  • Same problem, Jason. Can't find a fix;/
  • just installed cs4 design premium on vista ultimate 64 bit system and getting the same thing - I will be calling into Adobe tomorrow to see what the problem is and let you know what I find out.
  • Great! Keep us posted!
  • Open your registry and find under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Adobe.Illustrator. If you get an error message when you select that key, right click and look at the permissions screen. For some unknown reason, my registry permissions were stuffed and I had to reset them all using the SubInAcl script someone on the Adobe forums pointed you to.

    Interestingly though, I received errors galore when I used my username in that script but no errors when I kept it as YOURUSERNAME.

    Hopefully this helps you out. It helped me get rid of that annoying error message.
  • Hey Jason, did u finally resolve the registry error prompt when launching Illustrator? Im having the same problem!
  • My permissions on HKCR ended up being the problem. Somehow, they had been changed. I found it out when another program was having a problem. I was having trouble reinstalling adobe air.

    You might try this suggestion: http://theosmblog.com/2008/12/05/how-to-fix-per... (tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/6v8lth ) and see if that does the trick. Once I tried it, it created a whole new group of problems, though. My registry was seriously borked. I ended up doing a fresh install of windows.
  • Same problem here on Vista Ultimate 64 bit system.
    Can't find any mention of it on Adobe forums.
