Adobe Photoshop CS 4

[Windows 7]

Hello SevenForums members! I recently just started using Windows 7 Beta 1 and I like the experience with it so far.

I really need Adobe Photoshop CS 4 but unfortunately an error comes up in the Setup file that I downloaded from Adobe's server. This is because it's not compatible with Windows 7.

Edit: Nevermind it's working now! I just had to choose Windows Vista in compatibility mode for the setup to continue.

CS4 Master Collection installed perfectly fine for me in Windows7 without using compatibility mode.

Photoshop extended cs4 (downloaded from adobe) works flawless in windows 7 for me, too.

if you're having issues, try running it in a compatiblity mode for XP or Vista. (right click > properties > compatibility)

I can second that CS4 works great for me on Win7. I have Adobe Photoshop Version: 11.0 running. BTW do you have OpenGL installed? CS4 uses some neweffects that require it.

I have Windows 7 build 7000 and Adobe Product all WORK FINE. I have installed CS4 with 6-7 additional filters and ALL WORKS FINE.

Works fine for me as well maybe you have a bad download?

I'm running x64 Windows 7.

I'm having problems installing too.

I had it installed once, but while cleaning some bloat unattentively, I accidentally uninstalled it. I know, I'm an idiot...

Now, everytime I try installing, I get this error message "Suite Shared Configuration CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1310.Error writing to file: C:\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700.manifest. Verify that you have access to that directory."

I've tried going into the directory and looking for said file, and it's not even there.

I tried running as an admin, I've tried compatability mode, and neither worked.

I'm starting to wonder if when I uninstalled, it possibly took said .manifest with it...

Does anyone know what to do? Could someone possibly check if they have said .manifest, and if so, copy it and upload it to someplace like mediafire.com? Would that work? I'm a noob to this... Sorry for stupid questions...


I'm sorry, I'm kinda desperate to get this thing reinstalled. ^-^;;;

I've got mine installed fine, but almost every app seems to crash after using it for about 10 or 15 minutes. It's not memory related, I checked that first, it barely uses half of my available RAM. Any thoughts? It will always crash, I've never once been able to keep them open more than 15 minutes.

trouble starts if u (have to) install the application twice. this maifestfiles are system owned an as i see it u have to reconfigure them one by one. runing the installer in admin mode doesnt solve the problem.

 

[GaChanner]

So, how do I recreate said manifest file? DX

TYVM

start regedit
navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions
rename MachineThrottling to _MachineThrottling

Solved the issue for me.

 

[kranika]

i tried to install ps cs4but got this error:

any suggestions guys?

 

[GaChanner]

Not to necro, but I still can't reinstall it... Has anybody found a solution?

 

[schale01]

No Go for me. I had Adobe Premiere Pro installed and then uninstalled it. When I try to install it now I get this nasty error:

Suite Shared Configuration CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1310.Error writing to file: C:\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700.manifest. Verify that you have access to that directory.

I tried the suggested and navigated to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions

There was no MachineThrottling to rename to _MachineThrottling

So I treid deleting the key as suggested in post
http://www.sevenforums.com/general-...cant-install-any-msi-package-4.html#post23050

Still nothing. Any other ideas?

 

[edwardtilbury]

No go for me either, I tried all of the above as well, I'm in the same boat!

Just tried cc cleaner on my registry, it found and "fixed" 164 errors, but still doesn't install...

I just downloaded and installed the 32 bit version. It was a recent download, so maybe they changed the installer to account for folks using W7.

The installer hesitated with a message about needing WinXP or later, but gave me an option to continue anyway. It then installed without problems.

The install started from a desktop folder (Adobe CS4) which is installed by the downloaded .exe file. Message says use the Setup.exe in the folder to install, which I ran as administrator.

One note, the next day when I booted up, I got a boot error message which I had not seen up until this time. Whether it was related to CS4 or not, I don't know.

I would assume everyone into CS4 knows they are running a beta for it to fix some issues and are asking for volunteers.

Fixed the winsxs Manifest Error

Hi guys,

I errored out while installing CS4, and in attempts to uninstall it and reinstall it I ran into the error you guys have posted:

Error 1603. Error 1310.Error writing to file: C:\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700.manifest. Verify that you have access to that directory."

To resolve the problem I downloaded the manifest files and folders (now attached to this post) and put them into the C:\Windows\winsxs\ directory. You need to take ownership of the directory and give the Administrator full access. You do that by viewing the properties of winsxs, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced.

Hope this helps, sheesh that was annoying.
