Re-installing CS4 web premium

Hello all,
I have a new macbook pro and used the migration asisstant to transfer files and software from the old to the new computer. Unfortunately, the Adobe CS4 wouldn't load. When I clicked on the icon to enter the code, it crashed over and over. So I thought I would re-install the software. I downloaded it from the Adobe downloads page and ran the installer but it doesn't install the software. The CS4 option is grayed out. I tried uninstalling and then ran the installer again but the same thing occurred. Help?
Thanks

Run the Adobe Cleaner Tool

Then re-install CS4. You'll need your CS4 serial number.

Migration never works for Adobe software. It must be installed.

Install CS4 web premium on a new computer without "old product/serial number" that I need to validate this copy?

I am trying to install CS4 web premium on a new computer and have the serial number/date of purchase for this product, but at the start of installation it wants an old product previously installed and what that serial number is. There's a chance it's on some old computer in a box, but I haven't seen / used a product besides CS4 in years (purchased in 2011) and don't know how I can put it on this new computer & get back to using it without knowing this mystery serial number? Thanks for your help & suggestions

It appears you purchased an upgrade version of CS4 and if so you are required to prove that you qualify for using it. This means you need to identify the old version and its serial number - no way around that. You will need to find that mystery version information. If you check your Adobe account online you might find it.

Cannot install CS4 Web Premium

I am having problem in installation CS4 Web Premium in my Windows Vista x64 Ultimate. I will get Internet Explorer SCript Error:
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file://C:/Users/xxxxx/AppData/Local/Temp/ahmbedAlter.html
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Yes/No
I can't do anything once this happened. Tried to Yes or No will not help. After clicking many times, a dialog box will come up for follow up action (like to quit?) but there is no OK or Cancal or whatever button. I have to use Task Manager to kill the installation program.
I have tried to search for installation script error but none seems to be the same as mine. I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

I installed CS4 Web Premium, do I need to uninstall CS2? (I don't have CS3) If so, how?

I thought the installer would just upgrade my existing CS2 apps but after I installed CS4, I saw that all the CS2 apps were still there! Do I need to uninstall them manually? If so, how? Is there any danger in doing that? Or should I uninstall CS4 then uninstall CS2, then reinstall CS4???? Thanks much for any advice/help!

Karen,
No. This is a full-version upgrade, meaning that it is a complete installation, independent of any past versions installed. Both versions can coexist and can be used.
But if you double-click on a file to launch the application, the most recent version prevails. If you prefer to have the older version default (for the current work session), launch it first, then double-click on the files to work on them.

I upgraded my computer from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional and I am attempting to install CS4 Web Premium.

I downloaded the latest CS4 from the support site and installed, entering my registration number. Installation seemed to go well but when I try to open Photoshop, I get a message that there are some files missing in the application folder and I must reinstall. I've done this about 3 times now. Can someone help?

Data Base is corrupt message when Installing CS4 web premium unto new computer

Just purchased a new HP desktop running Win7-64bit and when attempting to load CS4 I keep getting an error message indicating that "Installer data base is corrupt", and to contact Adobe Customer Service. I already have it installed in another HP DT running Win7 64bit so I don't believe the new machine could be the problem... any suggestions?

I'm having a very similar issue and it seems to me that absolutely no one knows anything about this and/or are willing to help. They've given me some advice but nothing has helped and when I ask more questions for specifics they won't respond.

Flash will not install from CS4 Web Premium on XP

I installed CS4 Web Premium a while back and, since I do not do a lot of Flash development, I didn't realize right off that Flash CS4 did not install. However, I just tried to go back and install it from the DVD and it shows in the list but the box in front of it is uncheckable. The heading at the top says to check the boxes to install or reinstall the applications. Other programs such as Dreamweaver, Contribute, Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. can be checked but the box in front of Flash (and Soundbooth, etc.) are unresponsive. I do still have CS3 Web Premium on this machine which has Flash CS3 Professional and Flash CS3 Video Encoder as well as also still having Studio 8 and CS 2 with Flash 8 and Flash 8 Video encoder and InDesign CS2 & CS3, Visual Communicator, VlogIt, etc.. Do I need to remove any of those first? This machine is about 3 years old (Dell Optiplex GX620) running Win XP. I'm about to upgrade to a new machine in about a month that will be running Windows 7. So I will be doing a clean install of CS4 Web Premium then. But it would be nice to fix this so I can work on some Flash files before then. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I'm assuming you are using the Manual Install. Did you already Uninstall any current Flash Player version?
If not, download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Use the EXE Installer for Windows and Internet Explorer. Use the EXE Installer for the plugin based browsers
Then use the Administrator Account and CLOSE all browser Windows. Disable any instant messenger service from the system tray.
Run the Uninstaller and reboot(restart) your computer.
Then Run the Installer and reboot.
That message appears because the IE browser window is open.
Thanks,

Right proceedure for reinstalling Dreamweaver (CS4 Web Premium)

I may have to reinstall my Win 7 Pro system due to a number of little quirks that are popping up. Same PC ...same HDD etc. I do have an image backup...but not from as early as I would like to go. Thinking a clean install would be best.
What is the best way to do this so I don't lose/or invalidate my current activation of Web Premium CS4 ?
Thanks much...TR

Thanks John...just to be clear...should one "deactivate all CS4 programs in the suite or will deactivating 1 deactivate all installed CS4 Web Premium apps ?

CS4 Web Premium Installation "Installer Database Corrupt. Contact Adobe Customer Service."

I need help.
I just purchased a HP Envy 23 running Windows 8. It came with Adobe Premiere and Elements 11 already installed.
I own Lightroom 3, which I installed very quickly and easily.
I own CS4 Web Premium with the serial number at hand. I insert the disk 1 to install and the error message appears: "Installer Database Corrupt. Contact Adobe Customer Service." After serveral attempts, I resort to researching on this forum.
In the forum, found here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1238032 I was asked to go the linked website and download and specifically follow the instructions to install CS4 from the internet. I did what I was told as closely as possible.
I received the same error message: "Installer Database Corrupt."
I asked if I needed to uninstall Elements 11 before trying to install CS4 but haven't received a response. Actually, now Adobe won't let me sign on with my password and when I request for a new one it doesn't send me a confirmation email so I have resorted to making a new username.
I called Adobe about the issue with the error and was directed back here to the forum because they do not have phone service support for CS2, CS3, CS4, or CS5 because it is "old" technology. I am loosing lots of work time because I can't seem to get a quick response to my questions here on the forum.
I found another forum saying that I need to rename the file "caps.db." to "xcaps.db" and it will install just fine. I did what it said, looking for any and every folder in both premiere and elements to rename anything that began with "caps" After doing so, I still got the error message.
What I need to know is:
1. How can I install CS4 Web Premium either by disk or internet without getting an error.
2. Must I totally uninstall Elements and Premiere to get CS4 installed? I really don't want to do that since I paid for them with the purchase of my computer.
I'd really like some answers. Thanks.

You're going to need to be more specific about what I am supposed to do because I'm very unfamiliar with computer lingo. I don't know what an OEM is and I am unsure about these backup disks you are referring to. The expertise on this forum is the only lifeline I have to fixing this Adobe issue so I really want to try my best here to get things resolved. I've not heard of deleting caps.db and haven't heard of anything to do with medai.db files before. I'm supposed to delete these instead of renaming caps?

CS4 Web Premium & Extension Manager

HI,
This should be an easy one for you. It's just a quick question.
I currently have DW 8 and will be installing CS4 Web Premium.
Before I do I would like to know if the DW extensions that I have purchased and installed will be removed once I install CS4?
If so, what should I do to save my extensions?
That's it.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem and the same questions about Adobe's licencing strategy.

Cs4 web premium on windows 2000 sp4

Hi all,
I had to install cs4 web premium on a win 2000 server as my development box. During installation I got "unsupported configuration - ..this software requies winxp sp2 or later. please upgrade or adjust your system to meet these minimum requirements...".
How can I adjust the system?
Regards,
Sean

Creative Suite 4 requires at least Windows XP for installation. The adjustment in this case is to do a clean install of Window XP (or later, including Windows Vista or Windows 7) and then install CS4.

Install demo of CS4 Web Premium-Photoshop Installs 64 bit and x86 versions but 64 bit does not work

Just installed the CS4 Web Premium demo onto a brand new 64 bit i7 processor with Windows Seven Home Premium machine with 9gb memory. The install seems to be fine except it installed a 64 bit version as well as x86 version into different folders. The x86 version works fine but the 64 bit version does not.
Every time I try to open a file using "Open With' I get the following message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
First of all why does it install both versions and why does it try to open everything in the 64bit version even after specifically telling it to open in the x86 version (even after setting the default file association to the x86 version.
I would of course like to use the 64 bit veriosn but if it not going to work. I'll use the 32 bit version. I just wantto be able to right click my mouse and be able to "Open With". I can open Photoshop 32 bit and open the file that way but it is a pain to do that way.
Any help would be appreciated

Both are installed to allow you to use 32 bit plugins. As for the problem, you'll get far more attention in the Photoshop forum.

How do I install the Content DVD in CS4 Web Premium?

I can't find anything about this on the forum. Sorry if it has been asked before (I know it's a very basic question), but can anyone tell me how I install the Content DVD in CS4 Web Premium, please? This is the DVD that contains the PDF manuals, Fonts and samples / tutorials for Fireworks and Photoshop.
The first two DVDs (Application 1 and 2) installed automatically, and then went straight to the Registration page without prompting me to insert any further DVDs. All of the software from the first two DVDs seems to have installed correctly.
However, when I insert the third DVD (Content), it will not auto-run. I see ut contains an "autorun.inf" file that references a program called "autoplay.exe", but the latter isn't present on the DVD. Could this be the problem?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Cutomer support on this issue is attrocious.
Here is what I asked them:
"Can you please tell me how to install the Content DVD in CS4 Web Premium? This is the DVD that contains the PDF manuals, Fonts and s

This is their reply:

All very polite, but totally useless. They clearly haven't understood a word I said.

CS4 Web Premium (Student Ed) Online Install - Setup.exe does nothing

I purchased and then downloaded CS4 Web Premium Student Edition. The first download was corrupted (due to an internet failure midway) so I erased and re-downloaded. The files extracted without issue under the new download. However, whenever I attempt to install by clicking Setup.exe, nothing happens. The cursor changes into the "hourglass" as if the system is processing something, then it changes back to the normal cursor -- and nothing happens. No processes are available in the Task Manager, either.
Following advice I've found scattered across forums all over the web, I have removed every Adobe software previously installed using Control Panel (Acrobat, Reader, PsE, PrE, & a trial Illustrator), disabled User Account Control, disabled antivirus/firewall software, ran Setup "as administator", tried Safe Mode, and restarted the computer several times. None of these methods produced any change in outcome whatsoever.
I am running HP Touchsmart tx2z, less than a month old and running like a charm, with the following specs:
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit) *I download all available updates
AMD Turion(TM) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-87 (2.4GHz, 2MB L2 Cache)
8GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
ATI Radeon(TM) HD 3200 Graphics with 64MB Display Cache Memory
Devoid of other advice, I will try reseting my system to factory defaults. However, I dread re-downloading the 4GB file (an 8 hour process), reconfiguring my system, backing all of my files up elsewhere, and reinstalling all other new software -- so any ideas are appreciated.

extra information,
when i run setup for premiere CS4 and open the setup in windows task the size is the same as the setup folder.
when i run setup for web premium CS4 and lopen the setup in windows task the size is 0,0 mb.
think this is the reason why the setup wont start.
hope this extra information is of any use
