Can't install PS CS4 under Win7 32

Hi guys,
have some problems with photoshop cs running win 7.
I tryed to install the 30-days try-version, but every time I tryed I got an error!
ERROR 1603.
I just tyed everithing:     - reinstalling.
                                   - uninstalling and removing all REG-entries
                                   - uninstalling and removing all REG-entries and change installation folder
                                   - uninstalling an run the removing scripts from adobe
NOTHING WORKS!!!!!
Everytime I run the installation, it progress untill Photoshop-installation, and then abot it with ERROR 1603.
Hope someone of U have an idea, of what is going wrong.
Thanks for help.

There is a folder on the desktop correct from the download? There should be a .exe file in the folder that has to be run as administrator.
But then I am confused about what you wrote.
1. your making it sound like your trying to install the software and it failed the install.
2. It was already installed once but then reinstalled it again (trying to remove registry entries). The re-install will not work and you will never be able to remove the registry entries because they are hidden. The trial is only for one install for a 30 period and it is tracked in the registry. Short of wiping your computer there is nothing you can do to re-install the trial.

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!

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

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.

Can I install PSE 10-13 Win7-8 without the Organizer (uses a lot of resources)?

Can I install PSE 10-13 Win7-8 without the Organizer (uses a lot of resources)?

You can't install them separately, but it is easy to place unique shortcuts on the desktop for organizer and for editor.
In Organizer, go to Edit>Preferences>Auto Analyzer options and uncheck analyzer and people recognition if you don't use them - may improve resource utilization.

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.

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.

Hi @HungVo ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Probook 450 g and issues with the mouse drivers. The Synaptics Driver in Windows 7 comes with mouse drivers. Unless you are using a USB mouse which would use the Plug n Play drivers. Here is a download that might help.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system.
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

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.

Can I install Adobe CS4 on Mac OS X v10.9?

Hi,
Does anyone know whether you can install Adobe CS4 on MAC OS X v.9?
Thanks!

For the most part this should work, but you will need to make sure to e.g. fix the permissions on the Library folder because 10.9 handles this differently from previous versions of OSX. And of course there may be any number of other compatibility issues that may require manual fiddling.

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

I had a trail version of cs4 photoshop, and then I trashed it when I bought CS4. I installed all the programs excapt it wont install photoshop. When I put the disks in to try and install it again, I just get a list of all the cs4 programs that I have installed in my comp. And photoshop is not on the list. How can I install it? I have a woking serial number. Please help thanks

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?

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?
Mitja

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.
