Illustrator CS4 uninstall colour profile rollback error

I've been using the same version of CS4 since July with no problem until today. I clicked on my AI desktop shortcut to be presented with a new licence agreement popup. Clicked agree and window disappeared but Illustrator didn't start up.
I read some other forum discussions on this subject which suggested uninstall - re-install - reboot. I uninstalled all of CS4 but when I tried to re-install it comes up with an error message.
Adobe support advisor says:
Issue no: id18308
Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
I have since run through the suggest actions (deleting colour profiles and reassigning permissions) three times.
When I get to point 9 (Click OK in the "Advanced Security Settings" dialog box. Windows will now reset the permissions for each child object to correspond with its parent) I get the following permissions message "Registry editor could not set security in the key selected, or some of it's sub keys".
Is this why it's not working?
Would this also be why my pdf writer doesn't work?
Please help!!!
Edit: It seems Photoshop won't work either I need to uninstall and reinstall...great news as it was pre loaded.
Great work adobe!!

I fixed it eventually...sorry I meant to post a message.
I had to run clean script for CS3 and CS4 to completely remove all the components preventing the install.

I had little faith, but it worked. Hope this fixes it for you too.

  • Help! Kuler in Illustrator CS4 - changes colours completely

    Why is it that when I use the in-built Kuler extension in Illustrator CS4 the colour values are completely different when I "Add selected themes to swatches" to those on the Kuler website.
    As an random example, take this theme:  soothing by milolily   (http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/68960)
    Here's what the colours are on the Kuler website and what they end up being in the Swatch palette in Illustrator:
    R:52, G:97, B:107     --->     R:70, G:107, B:129
    R:52, G:21, B:54     --->     R:82, G:48, B:55
    R:123, G:137, B:156     --->     R:147, G:154, B:169
    R:14, G:22, B:51     --->     R:26, G:32, B:63
    R:160, G:189, B:140     --->     R:182, G:192, B:167
    Check out the screenshot to see how huge the difference is visually.
    I thought perhaps it was something to do with whether the Document Color Mode was set to RGB or CMYK but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
    Any ideas anyone??  It's driving me insane!
    Thanks

    It's because theme is saved in CMYK. The RGB values displayed in kuler website are as per the Web color conversion whereas Illustrator utililises their own conversion. If you notice, in CMYK documents, values are displayed correctly.
    Hope this resolves your doubt.

  • Illustrator CS4 Not Starting (no error messages)

    I'm running into a problem trying to run Illustrator CS4.  It has worked int he past, but I've gone a month or two without touching it. Yesterday I installed a trial version of Photoshop CS4, which ran fine.  Today I tried to start up Illustrator and I can't get the program running.
    Illustrator will startup and show the 'License Agreement' screen where you can accept or decline.  If I click on Accept the screen disappears and then nothing happens.  If I watch the processes on the task manager, I see that Illustrator is running, but it stops about 10 seconds after the agreement screen disappears.
    After searching the forums here, I've uninstalled Photoshop (thinking there was a conflict), uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator several times with no luck.  Taking suggestions from the forums and thinking that it might be licensing issues, I ran clean up tools and the license recovery tools, with no luck.  I even tried to move out some fonts even though it doesn't get that far.  I've gone in and tried deleting what preference files I could.  I even logged on as a different user to see if there was a corrupt file (no go).
    At this point I have no idea what's going wrong.  It simply doesn't start up and I have no errors (Are there log files that I'm missing somewhere?)  Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I'm at my wits end. :/
    Thanks

    But are you running with full administrative privileges? AI hanging after the l.a., is a pretty clear indicator that the respective signature/ lock files for the licensing system cannot be created. Log in as administsrator and try to launch AI. If it works, then AI should work again under any user account. alsop check, whether the licensing service actually launches. May similarly be a problem with the service (FNPlicensingservice.exe) not starting and thus no license file being created.

  • Colour Profiles missing in InDesign and Illustrator CS3

    Adobe CS3
    Mac 10.5.8
    Hi, I recently brought a new HP Printer (HP Photosmart B110) and installed the software for for it and all the colour profiles for the papers were visible in the drop down box (they were HP Premium Photo, HP Advance and HP Premium Plus Photo) but after updating the drivers they all vanished (see image for InDesign and Illustrator examples).
    I contacted HP and uninstalled all the HP software as well as deleting HP related files and then reinstalled the software again but the Colour Profiles were still not visible. I have contacted HP again and they have said that it's something to do with my Adobe software so I was wondering if anyone can help me with solving this problem?
    Thanks
    Chris

    HP is fond of pointing the finger at Adobe, and in fairness their drivers often don't work well with InDesign (HP printers account for the largest number of printer related problems on the forum by far, and I don't think it's just due to market share), but installing color profiles has NOTHING to do with any Adobe software. If the profiles were being installed properly by the HP installer, they's be in the system someplace (probably the colorsynch folder) and they'd be available to other programs even if Adobe apps didn't find them.
    If the HP low-level tech feeds you that "it's an Adobe problem" BS again, immediately ask to be escalated to someone who knows what they are talking about, and take names.

  • Error loading photoshopimport.aip plugin in Illustrator CS4

    Hello, I'm currently using Illustrator CS4 and just updated my Mac to OS X Yosemite.  After installing the new software, I've got some bugs with Illustrator.  Namely, upon opening the program, I get the message "Error loading plugins". The plugin in question is "photoshopimport.aip".  I'm not sure if this is related to the next issue - I'm no longer able to open .tif files in Illustrator and says that they are "an unknown format and cannot be opened".  I have uninstalled and re-installed all Adobe programs, but I still get the same error messages.
    Naturally, most of the work I do is in Illustrator with .tif files.  Can anyone offer some help with these problems?  Is this a case of the new OS X and CS4 having compatibility issues?  Am I going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade to a newer version of Adobe?  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    CS4 was - I don't know - 5 years ago?
    In the meantime Apple has changed the development platform (you need software to develop other software) at least once. It would be kind of an effort to update all the old code. You first need to port it to the new development platform then update what doesn't work then go through all the testing etc. etc.
    Kind of like the old yearbook you did back in the days in Quark XPress 3 and now that you have long switched to InDesign they ask you to dig that up to change some of the images and fix those 7 typos in the articles. I mean why do you charge that much for it, should be done in 20 minutes.

  • Illustrator CS4 install error: Color EU settings

    Hi everyone,
    I've been trying to install Illustrator CS4 for the past few days, I have updated my DirectX and all my VGA drivers in hopes of getting it to work.
    Every time I try, I end up with this error message:
    "Error:
    Error 1603. Error 1714.The older version of Adobe Color EU Extra Settings CS4 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
    What on earth is this Adobe Color EU extra settings? Any chance I can delete them manually??
    Here are my PC specs:
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
    RAM: 2GB
    Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+
    VGA: Nvidia Asus EN7600GS 512mb (with latest drivers and DirectX 10)
    Free Disk space on Install drive: 12GB
    Oh well, I hope somebody here know whats going on..
    Cheers,
    Ahsu

    Color Profile information installed by a previous version of Adobe programs. Check C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color and C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color, but before dig into the install log to exactly find out what it is trying to delete. It's located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers and either ends with *.log or *.log.gz. There should be a mention of "Failure" regarding the deletion of the files in question somewhere in it.

  • Error 2 installing Illustrator CS4 from Web Premium

    I've just spent a couple of hours trying to get Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium completely installed on my work PC (the University of St Andrews, UK) using the volume licence key but I get an error when installing it.  It says "Done, with errors".  When I click on "More Information" I get a message saying:
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
    Error:
    Error 2.
    and sure enough, everything works apart from Illustrator CS4.  I read elsewhere on the forums (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2415634#2415634) about a solution, but I didn't fully understand the steps required.
    I'm using an absolutely clean installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (just has Windows 7, Office 2007 Professional and now Adobe CS4 Web Premium.  It's installed with English (United Kingdom) region settings.
    When I run the Adobe Support Advisor it says:

    Error UninstallColorProfilesRollback occurs preventing the installer from updating existing color profiles when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
    Click here to read the Knowledge Base article
    System Information :
    Operating System = Windows 7 Professional

    I followed the advice there, but the registry information didn't exist ("Right-click PDF Admin Settings and choose Permissions.") so I couldn't pursue that route.
    When I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS4 it said that it was using "English (International)".  It still doesn't work.
    Any advice would be gratefully received.  Or how can I contact Adobe about this directly?
    Thanks

    Hi Scott. 
    It was not that I was unwilling to Archive and Install... I didn't catch that in your initial response and that's why I called Apple... because I did understand that the user account was corrupt.  Apparently Apple is not aware of the Archive and Install fix either because that was not recommended.  I am sure if it was a common fix, they would have told me about it.  So, now that you have further explained how Archive and Install work, I am sure that information will be very helpful to someone else with the exact same problem.  This problem, for your information, is not uncommon as I found the question many times in my quest to get an answer... so there is indeed an issue that needs to be resolved.  Installing this software should have been just as easy as it was to install all the other software on my computer. 
    I know someone will find your response, in its entirety, very helpful.  Again, thank you for your time.
    Take care,

  • Illustrator CS4 unknow  error message

    Hello
    I am working on PC, Windows 7, Illustrator CS4 , and since few days this message appears each time I try to open a file :
    "an unknow error has occured".
    I have re loaded  Illustrator but the problem is still here.
    What can I do ?
    Thank you

    koukleve,
    Is it only one file (which may be corrupted), or all files?
    If it applies to all files, you have already been through 1) on the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • How do I correct error 148.3 for Illustrator CS4?

    How do I correct error 148.3 in order to open Illustrator CS4?

    Gen,
    I am afraid error 148.3 has never been reported here, so quite possibly no one will know what it is about.
    Unless someone comes up with a cleverer suggestion, you may have a look at this general list of things to try(of which 5) may be the least likely to help).
    You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

  • Illustrator CS4 error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"

    I am working on a Mac 10.10 Yosemite with Adobe Illustrator CS4 however every time I try to open Illustrator it brings up error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip". I can't click on the OK button and the only thing I can do is force quit the application. How do I solve this problem so I can work on my files again?

    I have found the solution in another forum that finally seems to have worked!
    The last comment I haven't yet experienced as I quit photoshop and was still able to open illustrator without problems and without the help of photoshop afterwards.
    But happy for now that this works.
    OK, had the same issue, found a work around, not a fix.
    1     Force quit Illustrator.
    2     Start Photoshop CS4
    3     Start Illustrator CS4
    4     when you get the alert popup, with Photoshop now open, it allows me to click on "don't show again", and click "OK"
    5     quit Photoshop
    Now Illustrator should continue to work so long as it is open.
    Illustrator will continue to freeze on start unless you 1st open Photoshop.

  • How do you change default greyscale colouring of graphs in illustrator CS4

    I've been trying to format graphs in illustrator CS4 and can't figure out how to change the defualt colour from Greyscale to be a swatch of my own choice without having to change it manually once the data is entered.
    Is there a way of changing the settings? This is driving me nuts!!!

    You really can't but you can recolor the chart using a color group you define.
    Describing in written words how the recolor art feature  works is not practical for me so it is by a movie
    http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/recolor.mov
    BTW if you want the colors to be the value of one color just make a color group of one color and apply it or choose a one color job from the drop down.
