CS4 Design Premium MAC...Installed But No Flash Showing Up

I have installed Adobe CS4 Design Premium MAC and when I go to the list of programs, Flash Professional does not show up on the list. Does anyone know why? What could be causing that to happen? Are there any known issues with this? Does anyone know how to fix this? Please advise. Thanks in advance for your help.

sounds like you had Flash trial installed and you did not uninstall it correctly. run the CS4 cleanscript and reinstall everything.

Is there a way i can install one licensed adobe cs4 design premium in both my desktop and lap top?

I just bought a macbook pro and would like to install adobe cs4 design premium on it, but I also like to keep it install on my desk top. Is there a way i can install one licensed application on both computers? Thanks for your help.

Read the license agreement . There will be a lot of impenetrable legalese gobbledygook in it, no doubt, but I bet it will be crystal clear on the subject of how many computers the software can be installed and activated on at once.
My money is on one.

Student CS4 Design Premium Upgrade to CS5

Perhaps I am prematurely worrying about this...
I purchased the Student Edition of CS4 Design Premium (Mac) a week ago; I registered my copy and even received the free gift from Adobe. I was wondering, when CS5 comes out, will I be able to simply purchase an upgrade, or will I have to purchase a full version? I will have probably graduated by the time a new suite comes out, so I will no longer be eligible for student products.
I searched and searched the forums for an answer, but only found questions regarding upgrades in relation to the Academic Version, not the Student Edition.

> Perhaps I am prematurely worrying about this
You are. That said, as long as nothing changes, yes, you'll be able to
upgrade.

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

Thank you Bturko in the future only migrate/copy/transfer your documents and settings. Adobe applications especially are not designed to be transferred from one computer to another. It is possible to recover however. I would recommend the following steps:
Run the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
Run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal - 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.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files they can be downloaded at Download CS3 products.
Run the installer and reinstall Creative Suite 3.

Unable to open Adobe Acrobat Pro after CS4 Design Premium install

I recently purchased Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I attempted to install it Sunday, and it completed with an indication of success. I then tried to open all my applications to make sure everything went well, and Acrobat keeps coming up with the following error: "You can't open the application Adobe Acrobat Pro because it may be damaged or incomplete." I tried to remove it with the uninstaller, and it does not see it. I have tried to install it multiple times. I even swapped out the DVD drive to see if it was having problems reading the disc, but nothing has helped. I even tried to delete it entirely. I currently have a web case open, but they state that can take up to 3 days to be answered. I tried to call technical support, but gave up after an hour on hold. I suspect a bad disc, but I really don't want to have to wait a week or more to get the issue resolved through sending endless emails back and forth with a web case. I was hoping someone would have a good answer to my problem that would not require that. I am trying to install it on a fairly plain OS 10.6.2 system. It is a 2009 Mac Pro Quad with 6GB of RAM. As stated, so far none of the other applications are giving me any issue. It has just been Acrobat Pro.
Thanks.

I ended up finding the probable solution to this problem. I downloaded the trial version of CS4 Design Premium. Seeing that I had already installed CS4, it asked what application I wanted to reinstall. I reinstalled Acrobat. When I opened it the first time, it told me that the licensing server could not be reached. I opened Photoshop, then it again. It has worked fine since then. I have updated it to 9.3.1, so it should be good from here on out.

Insecure Flash files in CS4 Design Premium

Vista Home Premium SP1
CS4 Design Premium
Downloaded and installed CS4 Design Premium. Ran the check for updates, found nine and installed them. Then I ran Secunia PSI which found the following insecure file versions within Adobe. I'm assuming they're all Flash files. (I have the current version of Flash [10.0.12.36] installed for both Firefox and IE.) I've done a search, but can't find anything applicable to Design Premium Flash issues. Any idea what's to be done about these files?:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\AIK1.1\runtimes\air\win\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Resources\NPSWF32.dll Version 9.0.124.0

Error trying to install CS4 design premium on windows vista home premium

I'm having trouble installing CS4 design premium, as soon as it does the checking system it comes up with an error that says I need windows XP sevice pack 2 and some other windows. I have Windows vista home premium and all the other requirements, so i'm not sure why it's saying that? I do have CS3 installed but I didn't want to unistall it before I installed the CS4, cause then I wouldn't have anything to work on. The CS4 is brand new and I have it installed with no problems on another computer that has windows XP. Would I have to uninstall CS3 before I try to install it? I'm afraid that I will be left with neither if I do that and this was not a cheap investment to take that chance. Does anyone know how I could get CS4 design premium installed?
Thank you
Jorge Gonzalez

You should npt have to uninstall anything except Acrobat for CS4 to install. You can call tech support for free installation support.

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)
Acrobat Pro 9 will not install (FAILED), although every other program on the CS4 DVDs did install properly.
I have followed the instructions, and have tried with no programs running, not even virus protection (which is an insane thing for Adobe to demand of a product being installed where the installation routine is expecting an Internet connection): FAILED.
I uninstalled my Acrobat 6 Pro, (a standalone Pro version that I had to have a few years ago.) I uninstalled that working program knowing I had no idea where my original Adobe Acrobat CD is located, so I was essentially cutting myself off of Acrobat Pro if the Acrobat 9 Pro install continued to fail.
I reported this to Adobe support online.
I have followed the instructions to disable startup items and services, then tried the Acrobat 9 Pro install: FAILED.
At that point, I gave up installing Acrobat 9 Pro. I didn't have any more time to screw with it - I would re-visit the installation failure later.
Lo and behold, a client sent me a PDF file of a brochure, in an email, and I had to grab some text from it to put on his website (Done in Dreamweaver CS4.) Well, damn, now I'll have to go back and get that install to work...FAILED!
Suspecting a problem in the installation routine on the DVD, I decided to download the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro. So, I did. It downloaded and installed without a hiccup, and I had Acrobat 9 Pro working for 30 days...
I did what I had to do, using the trial version, then figured I would re-visit the installation issue later, when I had a few hours to dedicate to all the hell of calling Adobe software support, handholding, maybe registry edits, multiple reboots, and multiple attempts at doing everything again, just so the support person would know that I did follow all the steps correctly to prove thw outcome is sill FAILED!
Oh crap, I got another PDF file. No problem, I thought, I don't need to edit the PDF, just read it. When I tried to open the file, Acrobat 9 Pro plastered a screen over the program - the screen saying my 30 day trial version has now run out, demanded a serial number, or quit. My CS4 serial number would not activate it, and so I had to quit, not even being able to read the PDF file.
So, I un-installed the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro that had installed without a hitch and had worked flawlessly for 30 days.
Now I'm going to have to visit hell, and get the software that I paid hundreds of dollars for to work...
Please STOP and NOTE: Acrobat 9 Pro installed perfectly from the downloaded Internet version. What does that tell you? There are no operating system issues, no hardware compatibility issues (which I knew anyway, as the OS and hardware is up to date.) Even more significantly, there is no issue with the Windows registry, or other versions of Adobe Acrobat that had been installed before in the machine. My conclusion was that it has to be a problem with the installation routine on the CS4 disks.
So, I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe personnel: software support, to customer service, to sales, to customer service, and back to sales. After software support came to the conclusion that I needed to UNINSTALL ALL OF CS4, and run a clean-up utility, I knew I had to try getting a new set of DVDs and hope the installation routine problems/bugs had been worked out.
After being batted back and forth by Adobe Customer Service and Adobe Sales, I finally got someone to agree to send a set of DVDs to me.
I got the DVDs. I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: FAILED
As I told the software support person, I do not want to un-install the entire CS4 suite. I have all of those programs working fine, and have about a dozen web sites within Dreamweaver CS4 painstakingly set up and active, and some of them are current projects that I am working on daily. I also have multiple extensions installed, and spent quite a bit of time getting all of those programs set up for my preferences and my work flow. I DO NOT WANT to uninstall the entire suite of applications to get Acrobat 9 Pro to install.
And the conclusion of the "sophisticated" Adobe Support Advisor as to what specifically was the instalation issue?
Adobe Support Advisor
The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.
If you continue to have difficulties with the application,
please contact Adobe Support: http://www.adobe.com/support
System Information :
Operating System = Windows XP
Locale = en
At this point, what I want is to know what registry keys to edit and which folder(s) to delete to eliminate previous traces of Acrobat. In other words, just exactly the tiny piece of the "clean-up utility" that I need to run in order to allow the *Y#^%@#&#(& installation routine to work for Acrobat 9 Pro. I have no intention of uninstalling Dreamweaver CS4, as that is my business livlihood, and I know that my Dreamweaver CS4 client files/sites could not be read by earlier Dreamweaver versions. Asking me to uninstall Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, and Fireworks is insane. Your bad installation routine is not my fault, and you cannot expect me spend countless hours getting all those programs set up the way I want and with all my client/work files working correctly and all the extensions set up properly. So, if Adobe software support refuses to tell me what registry keys need to be changed, then I want Adobe Sales to send me a new, standalone version of Acrobat 9 Pro on disk.

I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version. For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running. I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

Can't install CS4 Design Premium on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit

Hi All,
I've been scouring forums, and trying suggested fixes to no avail. I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit on a brand new internal hard drive. I'm in the process of removing all my apps from Vista and reinstalling on this OS. Here's a breakdown on what I've done regarding CS4 Design Premium:
1) Deactivated the install from Vista.
2) Verified with Customer Support that my license key is available for install and activation.
3) Disabled User Account Control setting in Windows 7.
4) Tried installing from the discs, only to get the error: "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."
5) Reattempted installation, as I've read that sometimes a second attempt will work fine. No good.
6) Downloaded and ran the Win CS5 Cleanup Script (which has an add-on utility for CS3 and CS4) in order to get rid of trace registry files. This did its job successfully.
7) Found an official trial of CS4 Design Premium, which downloaded straight from Adobe's website. Tried installing that, as I've read that the trial can be successful over the discs. No good.
Does anyone have any other help they can offer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Jessica

It’s a head-scratcher. It appears that you took spsaxena’s advice and renamed the Config.Msi folder and then, during installation, a new new Config.Msi folder was created, but you weren’t allowed access to it?
You then “took ownership” of the new Config.Msi and still the install program stated it couldn’t write to a file in the folder? Was it able to write any “rbf” files in Config.Msi?
I’m on CS5 now, but I was running CS4 on an in-place upgrade to Windows 7, 64-bit — but I don’t recall that Apple supported CS4 installation on Window 7 That may be part of the problem.
It’s a long shot, but you could try setting the setup file to compatibility mode for Windows Vista 32-bit: right-click the executable, click the Compatibility tab, checkmark Run this program in compatibility mode for:, and select Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop-down list (or the others, you can play with them all). You can also check-mark Run this program as an administrator.

Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Possible or not upgrade PC version CS4 Design Premium to Apple Mac version

I have a big problem. Last year I bought a CS4 Design Premium package for the PC. However, I am switching systems to Apple (iMac) in a month and my CS4 for the PC won't work on an Apple Mac system. Buying new photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign is more expensive than I can afford. Is there a way to change or upgrade from PC to Mac? I hope anyone can help me.
Kind regards
Marjolein

Yes its called a Cross-Grade. You need to call Sales dept at Adobe There may or may not be some fee involved. Most software companies allow it. You may be asked to Destroy your PC Disk. Or
You and buy Parallels for your new Mac then install windows on the Parallels Partition (if you already have a Separate Windows install DVD). To get up and running if you don't have a packaged version (not OEM) of windows would be buy buy the cross Grade. If you have a Packaged version of Office laying around then buying Parallels for the Mac would be cheaper.

Cannot install CS4 Design Premium

I am having some trouble installing Adobe CS4 Design Premium. Every time I try to install, it says "Setup Error: Setup has encountered and error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for Assistance." I have tried this from the CD and after moving the files onto the hard drive. I tried calling Adobe Customer support and they told me to run a cleanup utility 'WinCS3Clean' and 'Windows installer Clean up Uninstall' after uninstalling Adobe CS3 Design Premium from the computer. After that, I tried running the setup again, from the CD and HDD, and I still get the same error. After this, I tried installing the latest Windows Installer (v 4.5) and it said it was not for my system. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. Any ideas?

Solved!
Okay I figured out what my problem was.
Adobe CS4 (or CS3 for that matter) would not install when I am syncing files to a server. This particuar offline files server is not accessable and is being replaced, but this comptuer was pointing it's My Pictures file to a location which was inaccessable. The solution was to dig into the registry and change the path of the My Pictures folder. Specifically speaking it was this...
Run Regedit and go to...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders
Change the My Pictures value to %USERPROFILE%\My Docuements\My Pictures

I downloaded CS4 Design Premium and asks for me to Insert Disk 1, but there is no Disk 1... HELP!

I had bought Adobe Design Premium CS4 and the disk was destroyed, so I found the download on Adobe and downloaded it. Then, instead of just executing the file I downloaded, I extracted it and burned it to DVD. When I ran the setup and selected what I wanted to install and it says, "Please insert Adobe CS4 Design Premium disk 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation."
I have a valid serial number because I logged into My Adobe and got it from my account.
Do I just need to name the DVD a certain name for it to work or do I need to download the file again and just run it from the massive file I download?

I just found the 2 original files I downloaded and ran the self-extracting app and it extracted everything to Adobe CS4\Design Premium\Adobe CS4 and when I ran Setup.exe, it worked fine. :-{)
Thanks for everyone's time in reading this post and thanks kglad, but I figured it out on my own.
