CS4 hosts file and amtlib.dll fixing programs Vista 64 compatabl

Fixed to work with Vista 64 and Windows 7. For those who do not know (don't want to know) or are lazy like me. *************************************************************** For Vista and Windows 7 you MUST be logged on as administrator. *************************************************************** You can run "MeFirst.exe" and "MeLast(32-64).exe" from any drive on your computer, CD, DVD, Hard drive, floppy, or memory stick. Run "MeFirst.exe" before installing any CS4 application. Install CS4 application(s). Run "MeLast(32-64).exe". MeFirst.exe adds the following to the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com 127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com MeLast(32-64).exe replaces "amtlib.dll" (the original "amtlib.dll" is renamed as "amtlib.dll.old"). "C:Program FilesAdobe" and "C:Program Files (x86)Adobe" and sub folders are searched for amtlib.dll and amtlib.dll is replaced. Please note that if there is an instance of "amtlib.dll.old" in the same folder as "amtlib.dll", no replacement will take place. Based on the file size of amtlib.dll, MeLast(32-64).exe decides whether to replace with "amtlib.dll" or "amtlib64.dll". If at a later date you add more CS4 programs just run MeLast(32-64).exe again. It is IMPORTANT that "amtlib.dll and "amtlib64.dll" are in the same folder as "MeLast(32-64).exe" or it will not work.

what are the amtlib.dll files supplied with the files?
are we supposed to copy those files ? ...I may sound stupid please help

mustafa-crap (2009-12-08)

Read the readme.txt file. Then just do what it says, that is why I put it there.
RTFM

sufyanbhai (2009-12-10)

I finally got it , initially i ran the programs(MeFirst and MeLast ) by double clicking them. But now i ran them as administrator . Thanks mustafa

Illustrator is alive!!! hehehehe (evil laugh) :)

tripplesix (2010-06-26)

Ok. This might be a dumb question, but: I have the CS4 programs already installed (months ago). Of course, the Illustrator CS4 now decides to say "License Expired."
Do I have to do any uninstalls first (since you say run MeFirst.exe before any installations)??????
OR
Do I just run MeFirst.exe and then immediately after that, run MeLast.exe???????????????
Please, let me know exactly what I would have to do in this particular situation so that I can get it right the first time. And yes, I have read the Read Me file. But that doesn't answer my question.

Uninstall and re install following the directions in the readme.

For those who have the problem with the license expired, try copying amtlib.dll into the following folder as well.nnC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator CS4\\Support Files\\Contents\\Windowsnnit worked for me.

Abouddi (2010-07-19)

Thanks sol_eternal, your suggestion worked. I think it may be because both files (the original and the cracked one) are the same size, the script doesn't copy the cracked one over.

mustafa-crap (2010-07-31)

Abouddi
Size has nothing to do with it, it is done by name. The directories are searched for amtlib.dll and when found it is renamed "amtlib.dll.old" and the cracked version is then copied. (if amtlib.dll.old is found in the same directory nothing is done)
It may be there are errors with the file system. Do a scandisk to correct any errors.

Thanks sol_eternal, that trick fixed the 'license expired' problem for me.
Weird though. I installed 'the thingys' (all praise to him) release of 'illustrator cs4', and following his instructions, I copyed his 'amtlib.dll' in the
--> C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator CS4\\Support Files\\Contents\\Windows
