I can't install Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended at all

I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (Trial Version) from the Adobe.com website through Akamai downloader. Well, i tried to install it clicking on the set up, but it started to install and a few minutes later stopped and displayed a error message. The message, without error code identifications, just informed that there was an error during the instalation and Adobe bridge and another one could not be installed.
I tried again and it started, but when it was almost finishing another message appeared warning that "there was an error during the instalation(again no code error identification) and that Photoshop could not be installed.
I follow some tips like shutting down the firewall, AV,  but it didn't work. I used the system restoring so that i could completely clean up remaining files and tried to reinstall it, but again nothing.
Has anybody any idea?
Thanks

There is a difference between being the Administrator on the computer and right-clicking on the Setup file and choosing "Run as Administrator".
I know that John, when i said that i usually run the system as administator, i meant that i logged on as administrator. Sorry if i caused a misunderstood.
I decided to format the computer again. Perhaps, some problem during the system instalation may have caused this problem. After that, i'll try to install it and see what's gonna happen. I've decided to do it because If it is caused by an instalation error of the main system, it may  also cause hassles when using other softwares. But if it is not caused by an instalation error i'll come back to get help.
Thanks for responding

  • Can I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended on my brand new iMac? I had PS on my old Mac using the student licensing.

    About four years ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended while I was in undergrad. I downloaded it to my Mac. Since then, I've purchased a brand new iMac. Can I use this same software? I know it's been four years so the software is very updated, AND my new iMac does NOT have a cd drive. This may all be in vain. I'm just clueless! Thanks!

    Emalexander89 you are welcome to install Photoshop CS4 on your new Mac.  You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.

  • I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and an error occurs.

    I am trying to install the above program and Error 30: The system cannot read from the specified device.  My DVD drive works so I don't understand why it is not finishing the install.  Then on my programs it says that I have Adobe Photoshop CS4.  Any ideas?

    This may do better posted in the Photoshop forum.

  • Is there a store in HongKong where you can buy Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended?

    Um... Does anyone know where in HongKong I can buy Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended? And how much does it cost there?

    I would think that Adobe would have a list of authorized re-sellers. If not, then contact their International Sales Dept., and inquire. That should get you a list.

  • Deploying Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended over Network - issue

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping anyone can help me with this issue that has plagued me for a few weeks! First of all, here's the details I have:
    * Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended - downloaded media from Adobe website
    * Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit - again, downloaded from Adobe website
    * Installing to Windows XP with SP3
    I ran Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit and set it up including our Volume Licensing key and it output some files including the XML files. I double clicked the AdobeUberInstaller.exe file and it got installed without any issue.
    However, when I ran it as silent install via our SMS, it always get stuck at Adobe AIR install with the install log from
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Photoshop CS4 11.0 09-02-2009.log
    with this at the end of the log file:

    Checking bootstrapper progress
    and so on, with no end in sight.
    I have left it more than hour. I also have left it all day, the log file is always full of it. I even "told" Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit not to install Adobe AIR and it still tries to install it anyway. I checked the AdobeUberInstaller.xml file and it has <Action>donotinstall</Action> marked for Adobe AIR. So I'm not even sure why it's trying to install it.
    This happens on a PC that has Adobe AIR installed. I tried on another PC where it doesn't have Adobe AIR installed and I still get the same thing.
    I'm running out of ideas how to get this to work and this is why I'm here to seek further help from you... help?
    Has anyone seen this issue before and if so, what was the fix to get it to work?
    Many thanks,
    Tony Sutton

    Hi all,
    I received this e-mail from Adobe, so I thought I'd share this with you all for future ref.
    Air needs to contact Adobe to get a certificate.   I would recommend not installing this as part of the suite and push out seperately.  At any rate, if you AIR remotely, you will need to set the proxy to allow for the certification process.  The other option might to create a snapshot of Air with the certificate already in place. 
    Here is KB article on it   http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408168.html
    Thanks all.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended - Trial Version Expired

    Can someone help me please. I have searched the forums but I cannot find a solution.
    I installed the Photoshop CS4 extended trial which expired a few weeks ago. In the meantime I have purchased a copy of Photoshop CS4 (Standard not Extended). I completed removed the trial but I am unable to installed the purchased copy. I am getting the trial expired serial input screen.
    I have also tried the unistall with REVO but this has not made any difference.
    I have tried to use the Adobe cleanup but I dont think its worked properly. I am running Windows 7 Operating System.
    I have uninstalled/installed photoshop 5 times now and its driving me mad

    There is no problem such as you describe.  If you buy a legitimate standard edition license, you can enter that serial number and the trial version will be activated as the standard edition.
    Where did you get this copy of Photoshop CS4?
    If not directly from Adobe, there's a chance you were scammed and your serial number isn't valid at all.  Photoshop is heavily pirated.

  • Adobe Photoshop cs4 extended invalid serial number

    I just bought adobe photoshop cs4 extended from a large retail computer store.I had the trial version of photoshop cs4 extended.I uninstalled the trial version and installed from dvd.I got a Invalid serial number error.I am sure there was a software configuration problem .The reason ,the disk needs to verfy that you have the original disk,If that happens ,After installation ,Just delete this file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db This is the location where it installed the serial . After deleteing it will create a new cache.db file and store the serial there that goes with that disk . When you open PS cs4 it will ask to enter serial again.Just enter the serial again that came with box ..I guess this would work also with adobe photoshop cs4

    I encountered the same problem with Photoshop CS5 - I had the trial version installed, and now bought the extended version, but it keeps saying the license key is invalid.  I did unistall, ran the cleanup tool, but it is still not working.  Any help is appreciated.

  • Install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Mac

    I have been trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 onto my MacBook Pro (2009 version) and it doesn't automatically popup to install. So i transferred the files to my "Application" on my mac. When i try to click on "Setup" an unreadable script appears. What do I do?? How can i get this to download??

    This indicates that you have a Windows version of the software.  This is why you are not able to install on your Macintosh.  Since Creative Suite 6 is the current version of the software you can either upgrade to Creative Suite 6, and choose the Mac platform, or possibly subscribe to the Creative Cloud which is multi-platform.  You can find more details on the Creative Cloud at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html.

  • Can't Activate ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4 UPG

    Hello,
    I have been using Photoshop ever since version 7 (having switched over from Corel's software, used previously for about 10 years) and had success with it.
    I upgraded to ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE when it became available through the Adobe upgrade option and used that with equal pleasure.
    In 2010 I upgraded to ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4, again by means of an upgrade version with no trouble.
    I have switched to a newer, faster computer last week, but I have been unable to re-install my Photoshop CS4 on my new computer because I am not able to activate the program.
    When I tried to install the program it refused to activate based on the serial number of my Creative Suite, stating that it was not a valid serial number for this product.
    I have successfully installed this product in the past, more than once, using that same CS serial number with no problem arising until now.
    I am requesting your assistance to get back to being able to use ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4, which after all I did purchase in good faith.
    I am now retired and living on a fixed income which does not allow me the flexibility to purchase replacement software indiscriminately and I really need your help to solve this problem.
    Please advise me of a solution or a workaround so that I can still use my software.
    Thank you very much for your kind assistance.

    it's not clear in your post, but it appears you may own a stand-alone ps version (cs4) and some creative suite version.
    if your ps cs4 is part of a suite, you need to use the suite installation files and suite serial number.  if your ps cs4 is a stand-alone, you need to use the stand-alone ps cs4 installation files and stand-alone serial number.

  • I'm trying to process RAW file images from my SanDisk memory card on Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and am unable to do so. Which level Adobe Photoshop do I need to process SanDisk images?

    I'm trying to process RAW images from my new SanDisk Ultra memory card and unable to do so. I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, is this the right one or do I need to update?

    …and you absolutely have to specify the camera model that generated those raw image files.

  • I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7?

    I have a laptop that is running on Windows 7 and I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS4. It downloads the program file alright but when I click on the Set Up button it says "Cannot install Please click quit below" and then below it there are two bullet points that say:
    -Adobe Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 - Adobe Photoshop CS4 not installed
    -Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit) 11.0.1 - Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit) not installed
    What exactly is going on? I tried running the set up in a different compatibility mode (e.g. Windows XP and Windows Vista) but no luck.
    Am I even clicking the correct file in the folder? Or is my computer just not going to work with Adobe Photoshop CS4?

    These are merely the updates. You need to instasll the base program first.
