Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 cannot be re-installed

[AlexPremiere]

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 cannot be reinstalled after failing for unknown reasons (no program crash but after a normal start-up after working flawlessly for years). I get the message: "Adobe Premiere Pro Startup Error: Adobe Premiere Pro was unable to communicate with the process "Importer Process Server". Reastarting your computer may fix this problem". Several trials showed that this is not true. -- I uninstalled the program using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and reinstalled it with the original, registered DVDs. Several trials failed (the antivirus program and the firewall were inactivated). I continue to get the same message. - The Adobe Encore CS4 included in Premiere, however, seems to work normally. But the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 does not function as well. The following message is shown (miraculously in German and translated by me): The product starting point

??0NewHandlerinitializer@ErrorManager@config@dvacore@@QAE@XZ was not found. - I suspect that a faulty Premiere file remains in spite of the cleaning action by the Adobe Cleaner Tool. The black screen of the Cleaner Tool does no longer list any sign of Premiere. The Windows Registry and the C:/ disk were cleaned as well (CCleaner).

Thank you for your help!

The Permiere installation went very smoothly after inactivating the

anti-virus (Kaspersky) program and the firewall (Windows 7, Kaspersky). I

had done a first trial and forgot to do this inactivation. Premiere did not

install correctly and I received a corresponding message suggesting a

repeat installation. I used the Cleaner Tool again and removed the

leftovers of this aborted installation again.

Thanks for your efforts to help me.

Nothing to do with Premiere. Some security tool has messed with Windows' services and port handling or some program installed a wrong version of a DLL. Uninstall the security tools completely. If that doesn't resolve the situation, a clean Windows install is most likely your only option...
