Re-install dreamweaver CS4

Trying to re-install dreamweaver cs4 after a computer problem. During installation, program would only process thru 90% of the check system profile before completly stopping. Let it run over an hour and nothing happen

What type of computer problem did you face?  Are you installing from a CD?  If so you can try copying the install files to your desktop to see if you receive a read error while reading the disc.  If you do receive a read error then you can download a fresh copy of the install files from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html.

  • Error Installing Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7: Installer Database is Corrupt

    Error Message: The Installer Database is Corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.
    I bought a new laptop and would like to install Dreamweaver CS4 on it. It is already running fine on my desktop, being installed back in 1/2011. Both PCs are Windows 7 but the new laptop is Windows 7 Professional.  I have downloaded the two install files ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.7z and ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.exe multiple ways and to multiple locatons on the laptop. I've run the .exe file multiple ways and extracted to several locations besides the default (c:\users\userid\Desktop\Adobe CS4). After the extract completes and it tries to run setup I get the same message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please Contact Adobe Customer Service" (which I did and they just gave me another download link I had already tried).
    I even copied the folder with the extracted files done on my desktop (where the install had succeeded). And still got the same message when I ran setup.exe on the laptop. I tried running it with a "run as administrator" command prompt, double-clicking in Windows Explorer, start > run and the same thing happens. At least it doesn't appear that it has actually installed anything yet.
    I did notice that my new PC has a program called "7-zip 9.20" installed which I do not remember installing and its install date is prior to my purchase of the PC so I'm guessing it came with it (HP Pavilion 15t running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The Windows 7 Desktop does not have this program installed. It is available from C|net where it has a good rating. Perhaps setup.exe does further extracting and the 7-zip program is the culprit? This is a long shot.
    I searched for others with this problem and found lots of issues installing Dw CS4, but none quite like this.

    Awesome! That worked! Actually I searched three folders (Program Files, Program Files (x86) & Program Data) for caps.db and found:
    c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Elements\caps.db (dated 9/2/2011)
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup\caps.db
    I ignored the first one since it might be needed by the Premier Elements 10 I installed yesterday and changed the name of the other one from caps.db to barb.fix.
    I changed the install folder from c:\Program Files\Adobe to c:\Program Files (x86) just in case CS4 is a 32-bit application which I had done before when installing on my Windows7 Desktop. Now that the install has completed I see that I have caps.db files dated 5/5/2014 in
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\backup\caps.db (barb.fix is still there but is only 26kb vs 3291 kb for the new caps.db)
    Thank-you so much! Now wish me luck when I try to open it for the first time!

  • I can't install dreamweaver CS4

    I have buy Creative Suite design premium and i can't install dreamweaver CS4
    before i installed DW CS4 beta for test and put the icon in the bin to desinstall it and now i can(t use the buy version

    You can't just trash Adobe apps. You need to uninstall them.
    Now you'll need to hunt down the CS4 clean script and run that.

  • Can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7.  Setup error

    I can't install Dreamweaver CS4 on WIndows 7.  I get a vague error that says Setup error, sontact Adobe Customer Support. Adobe Customer Support refuses to help me.  That really upsets me. 

    First of all I would like to thank the people that responded to my post.  I am extreemly impressed with your eagerness to help and your concern for my problem.  Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
    I did not see a way to get a transcript of my chat.  I should have printed it at the conclusion of my chat. Overall though, I think my concerns are with Windows itself and also how Adobe as a company handles a call from someone who gets an installation error that says "call Adobe Customer Support". I purchased this program to run on Windows 7 and I am installing it on a Windows 7 computer. I feel that if Adobe is going to give a vague error message and tell you to contact them, they should give me more assistance than "your product is too old, good luck on the forums". I could see if I am calling and asking them how to do something, maybe my product is too old for that, but I think their responce was unacceptable.  I hope enough other people complain so that Adobe changes this policy.
    Wow, this has taken an enormous amount of time to deal with. I imagine this is mainly a Windows file permissions issue, but I think Adobe needs to take some ownership for a client having to spend many HOURS trying to install their program on the original OS they purchased the program for.
    I definitely do not like the way the Adobe Dreamweaver installer deals with errors. Here are the facts as I know them.
    When the installer would fail on install, the subsequesnt install would fail, but it would give a VERY cryptic error stating that the install failed and I need to contact Adobe customer service.
    In order to re-install I had to un-install.  Naturally my un-installs failed every time, too. After lots of trial and error and checking the forumns, I found   the program install folders under c:\programs. I deleted them, re-booted, unistalled again with no errors.  Then I could re-install without the vague "contact Adobe customer support" error.  Note that I had to re-install several times to get to the bottom of the installation problem so this took a long time to figure out.
    In the end, I had to manually delete files from C:\Windows\Installer in order to get Dreamweaver to install.  This took a long time to figure out, too.  It still installed with errors, but it said Dreamweaver would work with limited functionality. So far this is good enough for me and I am tired of spending non-billable time on this.
    Following is one of the main erros I got during the first failed install.  IF ANYONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHY MY INSTALL WAS FAILING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.  IT SEEMS LIKE IT DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO ACCESS THOSE FILES, BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AS THE PROGRAM IS INSTALLED AS ADMINISTRATOR. Any thoughts???
    Thanks again everyone who helped!

  • Cannot re-install Dreamweaver CS4

    Two weeks ago I had a problem with my Windows XP Pro installation and had to "repair" the OS installation. After the repair everything that I had installed on this machine worked fine, save Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver would open but gave me nothing but a blank gray screen.
    Assuming that an uninstall followed by a re-install would solve the problem, I proceeded to do just that. Boy, was I ever wrong. Two weeks later and about 40 hours of trying everything and everything that Adobe had to offer, I'm no closer to a working system than I was two weeks ago.
    When I attempt to install the system, the installation process hangs at about 90% of the "Checking system" bar and never even gets to the actual installation phase. Inasmuch as I had it up and running for more than four months prior to Win XP crashing, I know the machine is capable of handling the system.
    I have tried all 10 of the "suggestions" that Adobe makes regarding this problem. I have tried uninstalling everything Adobe on the machine, from Flash Player to Acrobat. I have run the CS5CleanupScript, which, if you follow the instructions and uninstall the product first, doesn't do squat, because (you guessed it) the Adobe product has been removed and the cleanup utility can't find it. Calling Tech Support is a joke, as after waiting an hour or so, all you get is some Indian or Philippino whos English is limited to "You must pray $39.00 prease".
    I have searched every file on my computer and have uninstalled and/or deleted each and every file that contains anything referring to Adobe, Dreamweaver, CS4 and/or CS5. I have also done the same with the Windows registry, searching and removing any and all references to Dreamweaver. I still cannot get past the startup installation screen.
    I have copied the CD onto my hard drive and attempted an installation from there with no success. I have tried it with a new user; I have tried it with each of the three Windows "Safe" modes. Absolutely nothing I do will re-install this product. I paid good money for this and even though CS5 is now available, I believe that I should still be able to use waht I paid for six months ago.
    Can anyone give me any hint as to how to get Dreamweaver to install? Thanks for any help.

    Knowing that you did all the clean tools and everything else, the only logical explanation left is that there is still a lingering problem in your OS installation.  How exactly did you "repair" Windows XP?  Did you do a complete re-install of the operation system or some other function.  That might shed some light on possible problems and solutions. 

  • Need to re-install DreamWeaver CS4 and Captivate 4

    I have license keys for DreamWeaver CS4 and Captivate 4. I just had my laptop reimaged and need to reinstall this software--however, I can find downloads for only Version 5 of these products.
    How can I reainstall the older versions?
    [email address deleted by host]

    Go to this guy's profile, where you will see his blog address.  Go there and you'll find links to old versions.  Very handy!    Make sure you follow the instructions about logging into Adobe etc first to the letter or it won't work.

  • Extension Manager CS4 not installing extensions in Dreamweaver CS4

    Just installed CS4 Design Premium. Now i want to install some
    extensions to Dreamweaver.
    When I click on the extension to install it I get a message
    from the Extension Manager saying:
    "This extension can not be installed, it products requires
    Dreamweaver 6 or greater. To install this extension, please try to
    install Dreamweaver CS4 or use Extension Manager CS3 which works
    with Adobe CS3 and earlier products."
    I have even tried to install it by opening the Extension
    Manager from Dreamweaver via the
    Commands menu, with the same results.
    - I have version 2.0.274 of Adobe Extension Manager CS4.
    - I do not see the Dreamweaver icon in Extension Manager's
    product list*
    - I tried to reinstall Dreamweaver
    (which also reinstalled Extension Manager)
    - Easy to forget; I am on a Mac
    - The extensions should be okay, as they install quite nice
    in Dreamweaver CS3
    I tried to look for a
    plist to edit, but as I do not really know what to look for
    this action failed.
    *in the same order i find the icons of Flash CS4, Fireworks
    CS4, Photoshop CS4, Indesign CS4, Illustrator CS4 and Bridge CS4 in
    the products list.

    What extensions are you trying to install?

  • Dreamweaver CS4 will not install

    I have a windows 7 PC. I have used Dreamweaver CS4 in the past on this computer.
    However after I did a recent return to factory settings I have problems when trying to reinstall the program from the disc.
    On the first attempt it seemed to install but I got a message saying the installation was incomplete but that the program would function.
    When I tried to use the program I got a message that there were no "Resources"
    So I tried to reinstall but this time it would not install at all.
    Is there some update I can download that would help?
    Please advise

    I was not sure how to follow some of the instructions for the Cleaner Tool so I was looking around for more explanation and meanwhile
    I found find a page on the Adobe site for downloads of "older" products.
    I was able to download and successfully install Dreamweaver CS4 from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
    Thanks for your advice and for taking the time to respond.

  • Installed DW CS4 now can't save or open in illustrator 10 ?

    I installed Dreamweaver CS4 over the weekend and today I need to do some illustrator (10) work and the program crashes on file>open and on file>save. I can load a file into dreamweaver by clicking the file name in explorer and I can do a 'save as', but I cannot directly open or save.
    I am pretty sure this is a dll problem, something got overwritten when I installed Dreamweaver. Can anyone shed some light on this ?

    The only thing I could find that closely resembled your issue was the following: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/321431 but it is the reverse of your situation, it has the CS4 version crashing in SP2.  Technically speaking Adobe "recommends" SP3 of Windows XP even though SP2 is listed.  I do not know if updating would possibly cause Illustrator to stop working though.
    What I would recommend at this point is to contact Adobe technical support and raise this as an installation issue that the installation is not working properly and see how they handle it.  They will need access to your installation log ( KB Article explaining how to get it: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404083.html ).  Then with a trouble ticket online you can upload the log via FTP (instructions given to you during process) and then Adobe can help you out.

  • Can I transfer the font list into Dreamweaver CS4?

    Hi and thanks for reading,
    I just installed Dreamweaver CS4 after depending on DW 8 for
    the last few years. It's a fantastic upgrade. But I miss my old
    font list. I spent a lot of time creating a great list of cascading
    fonts for my style sheets in DW 8. Is there any way to grab that
    list and import (if that's the right word) it into Dreamweaver CS4?
    I'm referring to the list of installed fonts that DW displays
    after typing the CSS font property.

    > In Vista, does is customized version there or in
    > %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\...
    I think it can go either place. The former location is
    vulnerable to a
    reinstall, though, while the latter is not. I'm assuming
    that's what you
    are asking....
