Error on install of CS4

When installing Photoshop CS4 I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS4 International English Language Pack
Error:
Error 2.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 International English Language Pack_x64
Error:
Error 2.
Selecting continue tells me that CS4 and CS4 x64 installed correctly.
If I just continue on and try to launch the program, I get an error box that says:
"Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
Reinstall didn't help. Any ideas?

Forgot to include a snipped of dxdiag, if that matters.

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
Gareth

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,

Error Installing Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7: Installer Database is Corrupt

Error Message: The Installer Database is Corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.
I bought a new laptop and would like to install Dreamweaver CS4 on it. It is already running fine on my desktop, being installed back in 1/2011. Both PCs are Windows 7 but the new laptop is Windows 7 Professional. I have downloaded the two install files ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.7z and ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.exe multiple ways and to multiple locatons on the laptop. I've run the .exe file multiple ways and extracted to several locations besides the default (c:\users\userid\Desktop\Adobe CS4). After the extract completes and it tries to run setup I get the same message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please Contact Adobe Customer Service" (which I did and they just gave me another download link I had already tried).
I even copied the folder with the extracted files done on my desktop (where the install had succeeded). And still got the same message when I ran setup.exe on the laptop. I tried running it with a "run as administrator" command prompt, double-clicking in Windows Explorer, start > run and the same thing happens. At least it doesn't appear that it has actually installed anything yet.
I did notice that my new PC has a program called "7-zip 9.20" installed which I do not remember installing and its install date is prior to my purchase of the PC so I'm guessing it came with it (HP Pavilion 15t running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The Windows 7 Desktop does not have this program installed. It is available from C|net where it has a good rating. Perhaps setup.exe does further extracting and the 7-zip program is the culprit? This is a long shot.
I searched for others with this problem and found lots of issues installing Dw CS4, but none quite like this.

Awesome! That worked! Actually I searched three folders (Program Files, Program Files (x86) & Program Data) for caps.db and found:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Elements\caps.db (dated 9/2/2011)
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup\caps.db
I ignored the first one since it might be needed by the Premier Elements 10 I installed yesterday and changed the name of the other one from caps.db to barb.fix.
I changed the install folder from c:\Program Files\Adobe to c:\Program Files (x86) just in case CS4 is a 32-bit application which I had done before when installing on my Windows7 Desktop. Now that the install has completed I see that I have caps.db files dated 5/5/2014 in
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\backup\caps.db (barb.fix is still there but is only 26kb vs 3291 kb for the new caps.db)
Thank-you so much! Now wish me luck when I try to open it for the first time!

All adobe cs4 products error during install

A) Yes, I have read through numerous posts and tried numerous solutions except the one that works.
1) Erased the registry keys for internet explorer blah blah blah
2) Closed all programs during installation including antivirus, disconnected from net.
3) Ran CS4 clean up AND windows install cleaner AND Revo Uninstaller
4) Rebooted several times/ ran the installer several times.
B) PC Specs: 2.0Ghz Duo Core Intel, 4 G Ram, Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, Avast Antivirus home addition, Dell m1530 XPS...
C) Installed Adobe Dreamworks CS4 trial without a hitch...
D) Tried to install Fireworks trial and got a ERROR 1603 message at about 95% of the install..Gave up on that one.
E) Trying to install the Adobe downloaded Photoshop CS4 Trial and also gives me a ERROR 1603 at about 95%... I would like to use this software but according to other postings...it doesnt matter if its the trial or paid for version..people are getting the ERROR 1603..
F) Its hard to believe that with all the people with the same issues, it has not been widely posted on how to troubleshoot this issue.
PLEASE HELP!!! i have tried everything that has been suggested on this forum and have no success..thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I too cannot install the CS4 Design Premium upgrade from CS3 Design Premium. I have done everything everyone suggested everywhere several times - from defragging my hard drive and registry, etc. etc. I think guess what Adobe, the problem is NOT my computer it is the install program. You need to fix this. And you need to get tech support that know how to fix things and want to help you, because it would be a whole lot less frustrating if you did. I have Windows Vista, SP1, 64 bit. Which is what might be the problem? Because the .exe on the install says 32?

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!

Error when installing CS4

When installing photoshop CS4 for the first time i get an error, I start the setup then i select to install Photoshop with adobe bridge and when i click install the process begins and when it's almost about to finish i get the following error:
Installation Error:
An error has ocurred when installing the following components:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Then i click the see more information of this error i get:
Adobe Bridge CS4
Error:

Hope someone can help me, Thanks in advance.

>I've got a big pot of turkey soup on the stove. I'll save you some. <g> <homer>arrgglllllgghhh...</homer> :) <hr> ok continuing the saga: closed firefox. hit retry. select "run as trial". accept the "uncopyable" license agreement. hint: some people actually read these things. it's kinda a nice gesture to the user to allow them to copy the license language so they can paste it into a program like word pad and change the font to something more readable the standard legal dept licensing's 2pt Beelzebub Semi-Bold. ... now the choice... do i choose "easy install" or "custom"? there's a freaking lot of components to install... I select "custom" but leave all options checked. just in case this gives me more control over things like file associations after the install. oddly enough, i can select and deselect anything on the long list INCLUDING photoshop cs4, EXCEPT for bridge cs4 (ok a lot of the sub components are un-de-selectable too). go figure... ok. go go gadget INSTALL! wait! did it ask me what drive? i don't think so...? it's going anyway. most likely to my c: drive. grr... i wanted to (meant to) select G. user error? probably. maybe... ok walk away for 10 minutes to save my blood pressure. come back and it's hung at about 75% done because now "Adobe AIR" app installer want access to 199.7.48.190 on the internet. WTF?!! ok, again. side note while install continues... i let the adobe installer (cs3) do it's thing weekly, so i should have all the latest components for stuff that existed prior to cs4 release. i wonder if this is going to roll any of them back? looks like it's heading for the home stretch. the progress bars are at about 90% (there's no actual percent reading, just bars going across the install window.) ok. cool. cs4 install complete. looks like everything installed good. <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1RySssqZLtL4AJEwUkAa3Kg5r5AZW1"/><img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1RySssqZLtL4AJEwUkAa3Kg5r5AZW1_thumb.jpg" border="0"/></a> now, let's take er for a spin... as a good friend mine say: "it's time to put your butt in the pudding!"

Can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. Setup error

I can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7. I get a vague error that says Setup error, sontact Adobe Customer Support. Adobe Customer Support refuses to help me. That really upsets me.

First of all I would like to thank the people that responded to my post. I am extreemly impressed with your eagerness to help and your concern for my problem. Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
I did not see a way to get a transcript of my chat. I should have printed it at the conclusion of my chat. Overall though, I think my concerns are with Windows itself and also how Adobe as a company handles a call from someone who gets an installation error that says "call Adobe Customer Support". I purchased this program to run on Windows 7 and I am installing it on a Windows 7 computer. I feel that if Adobe is going to give a vague error message and tell you to contact them, they should give me more assistance than "your product is too old, good luck on the forums". I could see if I am calling and asking them how to do something, maybe my product is too old for that, but I think their responce was unacceptable. I hope enough other people complain so that Adobe changes this policy.
Wow, this has taken an enormous amount of time to deal with. I imagine this is mainly a Windows file permissions issue, but I think Adobe needs to take some ownership for a client having to spend many HOURS trying to install their program on the original OS they purchased the program for.
I definitely do not like the way the Adobe Dreamweaver installer deals with errors. Here are the facts as I know them.
When the installer would fail on install, the subsequesnt install would fail, but it would give a VERY cryptic error stating that the install failed and I need to contact Adobe customer service.
In order to re-install I had to un-install. Naturally my un-installs failed every time, too. After lots of trial and error and checking the forumns, I found   the program install folders under c:\programs. I deleted them, re-booted, unistalled again with no errors. Then I could re-install without the vague "contact Adobe customer support" error. Note that I had to re-install several times to get to the bottom of the installation problem so this took a long time to figure out.
In the end, I had to manually delete files from C:\Windows\Installer in order to get Dreamweaver to install. This took a long time to figure out, too. It still installed with errors, but it said Dreamweaver would work with limited functionality. So far this is good enough for me and I am tired of spending non-billable time on this.
Following is one of the main erros I got during the first failed install. IF ANYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY MY INSTALL WAS FAILING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO ACCESS THOSE FILES, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AS THE PROGRAM IS INSTALLED AS ADMINISTRATOR. Any thoughts???
Thanks again everyone who helped!

Installing Dreamweaver CS4 while keeping CS3 web premium 1603 error

Hi,
I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS4 but I also have creative suite 3 web premium installed and want to keep all the cs3 programs except for dreamweaver cs3 because I'm upgrading to CS4. When I try to install it I get the infamou 1603 error.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Unregister everything CS3 and remnants of failed CS4 installs using the CS4 Clean Utility. Also include Acrobat Reader. Manually uninstall AIR-based stuff using the "Add or Remove Programs" panel. Then try again.

Error 1603. Photoshop CS4

Alright, so I recently got Photoshop CS4, for some odd reason when I had to do a system restore, it messed up. Not sure why, but I got the screen to accept or decline the user end license agreement, when I clicked to accept it, it just went away and nothing happened. So I uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it, now every time I try, it gets right to the end, where it's installing Adobe Bridge CS4 and it comes up with an error saying it had problems installing photoshop CS4 and then asks me if I want to continue with the installation, I click continue, and it finishes, but I get an error message at the end again. When I click more information I get this:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Photoshop CS4

I'm not sure why I'm getting this error, please tell me someone knows what the hell is going on here? Lol. Because people are going to ask here are my specs:

OS: Windows Vista
RAM: 2g
Free HD space: 170g

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
All help is EXTREMELY appreciated. :D Thanks in advance.

I just got the trial version to install after trying for 12 hrs.
I'm on Vista Home basic, acer laptop, I tried everything ..
I edited the registry (see this post
Alan Musgrove, "critical error during PS CS4 installation" #20, 22 Jan 2009 12:56 pm and deleated the keys back to default), turned off firewall and anti virus, disconnected from the internet, shut down all my running programs including the acer empowering technology application( using windows taks manager) ran adobe wincleancs4 script twice, then cs3 clean script, made sure the adobe cs4 trial file that I downloaded was on my desk top, then turned off the uac (user account control).
Whilst running the clean up scripts to level 2 (maximum) I also chose the option to remove the adobe media player . One of the clean up scripts gives the option to do this, can't remember which one.
I already have shockwave player and reader 9.1 installed, but I chose to install all the items on the trial. It worked like a dream.
I tried every fix you could imagine before, but IMHO it was probably running Both clean scripts to (level 2 with the remove media player option) as explained and finally turning off the UAC that did the trick.
Maybe if I'd turned off the uac first. I may not have had to do the others.
all in all, by doing everything above, it finally worked.
Hope that helps someone.
Thanks all.

Cannot install Photoshop CS4 on Windows Vista Business

Ok people, looking for some help with this. I have a new PC (less than 2 months old). I cannot get Photoshop CS4 installed at all. I'm sure there have been a million threads like this before asking the same question. Although I am a newb to Photoshop I am certainly not when it comes to computers, this is what I do for a living. I can't even believe I am actually having to ask for help.... :\
Anyway, help appreciated. I have Windows Vista Business SP1 (32-bit), and its running on a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHz with 4 gig of RAM. I have plenty of free space on my hard drives.
When the install completes, I get the same error message, installed with errors. When I click to see the error info it says something about language packs (I can get the exact error if you want, just installed and uninstalled about 10 times but hey).
Things I have tried a few times have been to follow through all the other threads and the Adobe support pages - Uninstalling the product through Programs first, running Windows Install Cleanup, running the Adobe CS4 Clean Script - when I do these things in this order both of the cleanup utilities don't find any installs of Photoshop CS4, so it doesn't appear they are doing anything. I have disabled everything on the PC, done a selective startup, turned off UAC, firewall, anti-virus - everything suggested. Still, the same error persists.
I have even run my Registry Mechanic and cleaned up that, and of course checked registry permissions etc. Please help!

You may want to install Vista SP2. It contains a lot of fixes and has the newer 4.5 installer.
Also if Vista is set for English then CS4 has to be set as US English upon install (I think someone already pointed that out).
Before install go services and set the windows installer to auto and start it. Also good idea to turn off windows defender.
Go to MSconfig and turnoff as many start up items that you don't need running (you will have to reboot).
Ensure nothing Adobe related is running in the back ground before install. (someone already mention this I think)
Anti-virus: I turned mine off during install.
I did not install AIR nor Device Central on my system as I would never use them.

Anyone else have any idea what might be causing my problem? The other thing I was going to try was contacting Adobe support, but can I do this for the trial version? When I tried to log a case it kept asking me to select my product, but I don't have one yet....
Thanks.
