Question: I can't click the "Continue" button because the contents of the window don't fit in the window itself and the button is out of sight. What should I do?
Answer: This happens occasionally on poorly configured OS. There is a TAB key on the keyboard. Click it until you reach the desired menu item.
Question: The installation was not completed due to an unknown error. What should I do?
Answer: Read the error code decoding . Also, I recommend studying the installation log. It is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Install.log. Perhaps here you will get more detailed information about the problem and how to fix it.
Question: What about medications for this version of the program?
Answer: Several files were patched using the uncia & CGP Co method, which I then integrated into the installer. You don't need to do anything to cure them! Just in case, the original files are saved with the *.bak extension. To restore them, remove the .bak extension from these files and replace the existing patched files with them.
Question: What about disabling spy modules?
Answer: The spyware modules CRLog Transport Application (CRLogTransport.exe) and Adobe Crash Reporter Service (AdobeCrashReport.exe) have been disabled. The files that initialize them have been renamed to CRLogTransport.exe.bak and AdobeCrashReport.exe.bak, respectively. If you suddenly want to restore their functionality, simply remove the .bak extension. Also, the crack included in the build removes Adobe Genuine Service if this module was previously installed with other Adobe programs (this module is not installed with this build).
Question: When I launch the program, the start window (initial screen) does not fully render. What should I do?
Answer: Yes, there is such a problem. It occurs if the program is not authorized. If you want to see the home screen when starting, you need to connect to the Adobe server with your ID by selecting "Help->Sign In" in the program menu and authorizing. If you do not want to authorize and you just want to remove the non-working start window, then in the program menu select "Edit->Preferences->Startup And Repair..." and uncheck "Enable Home Screen".
Question: My antivirus found a trojan in this release. How so?
Answer: Some antiviruses may mistakenly claim that the release contains viruses. They usually point to three files: Set-up.exe, Start.exe or AdobeUnlicensedPopupBlocker.zip. Well, I can assure you that these are all false positives! Just disable your antivirus during installation. I will tell you how to do this using the Windows security mechanism as an example. First, I advise you to disable SmartScreen. And not just during installation, but FOREVER! To do this, launch the Windows Security application and select App & browser control -> Reputation-based protection settings -> Check apps and files -> Disable. *In Windows 10, there is one less intermediate step. Next, disable the main antivirus block. But this is temporary. In the Windows Security application, select Virus & threat protection -> Manage settings and set all switches to Off. After installation is complete, you can return the switches to their original state. If the antivirus still complains about Start.exe, then simply add it to the antivirus exceptions. To do this, in the same window where the switches were, in the Exclusions subsection, click Add and remove exclutions. You'll figure it out later. File path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Unlicensed Pop-up Blocker\Start.exe
Question: Some time after launching the program, a pop-up notification began to appear about the imminent end of the trial period and the need to purchase the program. What should I do?
Answer: The medicine has a built-in mechanism to solve this problem, blocking access to a number of IP addresses and a number of hosts. Windows Firewall (Defender) and the hosts file are used for these purposes. Unfortunately, the list of blocked items changes periodically. But the crack also dynamically corrects it! For this purpose, the "Adobe Pop-up Blocker" task was created in the "Task Scheduler" that launches an update of this list every time you log in to the OS. If for some reason the program still starts reminding you about the need to buy, then run this task manually with the Internet turned on. After a few seconds, the list of blocked items will be updated, and the pop-up notification should stop bothering you. If this does not happen, then I recommend creating a rule in the firewall to block outgoing connections to the main executable file AfterFX.exe, the launch of which initiates the appearance of the ill-fated notification.
Question: After installing the program, I lost access to some sites. Is there a connection?
Answer: Yes, in principle it is possible. The problem may be in restricting access to a number of IP addresses to block the pop-up notification about the end of the trial period. Try disabling the outgoing rule "Adobe Unlicensed Pop-up Blocker" in Windows Firewall (Defender) and see if the problem disappears. If the problem disappears, then leave the rule disabled. If after some time the problem reoccurs, then delete the ill-fated rule and block access to the network for the AfterFX.exe file there, and disable the "Adobe Pop-up Blocker" task in the "Task Scheduler". At the moment I do not know of any other solution other than providing access to the sites you need and getting rid of the notification about the end of the trial period.
Question: When I run the program, it closes with error 0xc0000142! What's wrong?
Answer: Starting with version 24.1, this program requires mandatory support of Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2) instructions by your processor. If the processor does not support this technology, the program will not start, giving the same error. I recommend "rolling back" to a version of the program earlier than 24.1.
Question: When opening the program, the error "Adobe Creative Cloud, needed to resolve the problem, is missing or damaged..." appears. What should I do?
Answer: You have some "tails" from previous installations of Adobe Creative Cloud components left in your system. They need to be removed. To do this, use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool utility . As a component to be removed, first select All, and then Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop. After that, reinstall the failed program. Such cleaning with reinstallation will not damage previously installed programs.
Question: I can't log in to the program. The authorization window behaves incorrectly. What should I do?
Answer: Try closing the program and temporarily moving the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\NGL somewhere. Then launch the program again and try to log in. Deleting this folder should initiate an alternative authorization option - using a browser.
Question: Can you tell me more about the possibility of using Maxon Cinema 4D as a standalone application?
Answer: Maxon Cinema 4D is forcibly installed as part of the Adobe After Effects 2025 package. By default, a trial version is installed. But I have cured it for you. When you first launch the program, you will see the License Manager window with an error message. Just close it. The program will automatically start again. But already completely cured of greed! Let me clarify right away that this is a version without RedShift. Also, you should know that the developers have removed the Russian interface from Maxon Cinema 4D starting with the 2024 version of the line. So don't ask me for the absence of all this.
