Adobe Premiere Professional CS4 Trial Install does not work.
Hi,
This is just a quick warning that the trial download of Premiere CS4 is buggy .. at best.
Install Process Craps Out
I tried to install it on my Mac several times and I kept getting an error message that did not help. In the end, after rebooting several times and following all trouble shooting instructions that Adobe provides .. it would not install.
… Talk about lousy software!
Seriously, when a company can’t even make their install process work … you have to wonder! I should also point out that (after some digging with Google) that I am not the only one who has had this problem. That said, the trial worked fine on Windows XP.
Premiere’s Trial Version is Crippled!
The not so nice thing (due to licensing issues,) is that the trial version cannot work with several common video file types like h.264! That meant that I could not test how well Premiere would handle editing the file types I deal with daily. Sucks.
Oh well, I guess I will have to take a look at Final Cut.

Tried installing it myself over the weekend with no joy.
Wanted to improve my web design skills, and as I use CS4 at work, I just couldn’t go back to CS2 so I began installing…a lengthy process in itself but once installed it just wouldn’t open any of the software, had all the files but no CS4….so I tried again…and again.
By the third time I’d had enough. Nothings for free in this world….back to CS2.
