Photoshop cs4 not supported on architecture

[elelelelelelele]

Hello.

I bought Photoshop cs4 extended student version and installed it on my mac (Imac os X 10.5.8) but when I wanna open it, it says " cannot open Photoshop because it's not supported on this architecture. I tried to reinstall it a few times but still doesn't work. I don't know what it means "not supported on this architecture" ??

can someone help?

please

you have not by any chance moved the folder around in the actual applications folder have you, also to uninstall properly you need to go into adobe's utility folder and run the uninstaller if you haven't done that

Usually that only comes up if you try and install intel software on powerpc, i can't remember if cs4 is universal or intel only.

i'm pretty sure cs4 is intel only. you don't try by any chance to install it on a g4 or g5 imac?

thanks for your replies. I finally got it to work. feels stupid now, but I just didn't uninstall it properly. didn't know that I have to go through adobe's utilities to uninstall photoshop.

THANK YOU for your help

yeah its one of them, its all natural just to send the app to trash from the applications folder, but some progs needs its own uninstaller, i think Microsoft office is the same
