Problems Installing trial Lightroom on laptop w/Vista

Hello,
I just purchased a new laptop and I downloaded the trial version of Lightroom.  I saved the exe file to my desktop.  I am now attempting to extract it.  I am trying to extract to c:Program Files, but receive the following message:
" A problem occured while extracting some files.  Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
Does anyone know if it cannot go in this file, where it should be put?  I know I have available space on my hard drive - I checked - available space is 250GB.  Any help you can give is very appreciated!  Thanks

You should never extract to "C:\Program Files". Ideally, you extract
to a temporary directory, and then run the extracted installer from
there.

Ah, but have you checked the write privileges of the destination
folder (the other half of the message)?
Try again, but extract to a temp directory, and run the installer from there.

  • Problem installing trial version of After Effects CS4

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the trial version of After Effects CS4 on Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 32-bit Operating System, Processor 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB.
    At the initializing stage it gets to 90% on the 'Checking System Profile...' dialog box, something flashes and then it freezes.
    I've downloaded it a second time in case of corruption.
    I've rebooted several times and retried it with no other applications running.
    I've run updates on any existing adobe products I have.
    Any ideas?  I've never had problems installing adobe products before.
    Thanks.

    Not your fault, known issue.
    a) Download the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility and install it
    b) Download the CS4 Cleanup Utility from Adobe's support pages
    c) Run the CS4 Cleanup, electing to remove all debris from your failed install
    d) Manually uninstall all instances of Adobe AIR products (Acrobat.com, Adobe Media Palyer) using Add or Remove Programs
    e) Launch the Microsoft Installer Cleanup and look for instances of Adobe Installer 2.0. Have them removed. Optionally, have it remove other Adobe stuff that may have been left over from CS4.
    f) Try to install CS4
    Note: The cleanup utilities will not remove anything physically, only clean out the installer, so they pose no danger to your system. You will only lose the ability to uninstall those programs from Add or Remove Programs.

  • Problem installing PS Lightroom 4

    I previously had (and have installed on my Mac) PS Lightroom 3. I just bought a Leica, which comes with PS Lightroom 4. I decided to first update my PS Lightroom 3 software to 3.6, and didn't have any problems doing so. When I try to install PS Lightroom 4, however, I can't do so. The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg file isn't opening or running at all. Please advise.

    Perhaps it doesn't, after all? I'm sorry to say so, but just saying that your computer meets the specs when we don't know what they exactly are is not useful in any way. Please provide the full specs and hardware details.
    ERROR:  - Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86: User canceled installation
    Why does this happen? Do you really cancel the installation or is this a potential external issue? If the Microsoft installer is cancelling itself (it is a separate pop-up panel in teh main install), then this would be further indication that something is wrong with your computer in the first place and it doesn't qualify...

  • Problem installing Service pack 1 for Windows Vista 32-bit from windows update

    I have been trying to install Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista Home (32 bits) through Windows Update many times. The Update panel shows Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) is available. I install the update, which by the way, just takes me few minutes curiouslly. The "update succesfully installed" message with the green circle checked on appears. But then, when I check my computer properties, the Service Pack 1 is not there and Windows Updated keeps showing again and again the update for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (KB936330) is available and that needs to be installed. I don't know what else to do, can you help me please.

  • Problems Installing CS3 Web Premium on Windows Vista x64

    I was (key word) having problems with my installation of CS3 on my brand new (3 days old) computer with Windows Vista x64. Finally after two days of installing and uninstalling, I called Adobe support. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they solved my problem (if only I had called sooner).
    Having worked on this for 2 days I have seen and tried everything except of course the cure. So I wanted to put this out there for any one else that is having problems.
    The symptoms:
    - Everything seemed to install correctly (except acrobat which is another story. you can find lots of post about that.). No errors during installation. And when it finally completed installing, all that was left was to click "finish" which indicated to me that installation was successful.
    - Open Photoshop. PS would open and immediately stop working. Vista said it was not responding.
    - Open any of the other programs and the little vista circle would spin for 5 to 10 seconds then nothing. Program did not start to open. Just nothing.
    The problem: Unbeknown to me (never saw an error message) "Licensing for this product had stopped working". When I described above symptoms tech support went straight to this.
    The solution: Download the Licensing Service Update and run it. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528
    Once I ran this, Photoshop opened and let me enter serial number and activate CS3.
    If after your installation, Photoshop or any of the other programs seem to get stuck or you never get the dialog box to enter serial number, the Licensing Service Update should fix things for you.

    wow...thank you so much for this posting. I just got home & followed your steps and now I have CS3 up & running. After 4 days of stressing out, finally someone was able to assist. Why can't the Adobe Experts & Employees on these forums supply this much needed information?????
    I seriously understand why people want to get crack versions of this software rather than paying hundreds of dollars like us and avoid all this BS and get no support whatsoever!
    Thank you again!!

  • Problems installing trial on Windows 8

    I was trying to get Muse. I walked away for a while, and it said I didn't have Air, so I downloaded that. Now that won't run either. I'm not sure what's supposed to happen after I allow it to make changes to my computer, but it would appear its "nothing". I've had similar problems with other downloads because of Windows 8. Can someone please tell me what to do? Thanks.

  • Dont Install Trial Lightroom with other Adobe Products!!!!!!!!

    I have been experiencing many licensing proplems with Adobe and have found if you have any licensed products installed and then install any of the the adobe trial software it will mess up all your installed applications.  I have spent quite a bit of time on the phone with support and they have fix no other than to uninstall ALL adobe software and re-install.
    Example:  I have Adobe Design Premium CS3, Adobe Web Premium CS3 and Adobe Acrobat 9.0 installed on a computer.  If you install the trailware and let trial run out of its trial period without buying or uninstalling....ALL your other Licensed Adobe products will NOT work.  I have had this happen to me 3 times and every time I contact support they say to uninstall everything and re-install.  I just realized today on my own that this was the issue.  I actually tested this out on a few other computers and can confirm any expired trial software from Adobe will prevent your licensed products from working.
    Since support is NOT willing to help find out why this is happening, I am hoping this saves at least a few people from going thru the frustration that I have experienced.

    This
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html
    is the ADOBE licensening repair tool. It worked for me
    There is further advice here
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html
    This document
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401346.html
    is also of relevence. Unfortunatly it refers to the locations for LR1 and these have changed in LR 2. I am not sure what the new locations are, but if you go back to support refering them to this may get them to tell you...they may even update the document.
    Interesting that ADOBE support didn't refer you to it...
    Uninstalling will not work and they should be aware of this.I had the problem recently with an old ADOBE Acrobat trial causing problems for CS4.I wasn't aware that LR trials could cause problems as I have never had one and it doesn't use the standard ADOBE licensing proceddures in that it doesn't require activation and the trial copy is the same as the "real" copy. But give it a whirl.

  • Problem installing Trial CS5 Photoshop

    I am a CS4 user and I am interested in the content aware aspect of the new program.  I decided to download the trial and look around at it.  It downloaded and I installed it fine but I noticed all my raw files (and sidecars) were mising from Lightroom2.  So I looked and they were gone. Just totally gone.  I did a system restore to no avail.  I really don't think that installing this trial software made my files go away and I will be able to locate most if not all the lost files but now, after the restore I have tried to re download and install the trial software but I get the Akamai donwload page and it says waiting. Just waiting.  Any thoughts as to why it won't let me download the software?

    My guess would be that either the download file is unavail right now, or something is blocking it from your side.
    What browser are you using? If your not using the IE (Internex Explorer) then try with that one, since most websites are developed for that browser.
    Also you can try to turn off your firewall when you download this file, and do not forget to turn it back on once you've downloaded the file.
    If none of the above works, please notify exactly where you are trying to download, exactly what and for what OS (Operating System).
    Good luck
