I installed CS4 Web Premium, do I need to uninstall CS2? (I don't have CS3) If so, how?

I thought the installer would just upgrade my existing CS2 apps but after I installed CS4, I saw that all the CS2 apps were still there! Do I need to uninstall them manually? If so, how? Is there any danger in doing that? Or should I uninstall CS4 then uninstall CS2, then reinstall CS4???? Thanks much for any advice/help!

Karen,
No. This is a full-version upgrade, meaning that it is a complete installation, independent of any past versions installed. Both versions can coexist and can be used.
But if you double-click on a file to launch the application, the most recent version prevails. If you prefer to have the older version default (for the current work session), launch it first, then double-click on the files to work on them.

Install CS4 web premium on a new computer without "old product/serial number" that I need to validate this copy?

I am trying to install CS4 web premium on a new computer and have the serial number/date of purchase for this product, but at the start of installation it wants an old product previously installed and what that serial number is. There's a chance it's on some old computer in a box, but I haven't seen / used a product besides CS4 in years (purchased in 2011) and don't know how I can put it on this new computer & get back to using it without knowing this mystery serial number? Thanks for your help & suggestions

It appears you purchased an upgrade version of CS4 and if so you are required to prove that you qualify for using it. This means you need to identify the old version and its serial number - no way around that. You will need to find that mystery version information. If you check your Adobe account online you might find it.

Cannot install CS4 Web Premium

I am having problem in installation CS4 Web Premium in my Windows Vista x64 Ultimate. I will get Internet Explorer SCript Error:
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file://C:/Users/xxxxx/AppData/Local/Temp/ahmbedAlter.html
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Yes/No
I can't do anything once this happened. Tried to Yes or No will not help. After clicking many times, a dialog box will come up for follow up action (like to quit?) but there is no OK or Cancal or whatever button. I have to use Task Manager to kill the installation program.
I have tried to search for installation script error but none seems to be the same as mine. I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Re-installing CS4 web premium

Hello all,
I have a new macbook pro and used the migration asisstant to transfer files and software from the old to the new computer. Unfortunately, the Adobe CS4 wouldn't load. When I clicked on the icon to enter the code, it crashed over and over. So I thought I would re-install the software. I downloaded it from the Adobe downloads page and ran the installer but it doesn't install the software. The CS4 option is grayed out. I tried uninstalling and then ran the installer again but the same thing occurred. Help?
Thanks

Run the Adobe Cleaner Tool
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then re-install CS4. You'll need your CS4 serial number.

Migration never works for Adobe software. It must be installed.

I upgraded my computer from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional and I am attempting to install CS4 Web Premium.

I downloaded the latest CS4 from the support site and installed, entering my registration number. Installation seemed to go well but when I try to open Photoshop, I get a message that there are some files missing in the application folder and I must reinstall. I've done this about 3 times now. Can someone help?

Data Base is corrupt message when Installing CS4 web premium unto new computer

Just purchased a new HP desktop running Win7-64bit and when attempting to load CS4 I keep getting an error message indicating that "Installer data base is corrupt", and to contact Adobe Customer Service. I already have it installed in another HP DT running Win7 64bit so I don't believe the new machine could be the problem... any suggestions?

I'm having a very similar issue and it seems to me that absolutely no one knows anything about this and/or are willing to help. They've given me some advice but nothing has helped and when I ask more questions for specifics they won't respond.

Flash will not install from CS4 Web Premium on XP

I installed CS4 Web Premium a while back and, since I do not do a lot of Flash development, I didn't realize right off that Flash CS4 did not install. However, I just tried to go back and install it from the DVD and it shows in the list but the box in front of it is uncheckable. The heading at the top says to check the boxes to install or reinstall the applications. Other programs such as Dreamweaver, Contribute, Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. can be checked but the box in front of Flash (and Soundbooth, etc.) are unresponsive. I do still have CS3 Web Premium on this machine which has Flash CS3 Professional and Flash CS3 Video Encoder as well as also still having Studio 8 and CS 2 with Flash 8 and Flash 8 Video encoder and InDesign CS2 & CS3, Visual Communicator, VlogIt, etc.. Do I need to remove any of those first? This machine is about 3 years old (Dell Optiplex GX620) running Win XP. I'm about to upgrade to a new machine in about a month that will be running Windows 7. So I will be doing a clean install of CS4 Web Premium then. But it would be nice to fix this so I can work on some Flash files before then. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I'm assuming you are using the Manual Install. Did you already Uninstall any current Flash Player version?
If not, download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Use the EXE Installer for Windows and Internet Explorer. Use the EXE Installer for the plugin based browsers
Then use the Administrator Account and CLOSE all browser Windows. Disable any instant messenger service from the system tray.
Run the Uninstaller and reboot(restart) your computer.
Then Run the Installer and reboot.
That message appears because the IE browser window is open.
Thanks,

CS4 Web Premium Installation "Installer Database Corrupt. Contact Adobe Customer Service."

I need help.
I just purchased a HP Envy 23 running Windows 8. It came with Adobe Premiere and Elements 11 already installed.
I own Lightroom 3, which I installed very quickly and easily.
I own CS4 Web Premium with the serial number at hand. I insert the disk 1 to install and the error message appears: "Installer Database Corrupt. Contact Adobe Customer Service." After serveral attempts, I resort to researching on this forum.
In the forum, found here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1238032 I was asked to go the linked website and download and specifically follow the instructions to install CS4 from the internet. I did what I was told as closely as possible.
I received the same error message: "Installer Database Corrupt."
I asked if I needed to uninstall Elements 11 before trying to install CS4 but haven't received a response. Actually, now Adobe won't let me sign on with my password and when I request for a new one it doesn't send me a confirmation email so I have resorted to making a new username.
I called Adobe about the issue with the error and was directed back here to the forum because they do not have phone service support for CS2, CS3, CS4, or CS5 because it is "old" technology. I am loosing lots of work time because I can't seem to get a quick response to my questions here on the forum.
I found another forum saying that I need to rename the file "caps.db." to "xcaps.db" and it will install just fine. I did what it said, looking for any and every folder in both premiere and elements to rename anything that began with "caps" After doing so, I still got the error message.
What I need to know is:
1. How can I install CS4 Web Premium either by disk or internet without getting an error.
2. Must I totally uninstall Elements and Premiere to get CS4 installed? I really don't want to do that since I paid for them with the purchase of my computer.
I'd really like some answers. Thanks.

You're going to need to be more specific about what I am supposed to do because I'm very unfamiliar with computer lingo. I don't know what an OEM is and I am unsure about these backup disks you are referring to. The expertise on this forum is the only lifeline I have to fixing this Adobe issue so I really want to try my best here to get things resolved. I've not heard of deleting caps.db and haven't heard of anything to do with medai.db files before. I'm supposed to delete these instead of renaming caps?

Right proceedure for reinstalling Dreamweaver (CS4 Web Premium)

I may have to reinstall my Win 7 Pro system due to a number of little quirks that are popping up. Same PC ...same HDD etc. I do have an image backup...but not from as early as I would like to go. Thinking a clean install would be best.
What is the best way to do this so I don't lose/or invalidate my current activation of Web Premium CS4 ?
Thanks much...TR

Thanks John...just to be clear...should one "deactivate all CS4 programs in the suite or will deactivating 1 deactivate all installed CS4 Web Premium apps ?

Existing Kompozer Website but Wish to Move Over To CS4 Web Premium

Hopefully, i am in the right place to ask these questions. I'm a real novice but we needed a web presence and tried a hand at Kompozer. With no prior experience, or training actually managed to get something up. The site has only a single page at the moment with two external link buttons. But now we would like to turn to CS4 Web Premium as our needs have grown. I have read and watched any number of tutorials and some say, Download the Existing (Remote) site using an FTP program such as Filezilla and then edit it Locally.
I am under the impression you don't actually need to use Filezilla, or another FTP with CS4 Web Premium, as it has a built in FTP feature? Is this correct? Can someone please educate me and hold my hand and walk me through this process?
I've downloaded my entire site to my desktop from a Backup provided by the hosting site. I'm not sure if this is what I need for an edit.
The hosting site gave/gives the option to download The Entire Site, or just certain folders but being "green" I wasn't sure about this option.
OTOH, (Since I am confident all is not perfect) If I were to start from scratch can I design A New Site Locally while the Kompozer built site stays up and then simply replace the current site with the New CS4 created one? Can I configure CS4 to Publish the changes from the existing file names and settings?
For example my current site is comprised of a single folder (on my desktop) containing 6 items total; An index.html, 4 individual jpg images and a single favicon ico (which i did upload separately as Kompozer didn't want to cooperate at the time. Admittedly I'm not even sure what FTP program I resorted to in effort to get it done . . I don't have a separate folder for Images etc, Everthing is just in one folder all together at the moment.
I'm a little concerned I might delete a file that was there when I first set up the web hosting before I actually uploaded anything at all.
My web hosting provider (Blue Host) said, Where Dreamweaver Asks What Folder on The Server Do You Want To Store Your Files In? The Path you put in is Public_html and provided a link to a tutorial but it seems it is for a New Site as opposed to editing an existing one.
PS. I confess my vocabulary comes from reading the glossary of terms
A genuine and most sincere Thank You in advance for any assistance, suggestions and learned Tips.
I know we all have to start somewhere in effort to learn.. Please be gentle with me.

I would recommend leaving your company website on the server for now until you have created your new one :-)
On most servers, public_hmtl is the folder where all the files reside to make the website 'live'. That's the name of the folder I have to upload all my website files to on my server as well.
Without seeing the code produced by Kompozer, and guessing it is a WYSIGWYG editor, then I'd strongly suggest that you start from new :-) Seeing as you only have one page at the moment, it won't be a monumental task to start over.
I'll supply you with a few tutorials found at the Adobe site that will help you get started, in particular - a tut on working with DW templates., which will be the answer for you if you have more than one page but up to 10 for example, if it's going to be much larger site, then using Server Side Includes may be the way to go.
This is the one you should probably read through first:

CS4 Web Premium & Extension Manager

HI,
This should be an easy one for you. It's just a quick question.
I currently have DW 8 and will be installing CS4 Web Premium.
Before I do I would like to know if the DW extensions that I have purchased and installed will be removed once I install CS4?
If so, what should I do to save my extensions?
That's it.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem and the same questions about Adobe's licencing strategy.

Cs4 web premium on windows 2000 sp4

Hi all,
I had to install cs4 web premium on a win 2000 server as my development box. During installation I got "unsupported configuration - ..this software requies winxp sp2 or later. please upgrade or adjust your system to meet these minimum requirements...".
How can I adjust the system?
Regards,
Sean

Creative Suite 4 requires at least Windows XP for installation. The adjustment in this case is to do a clean install of Window XP (or later, including Windows Vista or Windows 7) and then install CS4.

CS3 Web Premium to CS4 Web Premium student upgrade

Hello,
I recently (yesterday) upgraded from CS3 web premium to CS4 web premium. I deactivated and uninstalled the CS3 first. I am now trying to open my files from the server in Dreamweaver with no luck.
What is happening is,it goes through the download process and when done all it shows is a blank HTML page with nothing on it. It is a little frustrating to say the least. Have I done something wrong? I would have thought the upgrade would be seamless.
Thanks for any and all help.

Try using a free FTP program like FileZilla ( http://filezilla-project.org/ ) and see if you can get the files from your server that way. Then once on your hard drive create the site using Dreamweaver and begin editing that way. If the files download from an external client with nothing in them you may have to restore a back up of your site.

How do I install the Content DVD in CS4 Web Premium?

I can't find anything about this on the forum. Sorry if it has been asked before (I know it's a very basic question), but can anyone tell me how I install the Content DVD in CS4 Web Premium, please? This is the DVD that contains the PDF manuals, Fonts and samples / tutorials for Fireworks and Photoshop.
The first two DVDs (Application 1 and 2) installed automatically, and then went straight to the Registration page without prompting me to insert any further DVDs. All of the software from the first two DVDs seems to have installed correctly.
However, when I insert the third DVD (Content), it will not auto-run. I see ut contains an "autorun.inf" file that references a program called "autoplay.exe", but the latter isn't present on the DVD. Could this be the problem?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Cutomer support on this issue is attrocious.
Here is what I asked them:
"Can you please tell me how to install the Content DVD in CS4 Web Premium? This is the DVD that contains the PDF manuals, Fonts and s

All very polite, but totally useless. They clearly haven't understood a word I said.

I installed CS4 Web Premium, do I need to uninstall CS2? (I don't have CS3) If so, how?
