"A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe FB 4.6 already exists..." Why?

I am installing CS on my MAC and everything installed just fine with the exception of Flash Buiilder 4.6. The error message says, "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 exists in this computer. The conflisting version must be removed before installing from the current media." I have tried everything! How can I find where the other version is that needs to be removed. And, yes, I have tried the Adobe cleanup tool.

And you're sure you don't have any version of Flash Builder installed ? Could you provide logs of the installation as described in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html

Conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Builder 4.6

I am installing CS6 Master Collection. However, Flash Builder 4.6 can't be installed due to "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media."
First, I tried to uninstall, but Flash Builder was not listed. Then I deleted all flash builder related files, no help.
Then I deleted all Flash Builder related registry entries, no success.
Finally I downloaded and ran the cleaner tool (it does not have any Flash Builder related selection) and restarted, but nothing seems to help.

I too have this problem. I have always installed a complete master collection without discarding the previous version as a 'fail-safe' incase some old files do not upgrade/translate properly. I currently have the full CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 on my computer. I have had to install CS6 but without Flash Builder 4.6 due to the error "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media.”
I do not really want to have to uninstall past versions. I have never had to do this in the past? I have also done a search and can't find anything that says Flash Builder 4.6 It seems that Flash Builder 4.5 is the most recent version on my computer that was installed with CS5.5. The only trial (or prerelease) software I have installed is Muse. This was installed months after installing Master Collection CS5.5.
Going through the troubleshooting info at post 6. It seems like it Flash Builder 4.5 (ie the previous CS5.5 install) that is causing the conflict. See text as copied from the log "WARNING: DW020: {2FC6B122-6F1F-409C-8FF0-8F8369D7F30B} Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 4.6.1.0 conflicts with: {9D0088AD-BBB1-470B-B7B8-520EDEFAE5F3} Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 4.5.0.0 Please uninstall these products, restart your computer and then run this installer again."
After uninstalling Flash Builder 4.5 (part of CS5.5 collection), I was then able to install Flash Builder 4.6. I then tried to reinstall the Flash Builder 4.5 using my CS5.5 installer but this came up as already installed; so it appears that you cannot have both Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Builder 4.6 installed on the same computer. Is this what Adobe intended ? What is the reason for this?

A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe photoshop cs6 exists...

I am realllllyyyyy frustrated about this issue , ive manually uninstalled ps cs6 portable, was its name but it also said when it booted up pre release of cs6 photoshop ,it due to it not being on the uninstall option on windows 7 64 bit ive downloaded the cs cleaner , ive gone on the option to clear everything ( number 1 option ) and still nothing ! This is very frustrating and any help will be appreciated , thanks in advance.

i could be wrong but i don't think there are any legal portable copies of adobe software.
if that's the case, you won't get support from adobe for removing all traces of that program and there may be parts of it designed to never be removed (if you received malicious software).
about the best you can do is manually remove everything that was installed, run the cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and then restart your computer.
whether you can install any adobe products at that point or not should not be your biggest concern.. i recommend you run the best antivirus and antimalware you can find.
if you're not comfortable editing your registry to remove all traces of that software, you might want to hire someone to clean your computer for you.

A conflicting or prerelease versoin of adobe photshop cs6

A conflicting or prerelease versoin of adobe photoshop cs6 exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media. please how can i resolve this a proplem?

Hi!
Adobe Had released a Public Beta version , So it might be that the application is still in your computer.
In Order to install the Full Licensed Version we need to first get rid of the Beta Version.
So Depending upon your Operating System First uninstall the application (Beta) and then we can install the appcliation.
And bingo The application would start working.
Hope It Helps
Thanks

Error on install, Beta or Prerelease versions of Adobe Flash Catalyst...

I tried to install Flash Catalyst from the Adobe Try It download.
When I went to install I got an error:
Your installation encountered errors.
Please try restarting your system and installing again.
Beta or prerelease versions of Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5.5 are installed on the machine, and must be uninstalled before this installation can proceed. Please uninstall these products, restart your computer, then run this installer again.
I don't have other prerelease versions on my computer. I did try rebooting and got the same error again.
Attached is a screenshot.
I'm on a Mac with 10.6.7 and I exceed the minimum requirements.

Ok will you can try running the uninstaller which is located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installer. It may not function due to the method you utilized to remove the software. If you still have problems then you can try running the CS5 Cleanup Script - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

I have a MacBook 10.5.8 OS. I have been getting an auto update notice for updating my current version 15.0 to 16.0.1. Tried to download version16.0.1 from Firefox web but got following message: A newer version named Firfox.app (15.0) already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you are moving? How can this be if the current version on my mac is 15.0?

Have you tried just using the built in updater to update firefox? [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

My Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5) downloads the newest version of Adobe, it does not work. Why?

My Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5) downloads the newest version of Adobe, but Adobe does not seem to be working, as I cannot download the pdf documents I need (and I get yet another message stating I need to download the newest version of Adobe). Everytime I try, I get a message saying it will not download. I have tried to download the newest Adobe version dozens of times. WHat is not working?

...of Adobe what ? Adobe is the name of the company that literally offers hundreds of different software products, each of which has a specific name. Unless you tell us what you downloaded, we have no idea what "does not work".

I cannot install Presenter 10 because I get a message "A conflicting or prelease version ... exists on this computer"

I previously had Presenter 8 installed, then upgraded to Presenter 9. I have uninstalled both. However, I get this message when I try to install Presenter 10: "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Presenter 10 (64 bit) exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media."
I never had Presenter 10 installed previously in any form. I suspect something in the Registry is the problem. Anyone had this experience and know how to resolve it?

Hi Dan,
You may need to remove the registry settings and manually delete Presenter folders from your system. Please follow the below steps (Make sure you take help of some technician before editing the registry):
Make sure Presenter is not visible in "Control Panel". If presenter then uninstall it first. Make sure that you check " Remove Preferences" option from the uninstall window while uninstalling it.
Go to Run>Type "Regedit" and click ok.
Expand : "HKEY_CURRNT_USER" and go to Software>Adobe.
Right Click "Adobe Presenter " Folder and Delete it.
Now expand : "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and go to Software>Adobe.
Delete "Adobe Presenter Video Express" Folder.
Go to : "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE">Software> "Wow6432Node" > Adobe > and delete "Adobe Presenter" folder.
Go to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe and delete Adobe Presenter Folder.
Go to : C:\Program Files\Adobe and delete Adobe Presenter folder.
Restart Machine.
Install Presnter 10 again.

Mayank

Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player, some sites do not play video

Hi,
Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player and active x from adobe.com, some sites do not play the video. A request box, install the plug in comes. When i click it, it again tries to install the same version of adobe, which i have already downloaded. it is only for some sites.
May be it is because, it is site problem? How to overcome it

ActiveX is part of the Windows operating system. Plus the ActiveX version of Adobe Flash is for Internet Explorer. Other browsers need their own version of Flash' Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash.
If you go to the Adobe website to download Flash while using Firefox, Adobe will provide the correct version of Flash automatically. Just make sure you de-select any other programs that Adobe may want to stick you with before you actually download Flash. Then close Firefox and run the Adobe Flash installer.

Hi DaLy
Sure, I'll be happy to try. However, all I really know about
it is what has been relayed to me over the years. I have no idea as
to how accurate it is or isn't.
I've been told that because Adobe (and formerly Macromedia)
are publicly traded companies, they have to be extra careful in
divulging any information that could impact the sales of their
stock. However, I balance this with the fact we regularly see
Microsoft (Who, unless I'm mistaken is also publicly traded)
divulgiing assorted features and whatnot.
I've also heard from time to time that it's more of a
"competitive edge" thing. Where if Company A divulges features in
progress, competitors may be able to somehow use this against
Company A by bringing their own software to market sooner wth the
features in place.
So I have to look at this and rather assume it simply comes
down to the company choice.
Cheers... Rick

Why can't I open any pdf files with any version of Adobe Reader after I upgraded?

Upgraded Adobe Reader not too long ago and after then it stopped opening pdf files. I had an old version of Adobe Acrobat and that opened the file no problem. I tried to downgrade Adobe Reader, but that didn't fix the problem.
Just tried to open Adobe Reader by itself without any files and it still crashed.
FYI – I’m using Windows 7 (Microsoft 2013)

It's not a good idea to have both Acrobat and Reader unless they're both of the same version number (like X or XI). Such a situation can cause all kinds of conflicts and crashes, as you've seen. Also, if you have an old version of Acrobat it's might not be compatible with your OS any more.

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge does not open. Help?

I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on MAC and Bridge does not open. It did open when I first downloaded it - but now a black question mark is over the BR icon and it does not open up. Any ideas from anyone?

Hi Steve -
I just thought it was interesting and helpful to me to learn that the icon for Bridge does not appear anywhere. Not in Application Folder. Not in the Finders Directory Files. I see your point - if I could locate that icon - I'd be set by dragging it onto my DOCK and launching it from there.
So - I'm assuming I need to uninstall CS6. Please list all the steps for me to uninstall so that I don't miss any CS6 files.
When I search in FINDER for CS6 uninstall- I see two icons - red adobe "UNINSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6" (both files are identical) Under KIND they both say Alias - with two different dates they were last opened (in November - few minutes apart). Is that what I use to uninstall completely all the files related to PS CS6 Extended as well as Bridge?
Do I need to DEACTIVATE ANYTHING ANYWHERE?
DOES ANYTHING NEED TO GO INTO TRASH.
I just want to make sure 'everything' related to CS6 Extended is off my computer and out of all the files. In the event i want to re-install - naturally I don't want to run into any conflicting 'issues'.
Do you think if I reinstall I will run into this same problem again (BR not launching)? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I note on the forums - going a few years back - that there have been a lot of issues related to this same problem - even in other versions of the Creative Suite. Is Adobe doing anything to rectify this problem for us Photoshop CS Suite lovers or is all their focus just going into CC?
Thank you so much for trying to help me resolve this issue. It is very frustrating to have an Adobe product that is not completely functional. Especially when the Creative Suites are so expensive. I appreciate all the time you've put into this issue.

FB 4.7 cannot locate the required version of Adobe Flash Player

The problem arises when I use the HTML wrapper to launch the app. By default in the Project Properties (Project / Properties / ActionScript Compiler / HTML wrapper), “Generate HTML wrapper file” is checked. I try to run FB 4.7 projects:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
I've installed the debugger version of the Flash Player. Didn't work. I've reinstalled Flash Builder. Didn't work. I tried using Safari instead of Firefox. Didn't work. When I go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ in the finder, I can see Flash Player.plugin right there. But when I go to Username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins the entire folder is blank. So I tried copying Flash Player.plugin to the latter folder. Didn't work.
System requirements:
OS X 10.8.2
Flash Builder 4.7 Premium
Flash Player Debugger 11.5.502.110
Anyone know how to fix this?

Not certain about this, but it sounds a lot like the issues that occur with IE on 64 bit (until you've messed around) or on Chrome generally, or on MaxThon (until you've deleted a file from the core installation).
Simply; there is a conflict with the Flash Plugins that you have installed.
You may have installed the debugger plugin, but there is another, non-debugger, plugin that is being chosen by preference. This may be an automatically installed one (as per Chrome), a more appropriate one (64-bit debugger didn't exist at the time I encountered the issue and probably still doesn't, so IE used the 64-bit non-debugger until I uninstalled it), just silly (as per the MaxThon default package that forces their fast mode to use an older plugin due to a frankly quite strange development decision) or just an install conflict (installing a newer plugin that overwrites or blocks the debugger from being used, which is I think what is happening to you).
When you have Flash launched in your browser, right-click and check it is the correct debugger version.
- If it is, then check that your launch path matches the output directory. (I have encountered an issue where a developer was outputting to bin-debug, but testing against bin-release before... Debugger couldn't connect because there was nothing to connect to.)
- If it isn't, which I suspect is more likely, then try uninstalling Flash plugin generally until you get a clean setup and then reinstall the debugger.
