Error installing Premiere Pro CS4 - "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service"

I had to replace my hard drive and so I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS4. I tried to do that with the files I had downloaded before, but the install failed and gave me the error message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service".
I assumed that the files I downloaded had become corrupt, so I logged on and re-downloaded the ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.7z and ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe files. I ran ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe and it also failed and gave me the same error message. I tried another download from a different page and got the same error again.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to get my program installed?

    Run the cleaner tool and reinstall from scratch, making sure you have proper file permissions and user privileges and turning off potential disturbances liek virus scanners etc..

    CS3 forever if the installer database is corrupted then you will first want to install with a fresh copy of the installation files.  You can download a fresh copy of the CS3 installation files at Download CS3 products.

  • I can't download my old Adobe Photoshop CS4, "The Installer Database is corrupt"

    I've recently bought a new laptop and I'm trying to install my Photoshop CS4 that I purchased years ago. 
    I've tried both the Akamai Downloader and the files from here: Download CS4 products 
    Both result in an error that says "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service."
    What can I do?  I spent money on this program and I have the serial number listed in my Adobe account.
    Thank you.

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • CS4 Web Premium Installation "Installer Database Corrupt.  Contact Adobe Customer Service."

    I need help. 
    I just purchased a HP Envy 23 running Windows 8.  It came with Adobe Premiere and Elements 11 already installed.
    I own Lightroom 3, which I installed very quickly and easily.
    I own CS4 Web Premium with the serial number at hand.  I insert the disk 1 to install and the error message appears: "Installer Database Corrupt. Contact Adobe Customer Service."  After serveral attempts, I resort to researching on this forum. 
    In the forum, found here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1238032 I was asked to go the linked website and download and specifically follow the instructions to install CS4 from the internet.  I did what I was told as closely as possible. 
    I received the same error message: "Installer Database Corrupt."
    I asked if I needed to uninstall Elements 11 before trying to install CS4 but haven't received a response.  Actually, now Adobe won't let me sign on with my password and when I request for a new one it doesn't send me a confirmation email so I have resorted to making a new username.
    I called Adobe about the issue with the error and was directed back here to the forum because they do not have phone service support for CS2, CS3, CS4, or CS5 because it is "old" technology.  I am loosing lots of work time because I can't seem to get a quick response to my questions here on the forum.
    I found another forum saying that I need to rename the file "caps.db." to "xcaps.db" and it will install just fine.  I did what it said, looking for any and every folder in both premiere and elements to rename anything that began with "caps"  After doing so, I still got the error message.
    What I need to know is:
    1. How can I install CS4 Web Premium either by disk or internet without getting an error.
    2. Must I totally uninstall Elements and Premiere to get CS4 installed?  I really don't want to do that since I paid for them with the purchase of my computer. 
    I'd really like some answers.  Thanks.

    You're going to need to be more specific about what I am supposed to do because I'm very unfamiliar with computer lingo.  I don't know what an OEM is and I am unsure about these backup disks you are referring to.  The expertise on this forum is the only lifeline I have to fixing this Adobe issue so I really want to try my best here to get things resolved.  I've not heard of deleting caps.db and haven't heard of anything to do with medai.db files before.  I'm supposed to delete these instead of renaming caps?

  • Error installing Premiere Pro CS4 trial version

    Hi all,
    i've just downloaded Premiere Pro CS4 for testing.
    During installation the files were extracted and setup was starting. But after the system check the installer says that an error occured and that i have to look in the log file. So i'm not able to install the trial.
    Any ideas?
    It can't be a problem of the installer, i've downloaded the sources twice.

    If you have not done so, make sure that your Account is an Administrator. Turn off ALL Anti-virus, pop-up blockers and sypware programs.
    As later Adobe installers rely heavily on Flash, I'd make sure to have the very latest Flash Player (free from Adobe).
    If this fails to resolve the issue, you might try to install from Safe Mode. IIRC, PrPro will NOT allow for this, though PS still does. Still, you can test my memory here.
    Good luck, and I'm sure others will have additional ideas for you,

  • Photoshop CS4 Install: "The Installer Database is corrupt.  Please contact Adobe Customer Service"

    I am installing on a brand new HP PC with Win 7/64.  I have already deleted all CAPS DBs and still no progress.  Has anyone been successful in installing this in Win 7/64 or am I just screwed and need to fork over anothetr grand right now to my Adobe masters?  Their support facility dumped me here...
    I do and have had it installed on my Win 7/64 laptop for over a year with no issues.  Simply replaced my desktop and installing copy 2 on it per license.

    I'm guessing that your new PC came pre loaded with some later versions of adobe Elements or Premiere?  I had to uninstall everything Adobe.  I had a newer version of Premiere installed and that was what was causing the issue.  Once I uninstalled Premiere and the rest of the installed Adobe components using the windows installer (in control panel), I deleted the Adobe directory in Program Files.  I then restarted the PC and retried the install.  It worked just fine after that.  Adobe also has a "cleaner" tool that is referred to in the post by kglad above.  It didn't work for me but it's worth a shot to save you having to uninstall everything.
    Hope that this helps!

  • CS4, "The installation database is corrupt"

    Help!  Wanted to install this on my new PC. I had no problems originally installing it on my older PC.  I have disks...but can't get past disk #1.  i don't want to deactivate it from the old PC, if I can't get it back.
    I'm getting nowhere fast.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!
    Rosemary

    Problem solved.  Mine was a new machine and came with Adobe premiere elements 10 installed. I went into program/adobe/adobe elements 10 directory and found a caps.db file.  Renamed to xcap and wallah….cs 4 installed no problem.
    Thanks Jeff re the caps file, I did not see that conflict mentioned anywhere on corrupt install info.  The new machine bit me as I knew I didn’t have cs3 installed!
    Good luck Chasing Problems.  Odds maybe that you have an adobe preinstall on yours as well.  Simple fix once you know it.

    Photoshop CS4 install on new computer.  I deactivated it on my old computer this morning before I re-downloaded from My Orders.
    Jim Puckett

    I cleaned All and rebooted.  I deleted downloaded ADBEPHSPCS4_LS1 files and I deleted the unzipped Adobe CS4 folder and files created by ADBEPHSPCS4_LS1 and started over with a fresh download.
    Still does not install.  Exact same issue remains.  Should I uninstall Adobe Premier Elements 10?  Should I uninstall Adobe Acrobat XI Standard?

  • DW CS 4 ERROR: "The Installer Database is corrupt."

    Upon install attempt, I'm getting An ERROR: "The Installer Database is corrupt." ... this is a brand new machine, I just bought CS6 but want both 4 & 6 on the machine.... installing cs4 first then cs6... both full products. I never loaded the CS4 on but one computer, now I have a new machine and am thinking I will use the new one as my second install... this because i am worried about learning curve for the new version... I can still get vital chores done if I am struggling learning the new one

    Will try this. BUT HEY, I might have compromised data... Explaination follows
    In my first try to fix this I went on "bing" typed Adobe customer service and got a phone number.... the person wanted to charge me 99 bucks to fix it claiming "you need to buy this service" and "Yes we service Adobe Dell" when asked if this was adobe customer service or dell customer service.... I was asked for the KEY and told he needed to check his database ... he took the key, I bet this is bad.... I bet this joker was some scam artist and I told him so and hung up as soon as he demaned I buy his service... but he already had the key
    I bet this was a ____ up on my part.

  • I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8 it says "The Installer Database is corrupt"

    I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC and when I run SETUP.EXE it says "The Installer Database is corrupt" on both my original CD and backup I made.

    The error is here:
    Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC
    This will most likely never work. CS3 wasn't even fit for Win 7. Delete the caps.db in the respective caps folder (info here) and then take the usual steps of running as admin, turning off UAC and security tools and possibly using compatibility modes, but as I said, be prepared that this may be futile and you spend a Sunday afternoon without achieving anything...
