CS4 Fatal error at Installation!!

Hi,
i recently purchased the Design Premium student edition for windows and upon installing it,
i receive an installation error on the first cd due to Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, as i continue installation too the 2nd cd i receive a fatal error at installation due to the programs. It also states that i do not have an up to date service pack when i am running Windows vista business on Service pack 2!
Help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks.

Well after 3 weeks waiting for technical support to ring, they finally did and they told me to remove all files in 'temp files' folder, i also had to remove previous files in 'common files' folder such as Illustrator CS3 in my case and then make a new account on Vista that had administrator privledges and installed it through that account. I also stopped all running software, when in the installation i received the Service Pack notification that it wasn't the relevant pack but kept on going and ended up working fine!
If you cant do it yourself, and have an open case over Adobe site, then i suggest ringing the receptionist of local Adobe office and tell them that you've been waiting for weeks and want them to ring you ASAP (sound serious). Give them phone and case details and tech support should ring that day. It worked for me!
Good luck and hope it works!

  • Fatal error during installation - Error 1603 ONLY on XP

    My Dears,
    while installing any CS3 or CS4 Adobe product for my friend, at ~90% of installation error comes up:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Error:
    Error 1603. Fatal error during installation."
    I am struggling to solve it for 3 days now, and of corse I have seen and tryied all things proposed in posts like this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/373577 , but still nothing helps me.
    Thats list of all things that I have tryied to do:
    - CleanUp fix
    - Uninstalling all Adobe before fix
    - Turning Internet off fix
    - Turning anti-vir things off fix
    - Registery fix
    - Starting from CLEAN new system fix
    - Changing language from US to International fix
    Still nothing. Probably thats the point of problem:
    Current Situation:
    Got ACER ASPIRE x3200 desktop width Windows Vista (preinstalled), did clean installation of Windows XP and dumped Vista
    There is no official drivers for XP, but got cracked chipset driver and official nVidia 8200 driver for XP from Internet
    Got all Service Packs
    100% legal
    If nothing is working, maybe thats becaouse of my PC?! Installed it on my laptop with Vista 32b - WORKS (it means that installation CD is not corruptet or something). But then I have tryied to install it on another laptop with XP PRO - fail as with my PC. It seems that Windows XP Pro is not good for CS3 or CS4, BUT it did months before in my old unbranded PC.
    Help! I really want to install that stuff.

    I was only speaking very generally...  This is all common sense...
    Adobe and other software makers are moving on from XP in their development.  Thus XP becomes more and more troublesome to use as the likelihood of problems increases.
    In the case of installation, a lot of very specific things are required of an installer so that it can work on Windows 7.  The User Account Control (UAC) system and other security measures such as file permissions have to be completely and properly satisfied to install software on the newer systems.  Indeed, the application itself even has to work differently to be compliant - reference the recent 12.0.2 issues with loading scanner drivers for example, or the fact that Photoshop needs to put some things under C:\Users\... now that always used to be put under C:\Program Files\Adobe\...
    It's not hard to imagine that Adobe isn't testing software as thoroughly on XP as they once did either.  Perhaps they missed one of the quirks of XP in pursuit of getting it to install properly on Windows 7.
    You're putting a new cutting edge software application on an operating system designed nearly 10 years ago (an epoch in high tech).  That you don't see even more problems is a testament to Adobe's committment to support XP.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS3: Fatal error during installation

    Hello,
    I just bought the AI CS3. It installed OK on my friend's laptop (windows). However, when I clicked the big button in the installation:
    "Install Adobe Illustrator CS3"
    A window showed:
    Initializing Adobe Illustrator...
    Then I got a message:
    "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer Support for assistance. Fatal error during installation".
    I've tried several times. My computer meets all the requirements (it's a really new and faster PC). And there's no old versions of AI on it yet.
    Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

    Do you have any other Adobe products on your computer? When I installed CS3 on my Mac, I kept getting failures. After contacting Adobe, they told me I had to delete ALL other Adobe products -- including Flash and Adobe Reader. Plus, I had to do searches and delete any support files associated with them. It took hours!

  • Fatal error during installation

    I have been attempting to update my version of Boot Camp from 2.1 to 2.2. I have tried on numerous occasions with Apple Software Update but it never installs when the computer restarts. I have Vista 32bit installed on the partition. I tried to update with my Snow Leopard disk to 3.0 but it says the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. It also does this with my Leopard disk. As a last resort I tried to repair the Boot Camp Services from the Windows Vista control panel and I get Fatal Error During Installation. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Since you only give one of error log and the Error 0x80070643 code is a common error, we need more information to diagnose the problem. Before you collect the logs, you should follow up these steps to install Visual Studio:
    1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
    http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
    After download you should use File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify the integrity of your download. If the values don't match, your download may be corrupted and you should download the file again:
    Refer to the below page to know checksum detailed number:
    http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx#
    Refer to
    Download the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to know how to check the checksum hash value.
    2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
    3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.
    Look the links to get more information:

    If that still cannot go on the VS installation, please use

  • Photoshop CS4:Fatal error

    This pops up when I open my Photoshop CS4:
    Fatal error - missing component: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework.
    Any ideas on what i can do? happens when I open a project.
    Thanks

    Ok, after reading tons of threads trying to get a simple answer here are the main points:
    You do not need to reinstall anything.
    Locate a backup , Time Machine or anyplace where you may have a backup of your Adobe Suite Install.
    In both Locations( Hard Drive and Backup) Navigate to: Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Version Cue CS4 > Client
    Once there you will see your problem Adobe is looking for  folder named 4.0.0 and you have 4.0.1
    Fix: Find the backup and copy over folder named "4.0.0" , Problem solved!
    Open up Adobe Photoshop CS4 and problem should be fixed.
    Observations:
    Upon inspecting folder 4.0.1, I did notice there were exactly 5 (.framework) files just like in folder 4.0.0 with the exception of 4.0.0 having a "Dictionaries" folder. where 4.0.1 has this folder missing. I am not sure how important this particular folder may be, However if by any chance you do not have a backup It might be possible to just change the 4.0.1 folders name to 4.0.0. and this just might work, In theory that is . Good Luck!

  • "problem with shortcut/fatal error during installation" on other user accts

    I-tunes installed and works with no problem in original user, but when another user account attempts to open Itunes, program attempts to install/configure again, then results in a "problem with shortcut / fatal error during installation" message. Setting the other users to administrators doesn't help, nor does un-installing/re-installing, etc. I am at least the 4th person with this problem (see Burthomp earlier today,Jan. 17 and Richard 1018 on Dec. 29). This problem started with Itunes 7.5, and is still a problem on Itunes 7.6. I have a standard Dell setup, Model E510. There must be a lot of people with this problem. Apple, are you working on this? Anyone else have a suggestion?

    I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
    If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".
    Here is how I corrected it:
    1) Shut down the computer and restart it in "safe mode". I had to look up how to do this, but I pressed F8 when it was restarting and I highlighted the "safe mode" and started the machine. The icons will be large, but ignore it.
    2) Open a user that has administrative access -- I used the one user that has access to itunes.
    3) Go to My Computer\Local Disk (C:) and right click on the "Program Files" folder. Select "properties" at the bottom.
    4) Go to the Security Tab
    5) At the top you should see one or two users that have access to the Programs File. One will be the user that itunes works on. Click Add, then click Advanced, then click Find Now.
    6) At the bottom should appear a list of users. Select a user on which itunes doesn't work. Click Ok, then click OK again.
    7) Give that user full access to the Program File by putting a check mark in the Full Access box.
    8) Repeat for the remaining users.
    9) Restart computer in normal mode.
    10) Go into a user that had problems and click the itunes icon, and it should run.
    It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

  • Itunes 7.6 installation Fatal Error during installation

    I successfully installed Itunes into my account - as the administrator. However, my other computer users users can't install the new version.

    Try first going through this article to remove iTunes and Quicktime completely (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698).
    After you remove everything, don't re-install yet. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301). After insalling that, remove any references of iTunes, Apple, or Quicktime in the list.
    Try re-installing now.

  • PhotoSmart C6280 - Fatal Error During Installation

    I have Win 7 (64 bit) system and cannot install software for my C6280 All-In-One Printer.  I keep getting a "Fatal Error During Installation" message and then the software tries to uninstall.  During this process a reboot is required and then the software tries to install again and then fails.  I'm in a never ending circle of install-uninstall-install-uninstall........
    How do I get out of this?  I want to completely uninstall all software associated with this printer and then start from the beginning.
    The issue that brought about this situation was that I was getting the following message at bootup time:
              "There was a problem starting C:\users\Myron\AppData\Local\IsolatedStorage\HP\zelqof.dll
               The specified module could not be found."
    I am assuming that the missing module would get installed if I re-install all of the associated software with the printer as this is the ONLY printer connected (USB) to this PC.
    This question was solved.

    Hello BigDog5280,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with a looping uninstall/reinstall of the software and drivers.
    If you have Norton 360 installed, please disable it and reboot the computer.  When the computer is back on, attempt to reinstall with Norton 360 still disabled.
    Here is a link to a document that deals with a Fatal Error 'Error 1603. A fatal error occurred during installation' (MSI Error 1603) Displays Durin...

  • VS 2015 - Fatal error during installation - Cannot read key

    I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2015 Preview from the ISO image. I get this error
    Visual Studio Core Features
    Fatal error during installation
    Here are the relevant parts of the log file
    http://privatepaste.com/d2f0080766
    Trying to fix the permissions to the mentioned key (which I have done maybe ten times by now) only gives me a new error with a new key. Is there a better solution?
    Windows 8.1

    I downloaded the
    Visual Studio 2015 Preview ISO Image in English onto Windows 7 PC. I didn't have an optical disk large enough to copy it to in order to install VS 2015 preview using ISO from optical disk drive.
    So I used 7Zip to extract the files from the ISO into a folder on my desktop and then install it. There was no key needed as this is a preview version. So I was never asked about any key. Although it must've had a key that came with it because
    after it installed I went to Help, Register Product and was advised after a bit that it updated with a key I suppose, even though it was already working, and the product was good for so many days.
    Microsoft recommends the following for extracting files from an ISO in order to install the software without using an optical disk. I used 7Zip which is not recommended by MS.
    The following tools offer .ISO file support:        
    IsoBuster
    CDmage
    Daemon Tools
    Winrar
    Also note: "Visual Studio 2015 Preview cannot be installed on a computer that has a previous version of Visual Studio "14" CTP installed. To install this release version, you must first
    uninstall any currently installed CTP."
    And I had installed .Net Framework 4.6 preview prior to installing VS 2015 preview.
