CS4 Installation problems - live messenger
Hello,
I am trying to install CS4 Web Premium Student Edition on a Windows 7 machine.
The installation keeps continually failing because the installer reports that Windows Live Messenger is running and I need to close it before I can continue.Despite closing this application using Windows Task Manager am still receiving this alert and hence can't get any further and so have to abort the installation.
Any help to resolve this would be seriously appreciated!
I'm having similar problems. Clean install of CS4 Design Premium on a new Windows 7, 64-bit computer with plenty of space. Setup runs, takes my product key, then after a while reports that some products will not install and list virtually the entire suite. Using CS4 clean up script and trying again results in the same problem. Numerous phone calls have demonstrated the futility of hoping for technical support from the call center (India?).
Don't know what to do next. Advice appreciated.

CS4 Installation Problem on Mac - Error 2
I have tried for several hours to make the new install of Adobe CS4 work. The Lightroom2 install worked fine. Background: I have a macbook pro, OS/X 10.5.7, enough avail disk space. I had a trial version of LR2 and full CS2. I have done the following: checked "repair permissions" - an OS/X utility that interfered with operating Capture NX a couple years ago, so I added that step. I have uninstalled every Adobe application, using Clean Script 3 and Clean Script 4. I have tried to install CS4 in a separate user account, which has since been deleted, and again both Clean Scripts have been run. I have restarted my computer and downloaded a fresh version of CS4. I have tired to install it as a Tial version instead of an upgrade, also. It NEARLY installs, but at the very end of the install bar, after Bridge and before finishing Photoshop installation, I get a big red X and an error and find it is Error 2. The Adobe support pdf's have not helped, including those referenced by their little support bot.
Have spent a couple hours with Adobe Support, also. No one knows what Error 2 means.
Also, the "support" person closed my case as though it had been resolved - said he would call me back in one hour and 2ours 45 minutes later had not called back. He CLOSED the case, wasting my time and lying to me.I have just committed the cardinal sin of allowing my daughter to install Adobe CS4 Web Premium on my new Mac Pro 2.26 8 Core.
I use this computer for pro music composition, and until I allowed my daughter to talk me into letting her use it for Adobe Web Premium (24" Apple screen, she has a PC laptop), it was strictly a no fly zone.
My worst fears were realized.
Neither she, nor I, can't get a clean install. Each attempt is greeted by a 'Successful but with Errors' or some such garbage. I have submitted a support requerst but have had no reply.
The new Mac died. Apple replaced it with a new computer under Applecare Warranty, and a new hard disk, but still the problem remains.
I've tried a new partition; nope.
I get the folling error codes:

I tried to download the Adobe Support Advisor, but it would not download. I have erased the registration, followed the instructions to the letter.
Nothing.
Adobe help in Australia were polite but did not resolve the problem. I called again and was greeted by a call centre somewhere in the Third World by someone who knew less about computers that they did about Adobe products. This poor person probably has a good job within his impoverished community, but undoubtedly paid a pittance (or why would Adobe set up a Call Centre in India), which make s it really hard to vent my frustrations without appearing racist.
I am attempting to take over the problem as there is no way a seventeen year old girl could negotiate this. I can't.
Has anybody any clues?
Appreciate any help. I can't access my daughter's email which the product is registered through at Adobe, as it is on her school computer which is connected through the school server, but my email is [email protected].
Appreciate any help. Or the contact details of a good hit-man.

Hello everyone,
I hope you may be able to help me! I bought a copy of Creative Suite 4 Student Edition yesterday, and on attempting to install it today, my mac will not even register there is a disc in the drive. I have recently upgraded my mac to snow leopard, and I see from the Adobe site that there shouldn't be any problems. It just seems odd that my mac isn't even picking up anything from the disc, it makes a couple of unhealthy noises then ejects them.
Can anyone help? I apologise if that doesn't make sense, I'm quite new to this...I am having the same problem. I installed Snow Leopard. Right after, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and other programs stopped working, gave an error message when I tried opening them and said I needed to reinstall the programs. So, I went through the "adobe uninstall" procedures as well as the script uninstall they offer on the adobe website.
After doing this, I inserted the Adobe CS4 Master Install discs and they just spun and spun. Finally mine showed the icon, but when I clicked for it to install, it just spun and spun and never opened the installer. I tried it for about and hour.
My friend has the Adobe CS4 Web edition, so I tried his thinking mine might be bad or had a scratch somehow. But, his did the same. I am really in a mess right now because I use all of these program for my web design business and now I have nothing and have three projects due this week. ARRGGHHHH!!!!! I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance. -
CS4 installation problems...novice
Hi, all. I just purchased a student edition of Photoshop CS4 to begin using for a Photoshop class. As luck would have it I'm unable to install it after downloading the installer with the following error message: Installation failed. One or more required components of Adobe Photoshop CS4 failed to install correctly.
After installing the Support Advisor, it came up with the following message: Issue no: 18312. Unable to copy a file onto the machine when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product. After accessing the provided Knowledge Base link, I followed their directions by uninstalling Photoshop and running some sort of cleanup utility which didn't seem to do anything. I've repeated this about four or five times.
If anyone can offer some advice I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm pretty much at a loss as to how to solve this. Also I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8, if that helps.
Thanks in advance!I'm having similar problems. Clean install of CS4 Design Premium on a new Windows 7, 64-bit computer with plenty of space.

Soundbooth CS4 Installation Problem
I recently purchased a copy of Soundbooth CS4, which I just tried to install. When I loaded the disc and the installation screen came up, I clicked on the install Aodbe Soundbooth button and waited several minutes and nothing happened. I checked the Task Manager and the setup process was indeed running.
I ended the process and tried to run the setup several times manually by going to the Start up menu ... choosing run and navigating to Setup.exe from the disc and still the same problem.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition ... Service Pack 3. Please help!!! I need to use this software on a project right away.Well, there's a few things we can check that might help figure out where it's failing.
If you open Windows Explorer/My Computer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\ then you should hopefully see at least one, possibly several, compressed log files named something like "Adobe Soundbooth CS4 2 07-08-2009.log.gz"
If you do see one, please e-mail it as an attachment to [email protected] and I'll see if I can find any obvious reason for the failure. We can continue troubleshooting from there.

Photoshop cs4 installation problems
hi im having big problems getting Photoshop on and off of my mac book iv tried to uninstall it (i did it complete wrong by dragging and dropping it in to the trash i now know that’s not the way) iv put a post on the mac web site and was told to do this,
"You won't be able to install CS4 until is is properly uninstalled. In the Utilities folder, you'll find the folder "Adobe Installers". There will be an alias in there named per the Adobe software you installed. Double click that to launch it and start the uninstall process. You'll get a list of software you can put check boxes in to remove from the hard drive. There's also a Select All button at the top.
This may or may not work since you already manually removed some of the items the uninstaller will be looking for. If it appears to finish, then try installing PS CS4 again.
The blunt approach is to use Adobe's Clean Script tool. This will remove anything to do with any piece of CS4 files from the hard drive. You will definitely be able to reinstall after running it. Be aware though that it will remove ALL CS4 software on the hard drive. InDesign, Flash Pro, Photoshop, etc. You don't get to pick and choose."
non of this worked and when i put the disk in it brings up the setup program but wont accept the serial number and when i try to install the trial version it asks for the disk to be inserted which is all ready in the disk tray iv got no idea what to do can any one help me pleaseany one ????

When i install the trial for photoshop cs4, i get this message: "Session has dependencies that cannot be satisfied. The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media."
I'm using Vista and have all the system requirements. I've even download it off another site and uninstalled Photoshop CS2 but it still doesn't work. Any help will be greatly appreciated!Use the CS4 Clean Utility from the support pages. Furthermore, since it will give you the MS Installer Cleanup Utility, you need to use that tool to unregister any instances of Adobe Setup 2.0. Once that's done, try again. If it still doesn't work, repeat the cleaning and manually delete a file called caps.db in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps. be warned, though, this will disable any uninstall functionality for Adobe programs and will also disable the automatic updates - with the database gone, there is no frame of reference.

Dreamweaver CS4 installation problem (hang)
Hi guys,
I have tried to install DW CS4 or CS3 by doing all the different steps suggested:
- firewall and antivirus stopped,
- editing ContainerProxy.js,
- registry cleaning,
- uninstall all Adobe products,
- run Setup from ...\Adobe\Installers\435a6af7459cb02a9c1138113a26e93 for the CS3 version,
- run it with several windows installer version,
- using the CS3 and the CS4 cleaner, etc.
But the setup process always hangs in the task manager forever (the CS3 version consuming 10MB RAM and the CS3 with 30MB).
For the CS4 version neither the temp installer folder is created.
Any other desperated action, please?
Thanks in advance.

Photoshop CS4 installation problem
I have bought CS4 and installed it successfully. I now have the upgrade disc to CS4 extended (bought from Adobe). When I run the disc, it offers to install CS4 NOT extended. When i install...i have the basic program ...not extended. Why?. I tried uninstalling the original version and re-installing from the disc...original version still on my computer.
I uninstalled, re-installed a trial version of cs4 extended from the web..it would only acccept the serial number from CS4 and NOT my extended box...
I cannot seem to get extended onto my computer! any ideas?The old version must be deactivated and uninstalled. Extended features are solely differentiated by the serial. If your PS Standard is part of a suite, then the whole suite must be upgraded, e.g. Design Standard to Design Premium, not just Photoshop. Only one serial can be valid at any one time, so there is no such thing as having a suite and a separate PS extended on the same system.

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?

Webcam problems using Messenger Live
I've just purchased a new S10-2 running Windows 7. When I've come to use the webcam to talk to my son using Windows Live Messenger I find that messenger displays my webcam video OK, however my son can't see or hear anything. The volume on the mic is turned up to full. His picture shows a pic of a webcam with a red cross through it, no video although I can hear him talking. I know his webcam is working, if I boot up my desktop everything is OK we can both get sound and video.
Anyone any ideas how to get this up and runningI have similar problems on an intermittent basis,
which I have always attributed to poor or inconsistent internet
band-width. Is your desktop wired and S10 using wireless?
If so, try your S10 with wired internet.
Or perhaps try a different way.
I've had better experiences using Skype,
Your son will need to load it too, of course
