Error message: Adobe Anchor Service CS4 1603

Hello! need help!
When installing the CS4 Premium suite on one of our company PC's we are getting this error right before it starts to install-
Error message: Adobe Anchor Service CS4
Error 1603
Fatal error during install
I have tried everything to get around it, with not luck. I have tried disabling everything running in the background, ran the cleanup script, I am an administrator on the PC so we have checked all the permission settings..registered and unregistered the windows installer, cleaned out the temp folder...
We are completely out of options at this point..has anyone else run into this issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi All,
I was facing the same issue and i have got the answer.
You have to follwo the mentioned below steps:
First check the Windows System Logs (Event Viewer -> Application), all it would tell you “Product: Adobe Anchor Service CS4 — Installation operation failed.”.
Basically you need to complete 2 simple steps.
1) Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
2) Download, unzip, and run the Adobe Windows CS3 Cleanup Script (which relies on the Windows program mentioned above to run) here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
I only had to run level 3 of the cleanup script to make it work.
As I said before, even though the Cleanup Script says it’s for CS3, it did work for me in installing CS4 as well.
Note: This is something we should use with Win 32 not with Win 64.
Regards,
Sam

Adobe Anchor Service CS4 Error 1612. The installation source for this product is not available.

Hi,
I've been trying to install CS4 Design Premium, except that I got this message:
Adobe Anchor Service CS4
Error:
Error 1612. The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
What is wrong and how do I fix it? I've installed this on my sister's laptop as well, but I've already uninstall it. Could this be the reason why?
Help appreciated, thanks!

Contact Adobe Technical Support for CS4 installation issues.
The problem has nothing to do with the fact that you already installed the same software on your "sister's laptop as well." And although you have already uninstalled it (and hopefully deactivated it as well), please remember that this software is licensed for a single user! You and your sister cannot somehow share the license.

Installing Problem: Adobe Anchor Service CS4 Error: Error 2.

Hello all,
I use a 32bit Windows Seven system, and I've got a problem during the install process (Adobe Anchor Service CS4
Error:
Error 2. )
I used to have After Effects (installed with the same installer i'm trying to use now), then, I've formatted my PC, and since then, wasn't able to install it again.
I've tried resetting my pc, closing all aps, like the program suggests, downloaded the Support Advisor, tried both ways he told (even though the problem in the link wasn't the same as mine) and it still havent installed.
Does anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks

There is a piece of Adobe software that removes all traces of a previous installation, making re-installation go much smoother.
Unfortunately, I don't remember its name. But someone will, and they might even have a link to it.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Adobe Anchor Service CS3 fails to install

Trying to install Photoshop CS3, it always fails due to a component installation failure:
Adobe Anchor Service CS3
Skipping operation because required operation failed with code: 2
Followed a lot of forum suggestion, CS3Clean, uninstall this and that, the problem persists.
Both GUI and silent install have the same problem.
Tried installing AdobeALMAnchorServiceAll directly with
msiexec /i AdobeALMAnchorServiceAll.msi ADOBE_SETUP=1 UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE=1 /qb

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help. I get the same message. What to do?

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

PDF won't open on Mac with Adobe Reader Error message:Adobe Reader could not open

I have Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Mac, (10.7.3) and am having problems opening pdfs. I get an error message: Adobe Reader could not open file name.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). The files are not from emails, but are from websites, government sites, professional organizations etc.) Help! Adobe is no help!

Manually download the files to your computer (right-click on the url). When the file is downloaded to your computer do you get the same message when you try to open in Reader through the File->Open menu? What about when you open the file in Mac's Preview application?

I can't Start, Uninstall or Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: Window Installer Service could not be accessed. No other programs have similar problem. Any suggestion what can be done?

I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

It sounds like you downloaded the wrong application, namely Adobe Premiere Elements.
If you meant Adobe Photoshop Elements, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you want:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
If you mean Photoshop proper, since you are posting in the Photoshop forum, give version details and your system specs.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

What's the name of the file you are attempting to open? Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"? If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension. Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

Anyone know this error message: Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 Update Installation failed. Error Co

Very new and very green to illustrator.
Have used only once or twice since i bought it.
Unfortunately when i need to use it now - it crashes
upon starting up.
I received the following error message:
Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7
Haven't a clue what to do!
Any help and direction would be most appreciated.

Updates can fail due to any number of system issue. They are more prone to failing if you alter the application in any way. On the Macintosh, popular applications such as Monoligual will remove application package contents and therefore cause updates to fail.
The easiest solution is to uninstall Illustrator CS5 using the uninstaller and then reinstall Illustrator CS5, then immediatlly run the 15.0.1 update.
