CS4 Trial will not open

I have downloaded the InDesign CS4 trial from the Adobe website, and installed with no problem.
However it will not open. When I click the application I get the following error message:
'You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.'
I've checked the system requirements and sure I have what's needed.
I'm running OS 10.5.6 on a dual 2GHz Power PC G5 with 1.5Gb memory.
Any idea what's wrong?

In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

Windows CS4 files will not open on the Mac

How come Windows CS4 files will not open on the Mac version?

Where are you getting your info from as I have personally opened a Windows After Effects project on the Mac many times!
Anyway Adobe state they are cross platform so this is pretty missleading !
MCR, you asked in your previous post:
"Is that true of all CS4 project files like Premiere Pro and After Effects?"
I answered:
"No."
Which means After Effects and Premiere project files are cross-platform. But Encore projects are not cross-platform.
Is that clearer?
Regarding your last sentence, if you're referring to AE and PPro files, that is true. But it is not true of Encore project files.

OnLocation CS3 Trial will not open

I downloaded the 30 day trial of OnLocation CS3 from the Adobe Website v3.0.1101.0). It installed fine. When I launch it, the splash screen comes up and then the license screen comes up. When I hit ACCEPT, the license screen closes and then the splash screen vanishes. The program will not open. Any idease?
I have windows XP Pro SP2
AMD Athlon 64 FX57
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
4 gig Corsair TwinX PC3500
Dual Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX (SLI)
Soudblaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro

I'm not sure what's up with the CS3 trial, but since that version of the product is no longer available I recommend installing the CS4 trial (it's bundled with the Premiere Pro installer)

Elements trial will not open

I downloaded the Photoshop Elements trial version to test before I purchased. It appears on my computer, but it will not open. Help please! I am afraid to go buy the real version if I cannot get the test to work!

I downloaded it from the adobe website. Absolutely nothing happens when I try and open it- no error message or anything. I have "Windows 7 Professional" on my computer... what specs do you need? (I am not good at this stuff sorry!)

Lightroom 5 (trial) will not open

I am a Lightroom 3 user who is trying to migrate to a new Win8 computer. I initially tried to get LR3.6 on my new machine but had problems. As LR3 is not supported I've decided to upgrade. I downloaded LR5 onto my new machine using Firefox, went through the installation steps, and appear to have an installed version of LR5 (the shortcut is on my desktop and startup tiles). But when clicking or tapping or right-clicking to open it will not open. Just sits there.
I have already migrated my photo collection to the new machine, as well as my old 3.6 catalog. I found something about the catalog .lock file on another forum,which said that if that file is still present (it was, right there next to my catalog) LR won't open. I deleted the .lock file but it has not helped, LR5 is still inert. I've also tried re-starting after installing. Any ideas? Is there a setting I'm missing on Win8?
Thanks in advance.
Brad
PS I plan to buy once I get this working.

I reinstalled LR to the regular 32-bit program folder and it seems to have fixed it. I have finally been able to open it There seems to be an issue with the install of the 64-bit version. I ran the install aagain to try and repair the 64-bit version and it ran through fine but I was still unable to open it after that. I even DL some rec file for 64-bit version but it did not help.
Advice - install to your 32-bit program file until this is corrected....

Photoshop CS4 Extended will not open file from Bridge.

This is 2nd time this has occurred. Last time I uninstalled CS4 and re-installed to fix it. Prefer to not do that again.
System: XP Media center, SP3, 3 GB memory, Athlon 64x2. Generic - motherboard graphic card. 18 GB disk space remaining.
Typical work flow is edit DNG files in Lightroom. Once done, select DNG files in Bridge and under Tools run the Photoshop Image Processor which changes color profiles, sharpens and converts to JPEG and saves. Done this probably a thoudand times. Ran a batch Sunday afternoon fine.
I may have interrupted an Image Processor batch that was just starting and glitched something.
Now Bridge will open Photoshop but nothing gets imported with the Image Processor. Also Bridge will not run a Batch. Bridge will open Adobe Raw for editing a DNG but cannot load it into Photoshop.
Once I try any of these things, Photoshop will usually not close/exit and many menu items are shaded out. For example, opening a file or starting a new file is not available. Activate/Deactivate not accessible. Can Deactivate and Activate through InDesign. Photoshop seems OK otherwise if re-started after re-boot.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

So far, no good. Here is what I have done and current symptoms.
1) I backed up all the settings and workspace files, then deleted them. No change.
2) No matter what I do, everytime I hold down the control, alt and delete keys when starting PS CS4 all I get is the Windows start settings "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Properties" box where you can select "Target" and "Start In" paths. I do not get any dialog or confirmation to reset anything.
3) Bridge successfully reset preferences using the Control key while starting it up.
Everything about Bridge has appeared to function corectly before and after these changes. But when the Tools/Image Processor or Batch is called, it starts Photoshop OK but nothing in imported to be processed.
Photoshop opens (either from import or stand alone start) with menus partially functioning. Under the file tab, nothign important works. Cannot open a file, cannnot start a file, cannot exit - all grayed out. But keyboard shortcuts do work and I can open a file or start a new file using the shortcuts. Once I get a file open with the keyboard shortcut, most of the menu functions come back under the file tab and can be used and can exit PS. The "X" in the upper right corner to close the program still remains greyed out and not functional. The Activate/Deactivate options under Help remain grayed out.
4) I deactivated the Suite from within InDesign and the I uninstalled only PS using the Windows uninstall utility. I reinstalled PS from the CS4 Suite which of course reinstalled Bridge and some other utilities. I reactivated from within InDesign and ran all updates from within InDesign since updates were still grayed out in PS. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.)
Problems still exist as described.
5) Finally I deactivated again from within InDesign and re-installed the whole CS4 Suite without uninstalling anything before hand. I noticed that process did an uninstall before each module was re-installed.
Problems still exist as described above. I did notice that Photoshop showed itself still Activated (but grayed out) in the help menu even though I had previously deactivated the suite before the re-install. Ran complete Updates from within Bridge. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.) but continued on. Everything else updated OK.
I looked through the registry settings for the settings path as noted in referenced forum links and all looked correct.
Additional Notes: I installed the OnOne Plugin Suite 4 a few weeks ago. Everything has run smothly since then until this problem poped up. After the Uninstall/reinstall the OnOne menu option appears as normal. As do my old Nik plug ins. I doubt this has anything to do with the issue.
Any more ideas outside of starting all over on a clean drive/machine which I really dread even contemplating?
Thank you.

CS6 Trial will not open

Yep, you are both right! I never thought of having to update the processor as well as the oporating system Guess it's time to invest in a new mac...
Thanks so much!

Fireworks CS4 Trial Will Not Install

I have just downloaded both the .exe and .7z file for the Fireworks CS4 trial. I downloaded the files using Firefox 3.5 on Windows XP. When I hit launch in Akamai, nothing happens. If I double click the .exe file in Windows Explorer, the command propmt opens and then quickly shuts and nothing else happens. I have 7-zip and Winzip and neither can extract the files from the .7z.
I'm not 100% certain I have administrator rights on this computer, but I routinely install and update software and it has never been a problem in the past.
Any help?

If you cannot extract the files, maybe the download did not went well, and file was only partially downloaded? Maybe you shoud try to download it again?
You also must have administrator rights to install software on your machine, no matter if you use XP or Vista/7.

Bridge is not tied to any restrictions in terms of activation or requiring specific components to be in place, hence it almost always works. Do you correctly run the install with administrative privileges?

Captivate File Created with Trial Will Not Open in Paid for Captivate

I have a file created by Trial version of captivate. It was created in a different computer. Now, I have to make some modification in the file. However, when I tried to open it with Captivate 5.5, I got the error shown below. I am not able to use the popular solution provided in this link Click here to view because the file was not created in my computer. I believe that there is a lock on the file since it was created with Trial version of captivate. Is it possible that I send the file to a representative, and they look into it?

Was the file created with the same version? You talk about 'trial', but the only trial version available at this moment is Captivate 8. You were never able to open a Captivate project in a previous version, that explains why you cannot open it in 5.5.

Photoshop CS5 trial will not open - "illegal seek" message

I have Mac OS X 10.7.3 installed. The Adobe Download Assistant is stuck in extracting mode, which I can't seem to get rid of even after deleting the Adobe Download Assistant dmg and reinstalling it. Since I was not able to open the Photoshop CS5 dmg (I received the illegal seek message), I deleted it. I have tried redownloading the Adobe Download Assistant, but I can't seem to get it out of its extracting state. What do I do? I have tried 2 different internet connections also... since I saw that was recommended on someone else's post that had the same issue.
Thanks

Photoshop CS4 Trial Will not start. Error message will pop up saying ...

"Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
-CS4 Photoshop
-Vista Home Premium
-HP
I've been at this for days, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, clean scripted, everything i could think of. I have no luck with anything! What is strange is that Bridge will still work, but just Photoshop alone won't.
If anyone could help .. in anyway at all, it would be greatly appreciated!
