A) Yes, I have read through numerous posts and tried numerous solutions except the one that works.
1) Erased the registry keys for internet explorer blah blah blah
2) Closed all programs during installation including antivirus, disconnected from net.
3) Ran CS4 clean up AND windows install cleaner AND Revo Uninstaller
4) Rebooted several times/ ran the installer several times.

B) PC Specs: 2.0Ghz Duo Core Intel, 4 G Ram, Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, Avast Antivirus home addition, Dell m1530 XPS…

C) Installed Adobe Dreamworks CS4 trial without a hitch…

D) Tried to install Fireworks trial and got a ERROR 1603 message at about 95% of the install..Gave up on that one.

E) Trying to install the Adobe downloaded Photoshop CS4 Trial and also gives me a ERROR 1603 at about 95%… I would like to use this software but according to other postings…it doesnt matter if its the trial or paid for version..people are getting the ERROR 1603..

F) Its hard to believe that with all the people with the same issues, it has not been widely posted on how to troubleshoot this issue.

PLEASE HELP!!! i have tried everything that has been suggested on this forum and have no success..thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Also, the error message stats that the error 1603 occurred during the installation of photoshop cs4…not all the minor software during the first 95% of the install…

Fixed Issue!!!

If anyone is having this issue and has been on the edge of suicide…here’s the solution…

Not sure why but my windows installer service was not running…

Open task manager (cntl+alt+del+)
select "services" tab
hit the services button at the bottom of the page to open a new window scroll down to windows installer
then hit start on the top left of the page.

ReRun the installer and hopfully TADA!!

LOL now onto the next issue…

Finally after 5 solid days of troubleshooting with the installer and getting it installed, now Photoshop CS4 extended trial will not load past the software setup screen.

After it asks if i want to continue the trial or enter a serial number i click trial and next then NOTHING…screen disappears and thats it….

I downloaded the GPU registry edit fix and followed instructions with no success.

Please help so i can get past this issue and find another one to lose sleep over. Thanks in advance for any solutions.
