Install your software
1. Before you install, close all applications currently running on your system—including
other Adobe applications, Microsoft Office applications, and browser windows. It is also
recommended to temporarily turn off virus protection during the installation process.
2. You must have administrative privileges or be able to validate as an administrator.
3. Do one of the following:

o
Insert the DVD in your drive, and follow the on-screen instructions. If the installer
does not launch automatically, navigate to the Adobe CS4 folder found at the
root level on your disk and double-click Setup.exe to start the installation
process.
o
If you downloaded the software from the web, open the folder, navigate to the
Adobe CS4 folder, double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the on-screen
instructions.
Mac
:
o
Insert the DVD in your drive, and follow the on-screen instructions. If the installer
does not launch automatically, navigate to the application folder found at the root

4. If you are installing as an upgrade, the installer will check your system to find the valid
upgrade product. If it cannot find it, it will ask you to input the serial number of the
product being upgraded. You can also install the software in trial, then input your new
and previous serial numbers in the serialization screen shown during launch.

Known issues
•
On Mac after installation, your system performance may seem slower. Rebooting
your system after installation will resolve this. (#BG063142)

When installing on Vista64, an incorrect default installation location appears. The
application will be installed in the correct location: c:\program files(x86). (#BG064131)
•
The “Total Size” displayed in the installer Options screen includes space required for
components required for the installation but not shown in the component list, so the
number may not equal the listed components size. (#BG059229)

The installation may take 20 minutes to over 1 hour depending on the product and
the number of components chosen to be installed. (#BG050030)
