By this time, with this much input I would have expected Adobe to resolve this issue once and for all. I am very glad that it worked for you and very surprised that this problem still continues.

I had a friend who had bought CS4 and ran into these very problems. I tried a few other things (installing in safe mode and from the Administrator login, namely) before using your solution. I could not get the Adobe cleaning script to run, but I did uninstall everything Adobe before I ran the CS4 install successfully. I did suspect that the subject's dvd-rom drive was on the fritz, as I couldn't get the dvd's to copy to the drive at first. That DID work in safe mode. Anyway, thanks to your clear instructions I got it running. Best of luck, Chris Just wanted to express my gratitude. I had a friend who had bought CS4 and ran into these very problems.

That's something I removed along with the MS SQL server. You may consider deselecting in the installation set Flash and Adobe Media Player. I wonder if the installation may go through if it does not have to install the plugins for the browsers. Another idea may be to turn off most of the running services on your computer, except FlexNet of course. If you do not feel comfortable playing with the services, you may seek help from a friend who knows how to handle them. I hesitate to give steps to do this, I fear I may leave a critical step and cause you grief. Adobe, when will you fix these problems?

The error message, just after the system check is saying that I need to close Internet Explorer in the order to get the installation done. Funny thing is, I don't even have IE opened, matter affect I am using FF3 and IE7 is there just because my wife is using it. None of the programs, nor opened windows are active during the installation. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Emil Hi Cemal,
