Photoshop CS4 Setup.exe gets Setup Error on Windows 8.1

First: I've paid for Photoshop and upgrades for many years. However, when time came to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 last year, Adobe had shut that avenue off, and didn't want my money.
I now have a new computer, and need to re-install Photoshop CS4. I followed the CS4 download instructions in this forum (because Adobe has also removed those instructions -- even though they sold the CS4 upgrade as a download!)
When I run the Setup.exe file, three things happen right away:
1) It says "Checking System Profile"
2) It says "Setup Error -- Setup hs encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."
3) It pops up a dialog and asks for a serial number.
This happens even when I Run As Administrator.
Trying to contact Adobe Customer Support just re-directs me to these forums.
Help!

The problem is not with activation, because the Setup Error happens before I enter any serial number.
I am downloading from Adobe, using the download suggestions found in another thread.
I have the discs for CS2, but not CS4, as CS4 was bought as a downloadable upgrade.
It turns out that, if I ignore the setup error and dismiss that dialog, and enter my serial number (and that of the previous version, because it's an upgrade,) it goes ahead and installs, so the "error must quit" is apparently not quite accurate.

"Photoshop Elements10.0.exe - Bad Image" Error message

My Photoshop Elements 10 will no longer start.
I have been running Windows on my PC since initial installation and have not changed my set-up in any way, but now receive a "Photoshop Elements10.0.exe - Bad Image" Error message when trying to start my program. The error further reads c:Program Files 9x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\amtlib.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error etc. I have deactivated, removed and then reinstalled Photoshop Elements using my original discs and serial number, but continue to get the same message.
Any suggestions?

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

On closing Photoshop CC, I am getting an error message on screen that read's "Selective Palette error: no element found at line 1. Are you able to assist with this problem?

Can anyone shed some light on this error message I am getting upon closing Photoshop CC
I am getting an error message on screen that read's "Selective Palette error: no element found at line 1. Are you able to assist with this problem?

Same issue here in WI and for me it was at 6:36p CST.
I'm changed my password, removed iCloud from my phone ... tried 3G and WIFI with no luck. I also cannot check it on my Mac or iPad. I was able to get contacts and calenders back on my phone but no mail yet.
Did the whole Apple support thing and apparently I'm part of the 1%
EDIT: Question: are all of you former MobileMe users as well? Just wondering because I know there were going to be some changes as they completely move MobileMe over to iCloud and drop the "extra" services. I just can't remember if it was just a single cut off date or a series of dates. THAT email is stuck in my iCloud folders.

When downloading a "Purchased" Photoshop package and you get an "Error 6...

When downloading a "Purchased" Photoshop package and you get an "Error 6", how do you actually get to speak with someone at Adobe? The program appeared to download properly and requested that I restart my computer, which I did, it indicated that I was experiencing an "Error 6" - and despite all of my efforts I could not find a single screen that would take me to a person at Adobe to assist me. It referred me to this source, and unfortunately I have a very unique situation that possibly only they could answer. Any help you could give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

you purchased ps cs6?

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

I'm getting itunes error 7 windows error 27

After I tried to update iTunes 12 I can't open iTunes and I get iTunes error 7 windows error 27

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
