Lightroom 4 Beta will not install

4 times now I have  downloaded the Public Beta Lightroom 4.  When the file has been decompressed, double clicking it does nothing.  I am working with a Mac Pro Model 81186  (ID# 2,1) Dual core with 2 2.66 Ghz Intel Processors, running OS 10.5.8.  I have 8 GB of memory installed and 25GB of free space on my Startup disk. 

Check the minimum system requirments...
Macintosh
Multicore Intel® processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or v10.7 (Lion)
2GB of RAM
1GB of available hard-disk space
1,024×768 display
DVD-ROM drive
Internet connection required for Internet-based services
10.5.8 don't cut it...
BTW, there's a LR 4 dedicated forum HERE (which is where LR 4 stuff should be posted).

  • Lightroom 5.3 will not install, error message saying it cannot find x64.msi

    I am not a cloud cc member, just cs6, downloaded lightroom from the lightroom page, it is not listed in my cloud application
    I get the following error message.The feature that you are trying to install is on a network resource that is unavailable. Check ok or try an alternative pathway to a folder containing the installation package, Adobe-Lightroom-64.msi.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I get this to when trying to install from CC or standalone, thing is i have cleaned my C:\ drive since all apps tend to install crap there, it is
    a 115 gig ssd and i am down to 11 gig free, i removed a lot of stuff including some uninstall info that eats a lot of space.
    But where does the installer find the information? i have searched and deleted every mention of lightroom in the registry, god that was a lot,
    Still the old version is deleted from the disk with extreme prejudice is there no switch that makes it ignore any old versions and install anyway?

  • Lightroom 4.1 will not install

    Anyone having trouble installing the new lightroom 4.1? I keep getting and error that I do not have sufficient space or privlidges. I do have plenty of space and privlidges. I have tried this on Windows 7 Pro and windows 7 home. I have also tried to run the install as Administrator.
    Suggestions for resolving? I have never had problems with a Lightroom install.

    That is very weird.  Installing is simple.
    1. Open your Lightroom 4 and when the software update dialog pops up click “download.” This will take you to Adobe’s download page
    2. Click on “proceed to download” and “download now.”
    3. Save the file to the desktop (so it is easier to find it). The download should take about 3 minutes or less.
    4. Double click on the installer, follow the step-by-step instructions.
    If this does not work, I would unistall altogether, and try again from the Adobe Lightroom update dialogue box.  Hope this helps.

  • Lightroom 4.3 Will not install on Win 7 64 bit (As previously with 4.2, 4.1 etc!!)

    I am unable to install the 4.3 update. The installer runs, extracts ("Extracting: Adobe_Lightroom_64.msi...") and then when the bar is complete the popup closes and nothing else happens. I can't beleive Adobe PERSISTS in sending out this BROKEN installer!!
    This has happened in each of the 4.x updates. I was able to solve it previously with some helpful post about opening some folder in AppData I think and immediately clicking on a file for the fraction of a second when it appears in order to open it and finish the installation. However having scoured the posts I am no longer able to find that helpful post. It is particularly difficult becasue there are SO MANY posts abut this problem! Why doesn't Adobe fix it? I have a lot of software on this machine and LR is the ONLY one which has an installation problem.
    Can anybody please direct me to the post which has the steps to fix this problem?
    And can ADOBE PLEASE FIX THE INSTALLER!!?

    I don't know how to answer that question, Rob, or why I would be able to. Obviously people will have different configutrations. It really just points to the question I am asking. I can only assume Adobe hasn't tested it thoroighly enough and is not making any effort to find out why, which suggests to me they don't really care enough about their users to bother. This issue has been raised often enough and nothing has been done.

  • Lightroom 1.0 will NOT install!

    Is there any chance that someone from Adobe might see this message and tell me what register key or whatever the installer is looking at to find out if the beta is uninstalled so that I might delete it. I've tried reinstalling the beta and uninstalling it again. I've used the MS Uninstall Cleanup utility. I've used CCleaner. I've manually removed all references to Lightroom (those that say "Lightroom") from the registry. And still the CD based install simply says "A previous version is installed. Use Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel" My guess is that this just a flag someplace but it's truly driving me CRAZY!

    Hi
    I had the same problem, but this was down to using a third party downloader, I unistalled that and left it to Firebox, hope this helps.

  • Safari 3.0 public beta will not install

    When I try to install safari on my computer I get an error that says the insaller encountered an unexpected error this may indicate a problem with this package. the error code is 2738.that is what it says when it starts adding *.localto porxy expception list.

    I would suggest that you first go through the following routine to ensure your Mac works perfectly:
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but longer in Leopard.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
    More useful reading here:
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417?viewlocale=en_US
    Then download the complete Safari 3.2.1 from the Apple Downloads page, ensuring that you download the correct version for your system, and install that.
    Restart your Mac and report back!

  • Beta will not Install

    I don't seem to be having any problems with the download but every time I click on the setup.exe file I get the following message:
    "We've encountered the following issues - Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe
    Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    I have downloaded the file 4 times today with the same result. The Support Advisor does not show any problems and fails to
    correct the problem. And in comparing the files I see NO difference in them!
    Any ideas what is wrong???

    Dupe topic. Please follow this thread to track this issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4282603#4282603

  • Lightroom CC will not install!

    I am using the Creative Cloud Packager to build individual Adobe packages for installation through SCCM on Dell PC's. I have successfully built and deployed quite a few packages including Photoshop, InDesign, Fireworks, and Bridge, but for some reason the Lightroom package will not install.
    We have an enterprise license and I am using the same procedure I used for all of the other packages. The Lightroom installation media downloads and the package is successfully built but running the .exe or the .msi is not successful. When the installer is executed, it brings up the normal dialogue boxes and appears to be working. However, after a few minutes the box goes away with no error message and nothing is installed.
    The most frustrating part is the lack of log files, I found the page pointing to the Common Files folder but there is no Adobe folder in there. I have tried installing and running the CC Packager on two different machines with the same result. I also tried installing Photoshop CC first to see if maybe it was a prerequisite for Lightroom but the result was the same. Any advice?

    Hi Stephen,
    Adobe Lightroom goes to exception folder once a package is created. You would need to install Adobe lightroom under exception folder using ExceptionDeployer.exe (WIN).
    For more info, please visit : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/using-exceptions-deployer.html
    Thanks,

    Which operating system are you running? It might still be running in the background. You may want to check your Task Manager or Activity Monitor. Or better yet, if you feel uncomfortable with that, try logging out of your user account, then back in. That might kill any stray processes.

  • Lightroom trial will not install

    Lightroom trial will not install , javascript error? Mac OSX10.8.5

    Scrappy1 what do you mean exactly by doing a scan?
    Under Windows 7 you will want to use the Programs and Features Control Panel to remove your installation.  I would recommend verifying that Photoshop Lightroom is removed from the list of installed applications.

  • Will not install from inside App Manager

    Got past the A12E5 error, now with the Adobe Application Manager installed it will not download the any software for install.
    Is there a place to download them alternativly and use the App Manager to approve/activate and install?
    I believe the error code is (-60)

    Manish, thanks for your help.
    Tried similar in Windows 7 with no effect. Also tried Adobe Creative Suite cleaner tool via http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html It installs ok on my laptop, so doesn't appear to be a location issue, but will not install on my workstation. Manual installation of AAM completes but after typing in user/pass it says 'download error, contact customer service'. Photoshop CS6 beta installed and functioned ok and I had CS4. Tried uninstalling both, same issues. Adobe Lightroom 3.6 is still installed and functions.
    I also tried someone's suggestion of installing the trial of something so it would install the Akamai Netsession download manager. This completes and when I launch the AdobeApplicationManager.exe I can see it spawn Netsession which then hangs and can be killed initially, but zombies for a while ( cannot be killed ). Packet trace ( https://twitter.com/#!/DaSpadeR/status/201295684022960128 ) appears to show initial handshake and then nothing.  -John Spade

  • Drivers will not install from original disk

    Ok, so i have a early 2008 MBP, which i just installed Boot Camp on. After a tedious install of windows, I got it to work, now to have the drivers get messed up. What happens is it will start installing the Drivers and then usually (it stops at different times) will get to the audio drivers before it just spins the disk for about a second then stops, then spins it again, and repeats this process infinitely or until I turn off the computer. The disk will not eject, and boot camp install will not end. Can you help me get past this, because I really would love to finish the install! As i said the farthest it has ever gotten is the Audio drivers which is where it usually stops but sometimes it will stop earlier than that, but Audio is the most problematic because it has never been able to go past that.

    Manish, thanks for your help.

  • The new ACR 5.5 update will not install in Elements 7.0

    Hello All:
    This situation is now becoming ridiculous (well, for me that is).  I just tried to install the new ACR 5.5 update and it is "unable to install" into Elements 7.0.  I downloaded the update several times, unzipped the install file, but when trying to install, it just gives me a message that it is unable to install and to hit the "quit" button.
    I have a Vista 64 Bit system with 12 Gigs of RAM.  I've installed Elements 7.0 and Lightroom 2.5 on my system - all with no problems.  For some reason, I could never get Photoshop CS-4 to install at all and I've been through the mill trying to install Photoshop - but nothing worked and had to eventually give up.  Trying to get Adobe support for CS installation on my 64 Bit system has been ridiculous in this regard as each and every time I called, I was connected with some techrep located in India who all they did was "parrot" back what I told them - how frustrating.  But as I mentioned, Elements 7.0 and Lightroom installed just fine.
    The previous ACR 5.4 installed just fine into Elements, but now...ACR 5.5 will not install.  It tells me that I do NOT have CS-4 installed so it cannot install.  What's up with that? Has Adobe stopped supporting the latest ACR upgrades for Elements?  What gives?
    Does anybody just have just the newest ACR 5.5 plug-in by itself that they can send me so I can just put it in my plug-ins folder (or a place where I can download it)?  Adobe used to just have the plug-in that you could unzip and copy and paste and put it into your plug-in folders - but not anymore.  Now they make it an 82 Meg install program and thus some of my problems.
    Can anybody help here?  Why does the install program look for CS-4, yet overlook Elements 7.0 completely.  Helpppppppppp.
    Ben

    Hi Benherrmann,
    Sorry to listen that you havent been able to install the Camera Raw 5.5 plugin.
    But as far as my knowledge goes for PSE, PSE never lists Camera Raw plugin for updates in the Updater Preferences dialog i.e., if you will launch Help->Check for updates, a updater window will open. If you will check the preferences of that updater dialog, it will tell you that it never checks for updates for Camera Raw plugin unlike what happens in Mac. In Mac Camera Raw updates does get installs just by installing PSE(v6 of course as there is no PSE7 for Mac. Hopefully there will be a v8 for Mac by the end of october as seen in the last release).
    Dont know exact reason why Adobe had configured it in that way? why there is some difference between Win and Mac.
    So it prompts me that somehow you need to install Ps CS4 on the machine to get the patch installation through updater. Although this is not Ps forum, would you mind telling what error/issues are you facing while installing Ps CS4?
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • IPad 2 Restore - Apps Will NOT Install

    I have recently been having intermittent problems with my home button being unresponsive on my iPad 2.  I decided I would try a restore to see if this would resolve the problem.  The home button issue may be better (more time will tell) but whoa did this create an entire new set of challenges.
    What I did:
    1) Went into iTunes to update all apps afterwards performed multiple syncs and backups just to be safe.
    2) After restore to factory settings was completed I attempted to restore iPad 2 to my latest backup from earlier in the morning.
    3) Attempted restore multiple times each time an error message states:  The app "x" was not installed on the iPad because the app could not be found
    4) The 26 missing Apps appear in iTunes with a "Will Install" button.  Pressing this button changes it to "Install".  Attempted several additional syncs but apps would not appear on iPad.  I also tried to restore with the iPad off, USB disconnected, holding down the home button, attaching the USB Factory Restore to no avail.  All of the missing apps are current and available in iTunes such as:  Amazon, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, AroundMe, Yelp, Cards, BBC News, etc...you get it...common basic apps all gone missing.
    5) Went into iTunes Store on the iPad 2.  Searched in folder for Not on this iPad and Purchased.  Several purchased apps were missing from the list but some were there.  I tried to manually download the apps that were listed from the Cloud as well as manually enter the app name to re-download and install.  All of my missing apps when searched had the Cloud download icon even if they didn't appear in the Not on this iPad or Purchased screens.
    6) I am currently attempting to download all the missing apps from the Cloud and will try another sync.
    7) What should have been a very short an easy restore has now gone on for over 5 hours as I try multiple syncs, restarts, restores...
    Does anyone know what is happening and how to prevent it in the future?
    All of my software is up to date.  I am running OS X 10.8.4, iOS 6.1.3, all apps were updated on both device and iTunes library this morning prior to restore. 
    My iTunes settings for backups is set to iCloud automotic however I performed a backup to computer before attempting the initial restore.
    Please help!
    Thanks!!!

    I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
    It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!
