I'm trying to install Adobe Extension Manager CS4 on my vista PC. It starts initializing and says "checking system profile". Then when it gets to 90% it freezes and launches another setup.exe for a completely different unrelated program (Sothink SWF Decompiler). I was thinking there was a mix up with the file names so I changed them and deleted the other program's setup file. I tried again and the same thing happened.

SO I went into task manager and located the unwanted setup > went to the process > located the .exe (was in a temp FOLDER) > tried to delete it > needed "permission" > closed the setup and it disappeared.

So I thought I'd deleted it and FIXED the problem. But it happened again the next time. Located the file, and now it's a completely different file. Basically did this over a few times and discovered that the Adobe setup is CREATING the second setup for a completely unrelated program and running it. Progress on the program I WANT to install never goes past 90%. I NEED this installed tonight! It's 2:26am. Please help!You need to let it complete. This may take a long time to do.

The extension manager reads across many formats including the SWF decompiler. Its adding it and then looking over your system to find the programs and files you have. This is why it sits at 90% for a long time.

Wait and let it finish then if you get an error post it here.

It's okay. Never mind. I ended up INSTALLING Adobe Extension Manager CS5 instead (which didn't stall at 90%). Then to be compatible with that I needed to upgrade Flash to CS5. But it worked anyway. Just took me a few hours.
