After effects trial install error

On the install of the evaluation version of "After Effects CS4" and after the "checking system profile" box is displayed, another dialog box with the error "Critical Errors were found in setup. Please see the setup log file for details." After clicking this box the install terminates. I can't find any setup log file to check what the error might report.
I am using a 32 bit system with Vista.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it.

The logs are located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers. In any case, I'm sure this could be solved without the logs. Is there any other Adobe software on your system? If so, it may need to be uninstalled or at least "cleaned" using the CS4 Clean Script from the support pages. Also provide a few moire details about your computer. Maybe you are also running low on disk space or have a permission issue (Are you running as administrator?).

  • Can't install After Effects trial but can install other Adobe programs?

    Hi,
    I've been trying to download the After Effects trial on my Vista for the past two hours to no avail, with "Error 107". I've tried the troubleshooting on your website, following "Solution 1", clearing cookies, deleting files, trying the download through Chrome AND Internet Explorer, the good old restart the computer, saving the Download Assistant in multiple locations, and NOTHING worked. So I tried seeing if this was the case for all Adobe programs, and every other one works perfectly through the ADA. The problem seems to lie within the After Effects. What's going on and how can I solve this?

    Do you have a 64-bit version of Vista?
    You cannot install or run  After Effects CS5/5.5 on any of the following operating systems:
    32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows XP Home or Professional
    32-bit editions of Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise
    32-bit editions of Windows 7 Starter, Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate

  • Can't find the app After Effects (trial) after I downloaded CC and the trial! Help?!

    I downloaded Creative Cloud and After Effects trial. Creative Cloud says I downloaded it but I don't know where it is. I am using my brand new Macbook Pro Retina.

    If you downloaded the Creative Cloud app and you installed After Effects from the list then it is in your program files along with all of the other programs on your computer. Really basic stuff here....
    If After Effects is not on visible in the list when you open the Creative Cloud app then your system does not meet the minimum system requirements, it is as simple as that. The OS may be compatible but the hardware may not be.

    I've uninstalled previous versions, and I don't know what to do now.

    I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
    I'm baffled....

  • HOW DO I ACCESS MY AFTER EFFECTS TRIAL VERSION

    I HAVE JUST INSTALLED THE CREATIVE CLOUD AND I BELEIVE THAT I HAVE AFTER EFFECTS.
    HOW DO I ACCESS MY AFTER EFFECTS TRIAL VERSION?
    I DID HAVE ISSUES WITH MT MS INSTALLER, BUT I HAVE SINCE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.
    THANK YOU.

    Without proper system information and an exact description of what you actually did nobody can say anything. Sorry, but "I believe..." is just not particularly meaningful, especially since you mentioned that you had issues, which you also haven't explained.

    Hello,
    I had this exact same problem, and I didn't know what to do. However, I went into the menu to Force Quit Applications (Apple Menu, Force Quit...), and I noticed that Skype wasn't responding. I wondered why, and I force quitted it. Straight away, my update went to 97%, and after a short while, installed. I'm not sure if this is the case with your computer, or if you even have Skype, but this solution works for me.
    Kind Regards,

  • After Effects Trial not downloading

    When attempting to download the After Effects trial it states that it will download the creative cloud and then upon signing in the After Effects trial will download. I have attempted this twice and both time the After Effects trial does not dowload upon siging intot he creative cloud nor is it a listed option to dowload  under the "apps" tab.  I am currently using Windows 7.

    My guess is that you're using a 32-bit operating system. After Effects requires a 64-bit OS.
