My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
Can anyone help?

Yep.  Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI.  I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column.  Now it's just blank.  Link to screenshot below:

Note the install date.  That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it.  Now I can't even do that.  I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller.  It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it?  It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

    neither move nor copy is working. both way gives same error message. what i would like to do however is move the file. yes i am logged in as a the admin and the issue is affecting not just that particular file in my system but others as well. i looked at get info and no the file is not locked but under permission, it says everyone and read only. it will not let me change this setting from get info however when i look under system preferences for file sharing, my setting is read and write for admin (me), none for everyone and read for guests.

  • When trying to open any of the 4 apps in  Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard I own outright, , I am unable to use the software and instead am being prompted to "Renew your Subscription to Creative Cloud".  Please help me

    I have purchased and used Adobe Products for 25+ years and I own CS6 Design Standard outright. 
    I  had previously  subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud  but did not renew the annual subscription. 
    The CS6 Design Standard serial number is listed in my Adobe user account.    I have run the the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaning tool, uninstalled  the Adobe Creative Cloud App and all other CC apps from my iMac.  I reinstalled  fresh copies of the CS6 software two different times, first from  my CS6 DVD disk and then from the  Adobe Download page.  During each installation of CS6, all seemed to run normally and I was prompted to enter the license number and it was accepted.  However, when trying to open the software after completing the installation, I am being prevented from doing so without renewing the Creative Cloud  subscription. 
    Who knows of a solution to this problem? 
    Contacting Adobe’s Chat support and Customer Support portal has not resulted in a solution, even though they have confirmed the license number as being accurate and linked to my account.  After weeks of waiting on their responses, yesterday I was told to go to the Forums to find a solution….Please Help Me….Thanks

    I am not familiar with the process involved with the link I am providing so please accept my apology if it is a repeat of something you have already tried...
    How do I prevent Creative Cloud from taking over my CS6 perpetual license?

  • After trying to sync my ipad to a new pc, i get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  the device is not connected."  but it is connected.

    I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  The device is not connected."
    The device is connected, what is wrong here?

    This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
    To solve this problem, follow these steps.
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
    3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
    Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files.

  • Have a mbpro and trying to burn a dvd in its player but keep getting this error note:, have a mbpro and trying to burn a dvd in its player but keep getting this error note:

    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
    Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
    Anyone knows what does it mean? Why I can't burn a dvd on the computer's player? THanks

    I am using MPEG2 not AVC.
    I tried recreating everything couple of times starting from exporting form premiere, but no luck. Then I decided not to re start from premiere but just try a new encore project. I imported Premiere encoded M2v video and WAV audio in Encore. This way I lost the chapter markers created in premiere, so I recreated chapters in encore, and created menu. And started to build the DVD. This time my file size shows at 22.4 GB (and not 267) - which is great. But it did not succeed in building the DVD - got error 14 - file format error.
    When I created new Encore project, I chose 20 mbps data and edited encoding settings to 29.97 (as by default Encore was changing it to 23. something frames) - other settings were Min data rate at 7 (it does not let me increase that), taget rate 22 and max 30.
    Any suggestions to resolve error 14?
    Thanks.

    start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
    if cc (win):  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
    if, your error is:
    "Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
    first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
    to find OOBE:
    64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
    mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
    if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
    if you're using a dvd to install:
    copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
    if you're using a mac:
    1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
    2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
    3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    5. Start the installation again.
    if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

    It sounds like you downloaded the wrong application, namely Adobe Premiere Elements.

    Here's the link to the forum you want:

Suddenly received this error on PC start-up "The program can't start because MSVC80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Research on Net pointed me to iTunes as the issue. Tried to start iTunes and received that message again.

  • I am trying to update itunes software to 10.5 but I get an error message saying to try manually installing and I try that and it still doesn't work, Help!!

    I am trying to update itunes software to 10.5 but I get an error message saying to try manually installing, HELP!!!

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Reports are that this is a problem with the iTunes Store that they're working on. Some people have had success after signing out of their account and back in. If that doesn't work for you, wait a few hours or perhaps until tomorrow and by then they may have the problem sorted out.

  • I am trying to add a hard disk but keep getting an error message to add null disk

    I am trying to add a hard disk but keep getting an error message to add null disk. How do I fix this problem?

    When installing a new OSX, it is not unusual that some applications will not work.  You have to check with the developer to see if they have upgraded to the new OSX or find a substitute application.
    In regards to your new HDD, most of the time they come formatted for Windows, not Mac.  Connect the HDD to your MBP and open Disk Utility>Erase.  To make it compatible, select 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' as the format.  Click on the Erase button.  You then should be able to read and write to it.
