I'm trying to install Illustrator 9.0 on my PC w/ Win 7.

It won't install; compatibility troubleshooting won't fix; worked before on this same computer! Any help for me?

Glenn,
You may need to run the computer in XP mode to install it (having failed in normal mode). Here is how:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
Once installed, you should be able to get it to run with the PC in normal mode as follows (first run):
1) RightClick the shortcut;
2) Click Properties;
3) Click Compatibility;
4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
5) Start AI9.
After that, you can just DoubleClick the shortcut to open.
Otherwise, search for Compatibility in the Windows Help and follow the instructions there.

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir.

    I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir. I have the CDROM for CS3 and want to download onto the Air. Tried copying the files via TimeMachine share but didn't work. Do I need to buy an external USB to download or is there another option?

    Adobe applications typically place files in all sorts of locations, so trying to install Illustrator from a TM backup or copying from another system is very difficult since you probably can't get all the files. You'll need either an external CD/DVD drive or another computer with a drive you can access, either for Remote Disk:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
    or if it's a Mac to make a disk image of the Illustrator installer CD which you can then copy to the MBA and run.

    Do you own Illustrator CS3?  An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

  • Trying to install Illustrator CS3 on Windows 8.1 and get error message-installer database is corrupt

    When I try to install Illustrator CS3 on a windows 8.1 machine and get the following error message. " Installer database is corrupt". Have tried rebooting computer etc. and still the same problem, any suggestions?

    BrianDany I am sorry you are facing difficulties installing Creative Suite 3 under Windows 8.1.  Windows 8.1 was not available during the time period which Creative Suite 3 was developed and the last updates released.
    I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log and possibly AMT3lib.log file for error messages which are preventing the installation.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4.  You are welcome to post any specific error messages which you discover to this discussion.

  • Trying to install Illustrator CS4 onto my new PC. Does not recognize serial number.

    Got a new PC last week.  Trying to reinstall Adobe Illustrator CS4. Put in disc... typed in the serial number as requested, but it is not recognized.  Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Looks like that the version of CS4 which we are installing is an upgrade, If yes you what is the previous qualifying version.
    Find the right product and enter the serial number in front of that and bingo it will start working!
    Hope it Helps

  • Illustrator CS5 Error on Windows 7 64 bit, Uninstalled Illustrator CS5, Tried Re-Installing Illustrator CS5 on same pc new error

    Hi,
    I have been using the Adobe Creative Suite CS5 for a few years and haven't had a problem.
    Recently, illustrator just would not open would get to initializing illustrator.exe and stay there. I tried uninstalling illustrator in the hopes it would fix it with a reinstall.
    I got the download file and when I tried to open in to reinstall, I get this error "The file archive part of Adobe Illustrator CS5 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Illustrator CS5. Please download all parts." I then tried to download the whole Creative Suite and same error message occurred. I am not sure what to do or if I should just uninstall the whole creative suite and start fresh (would rather not because I don't want to lose my preferences and presets).
    I am on Windows 7 64bit.
    If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Uninstalls do not affect user-defined prefs and other custom files, but of course it may be a good idea to back everything up. A reinstall may be the only way to fix this. The error occurs because something else has introduced a flaky entry in the installer database and it goes looking for some file from a source that no longer is available. run the cleaner tool and reinstall everything after you have secured your prefs.

  • Problems trying to install Illustrator CS3 on a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.2

    I'got a trial copy from Adobe and follow the installation procedure but it failed, being only installed the common resources but no the Illustrator itself. What to do?

  • Trying to install Illustrator trial version

    I have been attempting to install the trial version of Illustrator CS4 for a couple of hours.  It is telling me that it cannot install until I close all open programs, namely Adobe Bridge.  Adobe Bridge is  not open and I even restarted my computer to make sure of this.  However, it is still saying that installation cannot continue until Adobe Bridge is closed.  Has anybody had this problem?  What do I do?

    scrpbkr,
    You may try to use the CS4 CleanScript, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html.
    You may try to run the installation in safe mode, if applicable.
    If you still get the error, you may consider taking a turn with the CS3 installation, if any; it has its own CS3 CleanScript., http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html.
