  • Need help installing CS4 ......

    I've tried to install twice and keep getting this error:
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
    Error:
    Error 1603.
    Error 1335.The cabinet file 'AdobePremierePro4All1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.  AdobeColorCommonSetRGB Error: Error 2.
    Apparently one or more files are corrupt and is preventing me from installing CS4.
    I have a 32bit Windows OS, with CS5 installed, but had to try to install the CS4 for the above because it requires a 64bit OS.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?   TY

  • Need help installing CS4 trial

    Every time I try to install the trial, I get an error message about 1/4 of the way through saying: "the following components could not be installed: Adobe Bridge, Adobe Photoshop."  I Don't know what to do (i even tried installing it several times, but the same error message occured every time.) Does anyone know what to do, cause I really wanna try out this program.

    I think this is not going to work. In particular the mere 512MB of RAM may actuially already prevent the installer from even being able to extract the required files. Min specs for CS4 states 1GB and even that can by no means be considered sufficient to run most apps smoothly. You may be able to get it to run by cleaning up your system here and there, but that is beyond what this forum can provide for. Nobody knows, what specific drivers and otehr software you have on the system that may hinder successful running of the installer.

  • Help installing CS4 Creative Suite on Maverick

    Hi, I am wondering if there is a way around this, I lost my hard drive on my Mac Book Pro and have had a new one installed. I am running Maverick 10.9.2 but unable to reinstall CS4, I get this message ‘You can’t open the application “install adobe creative suite” because powerpc applications are no longer supported’ I had it working on my old hard drive while running Maverick but cant install it on my new one.

  • Unable to install CS4 on a 2nd computer.

    Seeking help installing CS4 on a 2nd computer.  I have CS4 on my desktop iMac (using OSX 10.7.5) and since I recently bought a MacBook Pro (using 10.8.3), I wanted to install it on there as well.  The only problem is that the MacBook Pro does not have a CD player.  To get around that, I put the CD contents on a USB Key.  I attempted to load CS4 on the MacBook Pro using the USB Key, but right off the bat it gave me an error when I double-clicked the SETUP folder:  "SETUP ERROR - Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue.  Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."  I tried this several times but got the same message.  I called Adobe however they were unable to help since it is an old version - they suggested I post the question here and see if someone can help.  The Adobe Rep did say that perhaps the Setup file was corrupted, but did not offer any further information beyond that. 

    Noel: 
      Thank you so incredibly much - I sincerely appreciate your help!
      I did just what you recommended and it worked perfectly!
      For anyone else reading this with the same problem, here is how I did it:
      I copied the entire Photoshop CS4 to a USB Key
      plugged that in to my MacBook Pro
      made a New Folder on the Desktop of the MacBook
      copied all the items from the USB Key to the New Folder
      dropped the New Folder into the Macintosh HD on the MacBook
      then went to the Photoshop CS4 folder on the Macintosh HD
      double-clicked on the SETUP folder, and voila - it worked!
      Once I entered the serial number, the program downloaded and the only hitches were that it did not have the latest Adobe AIR version, so I had to go   to the Adobe site and download a new version of that at www.adobe.com/go/getair
    I am so thankful - Adobe would not work with me since I had the older version of CS4, so I was faced with buying a new version of Photoshop, not being able to use it on my laptop, and possibly buying Aperture instead - none of which I really wanted to do.  So thanks again - you know your stuff and your help is greatly appreciated!  Sincerely,  Jimmy.

  • Can't Install CS4 properly. Please help.

    Hi,
    I've looked around, this forum and other forums for help, but nothing has availed.
    I have tried so many things such as running the winCS4cleanupScript.
    Problem:
    When i try to install CS4, everything seems fine until a message pops up saying,
    Installation has failed, following programs failed to install, adobe premiere & some other program.
    I click continue, and happens again to all the programs.
    In the end the error code was 1603, Looked something like this:
    Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Error:
    Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
    Adobe Bridge CS4
    Error:
    Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
    Adobe Device Central CS4
    Error:
    Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.    etc.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Tim,
    Follow the mentioned below steps it will work for you.
    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
    Please 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

  • Problems installing CS4, Adobe help not helping, can't find solution in forums

    When I try to install CS4 (on Windows Vista machine), I get the error "Uninstall Color Profiles Rollback Preventing the Installation".  Offered two solutions, I did both, but wouldn't allow me to cut/paste 10 files from the system32/spool/drivers/color folder.  I tried to go into the registry, it said, "some permissions could not be changed".  On the forums, it said some files could be linked to monitor or printers...I don't have a printer installed currently, but what am I supposed to do for a monitor?  I'm guessing they are not allowing me to move them because they are in use, but I don't know how to "unuse" them without not using the monitor.  I tried safe mode, didn't work...any suggestions?

    this is a poorly formatted page (at least for me) but there is help offered here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-uninstallcolorprofilesrollback-e35c3ecb-5fd a-49e1.html

  • Help!  CS4 install - Mac - "Setup has encountered and error and cannot continue"

    Attempting to install CS4 Design Premium on PowerMac G5 with Mac OS 10.4.11
    Install with first DVD and gets about 80% across on the progress bar and it fails with a message "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue".    Is there an install log created where I could get diagnostic messages to give a hint on what the error is?
    Any insight is totally appreciated!

    The worst telephone support I have ever experienced!   Pathetic.
    The first recommendation posted here in response to my initial inquiry was to contact technical support becaue it is "FREE".   I really suggest that you no longer make recommendations like that.
    The first call I was placed on hold 20 minutes after the technician told me "TWO' minutes.   I hung up the telephone because I could only assume I was placed back in the queue.
    The second call I had to spell my first name, my last name letter by letter to have the technician read it back to me letter by letter from a script, A=APPLE, B=BOY, B=CAT......   he also placed me on hold.   If had to spell my name, and he spell it back to me, how can I explain an error I am having, steps I have taken and have any reasonable expectation of a solution being translated back to me?   I hung up after being placed on hold a second time.
    The third call iced this pathetic excuse for support.    Again, at least six minutes spelling my name.  Another four or five minutes spelling the email address.    Repeating the error code three times, slowly word by word.   This call I endured for fourty minutes.   After the third time on hold I admitted I gave it Adobe's recommended course of support and threw in the towel.
    Understandable that it costs the company less to have this support done for pennies on the dollar overseas, but what about the cost to the customer who is left dead in the water with no faith in getting any help and wastes time and energy?    I guarantee you could have five hundred people lined up for one technical support job in the united states who would stay awake nites to learn and master the program and be pleasant to talk to and give the customer a sense of value!   As it is now, I feel only less than worthless as a customer trying to support this product.
    Can't fix this problem, so going oldschool on it and load a fresh copy of the os.

  • Help installing Photoshop CS4 on aWin 8.1

    I have just received my new HP laptop with Windows 8.1
    I have installed Photoshop CS4, which does work BUT it causes the store and other apps to not work.
    Is thee some work around I can use?  Will CS4 actually work with Win8.1 ??
    Thanks.

    After I install CS4 all programs still work right.  But the Windows Apps Store and all apps shown do not work.  If I click on the Store app it appears to try to start the app but after a few seconds the screen returns to where it ws before I clickec on the Store app.
    I have re-installed windows twice now since that was the only way I could get the store and apps back working.  I have contacted the HP manufacturer and they did send me a process to follow to try to correct the installation problem, but that never solved the problem.

  • Help! Installed CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appeared!

    Hi! I recently installed the CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appears in 'Applications.' A lot of the files associated with Photoshop and In Design are on the computer, but not the programs themselves. I wonder if this has to do with the fact I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and In Design, but deleted them when I was ready to install CS4. They are no longer in trash.
    Thank you.

    If you deleted them by simply dragging them to the trash, then yes, that
    would explain it. Those application need to be uninstalled, not trashed.

  • 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

    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:
    http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/5006/screenshotcaf.jpg
    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.

  • Installing cs4 in Windows 7 Virtual machine

    Hello,
    I am having problems with AE and windows 7 64 bit. Ram preview isn't working / crashing AE I wanted to do a clean install on XP using Windows virtual machine. I unserstand it sounds stupid, but all I am trying to do is sync some effects to a soundtrack and it's not working and I am on a deadline.
    Has anyone installed these, I get an install error, Contact Adobe Support. not very helpful.
    Thanks,.
    David

    Yeah, but what do you expect? It's weekend and your scenario really isn't something people do every day. I would even guess that it's more of an issue with memory and keyboard handling settings in the VM rather than a flaw in the Adobe program. In any case, what's so bad about just installing CS4 in W7 itself or installing the CS5 trial? If you're on a deadline, it's certainly better to have some way of working and worrying about any side effects later than waiting for a solution to fall out of the sky...

  • I just bought a new computer and want to load in photoshop from the old one.  I have CS5.  Since CS5 was an upgrade I installed CS4 first, but now I can't figure out how to install the CS5 upgrade.  Any advice?

    How do I transfer photoshop from one computer to another?  I have CS5.  Since CS5 was an upgrade I installed CS4 first, but now I cannot figure out how to install the CS5 upgrade.  Any advice?

    No, but it may help the chances of a successful installation.

      Just as an aside - I have been getting messages on here from Adobe Admin saying that CS5 cannot be reinstalled because everything is now in the cloud and that for $350 I can buy CS6 to install on my new computer.  What?  Am I getting spammed on Adobe's site here?
    Where did you see that?
