Installing Illustrator CS4

How can I install the program with the least amount of options? I can't uncheck Extension Manager and ExtendScript Toolkit? Are they required?

Yes they are required components hence installer does not lets you de select them. You can only deselect AIR, Device Central, Adobe Drive and Adobe media player at the time of install

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
Thanks

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:
Issue no: id18308
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
Locale = en
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,

Cant install Illustrator cs4 on mavericks 10.9?

hey everyone,
recently got a new macbook, running mavericks 10.9, went to install my old stuff from the last macbook and everything works fine except illustrator. i re-downloaded illustrator to try it again and when i get to the set up screen and click on the installer it does nothing at all, just sits idle, doesn't matter how long i leave it alone, nothing happens. any thoughts?

Jake323 I would recommend checking your installation logs for error messages. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

Cannot Install Illustrator CS4 Trial or any others?

I have Downloaded and successfully installed Adobe PS, AE, DW and FL with no problem. But I recently tried to download Adobe Premeir and Adobe Illustrator trials and my computer locked up. It would not start correctly and I had to restore my computer to a earlier time. After this I have been able to download the trial files but when the installation bar gets to the end it says that a component of (insert CS4 program here) was unable to install. I have tried many times to install again with other products and with no programs whatsoever open. Did me having to restore my computer have anythign to do with this?

Well, you made a mess! (don't take it personally) Most likely the problems lies within the order in which you installed. There's an intricate web of interdependencies between shared Adobe components across programs and some of that is fragile, to say the least, so it breaks down when one install tries to overwrite or update some of those components. There's a reason, why there is a Master collection. You best bet at this point is to simply use the CS4 Clean Utility from the support pages to unregister all installer files from the database, then simply install the programs that so far you weren't able to get on your system. You can repeat this after every install or when something seems to have gone wrong, it really leaves the programs in place intact. The only downside is, that when you want to get rid of it, you will have to manually delete all directories....

Problems Installing Adobe Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite

Hi all,
When trying to install Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite, I receive an error: "required resources are missing."
Previously, I had problems using Illustrator CS4 when I upgraded to Yosemite, due to an error with the plugin "photoshopimport.aip." I had attempted to uninstall Illustrator, but the uninstall also gave me errors. I ultimately used the CC Cleaner Tool to remove Illustrator.
Now, however, I can't reinstall Illustrator CS4 either! I use the version provided on Adobe's website, so it's not a problem with a physical DVD.
Any ideas for potential solutions? Many thanks!

I don't have an Adobe installation log, and it's not hidden either. I tried installing Illustrator CS4 again, and I noticed that the install fails while ~80% through an "initializing" step. So, it fails before it even starts to generate an install log! I re-downloaded it and had the same error.
I did notice that I have some errors in the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool when I was removing Illustrator CS4. If you look at my first post, I couldn't use it, or uninstall it, so I simply used the Cleaner Tool to remove it. There are some errors in the Cleaner Tool log, such as this one:
2014-11-02 15:11:19.319 Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool[1573:8801317] The following session will be removed: bf2f18d647916c8449e4a221e4609a2

To make things worse, Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued, which could interpret errors contained in Adobe logs.
I contacted Adobe support via chat, and they simply told me that Illustrator CS4 was not supported for Yosemite, and did not offer any further help or information...
Any other ideas? Or am I simply stuck??
Thanks for all of your advice!

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.

Illustrator CS4 will not install

Win 7 64 bit, Photoshop CS4 installed. Try to install Illustrator CS4 and runs into a problem updating Photoshop and stops the install.

Not exacly sure what is said. Just that is was not able to update Photosope and needed to stop the install.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have tried to update Photoshop CS4 and have had difficulty as it would never complete, just get 80% done and stop. Caused by:
Error: The specified module could not be found. C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
Workaround:
Actually, I copied all of the files, not including the Dictionaries directory,
VersionCue.dll
VersionCueSDK.dll
VersionCueUI.dll
ExtendScript.dll
that were not in the 4.0.1 directory.
Now, I ended up with these 5 files,
VersionCue.dll
VersionCueSDK.dll
VersionCueUI.dll
ExtendScript.dll
ScCore.dll
and 1 directory, Dictionaries.

Error 30 installing illustrator

I'm trying to install illustrator CS4 on my XP sp2 PC but i'm getting the following error, the installation file are saved on my hard drive.
Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4
Error:
Error 30. The system cannot read from the specified device.
The Adobe support cannot detect the problem with the installation log, has anyone got any ideas?

Where are the install files stored? Is there enough space in your user Temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\You\Local Settings\Temp)? Is everything defragmented? Cleaned up? Otherwise fit?

Illustrator CS4 [cant] error message when opening

Hi all,
I've just installed Illustrator CS4 twice and still get this error. i'm running it on a Dell 745 with Windows XP SP3.
When I open Illustrator I get the following error message
"adobe illustrator cs4 operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
tried to google it but can't see anyone else having the same problem.
any ideas?
Cheers

Well, it hangs on Updating font menu, according to the splash screen. Ergo, the most likely reason is, that you have a "bad" font on your system. Remove it and AI should launch. And before you ask: Yes, remove all fonts that are not system fonts. You can add them back step by step later to find out which one exactly caused the problem.

Problems installing Illustrator

Hi! I am having problems installing Illustrator CS4 from CD onto computer with Windows 8. I keep getting an error message telling me to shut down Bridges before installation can continue. I've gone to my Control Panel and Adobe Bridges is not even listed there. So how can I shut it down to install AI?

You probably want to open the Task Manager to shut it down (Ctrl-Alt-Delete -> Task Manager).
