Windows 7 home premium issue?

[rawfa]

Hi, does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue with Premiere CS4 and Windows 7 home premium? I keep getting "Error 1603. Fatal error" during installation.

You should of stuck with Vista. Is this a fresh install of Premiere?

I used Windows 7 and CS4 without an issue.

A quick search gave me the Adobe support page for this error at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408716.html .

Vista sucks.
This is a fresh install of premiere. I've also tried installing CS3 and it would not let me install it.

I've tried all these solutions and none of them works.

In my experience Vista generally more unstable than Windows 7. I love Windows 7.
Anyway, I'm running Premiere CS4 fine on Windows 7 home premium, but I'm using 64bit. Although that shouldn't make a difference considering Premiere is a 32bit program.
All I can think of is to try reformatting and starting over with Windows 7. Sometimes there are just "bad installs"... and a reformat might fix that.

I'm running 32bit and its fine

Running CS4 Suite on W 7 Premiere x64 w/o any issues.

Maybe it's because I have the home edition. Should it have anything to do with it? Should I upgrade to windows 7 professional?

It shouldn't effect it.

Error 1603 is highly generic so try the fixes on this web page . http://consumerdocs.installshield.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q111019&sliceId=1
