Error 2 when installing Fireworks CS4 Trial?

Hey, I keep getting the Error: Error 2 when ever I try to install Fireworks CS4 Trial, downloaded from Adobe.
Installing: Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Exstention Manager CS4
After its pretty much done, it say's finished but with Error's, hit view info, and I keep getting Error 2.
Tried dowloading the trial from other sites, and that still doesnt work.
All my Adobe products of CS3 have been uninstalled.
Problem help?

Fixed it!  Yay
I've got to say - I owe it all to a guy called Justducky on macosx.com.  Still, here's the story.  After search around I found his post about a similar problem with Dreamweaver.  He dug, and delved and worked on permissions etc but nothing worked.
Finally he got down to the solution:
Uninstall everything Adobe.  I mean everything.  AIR, flashplayers if you can.  Everything.  Delete .plist and .pref files that have adobe in the name (carefully).
Create a new account that has admin privileges (not convinced this was necessary but don't know Macs enough to confirm)
Safe Boot and log into the new account
Install Fireworks.
And there you go, it works.  Simple eh?  As an extra precaution when installing Fireworks I only did the bear minimum.  I didn't install Air, Media Player, Bridge etc.  I have done now and they work.
You can read the full account of JustDucky's journey here
Hope this works for you too!

    Here is a full technote when having problems with Fireworks on Windows XPPro,...  see if there is something there that helps.
    Also make sure that you also install the FWs updater:

  • No Internet conectivity/clock error when installing FB4.7 (trial)

    I follow these steps:
    Install as trial-> (License) Accept -> Sign In Required (Click Sign In) [here I get the error: "Please connect to the Internet and retry: Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly"]
    I've tried the "Connect Later" option that continues the installation procedure until the end, but when I try to open FB4.7 I get stuck at exactly the same point; it asks me to sign in and I get the same conectivity error.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Srikishan,
    Thanks for your fast answer.
    I installed MaxDB DMB GUI from the directory:  \NWABAPTRIAL70206_64\MAXDBTOOLS
    and logged in with username u201Ccontrolu201D and used the password I gave in the installation.
    This was new for me and I learned something new about database management. Thank you for that.
    I solved the error but it was just a really stupid mistake from me.
    A friend told me once that when installing Netweaver I have to put the date in the future so that the license wonu2019t expire . So before I installed Netweaver I set the date to 2099.
    That was the problem, when I didnu2019t do that then there was no error message.
    Again thanks for helping.

  • Error when installing Adobe XI Trial

    Hello,
    I get "The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem.  The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid.  Please contact the application author." error when I try to install Adobe XI.
    How can I fix this? My windows 7 computer has Illustrator C6, InDesign C6, Media Encoder C6, Extension Manager CS6, ExtendScript Toolkit CS6, Creative Cloud, Content Viewer, and Bridge CS6 Adobe products on it, if this info helps.

    If by "Adobe XI" you mean Acrobat, I suggest that you ask in the Acrobat forum.

  • Error When Installing InDesign CS3 - Trial

    Hello,
    I am on a Compaq PC with vista.
    Yesterday I downloaded the trial version of InDesign and tried to install it. It only installed the "shared components" and I got a failure message for everything else. I called tech support - which didn't go very well. They just said I should purchase the software.....(which I would love to do after I make sure it works and is what I need.
    I installed successfully the trial version on my husbands computer today -- and ideas on why it won't install on my brand new computer...
    Thanks for your wisdom!!

    The InDesign Windows-forum would probably be a better place for Your question, this forum is dedicated to InDesign Scripting-matters.

  • 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.

  • Can't open Fireworks CS4 Trial on Mac

    Hi,
    I just donwload the Fireworks CS4 Trial and install it with no problems.

  • Problems Installing Fireworks CS4 - OS 10.5.6

    Hi All,
    Recently downloaded the Fireworks CS4 trial for my imac running 10.5.6.
    Downloads fine, but hangs on the 'preparing to install' screen.
    This is killing me, please help!!!
    Thx in advance.
    Rich

    Sigh, I keep thinking I've found a solution, but no luck... First off, note this thread is specifically asking about a problem with Mac OS 10.5.6, so all Window solutions might be better found on a thread that's not supposed to be directed to a specific Mac problem. Second, I just wanted to state I'm having an identical issue, and I've tried every uninstall / cleanup script / reinstall method I could find on Adobe Support (many support pages referenced in these boards), and not one has worked. I'm so frustrated that Adobe locks down their software in such a complicated way that it results in so many PAID CUSTOMERS not being able to use the software they paid Adobe good money for, and also results in us losing countly hours attempting to fix the problem(s). And sadly, when I do searches to fix my problems, I find see tons of results for cracked versions of this software, and I can't help but wonder if I would have fewer issues running the cracked software than I paid so much for.
    Can you tell I'm frustrated? Thanks for letting me vent. I've contacted Adobe support, if they are able to help me, I will post the solution here. And if they want to charge me for the support, boy will I be peeved!

  • Problems installing the CS4 trial

    So I am trying to install the cs4 trial. It downloaded ok, but when it comes to the installation I am having a problem.
    When it starts extracting the files, it will extract up until about 85-90% and then it stops and gives me an error message saying something along the lines of:
    Extraction could not be completed due to insuffient space or incorrect privelages in the destination folder'
    I have tried right clicking and running as the administrator but I get the same message.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. thanks.
    Oh, and I use Vista. Thanks x

    Make sure you have enough free space in your Temp directory which should be C:/Users/Kate/AppData/Roaming. For install, about 2 GB are needed temporarily plus of course the actual disk space for the program...

  • TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Error 2 installing Illustrator CS4 from Web Premium

    I've just spent a couple of hours trying to get Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium completely installed on my work PC (the University of St Andrews, UK) using the volume licence key but I get an error when installing it.  It says "Done, with errors".  When I click on "More Information" I get a message saying:
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
    Error:
    Error 2.
    and sure enough, everything works apart from Illustrator CS4.  I read elsewhere on the forums (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2415634#2415634) about a solution, but I didn't fully understand the steps required.
    I'm using an absolutely clean installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (just has Windows 7, Office 2007 Professional and now Adobe CS4 Web Premium.  It's installed with English (United Kingdom) region settings.
    When I run the Adobe Support Advisor it says:
    Issue no: id18308
    Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
    Click here to read the Knowledge Base article
    System Information :
    Operating System = Windows 7 Professional
    Locale = en
    I followed the advice there, but the registry information didn't exist ("Right-click PDF Admin Settings and choose Permissions.") so I couldn't pursue that route.
    When I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS4 it said that it was using "English (International)".  It still doesn't work.
    Any advice would be gratefully received.  Or how can I contact Adobe about this directly?
    Thanks

    Hi Scott. 
    It was not that I was unwilling to Archive and Install... I didn't catch that in your initial response and that's why I called Apple... because I did understand that the user account was corrupt.  Apparently Apple is not aware of the Archive and Install fix either because that was not recommended.  I am sure if it was a common fix, they would have told me about it.  So, now that you have further explained how Archive and Install work, I am sure that information will be very helpful to someone else with the exact same problem.  This problem, for your information, is not uncommon as I found the question many times in my quest to get an answer... so there is indeed an issue that needs to be resolved.  Installing this software should have been just as easy as it was to install all the other software on my computer. 
    I know someone will find your response, in its entirety, very helpful.  Again, thank you for your time.
    Take care,
