A Look at Adobe Photoshop, Premiere & After Effects CS4

Adobe recently released their 11th major version of Photoshop, along with the rest of the gang: Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, Acrobat, Premiere, After Effects and more. Here's a peek at CS4's video-related tools, which are closer to the technologies I use for my Creative Commons videography work.

Broken Installer

Adobe forgot to test the installer on 64bit systems (aka Vista).

The installer dies once it tries to install Photoshop (64bit). Keeps locking up, forcing a reboot. Adobe pulls the usual stunts (uhh, I dunno).

So ... this product CS4, is probably good on 32bit system, but right now, 64bit systems are out in the cold.

I installed the DVDs on a Vista 64bit system, so I have first hand experience. It worked just fine, out of the box. However, I did hear something about a broken installer, and there's a fix for it. I suggest you look for it.

Its weird that my adobe support rep doesnt know anything about the installer problem, and never heard of the patch.

The support forums and ticket histories doesnt mention a thing ..

Where did you find this fix?
