Cannot Re-Install AI CS4 from CD

Had trouble with my XP computer...motherboard was replaced. Programs were saved, but not without issues. I could not define colors for a gradient screen and thought that the program needed reloading. When I went to un-install the previous version, it requested that I deactivate it. I assumed that since it would be the same program, just reloaded, I did not deactivate and am now wondering if this is the reason I cannot re-install. I took photos of 2 of the error messages:
Below is the first "error" ...
This error resulted "after" I tried what was suggested...restarting and trying again...

Thank you for attempting to help me ... I ran the CC/S Cleanet Tool but it ended with "errors". Tried to find the log on my system, but was unable to locate it even though I wrote down the path. I attempted to again re-install AI CS4 (it takes forever) and it ended with "Installation Failed" (see photo below) once again. Clicked on More Information to get to the "Sorry you are experiencing..." window and clicked "Get Support" and was directed to the Adobe Support Advisor page ( http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ ). There I downloaded the "Advisor" for windows and other than it loading into the Adobe folder, nothing happened. Is there anything else I should try?
When I "uninstalled" it the first time, it told me to deactivate it...I did not assuming I still wanted it activated...could this have something to do with my issue?

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.

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...

Cannot re-install Dreamweaver CS4

Two weeks ago I had a problem with my Windows XP Pro installation and had to "repair" the OS installation. After the repair everything that I had installed on this machine worked fine, save Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver would open but gave me nothing but a blank gray screen.
Assuming that an uninstall followed by a re-install would solve the problem, I proceeded to do just that. Boy, was I ever wrong. Two weeks later and about 40 hours of trying everything and everything that Adobe had to offer, I'm no closer to a working system than I was two weeks ago.
When I attempt to install the system, the installation process hangs at about 90% of the "Checking system" bar and never even gets to the actual installation phase. Inasmuch as I had it up and running for more than four months prior to Win XP crashing, I know the machine is capable of handling the system.
I have tried all 10 of the "suggestions" that Adobe makes regarding this problem. I have tried uninstalling everything Adobe on the machine, from Flash Player to Acrobat. I have run the CS5CleanupScript, which, if you follow the instructions and uninstall the product first, doesn't do squat, because (you guessed it) the Adobe product has been removed and the cleanup utility can't find it. Calling Tech Support is a joke, as after waiting an hour or so, all you get is some Indian or Philippino whos English is limited to "You must pray $39.00 prease".
I have searched every file on my computer and have uninstalled and/or deleted each and every file that contains anything referring to Adobe, Dreamweaver, CS4 and/or CS5. I have also done the same with the Windows registry, searching and removing any and all references to Dreamweaver. I still cannot get past the startup installation screen.
I have copied the CD onto my hard drive and attempted an installation from there with no success. I have tried it with a new user; I have tried it with each of the three Windows "Safe" modes. Absolutely nothing I do will re-install this product. I paid good money for this and even though CS5 is now available, I believe that I should still be able to use waht I paid for six months ago.
Can anyone give me any hint as to how to get Dreamweaver to install? Thanks for any help.

Knowing that you did all the clean tools and everything else, the only logical explanation left is that there is still a lingering problem in your OS installation. How exactly did you "repair" Windows XP? Did you do a complete re-install of the operation system or some other function. That might shed some light on possible problems and solutions.

Help - I cannot de-instal Adobe 8 from my computer - but I also cannot print anything today -

I am a not very experienced home computer user. I only ever instal updates to Adobe reader when told to. Today I am getting messages saying Adobe cannot be opened - and I cannot now print my gas bill ! I have tried to de-instal from control panel on my computer and the following message comes up:
I am getting messages saying there is a problem with Adobe and I cannot then print the item I want. I have tried to de-instal the product in order to re-instal and I get a message saying '/This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you cannot access it, or contact the vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package'.
I have no idea what this means !
I have tried to search the Adobe site for over an hour to find advice - we are using Windows XP and the free
version of Adobe - updating when told to.
Please advise with simple explanations for rectifying this problem. Thanks

Maybe its not compatible with with your program as its not compatible with Vista,,,,,,,
I have run the cleaner hoping it helps delete my Photoshop CS6 from my laptop....
The problem I encountered turned out to be because I have Vista on my laptop with 4 mbs memory.
Nowhere does it say you cannot use photoshop with Vista...and that 8 mbs of memory is required.
I have encountered numerous problems and now cannot restore my computer or uninstall Photoshop.
Its one huge mess
I have purchased a new computer with windows 7 and am having it set up by a technician right now but I still want this computer working too...
I still cannot delete Photoshop though I have tried and tried...and I cannot afford to pay him more to fix this computer up too...so I have to do it alone
The latest programs require 8 mbs of memory and Windows 7

Error 2 installing Illustrator CS4 from Web Premium

I've just spent a couple of hours trying to get Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium completely installed on my work PC (the University of St Andrews, UK) using the volume licence key but I get an error when installing it. It says "Done, with errors". When I click on "More Information" I get a message saying:
Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
Error:
Error 2.
and sure enough, everything works apart from Illustrator CS4. I read elsewhere on the forums (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2415634#2415634) about a solution, but I didn't fully understand the steps required.
I'm using an absolutely clean installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (just has Windows 7, Office 2007 Professional and now Adobe CS4 Web Premium. It's installed with English (United Kingdom) region settings.
When I run the Adobe Support Advisor it says:
Issue no: id18308
Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
Click here to read the Knowledge Base article
System Information :
Operating System = Windows 7 Professional
Locale = en
I followed the advice there, but the registry information didn't exist ("Right-click PDF Admin Settings and choose Permissions.") so I couldn't pursue that route.
When I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS4 it said that it was using "English (International)". It still doesn't work.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Or how can I contact Adobe about this directly?
Thanks

Hi Scott.
It was not that I was unwilling to Archive and Install... I didn't catch that in your initial response and that's why I called Apple... because I did understand that the user account was corrupt. Apparently Apple is not aware of the Archive and Install fix either because that was not recommended. I am sure if it was a common fix, they would have told me about it. So, now that you have further explained how Archive and Install work, I am sure that information will be very helpful to someone else with the exact same problem. This problem, for your information, is not uncommon as I found the question many times in my quest to get an answer... so there is indeed an issue that needs to be resolved. Installing this software should have been just as easy as it was to install all the other software on my computer.
I know someone will find your response, in its entirety, very helpful. Again, thank you for your time.
Take care,

Management Pack for Server 2008 OS Monitoring version 6.0.7296 cannot be installed or downloaded from the catalog

In our newly installed Operations Manager I'm trying to install the MP's for monitoring Windows Server 2008 OS through the catalog option. Every attempt (including downloading it through the OpsMgr console) fails with the following error:
Windows Server 2008 Operating System (Monitoring) did not pass the security verification.
The management pack cannot be downloaded and the temporary file has been deleted.
Could not load management pack [ID=Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.Monitoring, Keytoken=31bf3856ad364e35, Version=6.0.7296].
This includes the required packs: "Windows Server Operating System Library v6.0.7296" and "Windows Server 2008 Operating System (Discovery) v6.0.7296".
The only option I found was downloading it directly from the website http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9296 but I'm a bit anxious if it can't be downloaded from the catalog. Is this pack revoked? Or could there be something wrong
in our environment that prevents us from downloading it from the catalog?

I have the exact same issue - and when I select to download from the catalog, I get an error that the security certificate cannot be verified. I checked it, and it is valid till 2016, so I selected continue and then it works normally. however I do get the
same list of errors.
The normal "manual" download is available, and if it was pulled by MS, they would block the download button there too ?
I downloaded the MP manually and installed it without any issues. same for the sharepoint 2010 MP 14.0.7135.5000 mp. installing via the catalog failed while the manual download was available and works OK.
(and the weird thing is - I downloaded / installed a few other updates via the catalog fine....)

I cannot re-install Photoshop CS4 on my iMac

I used to have Photoshop CS4 on my iMac and it is up to date with all recent software, etc and plenty of memory. I have available license as well. When I reinstall I get error message and won't let me reinstall but not enough info to know why.

What is the exact error message?

Problem Re-installing InDesign CS4

When I try to re-install my registered copy of InDesign CS4, I get the message "The installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Serice." It was previously installed with no problem on the same HP laptop, but HP wiped the drive recently when I sent the laptop in for repair. Has anyone gotten this message? I also have InDesign CS4 installed on my desktop computer, but have been assured by Customer Service that I should be able to install the product on another computer with no problem, even though I didn't get a chance to deactivate it when the laptop drive was wiped.

Thanks so much, Peter! You're a lifesaver -- almost, anyway.
I was unaware of the demo downloads of legacy CS products. A great resource!! I followed your directions, got the download, and tried to install InDesign CS4, but received the same message as with my CD: "The installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service." I have to think it's something wrong (some software conflict??) with my less-than-a-year-old Intel i7 HP laptop, which I just got back from HP repair with the hard drive wiped. (It wouldn't boot. They said it was a memory chip problem and that they couldn't save my data.) To test my theory, I think I'll temporarily install InDesign CS4 from my CD on a friend's computer and see what happens.
Not sure what else to do but watch closely for any future odd behavior from this machine and, in the meantime, get Scribus or maybe PagePlus (never liked Publisher). Bummer! As a retired writer/graphic designer, I can't afford Adobe's latest and greatest, although I use InDesign a great deal -- and can easily make do with Photoshop Elements.
Any suggestions from you or others would be greatly appreciated. I'm certainly not looking forward to recreating a lot of documents in a lower-ranked program.

Cannot re-install my copy of CS4

cannot re-install my copy of CS4 from the adobe site. It is registered, and i can see it under "My Products" with the serial number, but it will not let me re-download the software.

The easiest method is to download the trial from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Ensure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the download links will not work.
Launch the trial then enter your serial number to license it.

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.

This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!

My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
Can anyone help?

Yep. Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI. I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column. Now it's just blank. Link to screenshot below:
http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/5006/screenshotcaf.jpg
Note the install date. That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it. Now I can't even do that. I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller. It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it? It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.
