Photoshop CS4 Install Issue (corrupt file)

As someone else below had this problem, and apparently solved it, I'm reposting here because I haven't solved it, and the issue doesn't seem to be going away like it did for them.
I purchased the CS4 PS upgrade from Adobe's site.  After downloading it (using the latest non-beta firefox) I double click the EXE file (of the two it downloads) and get an error stating "A problem occured when extracting some files. Check available space and write privledges"
My drive has over 300gb free space, and I'm running as admin.
I have tried disabling UAC and turning off my AV software to no avail, re-installing and redownloading both with no UAC/AV going.  The gentleman (kfallsbob) that had this problem solved it by repeatedly downloading the software until he got a good copy.  After this revelation was made, I downloaded the trial version of the latest winzip to get to the .Z7 file and see if it was valid.  It extracts part way and gives a data error, so it appears the file is corrupted or becomes corrupted during the DL process.
I have downloaded this 7 times so far.  I'm reaching the limit of my patience.
Does anyone have a solution for this?  I submitted a request for help through the website, but apparently the case has dissapeared.  I will try calling when I get home, but I often work late.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.
System:  Intel E6700 running vista ultimate 64 with 8gb ram

Looked through that, looks like it's for non Akamai (the DL manager) downloads since those bypass the whole internet cache and whatnot.  I tried digging up the FTP site, but looks like they host only their free apps there (go figure...) I'm hoping that they have some alternate DL method I can get to, but still haven't heard from them.  Unfortunately phone support is only around until 5pm pacific time and strangely enough, I work until 5pm pacific time...  I would love to see a company that has people around later than normal work hours for support!
WHEEEEE! 
Edit:
Given that the regular install process and winzip both choke at about 4% through the extraction process, I'm going to call that sufficient as far as unzipping the compressed file goes.

  • Photoshop CS4 install issues

    I have a computer I just rebuilt with a new board, processor and memory.  I installed a clean copy of Windows Vista Business on a freshly formatted 300 gig hardrive.  I previously had purchased a download copy of Photoshop CS4.  I downloaded my software and when it began to extract the files it went about a third of the way and then I got an error message.
          "A problem occurred while extracting some files.  Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
    The drive has 252 GB free and I am in an Administrative account.  I have redownloaded the software.  Emptied my temp files and checked the disc for errors.  I am stumped.  The folder it is extracting to is on my Desktop.  Before attempting to extract for the 3rd time I deleted folder.  Anyone have any ideas.

    But have you configured it appropriately? Extraction errors usually point to either to insufficient temporary space in your user temp directory or a missing component required by the installer, which could be a part of MSInstaller itself or an auxiliary component such as .NET runtimes or MSVC DLLs...

  • Photoshop CS4 Install issues - Serial # not accepted

    I have just spent THE most frustrating 3 hours trying to deal with Adobe Support.
    -Upgarded my Hard Drive
    -Tried to reinstall PS CS4
    -recieved error message on first screen saying that I had the wrong number
    -Called Support, spoke to a lady I could barely understand (thick East Indian accent) and she couldn't help me directly bc of my outdated SW and referred me to the Forums
    -poured over forums for almost 2 hours, found the same problem and the solution was "Call them back and insist on a supervisor who can at that point give you and override" ARRRG!
    -called back, sw gentleman with accent worse than the first rep and explain all of the above
    -Was told repeatedly that my Serial number does not resemble a current number
    -Asked repeatedly to speak to a Super
    -Rep kept putting me on hold and then returning with the same damn questions!!!!
    -I finally excused myself and hung up.
    CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE?

    I have been exactly where you are recently. The techs couldn't help but I finally found a solution. I copied the CD onto my hard drive and ran the install from there. My serial number was accepted and CS4 is running just fine. I don't know if it will work for you but could be worth a try.

  • Photoshop CS4 stopped reading CR2 files.  Update failed.

    My Photoshop CS4 quit reading CR2 files from my Canon EOS 5D Mark II.  Photoshop update with new raw version failed.  Please advise.
    And many thanks!

    This screen shot shows the correct path to the appropriate folder in CS4 on the Mac, which is not called "ACR folder" (that must be a Windows thing).
    The version of ACR in the image is older (5.2, obsolete by now), because it's a screen shot from many moons ago.
    The important thing is to start the path in the ROOT LEVEL Library, not your username or home Library:

    My photoshop CS4 has gone corrupt and I can't figure out how to reinstall it. I got the CS4 Suite standard pack and the serial number to it. The only thing that's missing is the installation CD. How do I proceed with this problem?

  • Photoshop CS4 install disk image won't mount

    Hi,
    I just acquired Photoshop CS4, and after finishing downloading the instalation .dmg file, I tried opening it, and on two diferent computers it comes out as invalid. On my iMac, it gives out "invalid checksum" and on the MacBook, "codec overrrun". Fearing the file could have been corrupted during download, I downloaded again, but it renders exactly the same results. I cannot install CS4 and not find any reference to this problem. The file was downloaded using Adobe Downloader from the store, directly, and the other dmg files opened without problem. Only the Photoshop CS4 one doesn't open.
    Does anyone have any clue on how to solve this problem? Any help is apreciated.
    Jessica

    Being in Brazil, I felt it would be easier and faster just to get the download than having to guess if customs would bill me or not for something that cannot be billed ( which is, software ). But I asked the support if they can privide me with the media, even if at an aditional cost.
    BUT, yesterday I managed to solve the problem. Despite the fact it doesn't say anywhere on the manuals, and it have never damaged any of my downloads, there's something that doesn't go very well between Adobe Download Manager and my Netgear wireless router.
    I disconected the router and hooked the iMac directly to my service provider, and the download worked fine. CS4 is now installed and working. So, in case your internet goes trough a wireless router, or any kind of home network device, and you're having this problem, my advice is to try to hook your computer directly to the modem and try again.
    Thanks everyone for the help, it was really apreciated. Now I did some 4 backup disks from this, so I don't have this problem again

  • Photoshop cs4 ORF or DNG files in bridge

    I have installed my Photoshop cs4 in my new computer wich is running windows 7 But I cannot preview ORF or DNG files in bridge I th
    ink this may be a activation problem

    If I do that it doesn't get any bigger just makes the window bigger, not the image
    If that is the case something is wrong with your set up. The slider bottom right  Yammer p pointed you to does alter the size of the thumbnails, not the panel itself.
    Top right are the workspace names, at the right of it is triangle, click on it and choose reset workspace. Otherwise restart bridge holding down option (mac) or control (win) when restarting bridge and choose reset preferences.
    If still out of luck provide more details about your computer (RAM / VRAM) OS version and exact Bridge version.

  • Photoshop CS4 install error

    Hiya, I require some help with the installation of photoshop CS4 (i think it's extended edition)
    The situation:
    I downloaded the InDesign trial version from the adobe website and installed it as a trial. After liking the program, i activated it.
    Having had a previous experience with photoshop, i downloaded it as well and installed as a trial. This time, however it did not prompt me if I wished to enter a serial code. I went along with it.
    Just recently, Photoshop got the "licence expired" error. I figured that the trial had run out, however I still could not seem to enter a serial code. Deciding to re-install (i still have the installer package) I attempted to run the uninstaller. It encountered errors, so I deleted the photoshop folders out of my program files. (both the x64 and x86 (I'm running win7x64)) Now whenever I try to run the installer package it gets most of the way through checking the system profile then displays the error message:
    "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance"
    I then used a cleaner to clean all adobe programs from my computer. Now all the installers (PhotoshopCS4 and InDesignCS4) give the same error. I have tried the CS4 cleaning scripts, the lot. any suggestions? I'm not overly worried about my indesign serial, I have it backed up around here somewhere =)
    Help would be GREATLY appreciated
    PS: No, I dont want to use gimp or paint.net, and I dont feel like formatting my C:\ especially as I havn't been supplied with a system restore disk

    The 4.5 installer is not needed for Windows 7 so don't worry about that. Windows 7 has the latest downloader already installed.
    If you downloaded CS4 (looks like you did reading your attachment) put the folder on your desktop and run the install from there. For some reason PS CS4  download does not extract well in a system folder. Putting it on the desktop avoids this.
    When the folder or download is on the desk top right click on it and look at the general tab. At the bottom there might be a unblock button. Click on this button and it will on lock it. If it is not there don't worry about it. Now if you don't see the unblock there right click on the .exe file in the folder and look for the same. If not there don't worry about it.
    In the folder on the desk top right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin.
    Also:
    Remove adobe reader if installed.
    Turn-off any anti-virus running. Turn off Windows defender if running (if installed).
    Download and install CCleaner. Free download and it finds and removes un-wanted old files.

  • Photoshop CS4 auto flattening my files. Anyone else experienced this?

    Photoshop has started flattening my files, seemingly at random. Obviously I don't need to explain that this is killing my workflow and is an unacceptable bug! I am currently reconstructing a 300 + layer brochure file from scratch, which is a real blast.
    I have spent a while searching for other people who have experienced this / possible solutions, but have come up with nothing. So, has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone have any potential solutions?
    If it makes any difference, I have been running GridIron Flow. I didn't have these issues before installing the app. I have since uninstalled it.
    Thanks very much in advance,
    Fred

    Never work on an original.
    Sounds like you are converting your files from RGB to CMYK in the advanced dialog uncheck flatten image to preserve appearance

  • Photoshop CS4 install problem

    I`m running Windows Vista, AMD Turion X2 64bit, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD. Downloaded the installer from the website, placed it in C:\Temp and tried to install.
    When the installation begins it shows the "Checking System Profile" window, when the progress bar is near the end an error message appears saying "Command line option syntax error. Type Command /? for Help.". I click the OK button and the installer gets stuck at the "Checking System Profile" window.
    I've tried common procedures for this such as placing the installer in C:\Temp and changing %TEMP% and %TMP% to C:\Temp. And yes, the installer is being run as administrator.

    Here's a solution that worked for me:
    Download and install the English version of Photoshop CS4 (The file name has a _CL1 extension.) The errors will still be there. Details show that certain components did not load.
    Then download the FRENCH language version -- the one with the _CL4 extension. (I chose French because I could have worked with the program in French if I had to.)
    Now open the French installer and REinstall Photoshop. The installer will just show the components that were missing from the English language version installation, so just go ahead and install ONLY those components.
    and Voila! You get a working version of Photoshop CS4 64 bit version IN ENGLISH! The French installer only added the missing components which, apparently, had nothing to do with the interface language.

  • InDesign CS4 and PhotoShop CS4 Integration issue.

    When working in inDesign CS4 Mac, I often click on a image to edit it in photoshop CS4 via the edit button in the InDesign links pallet That brings up the file in PhotoShop so that I can make my adjustments. When trying to save the photo in Photoshop the file will note save.
    I get the pop up message that the file is in use. So I have to close the InDesign file in order to save the photo, re open inDesign to re-link the image. Very frustrating when working with a customer.... Any one else having this issue? or am I just lucky.

  • Lightroom opens Photoshop CS4 for edit but file doesn't open

    I have tried looking for this thread but have not found it... 447 threads are a lot to scan...
    When I try to edit a Lightroom 2.3 file in Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop launches but the file does not open (same for all other edit options: layers, pano, etc.) and the follows box appears in Lightroom: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS4 could not be launched"...
    I have Windows XP Home Edition with SP3... over 3GB Ram... and all current Adobe updates...

    Ah, now in that case this is where you'll find everything that you need to know, including access to the download. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4579
    Having said that, with a Mac doesn't Camera Raw install automatically from within CS4 by choosing Update from within the Help menu?
    Oh, and another thing. If you open CS4, go up to Help, from the drop-down choose About > Camera Raw. If it indicates 5.5 then the raw plug-in is already installed in the correct location. It won't show if it's not installed in the correct location.

  • Photoshop cs4 install fails on Vista with registry access error 1406

    I've been trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my Vista for a couple of days now.  It grinds for a minute or two then tells me "Installation of the following components has failed:  Adobe Drive CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4"  when I cancel the install and click the "More Information" button, I see this:
    Adobe CSI CS4
    Error:
    Error 1603. Error 1406.Could not write value AdobeCS4ServiceManager to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.   Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    When I go into regedit, I have no problem creating a string value in the indicated key.
    Here are some of the things I've tried:
    1) run setup as administrator (even tho I have UAC turned off)
    2) run setup in WinXP SP2 compatibility mode
    3) use the Adobe Support Advisor to track down the error in their knowledge base and followed steps to apply permissions to descendents of the indicated tree
    Done lots of googling plus searching of the experts-eschange knowledge base.

    Choose Custom during install, deselect Version Cue, Adobe Drive and Acrobat.com. The CSI Service is related to that.

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

    I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
    I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
    I have 2 problems:
    1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
    For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
    2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
    Many thanks!
    Justin

    Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
    Thank you!
