Flash cs4 trial uninstall - wont uninstall

When I looked at the forum list - i saw no option or forum for installation issues - adobe search results were worse than google's - so i'm posting here in hopes of a human response....
Adobe support has not responsed for the last five days - so i guess i'm on my own...
I installed the Flash CS4 trial - when it expired - I purchased CS4 Premium and installed it - NOW, Flash will not launch, gives an error message stating the licenase has expried.  The twenty two hundred license I just purchased and used for the install - is expired!?!?!?!
So I uninstalled CS4 Premium - checked my registery - and re-installed.......givies me the exact same results - licensed expired.....
Did some research - found Adobe had created a special tool - just for the uninstallation or removal of their CS4 trial software - so, I download and run the CS4 clean up script.... Rebooted, checked the registry and re-installed yet again..............Same results - licensed expired.....
So now -
I installed purchased copy of CS4 Premium - it does not work
I ran the uninstall - rebooted
I ran the Microsoft clean up - rebooted
I ran the CS4 Clean up - rebooted
Checked the registry - rebooted
tried to run the CS4 installation again - except this time - the setup no longer runs - setup gets to 85%-ish and shuts down - throwing out a message stating that Setup cannot run. Contact Support.
Contact Adobe Support? - are you serious? they have not responded in five days...after spending over two thousand dollars and i'm unable to run the software...think I'll just request a refund instead.....
Before I totally give up on CS4 - I thought I'd try the forums and see if anyone is generous and kind enough to offer some direction.....
I would greatly appreciate some assistance, Please.
I'm running windows vista 64 with triple core processor (Vista, I know....that's my first mistake)
I've ran the microsoft and CS removal scripts, rebooted
and now
the program went from not running due to expired license to the setup not running at all
Any suggestions - other than dropping the box off a cliff???
Thank you for your time and attention

I installed and then uninstalled (without dragging to the trash) a trial of Photoshop CS3. Now none of my CS2 programs work. The message says "a serious error has been detected, to continue using CS2 please reinstall the application." I got the same "we no longer provide support for this product, please consider spending another $600 to upgrade to CS4" message from Adobe. Attempts to reinstall have not been successful. Now what?

  • In need of Flash CS4 trial again

    Hello i had downloaded flash cs4 on a laptop, due to my desktop being messed up, now my desktop is fixed,and i would like to download the flash cs4 trial on desktop now,but the only problem is i do not see CS4 trials on site anymore, is there anyways to still access the flash CS4 links to still get trial version, or will i have to wait for CS5 trial to come out now:( thanks in advance to all who respond:)

    OP was looking for CS4."
    I know. The site had all trials down for a bit, and traditionally the site only has trials for the current version, which is CS5. Which were just added to the site, hence the link. Nowadays the only safe place to find a CS4 trial would be from an old trial disk, and some book CD-ROMs will have a trial on them that  you could get from a library.
    Regarding where the link was from. The link I added was one that came from the Adobe.com folks - the product page link wasn't working, so they gave us those which would take you directly to the store area of the site to get the trial.

  • Flash CS4 Trial Version Crash

    I've been using Flash CS3 pro. It crashes when importing images to library. Ran all updates -still crahses
    So I downloaded Flash CS4 trial ran all the updates. It ran fine for a few hours... then crashed.
    Now Trial version also crashes also when importing images to library.
    Error window says: windows - no disk exception processing message c000013 parameters .......
    progam then stops responsing....I have a ticket in at support but no answer in almost 3 days now.
    Running Windows XP
    Please advise - I have a flash file that needs updating.

    It's been my experience that with computers that only barely meet the system requirements across the board for Flash or many other Adobe products tend to crash those products even when performing the most seemingly mundane tasks. If installing more RAM is not an option, try keeping all other programs/windows closed while working in Flash. (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/systemreqs/)
    One little trick that I have found to be usefull on slower machines is to not Import to Library, but rather Import to Stage. Importing to the library also adds the step of creating a graphic symbol (CS3) or a movie clip (CS4), whereas Importing to the stage does not.
    Also, are you pulling the images off of an external device like a USB drive or an external hard drive? This could be another - and probably the real -  reason you are experiencing the error. Try putting the images on your HD, then importing.
    You may still want to get some more RAM to handle Flash CS4.

  • Flash CS4 Trial won't install

    Hi There!
    I've been trying to install Flash CS4 Trial since its release
    but always get the same error message.
    The package is uncompressed and install process begins, goes
    to 100% and then a message box comes on asking to check disk space
    (I've got plenty) and permissions and privileges (I'm using the the
    admin account). Firewalls down, no good.
    Tried on 3 different machines with plenty of disk space,
    memory, etc, both on XP and Vista. Doesn't work.
    I have also downloaded the same file 3 or 4 times. No good.
    I wonder if anybody else has faced the same frustrating
    problems.
    I had previously installed CS4 suite (beta) and it all worked
    fine.
    Please, help!

    What in the World? Is there anyway to get FLaSH CS4 trial
    version to install? OK. I have Service Pack 3, it keeps telling me
    to disable my Firewall, (which I have done over and over, after
    re-booting...) I even tried to install after checking off
    everything in the msconfig in the Run it won't do anything
    different... Also, I still haven't seen hide nor hair of any
    'FLEXnet' file or app ANYWHERE. Honestly, what is with this crazy
    'install' routine Adobe? Help! I really want to be working with
    this new prog!!! Please do away with this insane install thing
    please... (ASAP) ...thanks.
    UPDATE: Ok, now i've gotten to the next problem: the Install
    stops at 8% (Dynamiclink Support) no matter what... I was able to
    install the CS4 of Photoshop though. I'm going to try removing my
    licensed copy of Flash MX2004 in case it is interfering with the
    CS4 Flash install... Other options may be try installing the
    Premiere so that it can get the Dynamiclink Support installed ...?
    maybe CleanScript...? no way to find the simple solution on any
    support pages or forums though? hmm...
    SOLVED:
    I managed to put off some bills and purchased the upgrade
    from MX2004 and the install worked fine... go figure! (This also
    allowed for the phone tech support assistance i apparently needed
    too. I got a nice person after a 15 minute wait.) The purchased
    upgrade download worked as far as the install went: good; but: I
    went click on the FLaSH icon to open the program after a reboot and
    it said "the Licensing is no durn good no more." So I said,hmmm...
    Here's what was likely a problem: the FLEXnet folder (had to
    do an Explorer search to locate these) had been duplicated from a
    previous install attempt a few days earlier and the duplicate AS
    WELL AS the 'non-duplicate' had a 'read only' status that need to
    be un-checked and permissions had to be set on the FLEXnet folder
    for Admin, etc. That was pretty much the culprit. Hope this may
    help someone. This tech file was a help: kb405970

  • Flash CS4 Trial Failed

    After downloading and installing Flash Pro CS4 I got to use
    it only a couple days for a couple hours each day. Now the trial
    software won't open. I get a box telling me options of trial or
    register. I click the trial option and the next box states "Problem
    with the trial." The software wants me to buy and register even
    though I have gotten no trial period other than a few hours. Is
    this normal. Is there any solution to regain my trial period or is
    the the typical Adobe tactic of their trial softwares?
    Also, the Adobe site won't allow me to download any other
    trial softwares such as Dreamweaver. I am new to Adobe site and
    have never tried any of their software before.
    There is no support for anyone other than paid customers so
    if you know something, I'd appreciate any assistance.
    Thank you.

  • Flash CS4 trial installation

    Hope i  am in the right place for this query.
    I am trying to download a trial version of Flash onto my laptop. Windows XP, service pack 3, 1.66 GHz, 2.00 GB Ram.
    I downloaded the trial but wrongly asked it to open rather than save, so it saved onto my desktop, but would not then open, it was taking me round in circles between 'the download is complete', then 'install now' it then goes through the extraction procedure but brings me back to install now and wants to extract it again.It appeared to be extracting to the Adobe folder. (I have Photoshop etc)
    When I tried to download it again it indicated it was already downloaded. So I removed all Flash CS4 files that I could find (on the basis that if it was not installed this should be safe enough) but it is still indicating that it is downloaded and I cannot go back to the 'do you want to open/save this file'.
    I am sure I have made all sorts of mistakes with all this but if anyone can offer any ideas I would be grateful. Thanks.

    if you really started the installation and it installed halfway through or similar, run the cleanup script which can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html and reinstall CS4 again, this time download it with a different browser if possible.

  • Flash CS4 Trial not producing SWF with ActionScript

    After installing Flash CS4 (the trial), it has appeared that
    when compiling saved FLAs no longer produce SWFs with AS3 code.
    AS1/2 works fine, and compiling a Untitled-1 document works fine,
    it is just saved AS3 FLAs. Even FLAs saved with Flash CS3 that work
    in that product no longer work in Flash CS4.

    if you really started the installation and it installed halfway through or similar, run the cleanup script which can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html and reinstall CS4 again, this time download it with a different browser if possible.

  • Flash CS4 Trial - Virus Reported by Kaspersky

    Hi there,
    I just installed Flash CS4 to try it out before upgrading. My
    software apparently found a Trojan virus,
    (Trojan.Win32.Inject.otb), in it (in the
    MOG_Framework_r.2.0.7.92.dll file). I re-downloaded the trial using
    a different browser on a different OS and using direct url to
    download instead of the download manager (
    http://trials.adobe.com/Applications/FlashPro/CS4/Win/ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.7z)...
    but same results.
    Is this really a virus?

    Recently I had issue with Flash CS4 crashing repeatedly. Also
    the application would have trouble using the text tool to create
    TextFields it would not update the properties panel (Ctrl+F3) when
    switching between field types (dynamic, static and input). Also the
    properties panel would not update when selecting other items in the
    FLA file and just remain as the TextField details.
    A co-worker found that the issue was with the fonts on our
    systems. It appears some where corrupt and this was wreaking havoc
    with Flash CS4. We tried turning off the preview but that did not
    work. What did work was removing the corrupt fonts on our systems.
    First we had to find out which fonts were corrupt which can
    be done with FontAgentPro from Insider Software
    (www.insidersoftware.com). (Compatible with Mac OSX, XP and Vista)
    We installed the trial and tried to run an import which told
    us which fonts were corrupt. Once we knew which fonts were corrupt
    we just deleted/removed them from our Font folder. Note
    FontAgentPro crashed when we deleted/removed the fonts with it
    open; so we had to make a list of the fonts and close FontAgentPro.
    Once the bad fonts were gone we were able to open and run
    Flash CS4 without it crashing or the properties panel from hanging
    or becoming unresponsive.
    We hope this helps other who are experiencing similar issues.
    Note:
    On fresh Vista install Calibri, Cambria and Constantia fonts
    were all seen as corrupt. Not sure if this happened due to font
    installs we made, vista install bad (which runs very stable) or if
    Vista fonts are a different creature than previous window OT and
    TTF fonts.

  • Help in downloading flash CS4 trial

    The Akamai Download manager is supposed to download 2 files. ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.exe finished download quickly.
    ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.7z says : The server returned an error. would you like to retry?
    The same happens if i try to retry.
    The status changes in this way: connecting-> initializing->pausing->error. The size of the .7z file doesn't show while it shows that the .exe file is 1.17mb
    I've been trying to download the trial since like one week and the same error is appearing.
    I once downloaded a trial for a different product before the Akamai Download Manager was used and it worked.
    Nothing works, progress remains 0%
    I appreciate everyone's effort to help.

    Hi,
    The same problem has been happening to me, anyways, I figured out how to override the akamai download manager and downloaded the file directly.
    If you want to try it, go to http://trials.adobe.com/Applications/FlashPro/CS4/Win/ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.7z
    It worked for me, hope it works for you!

  • Flash CS4 (Mac) quits when closing file

    Not sure if this is a bug or an oversight or a "feature", but
    no apple application quits when you close a document.
    On Macs, when a document in a Flash CS3 (or any other mac
    app) is being worked on and then closed, the application stays
    active (open) in the dock so you can quickly open any other
    document. But Flash CS4 (trial) quits when I close my document.
    Whats up with that? This is more of a PC functionality that I
    really don't like.
    Thx
    Fish

    Hi Fish,
    I also had this problem but soon realized that files now open
    in tabs. To close a file without quitting Flash, close the tab --
    not the window.
    Hope this helps,
    Sean
