Bridge is not tied to any restrictions in terms of activation or requiring specific components to be in place, hence it almost always works. Do you correctly run the install with administrative privileges?

Photoshop CS4 Trial Will not start. Error message will pop up saying ...

"Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
-CS4 Photoshop
-Vista Home Premium
-HP
I've been at this for days, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, clean scripted, everything i could think of. I have no luck with anything! What is strange is that Bridge will still work, but just Photoshop alone won't.
If anyone could help .. in anyway at all, it would be greatly appreciated!

Photoshop CS4 Extended will not open file from Bridge.

This is 2nd time this has occurred. Last time I uninstalled CS4 and re-installed to fix it. Prefer to not do that again.
System: XP Media center, SP3, 3 GB memory, Athlon 64x2. Generic - motherboard graphic card. 18 GB disk space remaining.
Typical work flow is edit DNG files in Lightroom. Once done, select DNG files in Bridge and under Tools run the Photoshop Image Processor which changes color profiles, sharpens and converts to JPEG and saves. Done this probably a thoudand times. Ran a batch Sunday afternoon fine.
I may have interrupted an Image Processor batch that was just starting and glitched something.
Now Bridge will open Photoshop but nothing gets imported with the Image Processor. Also Bridge will not run a Batch. Bridge will open Adobe Raw for editing a DNG but cannot load it into Photoshop.
Once I try any of these things, Photoshop will usually not close/exit and many menu items are shaded out. For example, opening a file or starting a new file is not available. Activate/Deactivate not accessible. Can Deactivate and Activate through InDesign. Photoshop seems OK otherwise if re-started after re-boot.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

So far, no good. Here is what I have done and current symptoms.
1) I backed up all the settings and workspace files, then deleted them. No change.
2) No matter what I do, everytime I hold down the control, alt and delete keys when starting PS CS4 all I get is the Windows start settings "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Properties" box where you can select "Target" and "Start In" paths. I do not get any dialog or confirmation to reset anything.
3) Bridge successfully reset preferences using the Control key while starting it up.
Everything about Bridge has appeared to function corectly before and after these changes. But when the Tools/Image Processor or Batch is called, it starts Photoshop OK but nothing in imported to be processed.
Photoshop opens (either from import or stand alone start) with menus partially functioning. Under the file tab, nothign important works. Cannot open a file, cannnot start a file, cannot exit - all grayed out. But keyboard shortcuts do work and I can open a file or start a new file using the shortcuts. Once I get a file open with the keyboard shortcut, most of the menu functions come back under the file tab and can be used and can exit PS. The "X" in the upper right corner to close the program still remains greyed out and not functional. The Activate/Deactivate options under Help remain grayed out.
4) I deactivated the Suite from within InDesign and the I uninstalled only PS using the Windows uninstall utility. I reinstalled PS from the CS4 Suite which of course reinstalled Bridge and some other utilities. I reactivated from within InDesign and ran all updates from within InDesign since updates were still grayed out in PS. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.)
Problems still exist as described.
5) Finally I deactivated again from within InDesign and re-installed the whole CS4 Suite without uninstalling anything before hand. I noticed that process did an uninstall before each module was re-installed.
Problems still exist as described above. I did notice that Photoshop showed itself still Activated (but grayed out) in the help menu even though I had previously deactivated the suite before the re-install. Ran complete Updates from within Bridge. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.) but continued on. Everything else updated OK.
I looked through the registry settings for the settings path as noted in referenced forum links and all looked correct.
Additional Notes: I installed the OnOne Plugin Suite 4 a few weeks ago. Everything has run smothly since then until this problem poped up. After the Uninstall/reinstall the OnOne menu option appears as normal. As do my old Nik plug ins. I doubt this has anything to do with the issue.
Any more ideas outside of starting all over on a clean drive/machine which I really dread even contemplating?
Thank you.

CS4 Trial will not open

I have downloaded the InDesign CS4 trial from the Adobe website, and installed with no problem.
However it will not open. When I click the application I get the following error message:
'You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.'
I've checked the system requirements and sure I have what's needed.
I'm running OS 10.5.6 on a dual 2GHz Power PC G5 with 1.5Gb memory.
Any idea what's wrong?

In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

Fireworks CS4 Trial Will Not Install

I have just downloaded both the .exe and .7z file for the Fireworks CS4 trial. I downloaded the files using Firefox 3.5 on Windows XP. When I hit launch in Akamai, nothing happens. If I double click the .exe file in Windows Explorer, the command propmt opens and then quickly shuts and nothing else happens. I have 7-zip and Winzip and neither can extract the files from the .7z.
I'm not 100% certain I have administrator rights on this computer, but I routinely install and update software and it has never been a problem in the past.
Any help?

If you cannot extract the files, maybe the download did not went well, and file was only partially downloaded? Maybe you shoud try to download it again?
You also must have administrator rights to install software on your machine, no matter if you use XP or Vista/7.

Acrobat will not load with acrobat_sl.exe running

I'm encountering an issue when I try to open a PDF with Acrobat XI Standard. It appears that the process acrobat_sl.exe is preventing the PDF from opening. If I stop the acrobat_sl.exe process the file opens successfully.
I've tried to disable acrobat_sl.exe from msconfig and the registry, but it continues to run after a restart.
Is there another location that acrobat_sl.exe could be starting from? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue where Acrobat will not start until after acrobat_sl.exe is stopped?

This is not an exhaustive search, but enough to prove my point. Per your request, here is a random sampling of customers with issues that involve the inability to open Acrobat. Regardless of the reason, it shows how prevalent the failure is for this particular application to simply not start up properly, when compared to any other application on the market. That in itself is an issue worth delving into.
Deeper in these forum contents you will find all sorts of whacky suggestions by helpful users as they attempt to assist other frustrated users at their wits end. Many commenters make reference to this having been an issue they've struggled with for years. And many a thread is just left with no final solution.
I so wished I had bookmarked for you every site I actually visited during my months long journey to find a fix. There you get to read for hours about whether it's a licensing issue, registry edit, or a rogue file that needs to be deleted.

Photoshop CS5 trial will not open - "illegal seek" message

I have Mac OS X 10.7.3 installed. The Adobe Download Assistant is stuck in extracting mode, which I can't seem to get rid of even after deleting the Adobe Download Assistant dmg and reinstalling it. Since I was not able to open the Photoshop CS5 dmg (I received the illegal seek message), I deleted it. I have tried redownloading the Adobe Download Assistant, but I can't seem to get it out of its extracting state. What do I do? I have tried 2 different internet connections also... since I saw that was recommended on someone else's post that had the same issue.
Thanks

Photoshop elements 12 will not connect with Revel Premium

I am using Windows 8.1 and I upgraded to Elements 12 from Elements 8 in August 04. I also have Revel Premium. For a few weeks I was able to move photos between PS and Revel. Now this has changed, for I am no longer able to access Revel from Photoshop. I have listened to the Help Videos and have red the other help topics with no success. Obviously there is a solution to this problem, and I am convinced that others have experienced it. Since Adobe Tech Support does not support Photoshop and only directs you to the Forums I am hopeful there is someone here who can help me.
I appreciate your help since I have many photos in Revel that I would like to move to Organizer.

What operating system are you using?
What happens after you click on a photo and go to View>Full Screen?
Does that happen with all your photos or just certain ones?

Photoshop cs4 & cs5 will not deactivate

I have done this several times for both. Deactivate button works. Photoshop says it is deactivated and quits. Yet I can fire it up again and it still works.
I need to reformat this drive and start again and don't want to run into activation problems. Can't find this problem in a search.
Any help...please,

My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

You would need Camera Raw 7.3 or later to open those files. Adobe is not going to update CS4. You can either get a newer version of Photoshop that comes with a current version of Camera Raw, or you can use the DNG converter to save your files down to the ACR version that works with CS4.

I am trying to install my CS4 Suite onto new PC with Windows 8. It installed Photoshop but nothing else. It is asking me to "Install with 'setup.exe'" Which i dont think is on there. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...
