Alright, so I recently got Photoshop CS4, for some odd reason when I had to do a system restore, it messed up. Not sure why, but I got the screen to accept or decline the user end license agreement, when I clicked to accept it, it just went away and nothing happened. So I uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it, now every time I try, it gets right to the end, where it's installing Adobe Bridge CS4 and it comes up with an error saying it had problems installing photoshop CS4 and then asks me if I want to continue with the installation, I click continue, and it finishes, but I get an error message at the end again. When I click more information I get this:

Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.

Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.

Adobe Bridge CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
ne
Adobe Device Central CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.

I'm not sure why I'm getting this error, please tell me someone knows what the hell is going on here? Lol. Because people are going to ask here are my specs:

Model: HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC
OS: Windows Vista
RAM: 2g
Free HD space: 170g
Complete HD space: 250g
Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
BIOS: PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.1 (you probably won't need this, lol)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M

All help is EXTREMELY appreciated. 😄 Thanks in advance.

I had the exact thing happen with Windows 7. I just uninstalled everything that said adobe...and still having same issue. I also checked program files (x86) did you find something magical? This is a new computer with tons of space, so I know it's not a space issue.

Thanks,

This Spanish-language, they have to translate

Well after trying to achieve 1000 times to fix the error 1603,

what to do:

1. download the windows installer (http://windows-installer-cleanup-utility.uptodown.com/)

2. install the same

3. Uninstall all Adobe programs. because the error is because there's Dispute with the components

5. WinCS3Clean download or WinCS4Cleanupscript.

4. CS3Clean run and follow the instructions or CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility

6. follow the instructions in this link (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401401.html)

Note: With the WinCS3Clean and WinCS4Cleanupscript remove all components of Adobe there is nothing left

and after that, restart the computer and issue resolved

I hope that you will find it useful, is the way to repair the error

Hi

I've had the same error.

1603 on same 3 apps

4 days of trying to install this junk, shame adobe!

Used their Technotes, reomoved .icc files, changed registry permissions etc etc, unistalled.

Still the same crap

Why would anyone even consider buying this if you can't even ge the trial to install?

Customer support were useless - Lady called MELODY

Tech support are even less interested

It was once a good company - now subbed out to 3rd world call centres.

Seriously if any one has a fix please could they let me know

First, you have to figure out what it is on your computer that is asking you for a profile (without telling you what kind of profile it is talking about).

This isn't happening to anyone else, so it's something peculiar about your system.
