''Error 1603. A fatal error occurred...

Ive been trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 trial for the past 3 days.

The only reason I want to try it is because of its ability to create textures directly on models.

But whenever I try to install, I get this error

''Adobe Drive CS4

Error:

Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.''

Dispite it not saying that Adobe Photoshop CS4 having an error, I still get this screen:

Disable any anti virus running on Windows 7. Disable windows defender.

Go into start and type in services, click on services, and look for Windows Installer. Turn it from Manual to Auto and hit apply, then start the service and hit ok. close services.

Make sure you run the PS CS4 installer as Admin!!

No need to turn off UAC or the firewall.

Before you run CS4 right click and select properties and run it as Admin.

When you are ready to run CS4 for the first time make sure your connect to the internet. Also update CS4 to 11.0.1 update. Also ensure your video card drivers are up to date
