Uninstall CS4 after installed CC?

Hello

I have CS4 Design Premium installed on my Windows7 PC.

Since then, I have subscribed to the creative cloud and downloaded some apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, DW).

I'm likely to have problems if I let the older CS4 applications on my PC, or should I uninstall them, and if so what is the best way to go about this?

Thanks for your help - Duncan

Hi DMuri,

You can safely uninstall CS4 products for this, you can use Add and remove program on your windows entries to remove these products.

Thank you

  • Should I remove CS4 after installing CS6?

    I upgraded to CS6, yet my CS4 programs are still on my computer. Should I delete them manually? And if so, all my files created with CS4 will remain functional on my computer with the CS6 update?

    When you upgrade you assign all previous installations... updates install / run independtly of applications that they are upgrading.   It is not necessary to remove the old version when you upgrade to the new versions, but it is best to uninstall them before installing the new version, if you want to uninstall.

    As much as CS4 versions files versus the software improved, Yes, the old files should be able to be opened and edited by the CS6 version, although you will not be able to save the files as CS4 versions if there are changes that you want to keep.

  • Not possible to deactivate CS4 - after installing CS5.5

    Hello

    Today I installed my new CS5.5 update on my Mac and now I wanted to disable and uninstall my old Suite CS4 - but it won't work.

    And Yes, I've already checked my firewall - off - but no luck.

    I tried to disable it in Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash - same problem.

    Can I now uninstall CS4 from my Mac without disabling?

    Any idea what the problem might be?

    Thank you for any suspicion

    If you follow the instructions to disable the software but is not working for some reason, then you should just contact support Adobe - they really are the only ones who can help and can manually disable the database on their end.

  • Remove the CS4 after installing CS5 - cloudy

    Hi, I removed CS4 after working with CS5 for awhile. Now, all the .jpg, .cr2 etc are more related to the PS in Windows Explorer. I tried to add a link to them, but Photoshop is not in the list of possible programs and manually choosing PS by navigating to the folder of programs is not be accepted. Even in the bridge, doubleclicking a jpg now opens Powerpoint, something I really don't need :-)

    Any ideas? I ran the installer from the CD again, but nothing helped.

    Christoph

    Looks like that in the recesses Sun from my memory, others with similar problems should change something in the registry.  But only a search to find this thread.

    You have tinkered with file associations?  In bridge, go to edit/preferences/file Healt.  Set the default CS5 for file types.

    OS, go into Control Panel, default programs, associate files.

    I hope this helps.

  • Can I reinstall cs4 after installing cs6

    I installed my new copy of the CS6 on my new iMac. Later, I realized that I need my original CS4 to run simultaneously on the same mac. When I try to install the original CS4 it rejects two serial numbers - the original CS4 series and the new CS6 serial number. Is it possible to do or should I uninstall CS6 and start over?

    Uninstall CS6, run the Creative Suite cleanup tool, and then reinstall it in good condition - CS4 first, followed the CS6.

  • How can I install Acrobat CS4 after installing creative cloud subscription?

    I am owner of Creative Suite 4 and Acrobat need from this 5 CD set. I was not able to install Acrobat just because I have a subscription to creative cloud that does not include an Acrobat. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Loydc1941,

    Your subscription to creative cloud is independent of CS4 and should not interfere with the installation of the Acrobat 9 that came with you more. Run the Creative Suite Installer and installing it will give you a screen where you can choose which application you want to install.

    If you have tried and it doesn't work, we will be able to best solve your problem if you can provide more details as suggested by Mylenium. What is your OS and what exactly happens when you try to install Acrobat CS4 discs? You receive an error message? Thanks for posting a screenshot if possible: the specified element could not be found...

    Best,

  • Uninstall fails after installing the Hyper-V role

    I installed VMWare Workstation 7.1.3 on my Windows Server 2008 R2 server to temporarily host some virtual machines. Since then, I installed the Hyper-V role on this server and migrated the Hyper-v hosts. Now I want to uninstall VMWare Workstation, but when I try to do it via the Control Panel programs and features, I receive the inherited error message: "[uninstall] error: this product cannot be installed on Windows XP or later." Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000 are not supported. [OK] "obviously, this message is in error, but in doing some research, I have determined that this error means that the installer refuses to start on systems that have Hyper-V installed.

    Is there a version of the installer that allows you to uninstall VMWare Workstation correctly? If not, are there plans to fix this hole? I have to any other option that follow described here manual uninstall procedure? I don't trust the manual uninstall procedure because they understand too gourmet suggestions such as 'Remove your appdata directory' (see uninstallation manual step 5B). Uninstall Hyper-V at this point is not a viable option.

    It should be relatively simple to add an option to the installer to bypass verification of Hyper-V (and then use the uninstall option command in the seat).

    only chance: Add a bootoption on the server so that it can start with disabled HyperV

    1. At the command prompt, type the following:
      bcdedit /copy {default} /d "No hypervisor".
    2. The above command should say: the entry has been copied successfully to {guid}. Copy the guid to the Clipboard, including the braces.
    3. Now, type the following command:
      bcdedit/set {guid_hvoff} off hypervisorlaunchtype
      In the above command, replace {guid_hvoff} with what you copied in step 2. The command above simply sets a property in the boot entry that will not load the hypervisor at startup.

    then restart option not HyperV and uninstall

  • Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5.5?

    I have already installed CS5.5 standard on my laptop and kept CS3 until I was competent.  What is the best procedure now Uninstall CS3 and free up HARD drive space?  Win7 64 bit OS.  Do I need to deactivate CS3 or this will stop the newest software to run?

    Different versions operate independently, so deactivate CS3 has no effect on the CS5.5. However, the uninstall don't - it lmess wil to associations of files and the shared components. So the only way to do is to uninstall everything, then only reinstall CS5.5.

  • Should I uninstall CS4 master collection before installing the master collection CS6?

    I bought CS6 Master Collection (DVD) and I wonder if I need to uninstall CS4 before installing the new version?

    Depends on what plug-ins and tools you use, and whether or not they are compatible with the CS6. If this isn't a problem, and you are reasonably sure you don't need a fallback option, to uninstall CS4 before installing the CS6 is indeed the way to do it. It is completely optional.

  • After Effects CS4 is no longer loading after installing Office 08

    During the Christmas break, I installed Office 08 and her sewing to have mucked something upward in CS4, After effects because it won't load, the program starts to load libraries and all that stuff of the splash screen and crashes when loading the user interface

    After effects brought long before I installed office 08. Anyone know what's happened and how to fix it? The strange thing is, it works on a couple of Mac, but the majority of the lab is having this problem.

    I tried a lot of things:

    -Completely uninstalled office 08 and preferences
    -CS4 to uninstall and manually delete all the files preference
    -Locate the font files and compare fonts with that of a working mac
    -Create a new login
    -Update for After effects 9.0.2

    After spending hours and hours and hours, in doing so, I had no chance to resolve the issue. Help will be greatly appreciated... I backup all the data and re - install Leopard next week if nobody knows how to solve this problem.

    The failure appears to be in the FLV QuickTime component, which is a FLV to QuickTime as Adobe Flash exporter (or older versions of Macromedia) installs in your [home folder] / Library/QuickTime.  After Effects loads such matter which component that QuickTime is available (they appear in the file > export menu).

    First of all, try to remove the com.macromedia.FLVExporter in your folder [user name] / Library/Preferences, if it is present.  Otherwise, remove the FLV QuickTime component, I described above.

    It is also theoretically possible that the failure is to the next component in the folder of QuickTime, not the FLV component components.  You might could just remove all of the contents of this file and see what happens.

    Hi, Shada, this can happen if you include additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you do this the installation program must include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder he updated MAX, so when your Installer try to understand MAX, his request the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.

    Here you can cache information so it is not asked once again, or you can download a version more recent fo DAQmx, then it will update MAX and change the dependecy.
