CS4 64-bit Installation Problems

I'm installing PS CS4 on Visat 64-bit. The first time I tried installing it the setup stopped when it was loading the Language pack for Device Central. I started the installation over again and removed Device central from the install and then started it again. This time it got almost to the end of install but it then stopped again when it was trying to install the Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack_x64.
Has anyone else loading CS4 had this problem in Vista 64-bit?

Ryan: I feel your pain, after just purchasing CS4 and attempting to install it on my perfectly set up XP x64 system only to find that CS4 was not supported on XP 64bit *sigh* I was reluctantly forced to reformat and switch to Vista (x64)..only to have the exact same problem you are having.
The installer somewhat works as when you install programs individually...eventually you can get what you need installed. However, this is only after running the installer 6 different times to install one app at a time (the installer crashes each time).
The installer crashes at installing "CS4 English Language Pack_x64".
I am installing on a fresh Vista x64 installation on a Mac Pro, all drivers installed properly.

  • Bridge to CS4 64 bit Vista - Problem with bit depth

    I'm using Camera Raw in Bridge and CS4 64 bit. When the Camera Raw window opens in Bridge, the image is shown in 8 bit mode even though shot in 16 bit. I could not find a setting in either the Bridge or CS4 Preferences that accounts for the down sampling. If I do the same raw conversion in Lightroom, this down sampling doesn't occur. Any ideas? Thanks

    <i>
    <b>You</b>
    </i> were the one that designated 8-bits in the Camera Raw workflow options. Click on what appears to be an underlined link right below your image in the Camera Raw dialog box. You will then be presented with the workflow options and you can set them to whatever you want.
    <br />
    <br /> Those options are sticky, which means they will remain in place until you change them again.
    <br />
    <br /> This is a screen shot of ACR in CS3, but the workflow options are located in the same place in CS4.

  • CS-4 Vista 64 Bit Installation problems - "checking system profile...."

    Hello All:
    I know that this has been discussed in the past, but I was hoping that perhaps someone has determined a fix for the following problem.
    Background: In the past, with Windows XP Professional, I never had problems with loading any Adobe products.  But just last week I reluctantly upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium because it came with a new power system PC that I purchased (AMD quad-core 2.4 gHz Phenom CPU, 8 Gigs of RAM and 1 TB HD) and this is where my problems began:
    Nature of problem:  I loaded the latest versions of Lightroom and Adobe Elements just fine - absolutely no problems there.  But when I tried to load my Photoshop CS-4 upgrade disk, it never gets past the "checking system profile" bar at the very beginning of the install process.  I mean to say that you initially get the install window and when you click "install," a small window comes up which indicates "checking system profile."  Then the progress indicator goes all the way to the right - around 90% to the right but then just hangs there - and I mean stays there...period.  I tried this several times, eventually having to use control/ALT/Delete in each instance to get it to stop.  I even let it stay there for over 6 hours - all to no avail.  What I found interesting is that just about all of my older programs - even those dating back to 2001 - all installed without a problem at all.
    2.  Actions I took to try and correct this:
        a.  Then, in my attempt to find fixes for this, I made sure to close out any background programs that were running (and Vista has a million of 'em), to include Firewall, Windows Defender, any other malware and anti-virus programs, not to mention a bunch of smaller programs that have items running in the background.  Then I tried loading CS-4 again....but still no go, the "checking system profile" indicator just hangs at 90% complete.  Note that at no time did the install process ever load any files at all - I checked everything to ensure this wasn't the case, otherwise I would have removed them.
        b.  On my next try, I then I copied all of the files from the CD to a folder on my desktop and tried to run the program from there - still no go as the "checking system profile" window still hangs at 90%  I even tried loading the program by right clicking on the exe file and installing "as administrator," but that didn't do the trick either.
        c.  Then I rebooted into safe mode, trying both to load the programs first from the CD and then from the desktop folder - still no go, but in this case it told me right up front that the action was unable to be completed.  I assumed this meant that in Windows Safe Mode, the installer was not available.
    Help Needed:  So folks, I know this has been discussed in the past, but I don't know of any fixes that are available.  Can anybody help me through this process?  You can also send me direct emails at:  [email protected] - which means I'd get them right away.
    This has been driving me up a wall because some other folks with Vista 64 Bit systems report that they had no problems with installation.  Again - it never makes it to installation, but gets hung up at the "checking system profile" stage.
    Argggggggg......
    Thanks,

    I believe you are falling victim to some known incombatibility of LR vs. PS CS4 installer. This should be covered in the knowledge base, so check there. A short way to happiness may be using the CS4 Clean Utility to remove the debris from the failed installs and unregister other Adobe installs, then install PS CS4, but since I don't use LR and never have tried this, I'm not sure if this specific case is covered.

  • CS4 Design Premium Installation Problem with DVDs

    Hey,
    I just bought the student Edition of the CS4 Desgin premium package.
    Have Windows XP SP3
    Anyway I put in the first DVD...and it loads...and loads....and loads...like half an hour.
    Nothing...cant open via explorer as well.
    So I restart with Dvd in the drive. restart took a bit longer but now I can acces via explorer.
    I start installation...works fine...put in Dvd2...works fine...Put in dvd3...loads...loads....loads...
    just for fun I put in dvd"Content"....loads...loads....loads.
    Ok so now I'm right in the middle of the installation...so cant just restart
    (I did try later after aborting Installation: then I can read em like dvd1)
    Now I have just installed half....with conent of dvd3-"content" missing
    I tested 25 other dvds I had laying around...all starting within the sec I entered em, so dvd drive seems fine.
    Cant remember how see specs at moment...but lets just say I can play "Crysis" on High smoothly
    It would maybe work if I could somehow install the content of dvd3 and dvd"Content" seperatley?
    (do I need dvd "content"?)
    Or how about If i create images of em and then mount em...think that would work (know a good free program?)?
    would appreciate some help

    I strongly suspect a bad production run of Adobe DVDs - I had enormous problems (see previous thread somewhere in this forum) attempting to install my Student Version Design Premium from the DVDs which Adobe sent me.  I then had absolutely no help from their telephone support.  I then had similarly no help from their online support portal - and, in fact, got really mad at them about it all.  I spent days trying to sort it out.  This message board - and one guru in particular - was very supportive and patient.
    My solution: I downloaded the trial version of the Creative Suite I had bought, installed from that (fast, easy, no problems at all) and then used the product key from the DVDs I had bought direct from Adobe.  So, I had to spend three days downloading (very slow broadband here) but it did, at least, get me a working copy.
    I wish Adobe would own up to sending out duff DVDs - but when I asked them (about the second question I asked in my first phone call) I was told that it was so unlikely that she (tech support woman) wanted me to try (all manner of ridiculous) other things first.

  • CS4 MASTER COLLECTION installation problem on VISTA SP1

    whenever i try to install CS$ MASTER COLLECTION on VISTA it shows me the following message. . .
    http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=83377733oh8.jpg
    any solutions? plz help me...........

    I get the same problem - any solution yet?
    CS4 programs crash at Startup so I unistalled it plus CS4Clease and MS Clean Installer as advised in forums.
    only to find the problem is still not fixed
    when installing a
    Warning message at install stating cs4 minimum system requirements are not met (this did not appear the first time I installed the program)
    http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=83377733oh8.jpg
    where as CS4 worked for several months, before the error occured
    this is the only warning
    it then installs CS4 no problem.
    after install
    Photoshop and Dreamweaver run but the rest of the packages including inDesign do not - they all crash on startup - continously
    I have searched the forums endlessly with no avail.
    Would a vista update have stopped CS4 from recognising or identifing the OS, thus causing the program to initially crash?

  • Solution? CS 3/Windows 7- 64 bit installation problem

    I found an answer for at least one of the MAJOR issues installing CS3 on Windows 7-64 bit ...
    The problem: CS3 installation goes smoothly, but when trying to open Photoshop, you get a blank Photoshop window and an endlessly spinning curser. Also, no other programs will open, yet if you check the program files, they seem complete. You may even discover that one of the non-working programs is actually open (but not accessible to you) somewhere in the depths of your computer. An error message may eventually appear (if you are lucky), which reads something to the effect: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair this product by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe Customer Support for help."
    Check this link for the solution, which worked for me after four weeks of frustration and three Adobe problem tickets that were declared closed without resolution of this problem:
    http://www.megaleecher.net/Flexnet_Licensing_Service
    Short form is that the Flexnet licensing feature for Windows 7 is not set properly and prevents CS3 from registration/activation. It must read "start" and "automatic" - not "stop" and/or "manual." You get to Flexnet Licensing as follows: Start Menu>Run> (type in) services.msc>enter
    Then double click FlexnetLic in the menu, change the Stop to Start (by clicking on the word) and the Manual to Automatic. Click save. Restart computer and launch any CS3 program. This should bring up the rest of the installation process beginnning where you enter your serial number(s). From that time on, for me, everything was operational and still is (Whoopee!!!!!!)
    Side Note to Adobe: When I first encountered this problem FOUR weeks ago, I talked three different times with Technical Assistance personnel. The second of these three could have solved the problem - he had the right information, as I can now see. The problem: I could NOT understand his English. His accent was very heavy and the phone connection was terrible. He struggled as I did with such simple things as the word "start" where he had to literally spell it out four times before I understood what he was saying. We eventually got to the Flexnet screen and possibly could have solved the issue right then. But the communication process was so labored that it didn't work. I'm guessing now that a step was missed somewhere, because now all is okey dokey, after using the information in the above link.

    Pat, thank you for your very prompt response.
    Regarding my FLF files I will try the VLC Media Player as you suggested, thank you.
    Now regarding the Flash Player being a browser add on in my IE, I checked through Tools / Manage add-ons / All Add-ons and it displays only Adobe Shockwave Object from the Adobe range of products. Adobe Flash Player is not an Add-on in my system.
    By uninstalling it (when I was trying to install a standalone product), did I delete this Add-on from the available Add-ons from my IE?
    And if I did that, how do I reinstate it? (As you said a standalone Flash Player would have its limitations).
    I would appreciate your advice.

  • Adobe master collection cs4 setup.exe installation problem

    This is frustrating.
    I have 30 day trial DVD from adobe, it is Master Collection CS4 and can't install it. Double clicking on setup.exe goes nowhere, just no response at all. You can see and hear DVD working, but nothing is happening, no response. I've been searching on forums, everywhere, no solution. Tried msicuu2.exe, also tried WinCS4Cleanupscript. Even registry cleaning tools. No progress.
    It is HP Pavilion dv7, core 2 duo, 2.2GHz, 4GB ram, 320 GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista SP1 (fresh instalation).
    Also tried with all current (july 2009) microsoft updates.
    Obviously because it is a trial version I can't contact adobe support.
    It is strange, I was able to install it on my old Windows XP laptop, but I can't do it on vista.
    Strange is also that I can install separatelly 30day trials of Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 from adobe.com.
    As I said, this is fresh instalation, so there was no previous adobe product installed at all.
    Please help.

    yes I expected as much.  But I wasn't getting any good answers on vista either.  I have several users who will be moving to 7 in the fall and need to see if it will work.  thanks for the response.
    Since my last post, I may have found the answer (no thanks to Adobe).  Most of us having this issue are in using fresh installs of our OS.  Since the setup is very heavy Java, I downloaded the Java Runtime from Sun and POOF I can install now.  The error above went away and the install is running.  InDesign failed, but everything else has installed so far.  One would think that if the installer is so dependant on a Java VM being in place they would check for it and either prompt the end user or if an error occurs, post that in the error message.  But I have noticed that most of my Adobe problems in the past do not have good QA or error message support.  Usually I get a generic error message and am left to hunting for some kind of answer.
    So to those who are having this issue.  Load or re-load your Java VM and try again.  That helped me.

  • Vista Ultimate: 64-bit Installation Problem

    Ok so I'm trying to install vista ultimate 64 bit, and when boot camp tells me to insert the disk, I did, then It restarted and when booting, it came to a black screen with white text saying:

    2.
    *+Select cdrom boot type:+*
    The problem here is that I can't type a darn thing! They keyboard doesn't do anything at all, and not even plugging in a usb keyboard worked.
    For those who will ask, yes, I have a genuine copy of Vista Ultimate 64-bit which includes a 32 bit version, but I'd rather NOT use the 32 bit one, because hey, I've paid for the one with 64 for a reason.
    Does anybody know what to do here? Is there a fix or am I screwed?

  • Windows 7 32 bit installation problem

    My Lenovo g50-30 with pentium n3530 inside shows bluescreen while & after installing Windows 7 32 bit. This type of system refuses to load despite all effort and reboots . The notebook is new, it contained freeDOS originally. BIOS update doesn't help, since it can only be made directly in OC. Help required. Ideas fail me.

    I had similar issues from time to time with Windows Vista / 7 - usually worked after I disabled the onboard COM and Parallel ports.

  • Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

    First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation  worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
    (Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
    it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w,  deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
    and
    then
    I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)"  from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
    The values I filled for
    1) Global Database Name :  orcl
    2) System Identifier : orcl
    3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
    4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
    5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
    6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
    Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
    Username : sys/ as sysdba
    Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
    After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

    Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
    Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

    Lightroom 3.2 Installation Problem on Windows 7 64-bit
    I can't install Lightroom 3.2 (German) on my computer (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit).
    While copying the extracted program files the following error message appears:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {6435B7C0-E0C8-3EA2-91AE-7640034EAFCE}. HRESULT: 0x80070002.
    I found out that other users had the same problem, and couldn't find a solution.
    Perhaps it is a Microsoft .NET Framework related problem. But after installing .NET Framework 4 nothing changed.
    Thanks for ideas to solve the problem.

    Thanks for your advice, Mr. McLion.
    I downloaded the 3.4.1 version and started the installation as administrator. Unfortunately the same error message occured again.
    Then I tried to install the 32-bit version (although I prefer a 64-bit program on a 64-bit operating system). A similar error message appeared at the same point of installation progress, but with another combination of numbers and letters in brackets.

    There are MeaLink notes on how to eradicate an Oracle install from Windows, but it boils down to this:
    Stop all Oracle services
    In the registery:
    - Delete all oracle services from the register (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
    - Delete the entire Oralce folder from HKLM\Software
    reboot
    Delete the ORACLE_HOME directory and any other Oracle related directories/files. Offhand, it seems like there is an Oracle directory under Program Files.

  • Photoshop CS4 64 bit  - Clone Tool does not work (and other tools)

    Hello.
    I have been using Photoshop for many years going back to v5.  I had used Design Prem Suite CS4 for the past year on an XP machine.  All worked fine.  I recently moved to WIndows 7 (64 bit) to get the add memory usage.  CS4 installs both 64 and 32 bit versions on Windows 7 64 bit.  So far all good.   Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.  I am at a dead end and really have no confidence in getting Adobe's help.
    My tools are working erratically, especially the cloning and healing tools.  I can't even use Photoshop in its current state and this has been going on now for weeks, no help from Adobe on my lates support ticket post.
    I canonly say that the clong tools is all over the place including but not limited to:
    * When I sample and then click to stamp, lines shoot across across the image as it I clone a line not a single sample area. These stamps can be the length of the enite image.
    * when I sample, then click to stamp, some the stamps occurs on some other part of the image.
    * when I sample and the click to stamp, nothing happens. I have to click several times.
    * when I sample and then click to stampl, the prior location I stamped has the clone applied
    There are more, but this is to just give an example.
    Notes:
    * I have trashed preferences at least 20 times and the problem immediately reappears
    * The problem happens in both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of PS running in Windows 7 65 bit
    * The problem occurs with OpenGL tuned on and off
    *  I have installed the latest PC patch 11.0.1
    * I have updated my latest NVidia drives. They are current.
    * I uninstalled Photoshop (kept the rest of Suite) and that did not work, and the same problem reappeared.  I am not uninstalling the complete suite but the reinstall has error (that is a separate issue)
    * I have triple monitors running off 2 GeForce 9800 GT cards.  These worked flawlessly before upgrading to the Windows 7 64 bit configuration.  When I upgrades, I replaced the processor, motherbaord and moved to 12 GB ram. The graphic cards are the same.
    Other tool issues:
    * I have similar problems with the healing brush
    * sometomes the text tool acts strange. I will click to enter text and a large area opens to enter text instead of just the cursor positioned ready for text.  Then other times it works normally.
    * the move tools sometimesacts strange. For example, if I try to move some test, the text jumps and moves of the image and I have to find it to drag it back on the image.
    Thanks in advance

    All I can say is...  Boy am I glad I have an ATI card that just works (and that's including Photoshop CS4/CS5 32/64 bit)!
    One thing I'm not sure was mentioned above...  Try changing your Advanced OpenGL preferences to "Basic" or even turning off OpenGL to see if it affects the issue.  Also try disabling the Show Overlay function in the CLONE SOURCE palette.
    Best of luck getting to the bottom of these problems, guys.  If they run on too long, consider switching brands.
