CS4 Master Collection will not install

This issue has not been resolved since 9/3. I have already called tech support and they concluded that the problem might arise from a corrupted disc, and sent me a set of replacement discs. This is not resolving the issue.
Has anyone ever had an issue where you double-click on a setup file and nothing happens (even in safe mode)?
A friend suggested dowloading the trial version, and then activate with my serial number. It was also suggested that the installation default directory doesn't have sufficient space. I have 500GB of free space total. Any truth to this?

The CC Cleaner Tool didn't do anything.  It said it didn't find anything.
I did troubleshoot the install log and found this:
Installation result: 1603

  • CS4 master Collection won't install on XP

    After paying the big bucks for this CS4 Master Collection software, I can't get it to install. I have 1.5 gig of ram, all slots full. Will it not install with that? The install won't let me install on a drive with 123 gig of free space, the install pop-up says there's not enough room please change location. I change it to another drive with 197 gig of open space and it won't install.
    Customer service is closed until Monday...I'll be back in class and don't get out until 8pm every frickin weekday.
    I'm working on a sony the runs 3.20 ghz with the 1.5 gig of RAM. I just reformated the harddrive but windows takes up the C: partition but the extention is 123 gig, and I have several other drives (with hundreds of gigs open) I've tried to put it on....it says they're too small.
    I've tried to install the trial version and it does the same thing. I'm at my wits end with this!
    If there's only one out there willing to help me I would really appreciate, because Adobe doesn't seem to give a fig about helping me.

    How much free space is on the C:/drive? Without a lot of room you'll have a hard time installing any program even if you install it to a different drive. Windows needs lots of free space on C: for installing applications.
    If you have little free space, then whoever set up that machine did a very poor job of it. There is no benefit at all to installing applications on a different drive than the operating system.

  • CS4 Master Collection Won't Install

    Alright...so I insert the Adobe CS4 Master Collection DVD (yes, the first disc) and the autorun comes up. I hit install and nothing happens. I see in the task manager that setup runs for anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes (tried this quite a few times) and then terminates. I wanna know what's going on. I've already searched the internet for answers as well as tried everything in the Adobe KB and every related topic here on the user-to-user forums. My specs are as follows:
    AMD Athlon X2 4200+ (2.2GHz/core)
    4gb DDR2 1066 RAM
    250gb SATA HDD
    Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
    Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit

    If you've gone through all of that, I can only offer one more thing to
    try before calling Adobe.
    Create a new user account and install it there. If that doesn't do it
    you're going to have to call Adobe for help...installation issues are
    handled free of charge.

  • Enabling Installation of CS3 and CS4 products that will not install on Windows 7 64Bit.

    Adobe installers are not known for their helpful or forgiving ways & I have more than once had to reinstall Windows when installation of CS3 and CS4 products has failed with patently inscrutable errors.
    The background to the current issue that I was attempting to install PS CS4 on a W7 system which already had CS CS3 installed. The CS4 installer threw up inscrutable messages indicating  that the installation could not proceed and to contact Adobe (they are joking right ? Their phone & web support is notoriously UN-helpful).
    After reading through threads suggesting that I uninstall CS3, apply CS3 and CS4 cleaning scripts I was in exactly same position I have found myself in on least 2 occasions with WinXP. By this time I couldn't event get CS CS3 to reinstall!
    Then I decided to review the event log and found a number of installer events thrown up by the Adobe installers resembling "Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\xxxxxxxx".
    I tracked down this very helpful solution which allowed me to change the registry permissions on the parent key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\ Components and propagate the new permissions down to the child keys.
    http://www.okino.com/conv/changing_windows_registry_permissions.htm.
    My advice is to follow instructions for "A More All-Encompassing Solution" and propagate the permissions right down to all the child keys as I could see a number of separate adobe installer errors in the event log. Also note the instruction to change the Owner from 'System' to 'Administrators' in Advanced settings. This is necessary in order for the Permissions change to be accepted and replace all the child object permissions.
    As with most registry changes good advice to backup your registry hive first (although I didn't; by this time I was already expecting to have to reinstall Windows) and restart your system after making the registry changes before attempting to install  / reinstall CS3 or CS4 products.
    Hope this solution works as well for others as it did for me as the Adobe support on this issue has been next to useless.
    [P.S. Q: Did you hear the joke about the guy who worked on product installation at Adobe rocking up at job interview with 'Adobe Installation Project Team' on his Resume? A: That that is the joke! If you wanted another job in installation development you would hardly admit to experience at Adobe ;)]

    John Joslin wrote:
    We don’t want people messing with the registry when they don’t need.
    My apologies John I didn't realize that I was addressing the official custodian of Photoshop.
    Incidentally my advice is intended for others in a similar situation who find themselves stalled during installation and otherwise contemplating a re-installation of Windows. I believe this would be obvious to most forum participants who had actually read my original post.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master collection is NOT installed completely

    Hi
    When I'm installing Adobe CS4, and after entering the serial no., and during the progress, it seems to be too slow, (that's good of course, it means it's installing  the programs), then in the progress of the Disk 2, and 3 and 4, it comes fast, and the finishing message is shown:
    that means that nothing was installed except AE, Cr, Br.....
    I did sa mentioned in the image but it didn't make sense..
    please I need help..

    If you have not activated yet, I'd remove the entire MC. Run the Adobe CleanScript for CS4
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    Then try to re-install with all virus protection and spyware turned off. If that fails, give Adobe tech support a call. They give free support for installation issues on current products.

  • CS4 Master Collection Install

    A little advice here. I would like to install CS4 Master Collection. I have never had any creative suites on my computer but I do have Premier Pro 2.0, Ultra 2, After Effects 6.0, Audition, Photoshop, Visual Communicator, etc. all purchased seperatly. I have all the files I want saved.
    Is it best to uninstall all of these programs before I install CS4? The computer is not connected to the internet and there is no virus protection because it has always run better that way.
    Thanks for your help.

    Peter,
    When I installed CS4 Design Premium with CS2 (including Acrobat 7) Premium already installed the installer said that Acrobat would be upgraded during the install process, previously (CS to CS2) it had said it would first remove Acrobat. But I assume it did actually remove 7 and install 9. The odd thing was it didnt require a reboot during the install which all previous changes involving Acrobat had.
    Art,
    If you are using the suite on an offline PC you may want to try and find out how usable/good the help will be. Adobe have moved to an online help system and I think only limited help files are offered if the PC is not online.

  • CS4 Master Collection install problem..

    I'm trying to install CS4 Master Collection but then it gives an error and says..
    CS4 Master Collection can only be installed with xp service pack 3 or vista service pack 1.
    i do have vista service pack 2 but CS4 Master Collection came out after service pack 2..
    how come it doesn't work? Does someone has a solution for this problem?
    thx in advance

    There is no Vista SP2 except in beta form which you certainly shouldn't
    have installed on a production machine.
    But I find the XP SP3 message odd since the requirement is SP2, though
    SP3 is recommended. SP2 shouldn't stop the install.

  • Problem with CS4 Master Collection Install

    Have tried repeatedly to install CS4 Master Collection on an HP laptop running Microsoft Vista to no avail. I have uninstalled all previous attempts to install, run cleaner, deleted temp file stuff, rebooted ad nauseum etc. Originally, I was receiving a 1603 error code for all major programs: Photoshop, AI, etc. Now, I get a set up error: "set up has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Support." At this point, I have spent days trying to resolve this problem. Please help.

  • 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:

  • Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

    Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

    Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
    Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
    Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

  • Replaced hard drive on my iMac running OSX 10.9.3 now CS4 Master Collection Not working. Receiving error message 150:30 - help.

    I have had to replace the hard drive on my iMac running OSX 10.9.3 and reloaded my CS4 Master Collection from Time Machine. I am receiving error message 150:30 saying License has stopped working what should I do?

    Unfortunately, you can't install Adobe applications by copying them from a backup, or using the Migration Assistant on a Mac. There are too many support files scattered throughout your drive which aren't moved to the correct location.
    First, you'll have to use Adobe's Cleaner Tool to remove all of the stuff you copied:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then reinstall CS4 Master Collection from your original discs, or a backup of the downloaded files. If you don't have either, you can download Creative Suite from this link:

  • CS4 Master Collection Activation issue

    I have installed CS4 master collection on my 2 PC's.
    The first of these was a new build PC using Vista Ultimate 64bit, I installed Vista and CS4 on a RAID 0 array comprising 3 Sata drives. CS4 was then activated on this machine as well as my other machine.
    After a couple of days the RAID array started showing errors, which I believe was down to the poor nVidia drivers / onboard controller.
    Anyway I reinstalled Vista & CS4 onto a single drive, when it came to activating CS4 however I get a message saying the serial no. has already been activated on 2 machines.
    Now Adobes FAQ states that CS4 will recognise a reinstall on the same machine, however I think that because I have gone from a RAID array to a single drive then CS4 will not be able to detect this as the data will have been spread over the 3 physical drives.
    I have contacted Adobe support and am waiting on a response, in the meantime is there something simple I have missed?

    The RAID problem was with CS2.
    The OP's issue is that he didn't deactivate before reinstalling. Only
    Adobe can help and there should be a phone number to call for activation
    assistance on the activation denial screen.

  • Installation of CS4 Master Collection Query

    Hello
    I intend to buy CS4 Master Collection to use on my home laptop for media work.
    The license agreement for Create Suite software states that users can install and use one copy of the software up to the permitted number of compatible computers as long as the user presents a valid serial number for each copy.
    The agreement also states that the primary user of the software can install the software at a work computer and a secondary home computer or portable computer, provided that the software on the home or portable computer is not used at the same time as the software on the primary computer.
    My question is  -  does this agreement enable me to install the CS4 Master Collection on my current laptop and any future laptop purchases should I be required to replace or upgrade my portable computer?
    Thanks in advance
    Alastair

    The spirit of the agreement is that you are the only user of the two concurrently activated computers and that you will only use one machine at a time. As for a future computer, there's a deactivation feature that allows you to move the activation to a new machine.
