Error installing CS4 from downloaded .dmg file

I work for a company that receives upgrades from Adobe and most recently was given the downloadable CS4 upgrade from our IT department. When I went to open up the DesignPrem_CS4.dmg file it gives an error of "The following disk images failed to mount" reason "not recognized." Have you heard of this happening before?
We are currently running CS3 on Mac OS 10.5.6 which was installed from a CD. I've done some searching on this error, but the only thing I have found is that the file might be corrupt. We had IT download it again, but had the same issue. I've also tried to run the .dmg file through Disk Utility and tried to repair it without any success. Any thoughts on fixing this? Should we download directly to our Mac desktop? Could a file become corrupted by downloading to the Windows environment and then transferring over a network to the Mac?
Thanks

Hi Buko,
If it is a corrupt file, what steps can we take to insure that it doesn't happen again? Our IT department has downloaded it twice. Could it be the method or program in which they are downloading? What causes corrupt downloads?
Thanks

My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
Can anyone help?

Yep. Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI. I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column. Now it's just blank. Link to screenshot below:

Note the install date. That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it. Now I can't even do that. I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller. It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it? It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

Error trying to install CS4 design premium on windows vista home premium

I'm having trouble installing CS4 design premium, as soon as it does the checking system it comes up with an error that says I need windows XP sevice pack 2 and some other windows. I have Windows vista home premium and all the other requirements, so i'm not sure why it's saying that? I do have CS3 installed but I didn't want to unistall it before I installed the CS4, cause then I wouldn't have anything to work on. The CS4 is brand new and I have it installed with no problems on another computer that has windows XP. Would I have to uninstall CS3 before I try to install it? I'm afraid that I will be left with neither if I do that and this was not a cheap investment to take that chance. Does anyone know how I could get CS4 design premium installed?
Thank you
Jorge Gonzalez

You should npt have to uninstall anything except Acrobat for CS4 to install. You can call tech support for free installation support.

Error 1603 when installing CS4 on Windows 8.1

Good day
I'm trying to install CS4 Design Premium on Windows 8.1 64bit machine. A previous install has failed and I uninstalled it using Windows and AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe
A couple seconds into the installation (after actually starting the install) the following error appears:
"Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4
Fehler: Error 1603. Schwerwiegender Fehler bei der Installation."
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards
Simon

you can uninstall any cs4 program that is installed.
clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
and retry installing.
if you again see a 1603 error, check your install logs for more specific info - Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4

I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website. Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

I recently installed CS4, and I can not make a connection to my website. Message an FTP error occurred and cannot make a connection to host. The remote host cannot be found.

Open up your site definition (double-click on the site name in the File panel or choose Site > Manage Sites > Edit) and go to the Remote Info category. There, click Use Firewall (if it isn't already selected) - press Test to try the default firewall settings. If that doesn't work, click Firewall Settings. You'll see two relevant settings about 2/3 down - Firewall host and Firewall port. If Firewall port is 21, there probably is something blocking the port.
On Windows XP, you may have the Windows Firewall installed and blocking. Here's how you get to it:
To open Windows Firewall
1.
Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2.
In the control panel, click Windows Security Center.
3.
Click Windows Firewall.
Once you have that open, you'll need to set Dreamweaver as an exception to blocking:
On the Exceptions tab, click Add Program.
In the list of programs, click the name of the program (Dreamweaver) that you want to add, and then click OK. If the name of your program is not in the list of programs, click Browse to locate the Dreamweaver.exe in the Program Files folder and then click OK.
Hope this helps - Joe

Can uninstalling and installing CS4 fix the debug event error message?

Hello,
Can uninstalling and installing cs4 solve the debug event error message?

Can uninstalling and installing cs4 solve the debug event error message?
Well, that DOES seem to be the scripted mantra of Adobe TS in some out of the way country. According to most reports, that cures everything from trying to Capture over a USB cable to working with footage from your cellphone camera. In most cases, it has cured very little, though maybe the Debug Event error IS something that will be fixed by this.
Good luck,

Will installing a CS5 trial fix the version cue errors from CS4?

Hi, I was wondering if installing a trial version of CS5 would fix the version cue errors from CS4.
If not, does anyone know a good download of the version cue files? They have all dissappeared from my computer after running the cleanup script and the problem still persists =(

Afterr months of pain and one ephiphany later, i have a simple solution to the issue.
Go into the common files, adobe drive, version cue folder, and drag the files into the recycling bin =)
So theres no need to install cs5 =D
Hope this can help others who still have this issue.

Premiere pro 1.5 activation error after installing CS4 Design Prem

After installing CS4 Design Prem (which does not have Premiere in it), my Premiere Pro 1.5 comes up with the Adobe activation notice, "Your computer's configuration appears to have changed since the time the product was activated..." but when I press OK to reactivate, premiere just locks up and won't respond or load. Premiere worked fine before I installed CS4. I can install Premiere again but I was wondering if anyone knew about this since I don't want to to knock out my CS4 too!
Thanks, Bruce

Hi,
I know from another site that you solved this problem with using a CS3.3 disc that you had. Exactly the same thing is happening to me. Only difference is I just wanted to free up some space and have been using the CS5 for a few weeks now so uninstalled the CS4 as it seemed odd to keep it on when it's not necessary. But now this. I have gone back to the download page and tried to reinstall but nothing. I'm guessing I will have to dig out my cS4 discs but just thought I'd see if there was a more logical alternative?

Re-installing CS4 and receiving error saying installation database is corrupt

I am trying to re-install CS4 on Windows 8 PC - keep getting installation database is damaged error

Error "...Installer Database is Corrupt..." when you install Adobe Creative Suite 3 products

How to resolve message "Installer database is corrupt" when trying to install CS4 on Win 8.1?

I purchased a disk set of CS4 a few years back and have recently purchased a new computer. When trying to install CS4 on the new computer, I received an error message saying "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." Called "customer support" and after a VERY long time and three transfers, I was told "Too bad, we can't help you. Maybe download a new copy?" So I did. When trying to install the fresh download, I received the exact same error message: "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." This appears to be a conflict between the CS4 installer database and Win 8.1. Is this a known issue? How do I resolve it? Thanks for any assistance. ~Evey
