Question

I can't install CS4 after deinstall - Windows 7

When I try to install CS4, I immediately get a screen with the error message "Cannot Install Please check the Quit button".

The problem came after I tried to install some plugins from Nik Software, and something went wrong. Then I tried to deinstall the CS4. It was impossible to install CS4 again.

I have tried allmost everyting I could read on the net including start the install program as administrator, manually delete CS4 files and folders and running the Adobe Suite Cleaner. Some details: Windws 7, 64 bit, CS4 11.0.2.

What can the problem be?

    Hi soren,

    CS4 software has not been tested and is incompatible with Windows 7.

    If it was working fine for you before, you can uninstall the software completely by using the Cleaner tool ( http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html )

    And then download and install the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html

    Note : Make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

    Since the problem started after installing the Nik software plugin. Have you tried uninstalling it.

    Further you can try disabling start up items ( Ref.  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html  )

    Also try enabling the hidden admin account on Windows 7 ( http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/ ) and try installing on this account and check
