Lightroom 4 won't install

When I try to install Lightroom 4, the installation routine tells me that the Lightroom 4 beta needs to be uninstalled. However, I cannot do this as I deleted the folder, and I can't simply reinstall the beta, then uninstall it.
So now I'm stuck. Does anyone know how to clean remnants of Lightroom 4 beta off my machine so I can install the full disk?

I've resolved this, using Microsofts Fixit tool.

  • Lightroom 2 won't install at all

    Hi, folks--
    Could anyone suggest why my new version of Lightroom 2 won't install at all on my system? At first I thought that it was because my comp didn't meet the minimum requirements, but I believe it does, so I'm stumped. I received a Windows Installer error message stating, "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." I'm trying to install from a brand-new CD purchase made through Amazon, so I trust the retailer. I have a valid serial number and all that.
    I'm running Win XP Pro, SP3.
    Thanks for the help!

    My suggestion is to download the trial (which is the full version) and try that. You can then add the serial number on the one you purchased.

  • Lightroom trial won't install on Macbook

    Hey,
    I've downloaded the file but when I click on it, it opens in a window that saids the disk image could not be opened and that the reason is not recognised.
    HELP!! PLEASE!!!!

    Hi,
    .dmg is the right file to be downloaded to install the application on a Mac.
    The file size shows that the download was not completed.
    The Lightroom Mac installer file size is approximately 113 MB.
    I would recommend re-downloading the installer.

  • Lightroom 6 won't install from DVD

    I bought Lightroom 6 and burned the files to a DVD, same as I have done for 3,4, and 5, but it refuses to install from the DVD. Keeps asking for the Lightroom 6 DVD. However if I copy the DVD to a folder on my desktop and then start the install everything works fine. I worked with Adobe support but we were unable to get it to install directly from the DVD.
    Anyone else have this problem? Windows 7 Pro X64.
    Thanks,
    Lee

    It's resolved now, I have tried it again (now the 7th time) and for some reason it decided to work!

  • Lightroom trial won't install-error 1

    Trying to download/install Lightroom 4 trial. Terrible with computers but it looks like it downloads but when I go to open the installer it says "Operation could not be completed.  (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error-1)" Help please!

    10.5.8 So that would explain it. Again computer dumb lol but there are no software updates available where do I go from here? Is there a way to upgrade to the 10.6.8 or can I use a different version of the photo software? Thanks for your help!!!

  • Lightroom 2 won't install on my macbook pro w/ mavericks. any suggestions?

    i get an error message when i try to install lightroom2 on my macbook pro. it just about completes the process and when it starts to finalize it quits and says contact adobe.

    My files are jpegs. Lightroom recognizes by SD card and a desktop folder into which I have exported photos from IPhoto. BUT Lightroom will not import the files whether from IPhoto, SD card or desktop folders. I have not tried attaching camera because Lightroom recognizes my SD card as a "Canon..."

  • Update to lightroom 4 won't install

    I have tried at least 15 times to install the update 4.2 to lightroom and I get a message to check disk space (there is plenty). I have never successfully updated or installed a downloaded Adobe program. Can't Adobe do something to fix this?

    FYI, the current version is Lightroom 4.3

  • Lightroom 5 won't install on my Mac...

    All is well until I put in the serial number. Then when I click "Finish", everything just disappears and Lightroom shuts down. No error messages. No freezing. It just vanishes. The serial number is correct, btw. I see the green check icon after typing it in. I've tried inputing the registration info, then clicking Finish, same problem.
    I've tried this both with the installation disc that I bought, and with the download from adobe.com.
    I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a 2011 Macbook Pro.

    Hello Adobe, can I get an answer here? I waite on the phone for 1 hour with customer service to no avail...

  • LR5 won't install in specified folder

    I have a custom folder setup as my default installation folder in my Adobe Application Manager but Lightroom 5 won't install there. Instead, it just installs in the default folder that all Adobe applications do, which is Program Files/Adobe/. All my other applications install in the folder I've specified but LR5 doesn't.
    I've updated the Adobe Application Manager and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner but I'm not able to get it installed where I want. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    This is what I did to solve the problem:
    1. Install Lightroom 5 from Application Manager.Run the Program.
    2. Go to Help - System Info and copy the serial number (save in a file).
    3. Uninstall Lightroom 5 - there were 2 entries 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5' and 'Lightroom 5'.- uninstall both.
    4. Download and install the trial, specifying the folder that you want to intall it in.
    5. Run the program and paste the serial number previously copied when asked.
    It should not have needed this - something as basic as this should not have been missed and makes me really worry about Adobe's testing procedues. What shold have been a few minutes work took far too long to do, not including all the work to find a solution.

    Hi. I'm trying to install Lightroom 4 but it's not downloading. Lightroom 5 won't work.

    You can try downloading Light room 4 from here:

    Prior to install, do ensure that the machine is compatible & the machine has all the permission to download & install.

  • Lightroom 2 won't launch after install

    After installing onto an XP 32-bit machine that already had Lightroom 2 Beta running, Lightroom 2 now refuses to launch. It is an upgrade version loaded from disc but has killed off all the other versions, too.
    I have un-installed and re-installed repeatedly - rebooting every time - to no avail. Even a new install of Lightroom 1 won't launch - which makes me wonder if there is a rogue file from the Beta version that needs a serious talking to.
    The computer shows the application as correctly installed but it simply won't launch.
    What to do?

    Thanks Lee
    Version 2 and Beta preference files no longer exist after uninstalling and V1.0 still refuses to launch even after removing its preferences.
    Could there be something in the registry that needs a kick?

  • Lightroom 5 won't load after 30 day trial of Lightroom3 error.

    I tried the 30 day trial of Lightroom 3 that I got with the Photoshop Elements 10 when I got my new computer.  The Lightroom loaded one picture and said I had an error and would try to find a solution.  I bought Lightroom5  and tried to install it and it keeps going back to the error of Lightroom 3 trial.  I tried to delete all programs associated with Lightroom and reinstall, but nothing happens.

    it just reads "Lightroom-Opening Catalog:New Years Day 2014 031.JPG.Ircat   assertion failed!
    New Years day 2014 is a folder and 031 is the picture in the folder that I tried to enhance in the 30 day free trial of Lightroom 3.  I bought Lightroom 5 from B &H and it appears to be hung up on the Lightroom 3 trial.
