how to install adobe photoshop cs4 on windows 8

So if you need a prior release, what do you do? The challenge is, once a new release comes out, Adobe no longer officially sells the older version ( with one exception). And occasionally some folks say they prefer the earlier, simpler versions over newer ones with more features. Two common reasons are the higher system requirements – 64-bit for some components of CS5 like After Effects & Premiere Pro, as well as cases where the rest of a customer’s site is still running an older version and would like to add a new setup with the same compatibility. Luc PS - Other than that, Windows 7 RC is working great! I even installed it on a netbook which has been running without a glitch so far and doesn't seem to be any slower than XP the netbook came with originally (although I must add that the number of applications that I have on the netbook is far more limited than on my desktop).Adobe’s Creative Suite 5.5 has been out since May, and has generally been well-reviewed and even lauded as a must-have release… Nevertheless, some folks are still looking for or require older versions of the software, like CS5.0 or CS4. Any guidance as to what other steps I could/should take would be greatly appreciated.

The whole installation procedure just doesn't seem to carry on. Unlike some other users on this forum, I did not get any error messages. Invariably, the installation procedure first shows 'Checking System Profile,' and after clicking the install button, 'Preparing to install,' but after that nothing happens (I waited for up 30 minutes).

One forum user here suggested running it from a DVD, but this doesn't resolve the issue either. Adobe Lightroom installed without any problem, but the Photoshop CS4 installation seems to stall at the same step each and every time (see further below).īesides running the regular Setup.exe (as Administrator), I have tried running it in compatibility mode for Vista SP1 and even XP, to no effect however. After several tries, I still cannot install Photoshop CS4 on my Windows 7 RC partition (64-bit).
