Adobe Web Premium CS4 setup.exe not working (upgrade)

Just bought and downloaded Web Premium upgrade, extracted with no issue, ran setup.exe and the mouse flickered but nothing happened. No service listed in taskmanager, nothing. After googling a while, I used msconfig to turn off everything possible on startup, mcafee, carbonite, video card GUIs, java runtime, etc etc. rebooted, again nothing. I'm upgrading from Studio8 which installed with no trouble. I'm pulling my hair out!
I run vista ultimate 32bit, 700gigs free space, 4gig ram, 1gig video card, 2.4ghz dual core intel chip. I also have premiere elements and Photoshop elements package installed (v7) but they installed without a hitch.
Any suggestions?
PS: I did read through these forums and was trying to avoid editing my registry etc. When I go into add/remove programs, there is no trace of CS4 (thinking setup was running hidden or something) nor are there cs4 directories created in /programfiles/adobe.

any input on this? Adobe mail customer support recommended disabling UAC and/or using a new user account... neither worked.

Where to buy adobe web premium cs4 business license

where to buy adobe web premium cs4 business license

Hi Jiwaluka,
You cannot purchase Web Premium CS4 anymore! Shocked? Then here is a convincing answer for you.. :
Since you want to purchase a Volume Licensing, then you can purchase the current version which is CS6 and "Downgrade" to CS4. This Downgrade is available Only with Volume Licensing and doesn't come with Retail version. You can purchase the Volume Licensing of CS6 over Adobe Licensing site Or from a Reseller and contact Adobe Chat support or Phone support to request for a Downgrade.
Adobe issues only the serial number for CS4 after downgrade but doesn't not issue the download/box for that product. Hence before requesting for Downgrade you need to arrange the media of CS4 yourself. You can go to the below site to check if the required product is available for Download Link/ Replacement Box.
http://volumelicensing.adobe.com/store?Action=DisplayCategoryProductListPage&SiteID=adbevl us&Locale=en_US&categoryID=11612900
If it is not available in the above link, you can contact Adobe's authorized reseller to check with them if the media is available.
Once you purchase CS6 Full version and the media for CS4, you can contact Adobe Support to request for Downgrade. Usually they would ask for these queries, hence keep these information available when you contact them:
1. Downgrade Product name, version, platform and Language
2. Reason for Downgrade
3. End-User ID or Deploy-to ID(You will come to know these anonymous words when you purchase any Volume Licensing product)
4. Order number for CS6 and the Replacement media for CS4.
With all these information, contact Adobe Chat support, the issue should be resolved in your First contact if possible.

Adobe Web Premium CS4 for Macbook

Hello,
does anyone work with Adobe Web Premium Suite on a macbook?
The description says that you need 1280*900 for this suite....But I can't believe this.

h,
Why can't you believe it? You haven't told us anything about your Macbook. But it MUST meet the
minimum system requirements (emphasis on the word "minimum") or:
You may not be able to install or use some or all of the software
You may not be able to use some of the software features
You may freeze, crash or experience very slow or poor performance
You will not be getting your money's worth

I cannot find my original disks for Adobe Web Premium CS4. How do I move the software from my old laptop to a new one?

I purchased a new laptop and am in the process of installing all my software. Due to a recent move, I cannot find my installation disks for Web Premium CS4. Is there a way to move the software from the old laptop to the new one? I am a casual user of the software and do not want to upgrade to a new version.

Adobe master collection cs4 setup.exe installation problem

This is frustrating.
I have 30 day trial DVD from adobe, it is Master Collection CS4 and can't install it. Double clicking on setup.exe goes nowhere, just no response at all. You can see and hear DVD working, but nothing is happening, no response. I've been searching on forums, everywhere, no solution. Tried msicuu2.exe, also tried WinCS4Cleanupscript. Even registry cleaning tools. No progress.
It is HP Pavilion dv7, core 2 duo, 2.2GHz, 4GB ram, 320 GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista SP1 (fresh instalation).
Also tried with all current (july 2009) microsoft updates.
Obviously because it is a trial version I can't contact adobe support.
It is strange, I was able to install it on my old Windows XP laptop, but I can't do it on vista.
Strange is also that I can install separatelly 30day trials of Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 from adobe.com.
As I said, this is fresh instalation, so there was no previous adobe product installed at all.
Please help.

yes I expected as much. But I wasn't getting any good answers on vista either. I have several users who will be moving to 7 in the fall and need to see if it will work. thanks for the response.
Since my last post, I may have found the answer (no thanks to Adobe). Most of us having this issue are in using fresh installs of our OS. Since the setup is very heavy Java, I downloaded the Java Runtime from Sun and POOF I can install now. The error above went away and the install is running. InDesign failed, but everything else has installed so far. One would think that if the installer is so dependant on a Java VM being in place they would check for it and either prompt the end user or if an error occurs, post that in the error message. But I have noticed that most of my Adobe problems in the past do not have good QA or error message support. Usually I get a generic error message and am left to hunting for some kind of answer.
So to those who are having this issue. Load or re-load your Java VM and try again. That helped me.

Help! Upgrade Fireworks CS5 (from Creative Suite 5 Web Premium) to Fireworks CS6 not working!

Today I bought and downloaded Fireworks CS6 from the Adobe webshop as an update for my Fireworks CS5 that was included in my Creative Suite 5 Web Premium-set.
But during the installation of Fireworks CS6 the serial number of my Creative Suite 5 Web Premium - needed for the installer to verify that I could 'legaly' upgrade - was not accepted! So now I can use Fireworks CS6 only as a try-out-version...
What can I do? If Creative Suite 5 Web Premium isn't the right upgrade-version: how can I get my money back? Or is there another solution?
Please help Adobe!
And thanks in advance,

Thanks for the reply. but how do I manually weed out the install entries in my registry? could you please guide me with the steps? This http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html is not working I am afraid. I understand that I need to uninstall the creative suite before I run CS cleaner. But as I explained in my first question, the uninstallation is not working at all. Even I could uninstall the software, I am afraid that I may get into trouble if installatin is not working. All I want is that my photoshop error " save for web devices " which was grayed out should work as normal. This error happened after I moved the plug-ins.
Thanks

Windows 7 32bit bootcamp driver setup.exe not working?

I know this question has been asked several times, and I apologize for repetition, but I've downloaded the bootcamp files for 32bit windows 7, and copied them to install the drivers onto windows, but the setup.exe changes to an application that 'is not intended for this computer model'.
The 'new' setup.exe after accessing the external hard drive bootcamp:
As you can see, Windows 7 installed properly, but the drivers have not been installed. The only reason I am able to use Windows on this is because I manually installed the network adapter hard drive. If there is a way to fix this so I can properly install the drivers, I would love to know.
Thank you for your time.

You can find links for the various versions of Boot Camp here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Just find the correct model and version of windows and download the Boot Camp version provided by the link.
Note that there are a variety of versions of 4 available so it is important to make sure you find the correct model in order to get the correct version.

Windows 7 32bit bootcamp setup.exe not working? (MacbookPro)

Hi, sorry for asking a question that is probably asked frequently, but i have installed a 32 bit version of windows 7 on my macbook pro (13in) using BootCamp, and I realized that bootcamp 5 uses support software for only 64 bit, so I downloaded the Bootcamp version 4 support software for windows, and i am assuming it is only compatible with macbook air, because I keep recieving error messeges when trying to install it to windows 7. It says that it is not intended for this computer model. I have read that i can manually update my drivers, but I dont know how to do that???? Is there a version of support software that will work with macbook pro 32 bit? Or do i need to install the drivers manually?

Look under your machine here to see exactly which versions are supported and the correct boot camp pkg for that install.

Web Premium CS4 Installation Issues

I've been trying to install Web Premium CS4 on my Windows Vista Home Premium computer and keep getting a "setup error->contact customer support" message every time i click the install button, it happens almost immediately. Seeing how customer support isn't available on the weekend i figured i should post my problem here. This is my first time installing any Adobe CS product, so there shouldn't be any conflicting programs on my computer. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Problem FIXED!
Round one with Adobe:
I called Adobe once in the morning and discussed how could fix my setup error message and actually install Web Premium CS4 on my computer. They told me the usual such as turn off my antivirus software, mess with msconfig and restart, turn off UAC everything i have already tried but i did it again just to see if by magic it would work, but alas, it did not. Then Adobe told me there was pretty much nothing they could do and to call my computer manufacturer. So i had a conversation with DELL and they basically told me to contact Adobe again....by this point i have spent over 3 hours making phone calls, and it's becoming very irritating. So i think to myself, i'm calling Adobe again and if they can't help me today with this problem i want a refund because it just not worth all this crap. My morning is gone and now my afternoon is about to be, also, i've restarting my computer what feels like 20 times, that can't be good for it.
Round two with Adobe:
I call Adobe again, have another hour plus conversation with them but this time they were much more helpful and they gave me a customer number(why they didn't do that the first time, i'm not sure)and a case number. What i ended up doing was running CS3 cleanscript(i didn't have any previous Adobe software on my computer but they still told me to run it) on my computer about 6 times, then they directed me to microsofts website to download something random for my 32bit Vista machine which checks my machine and made sure certain javascript.dll and vgscript.dll files were running. Also Adobe had to take care of some registration issues on there end. And BAM! problem fixed. And now i have Adobe Web Premium CS4 on my computer and so far so good. Anyways, for everyone who is getting the "setup error-please contact customer support", you need to do exactly that because they had me doing some things to my computer which the average person wouldn't know how to do.
So basically what i'm saying, don't waste time like i did(i was forced becaue it was the weekend and Adobe support is closed) and restart your computer 20 times changing this and that crossing your fingers hoping it will work. Adobe should be able to help. They were not helpful the first time around but the second time i called(the same number) it was almost like i dailed a completely different number and unlocked the "real" Adobe because the experience was completely different.. So call them multiple times if you have too because it seems like it will be a different experience each time. So basically it was a 4 hour ordeal that i hope to never go through again. So goodluck!

Technical Communication Suite with Web Premium CS4

Can Technical Communicaton Suite coexist on a PC with Adobe Web Premium CS4? Any information is appreciated.

They are compatible. you will need to make certain choices about the programs that both programs install. For example, the Acrobat version installed by TSC2 is more capable than the one installed by Web Premium. Only install the parts you want.

Adobe setup did not worked

Hello,
Every time i try to install the last patch for photoshop cs4 11.0.2 (windows vista 32) I am always having a "Adobe setup did not worked".
The same problem happened for InDesign (6.0.() and After Effects (patch 9.0.3).
It's really driving me crazy.
Anyone can help me ?
JJ

Nothing you can do short of a full reinstall of all CS4. Your caps.db got locked due to a flakey update of another app and market some files as non-replacable, thus the updater fails. Read this and this, if you feel like reinstalling...

Eduardo Alejandro Lazo what specific error do you receive when trying to apply the update?
I would also recommend checking the installation logs for the updates you are attempting to apply for errors. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

Web Premium CS4 and Offline Files Issue

My system: Multiple notebooks, laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate, all on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 network.
I have My Documents, My Pictures, and My videos folders rehomed to the server via group policy, and when I unplug from the network these folders are available to the disconnected laptop/pc via offline files (and the offline file cache).
My issue: When I install Web Premium CS4 on any machine, if my laptop/pc is disconnected from the network, the offline folders disappear, although the offline file management snap-in tab shows the cache is stored, and when I plug back in to the network, the folders will soon appear. When the folders are visible, the offline status shows "Always available offline".
When I uninstall CS4, the trouble does not get fixed, but a barebones install from a disk image prior to CS4 installation fixes the problem, making me think adobe somehow changes network/registry settings to accomodate their own cache, or maybe something to do with the Adobe Bridge (just guessing). This happens on both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Win 7.
I have duplicated this issue on 3 different laptops, all with the same result. I opened a case with Adobe, but my case was immediately closed saying it was a Microsoft/network issue. In fact, I would guess the person who worked the case dismissed this out of hand, the case got closed so quickly.
Is there someone out there that has run into this issue?
Thank you,
Bob

Was this issue ever resolved? We are in the process of deploying design premium to around 1000 faculty members, and are experiencing the same issue. I wont know till the end of the day whether i can say 100% that its a CS 4 issue but im running a test on 3 laptops with slightly different configs.
All laptops are win7 enterprise, with folder redirection enabled, same symptoms are occuring.
As a test, i have been testing the offline files at different stages in the laptop bundle deployment to see where it starts to fail. I sync mydocs, undock laptop and then login to check offline files. I then wipe the CSC clean and move on to next step in deployment, and repeat check.
We are at the last step in deployment, adobe design premium CS4, and there have been no failures with offline files so far. After it finishes deploying ill report on my findings.
We have a ticket open with microsoft and our sysadmin has been working with them for a few days to resolve the issue, and so far they have been baffled, escalating the ticket to a debug team. We have not yet mentioned that we suspect CS4 to be the issue, as they would probabily pass the buck and blame adobe, (similar to the OP saying adobe is blaming microsoft); we want them to fully investigate first.
Sincerely,
A Frustrated Team

CS4 Dreamweaver says "License expired" even after installing Web Premium CS4

I just purchased Web Premium CS4. I had CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 Beta installed. Learned that I needed to uninstall CS4 Beta, used
the CS4 Uninstall script. Reinstalled CS4, it showed Dreamweaver would be installed (was no longer a greyed point). Went through entire installation. Everything works except Dreamweaver which continues to say "license has expired" as if it still has the beta license in there even though I've used the script to uninstall! Help, how can I get it to use the new licensed version?
The rest of the Web Premium CS4 applications are working properly, only Dreamweaver is giving me problems!
Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP3
Both my laptops have the exact same problem.

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS4 and ran it OK for about a week. Then all of a sudden it just crashed and wouldnt open anymore. No warnings etc. Just wouldnt open.
I'd seen enough of the program so decided I'd buy it and got CS4 extended (student version). Great stuff I thought. Uninstalled the trial version and went ahead with loading up the new program. All went well with the install, accepted my product key no problems. Then the dreaded "License has expired" has come up and I'm basically left with a brand new program that does nothing at all sitting on my computer. Bridge and drive etc work OK - or seem to.
I've had a case opened with Adobe for 3 days now and have had no response at all. - not that I'm expecting too much after reading comments on here and around the net. Seems they have my cash and thats it as far as they're concerned.
Luckily I dont have too much important stuff on my laptop and have it all backed up. So I'm tempted to be a bit extreme as long as I get some confidence it would work.
I'm presuming that if I format the Hard drive (its not partitioned) and reinstall my OEM Vista (from a Dell Disk) then there should be no problems with installing CS4 again and getting it to run without all the trouble of it seemingly looking at the wrong key for activation. I'm not sure if the OEM disk allows me to reformat the complete hard disk prior to loading Vista again. Or whether it will just keep the old stuff on and mess things up again.
I know the retail versions give you an option of a complete fresh install, but I dont really want to go and buy a copy of Vista just to get CS4 to work, and with Windows 7 on the horizon.
It might be cheaper to just to a larger hard drive (which I want anyway) and install on that.
Any opinions? I just really want to get this up and running.
Cheers for any help.
