Error 147:20 installing Photoshop and Indesign cs4

[Dame An]

I formatted my computer on which I had Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign cs3. I wanted to install these programs again and thought: why not a newer version? So I downloaded Photoshop and Indesign cs 4. Maybe not very logical to download cs 4 when there are newer versions, but I have Windows 7 Pro 32 bits and I was afraid that cs 5 or 6 wouldn't work on 32 bits. I'm sorry, I don't know if this is a stupid thought. Downloading and installing went very well. I followed the instructions about the 'host' thing. But when I started the program there came a message about 'error 147:20'. Both programs gave this error. I uninstalled and installed again, but this message keeps popping up when starting a program. Quite a long story. But here is my question: is this a wellknown problem with cs 4? Is installing cs5 or 6 easier and do these programs work on a 32 bits machine?

Thanks a lot if you can give me an adequate answer.

If you have any trouble going through that thread, let us know

Also, I'm not sure if that will actually solve your problem, but try it and see how it goes.

CS5 or 5.1 should be ok on a x86(x32bit) architecture. Use Adobe Tool to both patch your hosts file and generate your serials.

Also, make sure your Network Adapters are disabled for the duration of the install.

Going to Adobe asking questions r.e. generated errors which may indicate installing pirated software won't win you any fans

Thanks a lot! Looks like a good solution.
Until now it didn't work (can't past into the windows prefetch map)
