Dreamweaver CS4 critical installation error

I have upgraded to a new PC (running windows 8.1) and when I run the Dreamweaver CS4 installer I get "Critical errors were found in setup".  I don't have any other CS4 products on my PC. What should I do?

This seems to be the default answer to all Adobe installations problems. I did try the CC cleaner tool but:
1. It says uninstall Creative Suite Applications.  I don't have any CS applications installed.  I have Illustrator 10 and Adobe Acrobat Pro installed but they don't say anything about being CS applications.  Also why should I have to uninstall other Adobe products to install Dreamweaver?
2. It doesn't mention Windows 8 anywhere.
3. It didn't show any products to remove.
4. The log file it mentions doesn't exist.
5. Why can't I talk to an Adobe support engineer?  I'm sure a quick screen share session would sort out the problem.
All in all, a bit of a waste of time.

  • Cannot Install Dreamweaver. Adobe Installer Error Code: 87

    I just purchased my Creative Cloud membership. When I go to install Dreamweaver, an Adobe Installer error box pops up saying,
    "We've encountered the following issues: Another installer is currently running, which must be closed before installing this product. Please close other installers. (Error code: 87)."
    However, I don't have any other installations running. Please let me know if anyone knows something that may resolve the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Trial : Installation Assistance : Help!

    Hi there.
    I downloaded Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 30 days trial version. While downloading it says it contains two files .7z and .exe but i have received only .7z file, .exe file seems to be missing.
    It gives me various installation Errors while trying to install this by unzipping all files in to directory of dowload  and running setup.exe on
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional v 5.1 build 2600 ( I guess this is the initial release and first build of Professional version.)
    This is a legimated authentic copy but not SP1, SP2 or SP3.
    I am trying to cousult MS support as well, as I could not find any upgrades for our OS.
    Any  Installation help will be appreciated.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 for Mac error

    Dreamweaver CS4 running on a Mac was working fine. Then one day I got 2 messages and the app will not run, it shutsdown. Does anyone know how to fix it? These are the messages I get and in the order I get them.
    This first one is:
    XML parsing fatal error: Invalid document structure,line: 1, file: /Users/mynameishere/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/Configuration/Workspace/Designer.xml
    The second one is:
    The following panel layout is missing or could not be read:
    Macintosh
    HD:Users:mynameishere:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS4:en_US:Configuration:Workspace:Designer.xml
    The Application will not have correct layout. Please load one from Windows ->Workspace.
    I click OK after both, then Dreamweaver unexpectedly quits. Any ideas how to fix?

    Locate your personal configuration folder (instructions are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494812). Either delete the folder or rename it to Configuration_old.
    When you start Dreamweaver again, it should generate a new configuration folder with the default settings.

  • DreamWeaver CS4 trial installation fails

    I've got a GoLive9 full Version from my provider which I
    could not install.
    So I downloaded the german Dreamweaver CS4 Trial. I deleted
    everything on my drives AND registry looking bit like
    "dreamweaver"and "golive". Did use utilities and searched by hand.
    I started the setup.exe from the download. Unzipping seemed to
    work. I found the folder on the desktop (731 MB (766.547.466 Bytes)
    // (19.569 Files / 158 folders). The istallation started
    automaticly. After that the behavior is exactly the same for
    GoLive9 and CS4: Setup starts "initialisation", comes to about 90%.
    For a very short time a screen pops up (I cannot catch it, even
    with a CamCorder in front of the sceen) and the installation
    freezes. I have to kill the process manually.
    None of the other posts here fits to this problem. Anything I
    can check or information I could give (log-files if existing ?)

  • Premiere CS4 Trial installation error

    Hello,
    Whenever I try to install the Premiere CS4 trial on Vista Ultimate I get an error dialog at the Loading Setup window that says critical errors were found in setup please see the setup log file for details. Then the installer exits after hitting OK. Any ideas where this setup log resides so I can try to figure out what the problem is?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    O.K. I found the error log and following are some excerpts from the log that mention errors. It does not help me at all. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

  • How do I re-register my Dreamweaver CS4 after receiving Error 150:30 message?

    I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS X 8.5 (Mountain Lion). This happened after my hard drive was erased during repair, and I had to install everything from Time Machine.

    Before doing an installation from disks, remove all traces of CS4 from your system with Adobe's CS Cleaner tools.

  • CS4, photoshop, installation errors

    I am running OS 10.7.5 and using CS4. My photoshop started crashing so I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it keeps giving me an error. I heard that there are problems with OS 10.7 and installing software, is there an updated driver I can install to get my Photoshop back up and running?

    Most importantly: What error is it exactly giving? also did you trash the prefs?

  • Installation Error: Cannot Install Photoshop

    I get the following error when I attempt to install Adobe Photoshop CS4.
    Installation Error
    Installation of the following products has failed:
    Adobe Bridge CS4
    Adobe Photoshop CS4
    To continue installing the remaining options, click continue.
    To cancel this installation, click cancel.
    I can't figure out why it won't let me install it.
    My 32 bit box is running Vista Home Premium with 2 gig of ram and and a dual core processor, at 1.7 GHz each. I also am having trouble with Dreamweaver. I installed it but it gives me an error stating 'Licensing for this product has stopped working'. Error: 147:20. How do I fix that? I'm just trying to install the trial...

    Okay I got it to install but I am getting this message about not having having VersionCue.DLL installed. I don't have it in the directory it's specifying, but I can't seem to find it online either. If can run my adobe programs just fine, but when I try to go to like my ITunes or My Downloads, it gives me this message.
    Any ideas how I can fix it? I really don't want to uninstall everything. I have already done that so many times. I read an article written by Adobe that said essentially they don't know what the crap is goin on. Which I found real reassuring.
