Can't install Lightroom 4 Error 18501

Can't install lightroom 4. Error is 18501. Says I need to update explorer, adobe flash, etc. I went through all that. I have Explorer 10. I have latest adobe flash, etc. Have Windows 7. Had a disk of LR4. Installed. Clicked on shortcut it made. Asked to purchase a license. Then it said I needed all these things I just mentioned and keeps reporting same error 18501.

Sounds liek something is blocking the relevant components. Turn off any extras like security tools and other utilities.

Oliver,
Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

Can't install Lightroom 5 on a second computer, I am NOT a creative cloud customer, I am a stand-alone user. How do I enter my serial number???

I can't install Lightroom 5 on a second computer, I am NOT a creative cloud customer, I am a stand-alone user. But when I try to install on my laptop, it always trys to sell me the monthly membership. How do I enter my serial number in the second copy of lightroom? It won't ask me for it, and I cannot enter it anywhere in the settings? I am stuck

You probably downloaded the Cloud version. Get the licensed version thru the following linked page...

I can't install Lightroom from CC subscription

Hello, I can't install Lightroom from Adobe CC
Following 30 days of test with an evaluation version, I have subscribed to a pack CC+Lightroom; all is OK with CC, the evaluation version has been replaced by the subscribed one.
But on Lightroom side it went much more difficult; I was still with the evalaution version and was always requested to enter a serial number.
I asked for an advise on this forum and was suggested to uninstall Lightroom with Windows 8.1 process; I did so.
Now I try to install the regular Lightroom version, but a pop-up window called "URIHandler" is asking for the choice of a program, somewhere on my PC ?
I may add that the CC manager window is still indicated that I have an up-to date Lightroom version on my PC, which is unfortunately false; all lightroom directory has been deleted by the Windows uninstall process.
I am stuck at this stage; does someone did experience such situation, and could help ?
Thanks a lot

Might not help your specific issue but you're installing outdated software.
Try installing the current version 5.7.1

Apple decision to remove iDVD will deter me from recommending Mac to fellow Windows users.
Many other Mac users feel the same way.
Leave feedback here:

Now that my newly bought Mac does not provided a avenue for me to burnt DVDs, I am
really disappointed.
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

800-692-7753
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Apparently there seems to be an error extracting something from the package. Does this mean the pkg-fileis damaged or can I do something to fix it? It seems the image is damaged. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I downloaded for the third time and opened the DMG file through Finder (i normally use Pathfinder as a substitute for Finder) and after control of the DMG file I got the following message: "Lightroom_4_LS11.dmg non-valid checksum" < (my translation from Danish).
EDIT 2 [FIXED]:
The first three attempts were on images downloaded from the education store. All three downloads yielded a DMG image that failed CrC32 checksum control. I then downloaded lightroom as a trial from the main Adobe page. The image has the same size as the one I downloaded from the store. I Installed, provided my serial number and everything went fine. I performed checksum control with disk utility and it reported no errors. Thus, it seems the DMG image in the education store is corrupted.
Thank you in advance.
Best regard,
abbe
