InDesign CS4 Trial Installation

I just downloaded (for the 3rd time at about 1 hour dowload time each) the trial version of InDesign CS4 and it will not execute.  The setup file is either corrupt or incomplete, because I get an error message that the setup file is incomplete or missing.  I followed the instructions that after the dowload there awould be 2 files:  an .exe file and a .7z file.  The .7z file is to download 100% before launching the .exe file.  The .7z file downloads with the no problem, but when you try to execute the .exe file I get an error message.
Any suggestions?  I tried calling Adobe, but unless you are a "paying customer", i.e. not trial version, they cannot help you.
Thanks and Frustrated!
True

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. I've only done the download once,  and if memory serves running the exe is supposesed to unpack the installer and deployment folders, which I seem to have done in a sufolder of the directory where I stored the .7z file and .exe. Burning them to a disk will not work -- they need to be on your hard drive.
What size is the downloaded .exe file that you have?

  • Problem with German InDesign CS4 Trial

    Since the last week im trying to use the Adobe InDesign CS4 Trial Version on my Computer but i does not work really. I have downloadet the German Version but after the installation it runs in Englisch and the Toolbars on the left and the right side are missing. Before i'm using the CS3 Version at the same Computer and it works perfekt. I tried the CS4 Trial on an different Computer in our office and it works perfekt but this Computer have Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
    I read in the System requirements that Vista 64bit is not zertified but why does the CS3 work perfekt and the CS4 make those Problems?
    I hope anybody can held me......
    My Computer:
    Windows Vista business 64bit
    PHENOM Quad Core 2,4Ghz Prozessor
    8 GB RAM
    ATI Fire GL Grafic Card

    Thank you for suggesting workaround #1!
    I have been struggling with bookmarking issues for years here on CS4.  I am not bookmarking text frames, simply bookmarking pages, but I have been having problems as described.  I thought I researched it thoroughly online, but I was so relieved to find and try this option today.
    I have a 50 page InDesign price book.  Every page is bookmarked.  After exporting as a PDF some of the bookmarks work fine and some take me to the wrong page.  In InDesign CS4, I can click through the bookmarks and everything works as expected.  Every bookmark takes me to the page I assigned it to...perfect! However, once exported as a PDF I have issues.  In Preview (Mac OS 10.8) or Adobe Reader, some bookmarks are fine and some direct me to the incorrect page.  I tried Adobe Reader thinking maybe the issue was with Preview, but not only is the problem with both programs--they error consistently.  The bookmarks take me to the same incorrect page in both Preview and Reader.
    Exporting as a INX file and reimporting into InDesign CS4 is the only way I have been able to get this to work.  I originally switched to InDesign for two reasons:  1.  I was experiencing the same problem in Adobe Acrobat when assigning bookmarks so I hoped using another program would help.  2.  I am rebuilding the price book page by page in InDesign.  (Some pages just pull from a PDF document and some are original--created in InDesign CS4.  Eventually all pages will be InDesign original files.  I'm not sure those details matter, but that is what I have for content in my document.)
    Thank you!  Thank you!  I really appreciate that you took the time to suggest this for the rest of us!  I can finally distribute a correctly bookmarked price book to our reps.

  • Slow installation for indesign CS4 trial

    I have downloaded the trial issue for indesign cs4 and try to install it on my PC, it is really slow, it is about 10 hours now and the install progression is only at "Adobe Output Module", it is about 25% of the total installation if I look at progress bar.
    My computer is an Acer Aspire 7720, Intel core duo, cpu 2 GHz, RAM 3 Go and 250 Go of Hard drive.
    I have followed the instruction to disabled the Antivirus program and Firewall too. So how to speed up this install, it is the first time I encountered that kind of problem.

    User Access Control and Pain In The Arse.
    There's something going on with the system if the profile check is taking two hours. How much free space is left on the hard drive?
    Is there some sort of minimum-required configuration you can boot to, similar to running MSconfig in XP and turning off startup programs and non-Microsoft services? It really sounds like there is still something running in the background that is conflicting. You are certain that anti-virus is not running? I'd also be sure that no browser toolbars are loaded, nor any instant messenger or music programs, and have a local printer, rather than a network printer, set as the default and online.

  • Photoshop CS4 Trial  installation asking for disc again and again

    I had to uninstall my Creative Suite CS3 because of licensing problems. Then I could not reinstall it on Vista Home Premium SP2 ("unsupported OS").
    Now, as long as I am waiting for Adobe to respond to my case, I tried to install CS4 Trial versions of PS and DW, so I can go on working.
    But:
    Whether I install them from a HDD or from a CD/DVD, it always asks me to insert the disc again into the related drive. Of course it is already in - installation has to be aborted.
    I am very hesitant to purchase the CS4 upgrade, since it seems that after their huge hassle with the CS3 suite they still haven't their product installation problems fixed.
    Anybody had fixed this?
    Thanks
    Matt

    Hi dec9 and the_wine_snob,
    Have tried all these too, and went a bit further with copying the folder to the desktop, but it also ended with a fatal.
    Since the origin of my trouble is the endless hassle with my CS3 Suite installation, I ordered a CS4 Premium Web Trial and see if that installs.
    Don't want to risk paying for another uninstallable product.
    Before I install that, I will:
    - uninstall all Adobe products
    - including all flash versions that might still be lingering around
    - run the CS3 cleaner
    - clean and defrag the drive
    - brush my teeth
    -... anything else?
    Thanks
    Matt

  • Finishing an Indesign CS4 Silent Installation

    Hi, I'm successfully able to do an unattended installation of InDesign CS4.  However, after completion, the command-line window just sits there and stares at me with the exit code.  Is there any way so that the command-line window will close automatically?  This is going to be a part of a package installation and I need it to close out so that it moves to the next component (InCopy CS4).  Thanks in advance.

  • InDesign CS4 Trial Download Error

    So I spend 10 hours downloading the trial version to Adobe Indesign CS4. It downloads fine and I'm set to install. As I install, it goes about halfway, to the Adobe NA Color Settings, when a popup comes and says that Adobe Setup has encountered a problem and needs to stop.
    Any clues on WTH happened?
    I'm running Windows Vista, Home Edition, Verion 6.0 with SP1.
    I've tried installing it with firewalls down, in simplified mode, with interenet connected and not connected.
    Frankly, I am at a lost to what is up.
    I really need Indesign for school and was planning to buy it after I installed the trial version. But the trial won't even install properly.
    Any help would be nice

  • Premiere CS4 Trial installation error

    Hello,
    Whenever I try to install the Premiere CS4 trial on Vista Ultimate I get an error dialog at the Loading Setup window that says critical errors were found in setup please see the setup log file for details. Then the installer exits after hitting OK. Any ideas where this setup log resides so I can try to figure out what the problem is?
    Thanks,

    O.K. I found the error log and following are some excerpts from the log that mention errors. It does not help me at all. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

  • DreamWeaver CS4 trial installation fails

    I've got a GoLive9 full Version from my provider which I
    could not install.
    So I downloaded the german Dreamweaver CS4 Trial. I deleted
    everything on my drives AND registry looking bit like
    "dreamweaver"and "golive". Did use utilities and searched by hand.
    I started the setup.exe from the download. Unzipping seemed to
    work. I found the folder on the desktop (731 MB (766.547.466 Bytes)
    // (19.569 Files / 158 folders). The istallation started
    automaticly. After that the behavior is exactly the same for
    GoLive9 and CS4: Setup starts "initialisation", comes to about 90%.
    For a very short time a screen pops up (I cannot catch it, even
    with a CamCorder in front of the sceen) and the installation
    freezes. I have to kill the process manually.
    None of the other posts here fits to this problem. Anything I
    can check or information I could give (log-files if existing ?)

  • Installing Indesign CS4 Trial Version

    I am trying to download the trial version of Indesign CS4, when I get it downloaded and try to launch it says opening adbeidsncs4_LS1.dmg it goes through but when it is complete a screen pops up that says 'the following disk images failed to mount--abdesidsncs4_LS1.dm invalid checksum. But if I don't let it complete the screen that says opening abdeidsncs4_LS1.dmg if I open Indesign it will work but there is no tool bar. I have tried to uninstall it and re-install it but it is still doing the same thing.

    Two possibilities come to mind.
    First, the download was damaged and you should try downloading the trial again.
    Second, you are installing a non-US English localized version. There are known issue with these versions. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408055.html

  • CS4 trial Installer.!! HELP!!

    Before I reformat my PC (windows xp), I succesfully installed the CS4 trial on it. But, when I reformatted, I can't install it anymore
    So, I downloaded another one, but it still doesn't work. I can't find the answer for my problem in the customer support so I decided to ask here in the forum.
    The installer opens, but when it is starting to install the components, it's saying that:
    "Installation Failed, One or more required components of Adobe Photoshop CS4 failed to install correctly."
    Help!! I really need CS4!!

    I really need CS4!!
    Well, then buy it?! Your motivation to re-install a trial product is questionable at best. Honestly. Seriously. That aside, how did you re-install? Did you do a proper low-level format of the drive? When Windows was installed, did you run all the necessary updates, in particular for the installer sub-system?

  • Adobe Indesign CS4 Trial

    Hi Everyone,
    I was looking to try out indesign cs4 for my company but I can't find it( the trial) on the adobe website. I think they have removed it because cs5 is coming out. I have looked all over for it but nothing. Does any one have it or know where I can get it. I would just contact adobe but I am sure they will tell me I have to wait for the cs5 trial.If I like it I do plan on buying CS5 but I need something now, Othweise I have to find another product like indesign,  Anything would be very helpful.
    Thanks in advance

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I still have to check if the app work properly. There is no reason it shouldn't.
    Since you already have CS5 installed:
    BEWARE! DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD!
    Installing CS4 on top of a CS5 messes up your system and makes CS5 unusable. Make sure you install it onto another computer, possibly in another room as well.

  • Indesign CS6 Trial Installation Error

    I Tried to install the indesign cs6 trial, but everytime I try it stops and says it failed the Genuine Product Test. I downloaded the program straight from the Adobe website so it should be genuine, what should I do?

    It still would indicate that you had a corruption of the install files.  Did you utilize the Adobe Download Assistant or a direct download?  If you tried the Adobe Download Assistant previously then you may want to try the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.
