How do I Install legacy plug-ins missing from Photoshop CS4?

How do I open a file I downloaded with legacy plug-ins for Photoshop CS4? I am trying to get back the plug-in "pattern maker," which was in earlier versions of Photoshop. The file downloaded to my hard drive as "PSAPCS4_optional_plug-ins.zip.." But WinZip won't extract or install the zip file. It gives an error. Can anyone help?

Your message:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Does not imply that there is any problem opening the zip file, but rather that the files cannot be copied to the location you are trying to copy them to because of a permissions problem.
Are you seeing different errors at different times?
Can you extract the files to another folder - e.g., one you have created in a folder of your own?
If so, you could then go into Edit - Preferences - Plug-ins and set Photoshop to look in YOUR folder for the plugins.

How do I install my plug-ins in Photoshop CS5 64bit

Can't seem to install my plug-ins that I have been using in Photoshop CS3 and CS4. Mediachance, Nik, onOne, Alien Skin, Photkit, Fluidmask, Fred Miranda, etc. They all work in CS3 in Win 7 Pro 64bit, but do not show in CS5.

I tried CS4 and CS5 on my old Hp (32bit). CS4 was OK, but nothing to write
home about. CS5 could not support my plug-ins as well as CS4, actions did
not work well in CS5. I ended up having to keep CS3 extended active. When
all else fails I use PS 7. Ended up dumping the entire CS4 Design Suite
Premium. As it turns out I should have dumped CS5 and Kept CS4 Active. I
do not like having to use the automate menu to access plug-ins that were in
the Filters Menu or added pull down menu bar (extensis/onOne menu bar).
Also do not like the very small text for the Pull Downs. CS5 apparently does
not support the onOne menu bar. I dumped CS5(64bit) later today. Installed
32Bit CS5. It’s a real shame I can not use the full performance features of
this performance laptop (Quad Core, 2GB discrete graphics, 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz,
SSD/Hybrid drives) with CS5. Had to process a photo shoot today and ended
up using DXO Optics Pro. Really very unhappy with CS5. The few
enhancements vs. the dysfunction of CS5 are not worth the cost. Sure glad I
did not go for the full Design Premium upgrade this time. The accumulated
cost/value of all my plug-ins by far exceed the value of the CS5 upgrade. I
just may go back to my Corel Apps on my MAC. Can not afford to purchase
(once again) all my Plug-ins. Nik , Alien Skin, and onOne are grossly
overpriced.
Sorry to RANT. Just not happy with CS4 and CS5. I have been using
Photoshop since the version 4 release. The best releases were PS7 and CS3

Web Photo Gallery Missing from Photoshop CS4

Has anyone else found this to be valuable feature that is no longer available? We used this feature regularly as a method for proofing our customers and I have found that the one that is included in Bridge is sorely lacking from the Photoshop version.
Has anyone found a solution or something that works similarly that is can be customized as deeply?

Just to let you know that I followed the instructions in the PDF. Here they are sightly re-edited by me:
To retore Web Photo Gallery functionality:
Close Photoshop and use Explorer to view the extra stuff on the CS4 install DVD.
Here's what you need to copy from the Photoshop CS4 install disk and where it goes:
1. copy "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Plug-ins 32-bit\Automate\WebContactSheetII" plug-in
to the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate" folder
(note there's a 64bit version in the Plug-ins 64-bit folder if that's what you're using)
in my case it goes into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\"
2. copy "Goodies\Presets\Web Photo Gallery" folder (the whole FOLDER)
into the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets" folder
I then have "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Web Photo Gallery\"
(This is the part that adds the default templates to choose from)
To add functionality to Bridge (xp and vista destination folders are a bit different):
3A (for Windows XP)
copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\
3B (for Vista)
copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop/"
copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
As you can see there's a bit of surgery to do. But if you're careful everything will work as before.
Hope this somewhat re-written 'how to" helps.

How do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5

how do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5 and or how to install these optional plugins thanks

To add to Mylenium's reply, here's how to do it on Windows and this is what microsoft website says:
Why do I have to be an administrator to install a program?
Only administrators can make changes that will affect everyone who uses the computer, such as installing software and hardware and changing security settings.
If the program you are trying to install or run says you must have administrator rights, but you are already an administrator on the computer, right-click the installation icon for the program, and then click Run as administrator. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If the program installs but does not run, right-click the program icon, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then try to run the program.

How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud? [was:Plug ins?]

How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud?

Contact the makers of your third party plugins and see if they have updates that work correctly with Photoshop CC 2014.
Also, make sure you ran the installers for the plugins instead of just copying them, since you may be missing necessary support files for the plugins.

How do I unblock Blocked Plug-ins?

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Safari. Now during some internet searches, the message "Blocked Plug-in" appears on my screen. This never happened before I installed the new version of Safari. How can I unblock all plug-ins?

I updated Flash and still have blocked plug ins - what now?

How do I reinstall Safari plug-ins?

How do I reinstall Safari plug-ins, for example, the Google Earth plug-in? Should I delete the old one first, or is it ok to just install on top of it?
I am having trouble with the Google Earth plug-in working.
thanks

Delete the old one first. However, if you just open the Extensions preferences in Safari you can click the Update button to download new updates if they are available.

None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

How could I install a plug in for Aperture?

how could I install a plug in for Aperture?

OK no installer, not nice but not fatal.
I assume you already downloaded the file from the web site. Locate it in the Download folder and double click it. That will extract the plug-in from the zip file.
Now the tricky bit. The Library folder in your Home folder is no longer visible in Lion (thanks Apple ) There are ways around this the easiest is to open Finder hold down the option key and select Go from the menu bar. Your Library folder will be visible in the list of folders shown. Select it.
You are now in the Library folder, select the Application Support folder and then select the Aperture folder. If you have no other plug-ins installed you will need to create the Plug-Ins folder, do that. In the Plug-Ins folder create the Export folder. That is where you will copy the plug-in to.
So open another Finder window locate the plug-in you extracted from the zip file and drag it to the Export folder. Restart Aperture and the plug-in should be visible in Aperture.
Good luck.
