Illustrator CS5 Error on Windows 7 64 bit, Uninstalled Illustrator CS5, Tried Re-Installing Illustrator CS5 on same pc new error

Hi,
I have been using the Adobe Creative Suite CS5 for a few years and haven't had a problem.
Recently, illustrator just would not open would get to initializing illustrator.exe and stay there. I tried uninstalling illustrator in the hopes it would fix it with a reinstall.
I got the download file and when I tried to open in to reinstall, I get this error "The file archive part of Adobe Illustrator CS5 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Illustrator CS5. Please download all parts." I then tried to download the whole Creative Suite and same error message occurred. I am not sure what to do or if I should just uninstall the whole creative suite and start fresh (would rather not because I don't want to lose my preferences and presets).
I am on Windows 7 64bit.
If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Uninstalls do not affect user-defined prefs and other custom files, but of course it may be a good idea to back everything up. A reinstall may be the only way to fix this. The error occurs because something else has introduced a flaky entry in the installer database and it goes looking for some file from a source that no longer is available. run the cleaner tool and reinstall everything after you have secured your prefs.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

    2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
    So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

    if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
    bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
    running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
    parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
    it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
    just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
    plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
    which it is not when it's in bootcamp

    IM TRYING TO INSTALL ITUNES TO MY COMPUTER BUT AN ERROR KEEPS ON POPPING SAYING THAT APPLE APPLICATION SUPPORT IS REQUIRED TO RUN ITUNES. PLEASE UNINSTALL AND INSTALL ITUNES. WHAT SHOULD/CAN I DO?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally. You could try this approach first.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir.

    I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir. I have the CDROM for CS3 and want to download onto the Air. Tried copying the files via TimeMachine share but didn't work. Do I need to buy an external USB to download or is there another option?

    Adobe applications typically place files in all sorts of locations, so trying to install Illustrator from a TM backup or copying from another system is very difficult since you probably can't get all the files. You'll need either an external CD/DVD drive or another computer with a drive you can access, either for Remote Disk:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
    or if it's a Mac to make a disk image of the Illustrator installer CD which you can then copy to the MBA and run.

    Do you own Illustrator CS3?  An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

  • Trying to install CS 5.5 on a newer computer (Windows 7) and I am told to "please restart computer." Restarting doesn't resolve anything

    I am trying to install CS 5.5 on a newer computer and every time I go through setup the serial number comes back good (green check mark, etc.) but then when I proceed with install, I am told to "please restart computer." No error number just "please restart." After restarting 5 or 6 times I realized there must be a deeper issue. I first made a basic mistake (forgot to deactivate the serial#) so I went back on to the original device and, interestingly, when I re-installed InD CS5.5 on the old computer, there was no incident. It then proceeded to function normally and opened just fine, I deactivated the serial#, and went back to the new computer. After installing and trying again, I got the same message "please restart computer."
    This was a license that allowed for multiple installs and I have put this program on a Win7 (pro) laptop before using the same serial number and had no issue. Now I am on an Asus Desktop running Win7 (home) and and am having this please restart problem. Could it be an OS issue? Any ideas of what to try?
    Thank you all, I hope someone can help.
    Tommy

    I think you need to clean this machine before trying again, so run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), then run MSconfig and turn off all non-essential startup programs before you try to install again.
    Also, be sure javascript is enabled. From the Start menu choose Run, then in the command field type regsvr32 jscript.dll and press Enter. You should get a confirmation.

  • Trying to install Lightroom 5 with CC but getting error code 5 on initial startup of Lightroom.

    Trying to install Lightroom 5 with CC but getting error code 5 on initial startup of Lightroom. Have uninstalled all adobe products including Creative Cloud CC.
    Followed the instructions on the forum by using the CC Cleaner App for OSX. Have restarted a number of times and even tried using disk utility to fix any permission probs. Still no luck.
    The problem started happening from upgrading the previous version of Lightroom to the most up to date version. Im hoping someone can help me with any ideas. Thanks heaps.

    Ended up fixing the problem after finding no answers. Deleted the following file
