Whenever I insert my CD, the installer does not pop up, so I open up the Adobe CS4 folder at the root level of my disk and I double-click the Setup. However, the Setup does not start. Instead a window pops up saying: "Adobe Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Can anyone help me with this?

Have you tried the trick of copying the directories, files, etc from the DVD to your hard drive and running SETUP from there?

Yes. I copied everything on the CD onto my desktop and tried to run it from there, but the same error message pops up.

disconnect from the internet, restart in safe mode, make sure antivirus is disabled, try running again.

I just had to uninstall/reinstall Dreamweaver, the installer hung out for about five minutes before anything happened, although the light on the DVD drive was blinking the whole time.

Dave: DW is far from a toy, I’ve been using it since V1 and it has always been the best software for doing web work that I’ve come across.

And with the two way view you can see WYSIWYG or Code or both.

If you do all your pages by hand coding I suppose anything would be a toy. While I’ve learned enough about HTML and CSS that I can track down and fix a problem, hand coding is simply not something I want to even think about.

Dreamweaver is my tool of choice pretty much because it’s the only web authoring program I’ve used, but it does everything I need it to do.
