    Problems Installing Adobe CS4

    When I try to install the Adobe CS4 Trial it give me the error that my OS isn't compatible. IT must be XP SP3 or Vista SP1. So I've run Windows Updated multiple times and I have no updates I can install.



    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

    Try going to the MS site and see if they find problems. Report back either way.

    Hello graynightblue,
    This could be caused by the Windows Installer, follow these instructions by The CAT.

    1. Go to a Windows Vista (Any Version) computer that has the Windows
    Installer service running correctly and run regedit(Start-Run-Regedit)
    2. Go to the location
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msiserver
    3. Right click on this key and select "Export" and save the key to a Flash
    Drive or other.
    4. Run sfc /scannow on the damaged Vista computer - you won't need the
    install disk as it goes to backup files on your HD. Do not reboot when
    complete
    5. Double click saved .reg file from working machine and import registry
    settings into damaged Vista computer.
    6. Now reboot and try to install/uninstall

    Also, please make sure that there are no remnants of a previous install/un-install, i would run a search for any Adobe software and check it.

    Just as a precaution, i would run this system file check.

    System Files - SFC Command

    Hope some of this helps, good luck and post your results.
