Why is my Photoshop CS4 not installing both 64 and 32 bit versions?

Hello,
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
I purchased and downloaded Photoshop CS4 Extended and it installed as a 64 bit program. Now I need a 32 bit version also (for some Nik plugins), but the installer didn't install the 32 bit version (it would be in Program Files (x86). It should have installed both as a default.
Also, I didn't change the default pathing as I know that can screw the install up.
I ran the install program again and it runs through the complete install without giving me the Options Panel to select which version 64 or 32 (or both) to install.
Should I completely uninstall PS and reinstall to see if I get the install Options Panel?  Other Ideas?
Thanks!
Chris

"it is not possible to just install the 32 bit version without an uninstall?"
It's a great idea, but I don't know how. I have the downloaded the PS CS4 file from Adobe that I used to originally install PS. I re-ran this install program and it reinstalled the same 64bit program that I already have; it never gave me any options as to which version to install.
I'm think I'll just have to de-activate, uninstall, reinstall to get the PS install Options Panel.

  • Photoshop CS4 - How to install both   64 and 32 bit versions on XP 64

    Hello-
    When I installed Photoshop CS4 along with the other apps on CS4 Web Premium I thought that both versions of PShop would be installed by default, but that was not the case with my installation; only the 64 bit version was installed.
    Now I would like to install the 32 bit version but when I try to do it through setup I am unable to check the box. There is a list of "Installed Products" and then "Available Products"; the only thing under "Available Products" is Photoshop CS4, but I am unable to check the box.
    Any ideas on how I can install the 32-bit version? I want it for the GPU acceleration and to use certain plugins.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    a)re: built for XP64 - note that I said "gave the [erroneous] impression," meaning that someone could plausibly infer that PSCS4 64 will not run reliably on XP 64, which is categorically untrue. I am NOT saying that there are not people who have had problems and will continue having problems with PS CS4 on XP 64.* However, I am personally attesting - having worked with PS CS on my XP 64 system a lot since buying it this week, including continuously since I reinstalled last night ( I tend to work at night) - that PS CS4 runs gloriously on XP 64, INCLUDING the OpenGL stuff once you patch the reg via the link I posted (which, by the way, would have been a valid answer to my question).
    On that note, telling me stuff that I already know is NOT a valid answer. Further, as we have seen, my running this on XP 64, as opposed to Vista, was irrelevant, if only (but not really only) because that is not the system to which my question referred. How did telling me about Vista help? If you don't know what to do with XP 64, then you don't know....I didn't know either, at least when I posed my question. Your reference to Vista was POINTLESS.
    b) re: installing to non-default directory. I have been doing this for so long that I can't remember not doing it, and I have never, ever had a problem like this, and I do have other dual-bit depth apps. This should be a non-issue. If I thought it was relevant I would have mentioned it, but in light of what I just said, it did not seem to be a factor. Crikey- CS3 is in that same directory! Why would Adobe's installer get confused? They are the same structures, i.e. %disk%:\Program Files, %disk%:\Program Files (x86). If you knew things that might cause my problem - you didn't-you might have asked about my install.... Instead, you told me what anyone who had read my question would already know that I knew, namely that there would be two different locations for the two different versions. Incidentally, and here's good intel here, when you do get them both installed, you get BOTH versions listed in your Adobe CS4 whatever edition programs folder. Right there! So, if you had known what you were on about, you would have realized that there was NO WAY that PS 32 was mysteriously hiding somewhere. This is another clue that you knew nothing about the subject you were purportedly answering!
    So why, why, why am I picking on you? Because there was a time when you could post a simple question on the internets and some helpful soul would take the time to actually read and consider the question before giving an answer that, even if not ultimately fruitful, was at least in the freaking ballpark. But those days are gone** and even though I know that and I expect nothing, I posted anyway, and along came you, with two heaping helpings of SQUAT in terms of useful advice. What the hey? Are you that bored that you just dole out crappy advice? Watch more TV or something!
    Jeez!
    Thanks,

    *My relevant system specs are as follows, for those who may want to give XP 64 a shot: and/or are having problems:
    XP 64 SP2 ( there is no SP3 for 64 and parenthetically I will note that CS4 on XP 32 SP2 runs fine even though you get a warning on install that it is supposed to have SP3 installed)
    8 GB RAM
    AMD 64X2 5600 on AMD/ATI 780G Chipset with dual integrated ATI 3200 Graphic plus an extra ATI 3400 card running three different monitors (2 on the 3200 and one on the 3400). On my setup PS likes to enable and actually work with the OpenGL stuff when I launch either/or the 64 or 32 bit version on the monitor that is attached to the 3400 card. After that I can drag the app anywhere I want and it works.
    ** in July, as myself and my girlfriend were getting ready for our vacation, we posted on a location-specific travel group to ask if people knew if the hotel we were staying at had a safe for our laptop. We got like thirteen responses, all more or less to the effect that we should leave the laptop at home when we go on vacation. Not ONE answer about the hotel! WTF???

    Please do not use the post title to post the entire question (no offense, it just makes the forum look ugly). As for your question - you really did install it? I mean with serial and install disc? If so, the update would work, because it would find the proper install info. That not being the case, there are a few things that may be wrong:
    - due to you language settings, the installer cannot find the folder because it has a different name (though on Vista, that shouldn't be an issue)
    - at some point, you used the CS4 Clean Utility/ Script to remove install info
    - you are using a pirated copy that you may have bought on eBay or elsewhere that has a modified installer to circumvent licensing
    - you are using an unlicensed version a "friend" gave you and that never was installed, but merely copied to the harddrive
    That pretty much covers the immediate options, now it's up to you to tell us, which one may apply. Assuming, we are talking about perfectly legit software, re-installing it from the original media should take care of the problem. For illegal software, you should understand, that you are utterly on your own and nobody will help you, much less on the forums of the company producing the software.

  • Should I install both 64 and 32 bit photoshop on my Vista 64 bit?

    Should I install both 64 and 32 bit photoshop on my Vista 64 bit?

    Some plug-ins require the 32-bit version. If you are going to just use it as is, no plug-ins for devices, then th 64-bit version should be fine.

  • Both 32 and 64 bit versions of Photoshop CS6 installed

    You can't. You need to uninstall both and then reinstall only the 64bit version, if that is what you want.

  • Why is Adobe Photoshop CS6 not installing?

    It's already been installed before but asked to be uninstalled, photoshop didn't even open up when this dialogue box appeared. I installed the trial version, and I didn't get to use it, and only had it for about half a day and I have the Adobe Download Assistant and it still won't work. I would like to reinstall it and try to use it best before it's trial time runs out, but it won't even let me download, what is the problem here and how can I fix it?

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try again. Alos use the direct download method described here:

  • X64Camera Raw and 32 bit version of Photoshop

    Weird question I know
    Here is my question - Cs5 installed both 32 and 64 bit version on my Win 7 x64 installation.
    Now, some of the plugins are not yet x64 compatible. What I want ACR to do is to open the files in the 32bit version of CS5 when clicking on "Open Image/s"
    How can one set this in ACR??
    Many thanks

    Jeff Schewe wrote:
    Alternatively you can launch ACR from Bridge which will also open the 32-bit version of Camera Raw.
    I don't believe this is correct, Jeff.  In my experience (and many others), the default is 64-bit PS when opened in the sequence Bridge>ACR>PS.
    There are scripts floating around the web that will modify the Registry so that ACR will default to 32-bit PS.  Some people also claim that using file associations to specifically link image files to the 32-bit PS (inside of Program Files(x82) will also work although I have not had luck with that method myself.
    I will check later to see if I can find some example scripts.  In the mean time, perhaps someone will beat me to it.  I believe they have been included in posts here in the Adobe forums - if not here in Adobe Camera Raw, perhaps the main PS forum.
    I was a little disappointed when Adobe didn't include some kind of switch or utility to handle this in CS5 since it has been an annoyance since CS4 and is still a bother for many people who have filters that don't work in 64-bit.

  • SSIS used to integrate SQ Server and Oracle - Is it necessary both 32 and 64 bits Oracle Clients installed?

    Hi all,
       SQL Server 2012 EE 64 bits (SOURCE)
        Oracle 12c 64 bits (DESTINATION)
       To make my solution - integrate SQL Server with Oracle - work, i had to install both 32 and 64 bits of the Oracle 12c Client. After that, i had to change the properties of my SSIS package to run on 32 bits only (properties > Debugging >
    Run64BitRuntime set to FALSE). Before i made this change, the execution of my package was failing, but after setting Run64BitRuntime to false, the package ran successfully. Why is that?
       I am thinking of unistalling the 64 bits ORacle Client from my Windows Server, but i fear that if i uninstall, my package stop working. 
       Any suggestions/corrections will be most appreciated. 
       Thanks in advance
       OBS1: I am using ODBC as the source and destination tasks.

    Hi FabrícioPJ,
    The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of a provider have the same ID. Therefore, the SSIS runtime will select the appropriate version of the provider to use. 32-bit SSIS Designer always requires and uses the 32-bit version of a provider at design time. However
    when running the package in 64-bit mode that the Run64BitRuntime project property is True, it automatically switches to the 64-bit version of the provider. When it couldn’t find 64-bit version of the provider, the package would be failed. For more details,
    please see:
    http://dougbert.com/blog/post/64-bit-considerations-for-sql-server-integration-services-final.aspx
    So in your scenario, it seems that there is not a 64 bit provider for Oracle in your environment, so the issue occurs. Please make sure you have installed the correct 64-bit version of the Oracle provider.
    To download Microsoft Connectors v2.0 for Oracle in SSIS 2012, Please refer to the link below:

  • LR4 invokes both 32- and 64-bit Photoshop diff times. Want 64.

    Searched various ways -- no threads found.
    When I go out of LR4.1 to edit in Photoshop I see both 32- and 64-bit versions of PS v5.5 start -- judging from version string in the splash graphic, which includes the "x32" or "x64". Yesterday, every time I side-tripped it called v12.something.x32. This morning it was the 64-bit. I usually click the image in LR4.1 and type <CTRL-E> but yesterday I sometimes used the menu fly-out under "Photo --> Edit In", too.
    Looking into this, I read in threads yesterday that both versions are on any machine so went looking for two different ".exe" files but found only one.
    My OS is Win7 Pro, 64-bit.
    Any suggestions of ways to guarantee that the 64-bit version opens every time?
    TIA,
    jonathan7007

    Victoria,
    Thank you for answering, and I looked at the Reg change discussed. The Adobe documentation doesn't tie this change to the issue I am having. I "start" PS in two different ways. But if I go to the "photoshop.exe" file as shown in Windows Explorer, I sure want PS 64-bit to start. That file is the one to which LR points as set up by LR's Preferences or whatever dialog box appeared. PS is named as the External Editor in the Prefs tab., "External Editing". PS is named as the first entry on the flyout menu, and I often invoke it with <CTRL-E>.
    I was hoping for more users to look at their splash screens at PS start and share what version starts on their 64-bit systems. Perhaps there is a pattern that explains why one version or another starts.
    Questions for other LR/PS users:
    What version starts when you side-trip to PS?
    Whare are the two versions differentiated as "start" resources? (not deep in the Registry, I mean.)
    Do I care which starts?

  • Problem with installing both 32 and 64bit Java7u45

    Hi all.
    For some reson we need to install Java7u45 because of an inhouse made application only runs on java7u45 32bit,
    Now to my issue, we hava about 200 windows7 x64 machines who need both 32 and 64 bit java7u45.
    If i install the 32bit the inhouse appliction works, but then other third party application will not run (SoapUI, Eclipse).
    If i install both 64 and 32 bit the inhouse application will not run, i get this error message "NativeSwing[1]: Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM"
    In the Java Control Panel only the 64bit java shows up, and if i try to add javaw.exe from C:\program files (x86)\java\bin it will add the correct line, and i looks ok until i close the java control panel and open it, it will still only show the 64bit java.
    So is there anyway to change the default 64bit java to 32bit and make it stick?
    Thank you.

  • How to load both 32 bit and 64 bit version of addon on same machine

    Hi,
    When deploying an addon using SAP Business One Extension Manager, how can we install both 32 bit and 64 bit version of the addon for same machine?
    If the OS is 64 bit, SAP allows to install and use both 32 bit SBO client and 64 bit SBO client. I want that when the 32 bit SBO client is used, my 32 bit addon should get loaded, and when 64 bit client is used, my 64 bit addon should get loaded.
    But the SBO Extension Manager loads the addon for a given company; there seems to be no option to specify different addon files for 32 bit and 64 bit.
    Is there a way?
    Thanks.

    Hi Rajesh,
    There might be the problem while creating the add-on.
    It is the system behavior that once you login to 32 bit SAP Client, you can use only 32 bit Add-on. Means 32 bit add-on will be loaded automatically.
    Same is in the case of 64 Bit.
    What you have to do is:
    If OS is 64 Bit and you have installed both 32 and 64 Bit SAP Client then once open 32 bit client and install only 32 bit add-on
    Then open 64 Bit SAP Client and  install only 64 bit add-on.
    By doing this you will be able to use 32 bit add-on on 32 bit SAP Client and vice versa.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks & Regards
