Can't install Photoshop CS4 Ext

I have a computer with Win XP SP3 with CS4 Design Standard already installed.
I installed Photoshop CS4 Extended, but when I start Photoshop Ext, Photoshop (not Ext) starts.
I deinstalled Photoshop Ext and Photoshop in CS4 Design Standard, then installed Photoshop CS4 Ext again.
But when I start it, Photoshop (not Ext) starts.
So I deinstalled Photoshop Ext, deinstalled complete CS4 Design Standard. I used Clean Script CS4, deleted preferences files, then installed Photoshop CS4 Ext again. But still the Photoshop starts (not Ext).
Does anybody have any idea?

There is no upgrade path from 7 to CS4 if that is what your asking. You will have to buy the whole PS CS4 Ext product.
Is it worth it? Depends on what you do with the software. PS CS4 Ext comes in 64 bit and can handle all the RAM you can throw at it. But your system must be able to support the CS4 requirements and that in itself could be costly upgrade wise. Photoshop elements is pretty good for the average user. However if you want it all CS4 would be the way to go and is geared for the professional user. I don't consider myself a pro but I use it for my hobby and such.
If you can hold off CS5 is coming down the pipeline. If you buy CS4 extended now at the full blown price and CS5 comes out and you want CS5 you have to eat the price of CS4 plus the CS5 upgrade. Just food for though (No pun inteneded. Ok, just a little one). PS CS4 is a lot of bucks for just casual photo adjustment usage.

  • Can't install photoshop CS4

    I am using windows XP SP3 and tried to install photoshop CS4 many times. But every time, after a certain extent of the completion of the setup, my system automatically restarts. I checked the setup log file and found that the last line of the log file is same each time I try to install it. That means some particular operation is creating some problem. The last few lines of the setup are as follows:
    *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

  • Can't install Photoshop CS4 on Macbook Pro 10.8.3

    When I try to install from my original disc, it freezes and stops the install about halfway through.  Any fixes?

    Hi RodWS,
    Photoshop CS4 has not been tested and you might face compatibility issues with MAC OS 10.8.3
    Please consider upgrading to the latest CS6 version. You can even opt for a monthly subscription for it from Creative Cloud at a very nominal fee.

  • I can't install photoshop CS4 but all other CS have installed

    It might help others help you more directly if you provide some additional information:
    What Windows operating system?  32 or 64 bit?
    What kind of computer?
    What Adobe CS package is it (e.g., "master suite")?
    Where did you buy a CS4 package recently?
    What error message(s) (if any) did you get when you initially installed the software and Photoshop wouldn't install?

    hi there
    I'm facing the exact same dilemma ...
    so, what's the solution?
    what sould I do ?
    should I switch like Arni ? to a regular version ?
    what annoys me is that my version is activated, not using a trial version ...
    so, why can't I get the updates for the middle eastern version?????
    would I face issues with the regular version when it comes to Arabic for example being used in the graphics and all?
    I'm not really concerned with menus in arabic, all I care for is the fonts being used properly without the fuzzy twisted letters ...
    any help plz?

  • Can't install Photoshop CS4 in Lion

    Hi, I have a new iMac Core i7 that came with Lion installed. We have Creative Suite 4 Design Premium as an upgrade from the original Creative Suite Premium which was itself an upgrade from Photoshop 7. I only want to install Photoshop from CS4. The installer asks for the CS4 serial number which I enter, then it says this is an upgrade so enter the original serial number from CS1 which I then enter. When the install screen comes up all the apps show up except Photoshop. I thought maybe all the information wasn't fitting in the window but there are no scroll bars and the window isn't resizable. We installed this with no problem on the old MacBook Pro but we installed the whole suite. Any idea why Photoshop won't show up? I looked through other forums and Photoshop CS4 seems to work in Lion and in 64 bit so I'm guessing that's not the issue.
    Thanks for any help.

    Doh!! Bonehead!! It was a scrolling issue. When I mentioned scrolling in my first post I got to wondering how hard I actually tried to scroll the installation window down. So I tried to install one last time and sure enough there were several more pages of info below the bottom of the window. All is good now. I guess I'm still getting used to all this gesturing stuff in Lion.

    Unfortunately, that data does not help me in the least.
    However, I would check that ALL languages match. With Adobe installations, you have the opportunity to choose the language for the installer, and then again for the installation of that program. You OS will have language, keyboard and then the Time/Place settings. I'd make sure that they all match, as many have had issues installing where there was a mismatch in the languages. Check everywhere, that they match.
    Good luck,

    PS is this the download version, or the DVD version? Is this a trial, or a full-paid version? If former, where did you get the download, and if the latter, where did you get the file, or the DVD?

  • I Can't Install Photoshop CS4

    I download .7z file and .exe file. I run .exe file to extract all files in .7z files to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Adobe\Photoshop. I click on Ps icon (Setup.exe) and it's doesn't do anything. I already install Photoshop CS3 Extended (try out). Something about my System :
    - General
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8200 @ 2.66GHz
    Mainboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. P35-S3G
    Windows : Windows XP Professional (5.1.2600) Service Pack 3
    - Graphics
    Monitor: SyncMaster 2032BW, SyncMaster Magic CX2032GW
    Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

    This problem occurs because of an incomplete uninstallation - of (nearly) any of the Adobe CS4 trial products - prior to a proper serialized product installation.
    After uninstalling, I simply downloaded and launched the CS4 Clean Script tool to remove some registry files that apperantly caused the conflict:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    That should fix it.
    Just to be safe, I then installed Photoshop in the selective (or 'simplified') mode on my Windows PC, disabling non-essential programs.
    It's running like a clock.

  • I need to install photoshop cs4 extended from a disk to a new computer because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case.  How can I obtain a usable serial number?

    I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash.  There is no serial number on the back of the case.  How can I obtain a usable serial number?

    Find your serial number quickly
    You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past.  The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box.  If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS4 from Design Standard Educational

    I just purchased the educational version of Adobe CS4 Design Standard and had no problem installing everything but Photoshop CS4 (which is what I really need)!  It does not show up on the installation menu when I run startup, but it seems to be on the install DVD in a couple of .dmg packages. I currently have photshop elements 6 for Mac installed, and I previously had the Photoshop CS4 ext trial with LightRoom 2 installed, but removed them from my system once the trial was over. Why isn't Photoshop CS4 installing and how can I fix it? Do I need to reinstall the trial software and then try and activate the serial number? Is the install DVD disk bad?
    I had a look through the forums here and don't seem to have any of the same issues.  I have three disks in the package, 1-Applications, 2-Content, and 3-Learning.
    I can see the .dmg files for Photoshop on the 1-Applications disk, but am not sure if I expand them will they install Photoshop properly.  I managed to install InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat 9 with the assorted pieces without any problems, and still have about 100GB of space left on the drive.
    I'm installing it on my MacBook Pro, with 250GB HD, and 4GB of RAM with the 512MB video card.  I previously ran the trial version on the machine without any issues, so I am assuming that there are no problems with the minimum requirements to run the software.  The one issue I am thinking that might be affecting it is that I do have Safari 4 on my machine...
    Any ideas?

    That did the trick.  I think I removed the old trial version by just dragging it into the trash and not using the uninstall function.  Adobe customer service really sucks as well.  I submitted a ticket to them about this and they cancelled it as the registration for CS4 Design Standard wasn't listed in the drop down menu when sent it in, despite it being registered.  Obviously Customer Service people who can't read!!
    Just goes to show that this forum is a better trouble-shooting environment!  The only funny thing with using the clean tool, is that I had to completely remove all programs installed with Design Standard and then re-install everything.  Very clunky.  They should get some more people from Apple to design the Adobe installation/uninstallation process...

  • I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

      Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

    When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
    You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
    Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Problems installing Photoshop CS4, keeps getting stuck on "installing Adobe Air." Tips?

    I'm trying to install Photoshop CS4, but it keeps getting stuck on "installing Adobe Air" every time. Freezes, makes no more progress, eventually I have to force quit. I've even downloaded and installed it (Air) separately, but it keeps getting stuck on it in the CS4 install. Any tips? I'm running 10.8.5 on a MacBook Air. Saw something about deleting Adobe FlashPlayer to maybe fix it? Any and all tips welcome. Thx.

    Googling only comes up with a couple things where someone was trying to
    install a cracked version they downloaded, so it could be a corruption
    problem.
    If this is a downloaded installer, then redownload it and try installing,
    again.
    If you are inserting a DVD and autoplay is starting up and you get this
    message, you can shut down the installer process as you've done then instead
    of double-clicking the DVD, use right-click Explore to view the files
    directly on the DVD without running AutoPlay, then find the setup.exe or
    something.MSI with EN in it's name to run the installer, directly, without
    goint through autoplay.  This would only make a difference if the autoplay
    is corrupted somehow but everything else is ok.  Since your error message
    talks about autoplay then maybe that is the case.
    If you are calling Adobe for support, it can take hours, depending on when
    you call.
    This "open letter to Adobe customers" was posted within the last few days
    and basically apologizes for poor support, recently, while they change from
    support-provider to another:
