Can't install Fireworks CS4

I just got the Master Collection CS4 and tried to install it.
It seems everything I selected installed correctly except for
Fireworks. The only thing in the FW folder is one sub-dir called
English and in that folder are a few misc files.
I tried to reinstall, but get the same results. I then d/l
the FW trial, but when I try to install, it says I already have FW
installed (but I don't). Also, in the Start menu, it lists all the
Master Collection programs, but no Fireworks! Any ideas what I may
have done wrong or suggestions on how to fix it? If I contact Adobe
support, will I have to pay even more?

Have you tried restarting your computer and then initiating the installation? Beyond that you can try closing down the application manually utilizing the Activity Monitor. You can find it at Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.

Error 2 when installing Fireworks CS4 Trial?

Hey, I keep getting the Error: Error 2 when ever I try to install Fireworks CS4 Trial, downloaded from Adobe.
Installing: Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Exstention Manager CS4
After its pretty much done, it say's finished but with Error's, hit view info, and I keep getting Error 2.
Tried dowloading the trial from other sites, and that still doesnt work.
All my Adobe products of CS3 have been uninstalled.
Problem help?

Fixed it! Yay
I've got to say - I owe it all to a guy called Justducky on macosx.com. Still, here's the story. After search around I found his post about a similar problem with Dreamweaver. He dug, and delved and worked on permissions etc but nothing worked.
Finally he got down to the solution:
Uninstall everything Adobe. I mean everything. AIR, flashplayers if you can. Everything. Delete .plist and .pref files that have adobe in the name (carefully).
Create a new account that has admin privileges (not convinced this was necessary but don't know Macs enough to confirm)
Safe Boot and log into the new account
Install Fireworks.
And there you go, it works. Simple eh? As an extra precaution when installing Fireworks I only did the bear minimum. I didn't install Air, Media Player, Bridge etc. I have done now and they work.
You can read the full account of JustDucky's journey here
Hope this works for you too!

I can't install dreamweaver CS4

I have buy Creative Suite design premium and i can't install dreamweaver CS4
before i installed DW CS4 beta for test and put the icon in the bin to desinstall it and now i can(t use the buy version
how can i do ?
thanks

You can't just trash Adobe apps. You need to uninstall them.
Now you'll need to hunt down the CS4 clean script and run that.

Is it possible to install Fireworks CS4 without other "hang-on" programs?

Hello gentlemen,
The question at hand is simple indeed;
Is it possible to install Fireworks CS4 without other "hang-on" programs? Especially Bridge CS4?
See the problem is were running version cue cs3, and we simply cannot shift to cs4, cause VC CS4 is not recognised by bridge cs3. Hairy yes.
Some of us need ONLY fireworks cs4, cause its miles better than cs3, but it automatically installs bridge cs4. And this kind of sucks, cause
we cant use the cs3 version cue server after that.
Big thanks for your answers!

I don't remember my installer program that well, no. I don't remember if it was possible to de-select Bridge. Did you try custom install to see? What have you tried?
It's possible to remove Bridge....
This search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS291US303&q=uninstall+adobe+bridge&aq=f& oq=&aqi=
Brings up this Adobe TechNote article as the first item:
Manually remove Adobe Bridge (Windows) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328358.html
Have you tried removing the unwanted version and then, possibly, installing/repairing to the old?
If you're uncomfortable editing your registry, then WinASO has a good registry cleaner: http://www.winaso.com/ (That's for Windows. Don't know how Macs do things.)
Other than that, I suggest you contact Adobe Support.

Can't install flash cs4 on windows 7

hello everybody,
I'm running windows 7 ultimate and I'm trying to install flash cs4 professional with no luck.
it always get stuck and about 93% and i get the error massage the it can't install flash cs4
please help me

Hi, just to expand my understanding. Have you had other versions of flash installed prior to the CS4 one? Maybe you should run a registry cleaner; there may be a reg problem based on my understanding. Also, check to see if you have any kind of software(like an antivirus etc), this may be not letting execute the installer files correctly.
Lastly, check to see if you have all the full privileges in your computer. Are you an administrator?
Please let me know if you have any questions. Hope this information is useful.

Can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. Setup error

I can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. I get a vague error that says Setup error, sontact Adobe Customer Support. Adobe Customer Support refuses to help me. That really upsets me.

First of all I would like to thank the people that responded to my post. I am extreemly impressed with your eagerness to help and your concern for my problem. Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
I did not see a way to get a transcript of my chat. I should have printed it at the conclusion of my chat. Overall though, I think my concerns are with Windows itself and also how Adobe as a company handles a call from someone who gets an installation error that says "call Adobe Customer Support". I purchased this program to run on Windows 7 and I am installing it on a Windows 7 computer. I feel that if Adobe is going to give a vague error message and tell you to contact them, they should give me more assistance than "your product is too old, good luck on the forums". I could see if I am calling and asking them how to do something, maybe my product is too old for that, but I think their responce was unacceptable. I hope enough other people complain so that Adobe changes this policy.
Wow, this has taken an enormous amount of time to deal with. I imagine this is mainly a Windows file permissions issue, but I think Adobe needs to take some ownership for a client having to spend many HOURS trying to install their program on the original OS they purchased the program for.
I definitely do not like the way the Adobe Dreamweaver installer deals with errors. Here are the facts as I know them.
When the installer would fail on install, the subsequesnt install would fail, but it would give a VERY cryptic error stating that the install failed and I need to contact Adobe customer service.
In order to re-install I had to un-install. Naturally my un-installs failed every time, too. After lots of trial and error and checking the forumns, I found   the program install folders under c:\programs. I deleted them, re-booted, unistalled again with no errors. Then I could re-install without the vague "contact Adobe customer support" error. Note that I had to re-install several times to get to the bottom of the installation problem so this took a long time to figure out.
In the end, I had to manually delete files from C:\Windows\Installer in order to get Dreamweaver to install. This took a long time to figure out, too. It still installed with errors, but it said Dreamweaver would work with limited functionality. So far this is good enough for me and I am tired of spending non-billable time on this.
Following is one of the main erros I got during the first failed install. IF ANYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY MY INSTALL WAS FAILING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO ACCESS THOSE FILES, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AS THE PROGRAM IS INSTALLED AS ADMINISTRATOR. Any thoughts???
Thanks again everyone who helped!

Problems Installing Fireworks CS4 - OS 10.5.6

Hi All,
Recently downloaded the Fireworks CS4 trial for my imac running 10.5.6.
Downloads fine, but hangs on the 'preparing to install' screen.
This is killing me, please help!!!
Thx in advance.
Rich

Sigh, I keep thinking I've found a solution, but no luck... First off, note this thread is specifically asking about a problem with Mac OS 10.5.6, so all Window solutions might be better found on a thread that's not supposed to be directed to a specific Mac problem. Second, I just wanted to state I'm having an identical issue, and I've tried every uninstall / cleanup script / reinstall method I could find on Adobe Support (many support pages referenced in these boards), and not one has worked. I'm so frustrated that Adobe locks down their software in such a complicated way that it results in so many PAID CUSTOMERS not being able to use the software they paid Adobe good money for, and also results in us losing countly hours attempting to fix the problem(s). And sadly, when I do searches to fix my problems, I find see tons of results for cracked versions of this software, and I can't help but wonder if I would have fewer issues running the cracked software than I paid so much for.
Can you tell I'm frustrated? Thanks for letting me vent. I've contacted Adobe support, if they are able to help me, I will post the solution here. And if they want to charge me for the support, boy will I be peeved!

Can't install Fireworks trial

Hello.
I downloaded Fireworks CS4 Trial, unpack it to my drive D and
cann't install it.
When I push setup exe I get an error "Setup has encountered
an error and can not continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for
assistance". But this is trial version and I have no support
programm.
I use Vista Business and have all rights, UAC is
disabled.

Hello.
I have successfully uninstalled Fireworks but no repair is
available. Since I started a new installation the problem appears
again.

How many computers can I install Indesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 on with an Asia Pacific Education version?

I've tried to have a look around among discussions, however, as it's CS4 and thus pretty outdated at this point, I'm having to start something new.
This is not for me, but a community organisation that I am volunteering for that has the copies and has asked me to see if they're allowed to install it on another computer within their small office.
Thanks in advance for any information!

J,
I believe you can only install an educational version on one computer. But an educational version is for one student/teacher and cannot be sold/given away to others, so they may be far out already.
But you should ask someone from Adobe.
You may try Customer Care,
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
or Adobe Support (phone),
http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/adobe-connect-phone-numbers.html
but they may tell you that the version is too old for them to deal with.
If you wish, you may report your (lack of) findings here, so I can maybe ask someone to find the right someone to give the final answers.

Can't Open Fireworks CS4 in Mac. Error Message

Hello,
I have had CS4 for 2 years almost and recently Fireworks won't open. When I click on the icon, I get this error message (below). I have updated by my Mac OS and Adobe updates with no success. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Fireworks, but it says I would need to deactivate my serial number from within Fireworks. Since I can't open Fireworks, I can't deactivate it - so presumably I wouldn't be able to reinstall it.
All my other Adobe products are working fine - it's just this one.
I operate Mac 10.6.7
Any suggestions? I'm not a graphic designer, so if you're able to assist, pretend you're explaining to an 8 year-old! :-)
Thank you kindly.

Thank you Linda, I thought I would post here since other users may have had a similar experience. My next step will be to reinstall the software since I'd rather not pay for their technical support if it's a simple fix - thus the posting here.

Windows 2003 ..can't install any CS4 applications

I use Windows 2003 as my workstation and for the past two days I've been trying to install trial CS4 applications but with no luck.
I've been using CS3 for a long time now without issues, installs perfectly using Application Verifier. I uninstalled CS3 before attempting CS4 installation.
I tried many things but no matter what I do it always gets to 90% on "checking system profile", then "Loading Setup" splash screen pops up for few seconds but than goes away and "checking system profile" is still there at 90% and never goes any further. I can see it using a bit of CPU and memory usage changes while it's there but it never goes any further.
I tried uninstalling all Adobe apps, except for Lightroom as I'm a little nervous about losing things, but it didn't help. I used both CS3 and CS4 cleanup scripts. I used two different admin accounts, disabled antivirus but nothing.
Log file doesn't show any errors as far as why the installation stops.
I tried standalone versions of Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4, they both show Loading Setup panel for few seconds but than setup.exe crashes. I tried faking WinXP SP2 and SP3 with application verifier but it makes no difference.
I'm out of ideas, formatting the system is really not an option, I have too many things.
My setup:
OS: Win 2003 Std
CPU: Core2Quad Q6600
RAM: 4 GB
HD: WD VelociRaptor
Video: GForce 6600GT

Actually Windows 2003 Server is not basically Windows XP on steroids and similarly, Windows 2008 Server is not basically Windows Vista on steroids. There are some significant differences between the desktop and server versions of Windows these days, especially related to security in terms of how applications are installed and what they can do. I learned about this the hard way when I tried to setup a new system with Windows 2003 Server instead of Windows XP Pro back in 2003 or so (primarily to get AppleTalk and MacOS file system compatibility services). Even then many applications and pieces of system software just wouldn't install.
Back to Adobe, we specifically have
not tested the CS4 suite or any of its application (other than InDesign Server 6) on any of the server versions of Windows. We don't claim compatibilty of same with CS4 in any of the system requirements. You will get any support this from Adobe Technical Support.
