Installation error: Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4

Question

I have a multiuser Mac CS4 Design Studio (college department).  All but one computer is installing fine.  This is a PowerMac G5 with 10.5.8.  Clean as a whistle, nothing funny installed, no other problems.
The installer fails when installing Illustrator, specifically when installing the additional-but-required item named "Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4".  It simply fails with a helpful "Error 2" message.  I don't know what this item is, but without it, Illustrator won't install.
All other CS4 applications install fine.  I've repaired permissions, tried installing from another Admin user on the same computer, etc.  I've tried installing both from the original CDs and from the downloaded license installer.  Etc etc.
The Adobe installation log appears useless.  I run the "Adobe Support Advisor" which tells me:
  Issue no: id18470
  Unable to update an installed font when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
and points me to:
  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403901.html
Which, if related at all, doesn't provide any info since it doesn't tell me what font is related (although my gut feeling is this isn't a font issue at all, but it's impossible to know).  Anyway I try using the Support Advisor to upload the logs to Adobe but keep getting "The storage server is unavailable! Please try again later."  That's helpful.  Anyway, to rule out any font permission issues I force-propagated proper permissions in /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts.  No change.
I've been on hold with Adobe Support for 45 minutes and can't stay on much longer, so I figure I'll post here to see if anyone has any suggestions.  I wish they'd at least have better music.
Any idea what this file/item is, and if there's either another way to install it (ie copy from another Mac) or manually deselect it from the installer?
The last chunk of lines from the installation log follows; no idea where the proper cutoff is.
Thanks!

Answer 1

you can uninstall any cs4 program that is installed.
clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
and retry installing.
if you again see a 1603 error, check your install logs for more specific info - Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4
