Cannot install Macromedia MX 2004 [MX is DEAD]

The software may be 20 years old but it works just fine.

"Works fine" might have been true in the 1990's but not in 2022 & beyond...  The web has changed too much.  Legacy web authoring apps can't cope with responsive web design or modern HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript code.   You absolutely need modern tools to create websites today.  If not Dreamweaver CC, then something else.

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, there is no legal way to install any version of Dreamweaver from CS4 and back. All activation servers for those products have been decomissioned.

MX2004 had a special version available, for a number of years after the program was EOL, that allowed for offline activation to unlock it, however Adobe also dicontinued that a number of years ago.

MX2004 is dead. The only versions you can install are going to be cracked/hacked and likely full of malware.
