Adobe CS4 Re-Installation problem

A few years ago I bought Adobe Creative Suite CS4 for use in my college courses as an art major. However Photoshop had been recently crashing with strange frequency, disrupting my flow of work enough to prompt me to save it as frequently as every 5 minutes or so. As this was greatly hampering my work, i decided to attempt to reinstall Photoshop to see if the problem would persist once it was reinstalled.
Unfortunately I've not recieved the chance to test this theory.
In the process of re-installing, the adobe CD constantly stops when installing adobe air. You can hear the cd running with every element being installed, but once it reaches adobe air, it runs... then stops. It wont continue installing anything else.
I have re-installed Adobe Air, uninstalled Adobe Air, and left the installation "running" for several hours to no visible effect. Whats worse is that the program technically is running because when i force-quit it (the cancel button doesnt seem to work either) its not seen as 'not responding'.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as digital art is the kind with which i am most comfortable with.

Adobe CS4 Silent installation/Uninstallation

Hi, We are trying to install/uninstall Adobe CS4 silently. We are using below URL as a reference. http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/openoptions/pdfs/manualenterprisedeployment_cs4_help.pd f Our problem lies in that, we have trial version of Adobe CS4 and whenever we try to install CS4 by '<Path to setup> --mode=silent --DeploymentFile=<payh to install.xml>' command line, installation terminates with the error 'Exception: Property "serialNumber" is not valid: number is not present or well-formed'. Kindly let us know 1 Silent installation/uninstallation of Adobe CS4 WITHOUT serial key is possible or not? 2 Any alternative methods to achieve the same. Thanks in advance Vishwanath K

Adobe Reader XI Installation Problem

I just performed a fresh reload of Windows XP SP3 on one of my computers. After downloading and running the installer for Adobe Reader XI I get the following error pop up:
Internet Explorer Script Error
An Error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line:     1
Char:    10570
Error:    'ActionLaunchReader' is undefined.
Code:    0
URL:     http://127.0.0.1:2469/app/_js/adobe.js
Again I am running Windows XP SP3 with all the patches applied, JRE 7u10 (set as the default for both IE and Firefox), and scripting is enabled in Internet Explorer. I get the exact same error when trying to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player as well, however, Adobe Shockwave installed just fine.
I am new to this forum, so forgive me if this problem has been posted before. I did not find anything similar in a search. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Adobe CS4 School Installation Woes

Hi,
I'm a student at Brown University. I downloaded the 5-part installation for CS4 from the school website and have been plagued by installation problems since.
First, the error message "Session has dependencies that cannot be satisifed" appered. I used MS Windows Installer, Your Un-installer, and CS4/5 Cleaner to remove all the parts I've installed. Tried this for 3 - 4 times and still got the error message.
Eventually I got a different error message: "Installer database is corrupt". Tried uninstalling everything (including removal of CAPS file) and re-installing, but was faced with the System Profile Check being stuck at 90%. Did the uninstallation all over again and it's back to the "Installer database is corrupt" message. I've also tried deleting the regsvr32.dll file using the command prompt, as recommended by other forums.
In all, I must have gone through the cycle about 10 times, all to no avail.
I've read through the forums and tried all the remedies I could Google, and it seems I've come across pretty much every single installation problem raised by others. Does anyone has any clue what I should do?
System specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
RAM: 3GB
Thanks!

Adobe Premium Suite installation problem....

Hello,
First I am new to this forum.
The problem.....
Last night I was installing my adobe suite and a problem occured. At 46% installation disk 1 the installation got hung up. It looks like adobe media player was being installed at that point. I waited at least 10 minutes to see if it would continue and it did not. I restarted the install and deselected adobe media player and the installation went through ok. Could there be a problem with the disk? Should I ask adobe for a replacement disk?
Thanks in advance

Unlikely. It's more likely you had/ have a newer version of Adobe AIR/ AMP already on your system, causing an installer failure because it cannnot overwrite the files...
Mylenium
Mylenium,
Thanks for that response but......
I never had adobe AIR/AMP installed before so could it really be the problem?
What about this idea.....if i download the entire Design suite and reinstall using the download instaed of the disks
but use my serial number then will it work properly? what do you think?

HP pavilion g6 adobe reader 8 installer problem

I got a problem: (just got vista)
When I run the Adobe Reader 8 installer, I get this: Screenshot
I am really glad if you guys can help me to figure this out.Coz i love my HP laptop...thanks

First, I would use the latest version of Reader XI. But you need to empty your temp folder. You can have a temp folder off the C: drive and you can have a temp folder in your Personal Settings Folder.

Adobe Auditon 3 installation problems

Hi
I'm having trouble re-installing Adobe Audition 3.
I've been using Audition 3 for about 3 years with no problems. In the last few weeks it has started to do some unusual things eg asking if I want to open the wav file as 44100 and 16 bit etc. It didn't used to do that.
I therefore decided to uninstall and reinstall my Adobe as maybe it's become corrupted. That should be straightforward, but
1. my Serial Number is apparently no longer valid.
2. I've been directed to adobe.com/go/installation and I can't find the options for Audition 3.
The reason I decided to uninstall and reinstall Audition 3 is because today I've opened a wav file which is speech, and the 2 voices sound very deep.
Unfortunately, I can't find on adobe.com how to reinstall my Audition 3.
Please can you help?

OS Maverick for Mac and Adobe CS4 compatibility and problem fixes

Is Adobe CS4 Creative Suite which includes Illustrator, Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Bridge, etc.
compatible with OS Maverick upgrade for Mac? I want to upgrade my Mac Book Pro.

It's not per se 100% compatible, but many people run it still. The biggest hurdle will be re-configuring your OSX so legacy apps don't bump into permission issues with user folders such as Library. Also it seems to be impossible to produce PDFs under certain conditions and CS4 apps don't recognize most modern printers.

Adobe After Effects CS4 trial installation problem, Please Help!

Ok, I downloaded the trail version of Adobe After Effects CS4 onto my PC (Windows XP). When I try to run the setup (by double-clicking it), a window pops up saying 'Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Does anyone know why this is, and how I might be able to fix it? I already tried re-downloading it, and I checked the system requirements. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS! If it will help here are my PC's specs:
Operating System - Windows XP with service pack 3
RAM - 2.0GB
Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4830
Processor - Intel Core 2 Dual 2.2GHz
Monitor Resolution - 1280x1024
Thanks

Verify the following:
a) you run as administrator
b) your virus scanner and firewall don't interfere
c) you have enough temporary disk space
d) no other tools are interfering
For b), simply turn those tools off during install. For c), check your user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp). Clean it out either manually or using tools like CCleaner. Also defragment your drive. For d), you may need to uninstall otehr Adobe software. also monitor your task manager for processes and services that may have a negative impact. A dump of those can easily be generated using HijackThis!, so you can post the list here for verification, if needed. also provide any otehr info that could be important, like e.g. special drivers or user settings.

Adobe livecycle ES installation problem

Hi All,
I'm facing a problem in the Adobe livecycleES installation.
I have installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and proceeded to install livecycle ES 8.2.1. My installation is frozen after I select turn key installation. Waited for 1 hour, but does not move further.
Need Urgent help on this.
Regards
Divya

I had the same problem myself last week. One suggestion that I found for this problem was that the InstallShield database may be corrupt. The solution in that case was to rename or delete the following folder and then reboot the machine:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Universal\Adobe
This is suppossed to force InstallShield to recreate that directory structure. This did not work in my case, but it may work for you.
In my particular case, the problem appeared to be tied to the location of the installation files. I had placed them under "My Documents", so they were being run from "C:\Documents and Settings\kate.sherwood\My Documents". Once I moved the install set to the root of C:\ then the installation was able to continue as expected.
Regards,
Kate

Adobe InDesign CS3 Installation Problem...Over One Year and Counting

Well, it's been over a year since I purchased the Pagemaker to InDesign upgrade. I've tried at lease 15 times to load the software with the same "shared components failed to install" errors.
I've tried the Web for answers, the Clean-up utility and even called the tech support line. The answer (after waiting at least an hour on the phone) was to back up all of my files (on my time, not theirs) and run the scrub utility with the "undocumented" option 4...but watch out...
As a user of Pagemaker for nearly 15 years, I can't believe that Adobe (formerly Aldus) would release a product that cannot be used. I spent a bit over $200 for the upgrade...they got my money...I got a DVD of software that cannot be installed successfully.
As a customer for over 3 versions of the Pagemaker software, I find it a bit odd that I would have to spend hours on my computer trying to get Adobe software to install properly.
Is it just me, or have others given up on this?

And so what happened? I think Adobe is the first place you should go
with installation issues, and you should (and they should too) persist
until you get past the problem.
Tech support is a PITA. They make you do things you don't want to do
(like back up all your files on your own time); they make you jump
through silly hoops and crawl under the desk pulling parts out of your
computer; but they also have an obligation to get it working on your
computer, whatever it takes.
Call them back. Get a number. Keep track of who you talk to. Ask them to
bump you up to the next level. Keep trying.

Adobe Illustrator 10 Installation Problem

Ok so I now own a new Macbook and just tried to install the Adobe Illustrator 10 but it just crashes and fails when I try to install it. I know the disks are fine because I have installed it on my Quicksilver G4 with the Tiger as well, have never had a problem installing till getting this new Macbook.
I get to the part of installing the serial key then it just crashes. As well my G4 does not have the Classic environment either and still installs perfectly.
Any ideas as to why it will not work?
Thanks

You don't understand my point. If there were no Intel based chip, installation would be fine was what I am getting at. Your both actually correct though, I'm blaming the wrong company, my apologies to Microsoft, the 2 members who posted regarding Microsoft is not at fault are 100% correct. But we will definitely not see a patch from Adobe and since PS7 was a completely new cocoa app but Illustrator was merely ported over, hence the reason PS7 installs perfectly.
But at least the migration wizard does a good job an actually installs Illustrator 10 and it works perfectly.
