Trial install fails on Vista 64

I wonder if anyone can help me? I was going to buy Premiere Pro as it is highly recommended by our media folk, but now am not sure. I can't get the trial version to install on Vista 64; the only message is "Setup has encountered an error. Contact product support". As if there were such a thing anymore.
I have disabled UAC, Defender, firewall, antivirus, spybot, and am running on an admin account with full privvies anyway... am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
DD

Seems to be a x64 problem, because I'm trying to install on the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (RC1) and got a fairly same error message:
Adobe Anchor Service CS4
Error:
Error 1603.
Error 1402.
Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\C2A2A973-71FD-33D4-BB5A-610DE8420B9A\A4378161-7593-DDA4-1899-9F3767139 08A
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
I did some digging and actually got pointed in the right direction through Adobe Support where I found a technote on this subject.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404622.html
By just following the instructions I found out that the regkey:C2A2A973-71FD-33D4-BB5A-610DE8420B9A is accessible but the value A4378161-7593-DDA4-1899-9F376713908A is protected by means of restricted permissions.
At step 8 or 9 of the Technote you do also have to set the Administrators permission in the tabs: Auditing and Effective Permissions.
You will also have to make Administrators the owner. Do not forget to check EVERY checkbox and after that press APPLY. Just pressing OK will not do the job.
And just to be sure, I also did a search in the registry on A4378161-7593-DDA4-1899-9F376713908A and found another hit. So I changed that one also with the account-permissions-method.
After making these thrilling changes in the registry (you DID take the advice in the technote to fost make a backup of the registry, didn't you?) I was able to delete the whole register-key.
After all this, I was able to install CS4 on my Windows 7 system with no problems of what so ever!!!
All in a nutshell: CS4 tried to make a change withing the registry of Windows but failed due to a write-protection on the users-account level.
I hope you all will have as much luck with this as I did.
If it works on Windows 7 x64 then it will also work on Windows Vista x64, because actually Win7 is a much better version of Vista.

  • PSE8 Trial - Install  problem with Vista

    Hi,
       When I  try to install the trial version on my Vista laptop it gets to approx 95% of finishing then starts to roll back. Then I get the message "Installation was interrupted before completion. Your system has not been modifed" Thats it, no clues as to what needs modifing. Any ideas ? Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Is your problem resolved? if not, try deleting the cache.db and then installing again and see if that fixes this issue?
    cache.db can be located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\
    NOTE: This action may require you to enter the serial number for any other Adobe product already installed/activated on your machine and if you are running some Adobe product then this action may or may not wipe out the remaining trial period.

  • CP5 trial install fails after beta

    We are attempting to install Cp5 on an OSX machine that previously had the Cp5 beta installed.  The Beta was deleted but not properly uninstalled using the uninstall software.  The Cp5 trial install still detects the old software.  Any suggestions to remove the remnants of the beta to allow the new install?

    We found the original DMG, reinstalled the beta and then uninstalled.  That solved the problem.

  • Photoshop cs4 install fails on Vista with registry access error 1406

    I've been trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my Vista for a couple of days now.  It grinds for a minute or two then tells me "Installation of the following components has failed:  Adobe Drive CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4"  when I cancel the install and click the "More Information" button, I see this:
    Adobe CSI CS4
    Error:

    When I go into regedit, I have no problem creating a string value in the indicated key.
    Here are some of the things I've tried:
    1) run setup as administrator (even tho I have UAC turned off)
    2) run setup in WinXP SP2 compatibility mode
    3) use the Adobe Support Advisor to track down the error in their knowledge base and followed steps to apply permissions to descendents of the indicated tree
    Done lots of googling plus searching of the experts-eschange knowledge base.

    Choose Custom during install, deselect Version Cue, Adobe Drive and Acrobat.com. The CSI Service is related to that.

  • Acrobat reader install fails on vista - says close windows explorer

    I'm trying to install the latest reader on a Windows Vista laptop but the installation fails with an error message "you must close windows explorer".  In task manager there are no running applications but I can see explorer.exe in the list of processes.  I think this is running the desktop/taskbar so I don't want to close it.  Any ideas how to get round this?
    TIA

    This might work.
    1) Open Adobe Reader
    2) Go to Edit then Preferences
    3) Under Categories on the left side click on Internet
    4) Uncheck Display PDF in browser and click Ok.

  • Elements 7 install fails on vista 64 bit

      I ran the downloaded exe file an ran it as an administrator, with Norton turned off..........
    any ideas?
           Confused

    I ran the downloaded exe file an ran it as an administrator
    Do you mean that you ran it from an account that has administrator priviliges, or that you right-clicked the downloaded .exe and selected Run As Administrator?  On Vista, the two are not the same; if you haven't already, try the latter (Run As Administrator).

  • Itunes 10.5 Install fail (win Vista 32bit)

    Hello everyone. I'm really frustrated why i can't complete the new update for itunes. I've had no problems with previous updates/installers. Check the picture below (it's in dutch). What should I do? I uninstalled itunes, maybe that should work for installing the new update but doesn't do nothing. Help?
    Translated: There is a problem with this Windows-Installer package. A program that is required for completing the installation cannot be executed. Contact the system support.

    What worked for me with Itunes 10.5.2 on an XP machine was to completely uninstall Itunes and all of its components and then reinstall Itunes. Just unistalling Itunes itself did now work. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925

  • Windows 7 (64 bit ) or Vista Ultimate (64 bit)  Install fails -

    Hi everyone.
    Any chance of the ABAP sneak preview working  on a 64 bit OS (Vista or preferably Windows 7 -- much less resource hungry - system).
    I'm running Windows 7 X-64 build 7048.winmain.090219-1845 -- it's 95% at Release Candidate level and works really fast. Runs absolute RINGS around my old Vista ultimate system.
    Most decent laptops  these days have 4GB RAM and are dual processors 64 bit capable.
    I'm still having to run the sneak preview on an XP PRO Virtual machine -- would really like to run in on Native hardware however.
    The first fail occurs when trying to install the MMC snap in console -- since this is the ist task it wasn't worth going any further.
    I hope SAP gets a Windows 7 version available soon -- Windows 7 is SO much better than VISTA even with SP1 applied  I'm sure lots of companies will skip the whole VISTA thing and go straight to W7 anyway.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    yes, I have noticed the same , that there is 64 bit SAP MMC present in the installation folders of recent SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Trial Version. Moreover , there is also the 64 bit MAXDB provided.
    But so what, the installer does not take them into processing. I used the correct version of Java 1.4.2_23 .
    Installing in the Vista 64 bit Vista Business , I faced several problems with that , few of which I overcome , but still not successful. First problem was in step 2 , when installing the SAP MMC. 1063 - fatal error, wrong system version.
    I tried the 64bit binaries out.  I manipulated on the control.xml file, changing the name of the file from sapmmcX86u.msi to sapmmcX64u.msi. It helped, I passed the step . The SAP MMC installed succesfuly in 64 bit version.
    It looks like the routine SystemMgt().getSystemInfo().getMakePlatform() of the java installer gives out the wrong name of the platform. Should return 'ntamd64' instead of 'ntintel'.
    The installation failed than on the step - creating database. Same problem, there is the wrong MAXDB folder chosen. I swapped the names of the folders, changed the label.asc file , and - success again , the database installed in 64 bit version without a problem.
    So, where's the problem  ?  It failed at the step : create databes instance. There is some parameter missing. The scripts are simply not capable of doing the installation right in AMD64 platform.
    I also doubt if this process can be accomplished without the SAP kernel in 64 bit version , that I do not see in the package.
    There is only the  SAP_Kernel_701SR1_for_x386 folder  containing that.
    Can someone help me ? Will it run on Vista 64 ?
    Do we have to wait for SAP to release a proper version of SAP Kernel ? If yes, than why there are some 64 bit binaries already provided in the installation package.  Only this keeps me in the hope.
    I noticed simillar questions raised in few other topics , without an answer though.
    Tomek.

  • Failed to install CS3 on Vista - Component Install Failed

    I am unable to install Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard on Windows Vista 32-bit OS.
    Short version:
    When I insert the installation CD and go to auto play, it says that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional is all ready installed and greys it out, making it impossible to select as a choice.  Funny thing is, Adobe Acrobat 8 shouldn't be installed - more details on that debacle below.  Then when I try to install the rest, Shared Components installs successfully but the rest of the programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Version Cue) don't and cite "Component install failed".
    The Beginning:
    This all started with the pesky "Licensing for this product has stopped working" etc.  So I went and tried all the solutions Adobe provided about FlexNet.  Those didn't work.  So I sucked it up and went to uninstall and install.
    When I went to install, things seemed to be fine, shared components were installed and it started installing InDesign.  Then, my computer decided to randomly shut down during Adobe installation.
    Upon restart, I tried installing again and got the Component install failed error messages for everything but Shared Components.  So then I tried going to Add/Remove programs to uninstall Creative Suite.
    That seemed to remove everything except Acrobat 8.  The add/remove window did not list Acrobat 8 as an option to uninstall.  So I went to Adobe's solution about how to uninstall Acrobat 8.  Ran the C5 Cleaner Tool.  Then went to cmd to del AcroIEHelper, Acro PDF, pdfshell etc.  Was told "Access denied".  So then I went to manually delete from Program Files, took ownership of what files I could and deleted everything except Acrobat\Resource\CMap.  These files appear to be read-only.  Attempting to delete says "You need permission to perform this action.  Try again".
    I attempted to install ignoring that there's little pieces of Acrobat 8 still on the computer.  Again, got component install failed.
    I think the problem is that I can't clean up the last remnants of the previous install of CS 3, which Adobe lists as a potential cause for the Component install failure.
    All ready tried solutions:
    C5 Cleaner
    Safe Mode
    Programs to delete files : Eraser, CCleaner
    Disabling permissions (still get "you need permission)
    What else can I try to fix this?
    Thank you!
