CS4 Critical errors were found in setup (Win7 64)

Jul 10, 2012 1:37 PM

I have a brand new HP Z1 workstation (Win7 64b, 32GB).

 

I cannot install CS4. I get the common message  "Critical errors were found in setup. See setup log for details."

 

- I tried from my original DVD.

- I downloaded new install files from Adobe. Same problem.

- I tried the Adobe CS Cleaner Tool. No luck.

- I tried the Adobe Support Adviser log analyzer , which told me I had no issues.

 

 

Here are the ERROR and FATAL lines from the install setup log ("Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium 4.0 07-10-2012.log"):

 

(there are lots of other "errors"  too if they would be helpful)

 

ERROR

FATAL

Please see the Setup log file for details.

 

Please help, I am about to break something.

    Mattcall I would recommend reviewing Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5 -cs5.html as it provides some examples of what you are looking for within the log file.

     

    Alterantely if you can use the Adobe Support Advisor's package for support option and respond to this thread with your token number I can review the log in it's entirety.

    This thread is a great example of how far we have progressed in error reporting within the log files since the release of Creative Suite 5.  Mattcall I didn't find anything more specific in your install log than what you already discovered.

     

    Your next step will be to review the Event Viewer on your system to identify what maybe causing your difficulties.  Please follow the directions which are relevant for Windows Vista.  Windows 7 was not released when these directions and Creative Suite 4 was released.

     

    Windows Event Viewer

    Event Viewer is a Microsoft utility that collects data about errors that occur as you run Windows. The Adobe Creative Suite 3 or 4 installer uses a number of Windows installers during the installation of any products. Windows Event Viewer can be used to diagnose issues with the Windows installer.

     

     

    Launch the Event Viewer.

    1. On Windows XP
    2. Click Start > Run and type in Event Viewer
    3. Click OK.

    On Windows Vista

    1. Click Start.
    2. Type Event Viewer into the search window and press Enter.
    3. Select Application.
    4. Look for yellow warnings and red errors in the Type column that also contain MsiInstaller in the Source column.

     

     

    Note: This data might point you to an application or service that is conflicting with the installer and causing installer failure.

    Mattcall per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911682 you may want to try the following steps:

     

    Event ID 1015

     

     

    You receive Event ID 1015 only if you use a Terminal Server session to start the Office program. Therefore, you have to perform this procedure on the Terminal Server console.

    1. Start a Terminal Server client session, and then log on as a user.
    2. Click Start, click Run, type msiexec /unreg in the Open box, and then click OK.
    3. Click Start, click Run, type msiexec /regserver in the Open box, and then click OK.

     

    You can use the Command prompt to perform these commands.

     

     

    As for support we no longer provide one to one support for Creative Suite 4 products unless you are facing an issue with our activation technology.
