Install instructions for CS6 upgrade for WIndows missing - in what order should files be run?

After over 14 days of dealing with the idiots at Adobe Support, opening and closing of 2 cases multiple times, promised emails not being sent (and being blamed for having my email set up to filter out Adobe emails), attempts to charge me for the already approved "free" upgrade, and then having an order for a physical disk version of the CS6 upgrade cancelled by some bonehead, I finally was able to download the CS6 upgrade files.  Only to discover that there are no installation instructions for Windows if you did not use the Akamai download manager (which I did not).
There are a total of 6 files in the download directory, all downloaded from the CS6 upgrade download page. 
- In what order should the files be run?  Just run the .exe files, or do some files need to be extracted/unzipped first?
A second question: my CS5.5 version was never installed, and never registered. 
- Will the CS6 upgrade accept its serial number directly, or do I have to do something else through Adobe Support?

Which files: all of them on the CS6 Production Premium upgrade download page.
ProductionPremium_CS6_LS7.7z
ProductionPremium_CS6_LS7.exe
PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.7z
PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.exe
Illustrator_16_Content_LS16.exe
Download_and_Install_Instruction_all.pdf
The last one is useless.
The Speech Analyzer Models were downloaded separately, from another page.  I assume they should be installed after everything else is installed and working.

  • CS6 upgrade for Design Premium collection

    What with the release of the Photoshop CS6 Beta I was wondering when, and if, Adobe plans to release a CS6 upgrade for their Design Premium collection?
    I have been using CS5 since it came out.
    Thank you,
    Diane

    Thank you Bob for answering so quickly.  With that knowledge I can best outline my course of action for upgrades to my system in preparation for CS6.  Like upgrading to Lion.  I'm on a Mac Pro Quad Core screamer. 
    I am excited about the upgrades and look forward to more information on them.
    Having been in the graphic design and print production industry for 40 years (geeesh has it been 'that' long?) I am still totally amazed at the advances in the industry.  And still as excited about it as the first day I sat down to a keyboard punching TTST tape that was fed into a Photomix.
    Again, thank you.

    The icon for the dictionary-thesaurus has disappeared. What is that file called? I found it - Dashboard.

    Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1, they have indicated this will be happening soon.

  • For those upgraded to Windows 10 & VirtualBox is crashing (Some Tips)

    You may want to create this as a how-to.

    Hi, I just upgraded to Windows 10 and no surprise my Windows XP as a guests OS in VBox did not work and ended up with "Cannot load R0 module C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox/VBoxDD2R0.r0:" error. Long story short, whoever faces such issues should trying these steps :-1. Uninstall the old version if running 4.3.302. Install the latest version 5.0 from http://virtualbox.org3. In case if the guest OS profile is already loaded then its fine, otherwise load the guest OS once again.4. Before starting the guest OS, make sure you disable your third party antivirus and Windows Firewall to completely OFF 5. Voila, Vbox should work normally for your Guest OS and now you can resume the AV and Firewall. Also you can use VBox normally and does not need to keep disabling AV & Firewall all the time, it is just required for first time.

  • CS6 upgrade for photoshop CS5 gives errors

    I recently purchased your Photoshop CS6 upgrade.  I had been using Photoshop CS5 previously.  When I entered my serial number I got a message stating that no qualifying product can be found on my computer.  In the product drop down box I found and selected CS5 but when I enter the serial number of my CS5 Master Collection (which Photoshop was part of it) I get a error saying that serial number is not for a qualifying product.
    What should I do?

    You cannot upgrade a component of a Creative Suite to the next version - which is what it sounds like you're attempting.
    e.g. you cannot upgrade to Photoshop CS6 using the Photoshop CS5 from Master Collection CS5.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#upgrade-eligibility
    "Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component?
    No. Adobe does not offer upgrade pricing for customers wishing to move from a suite edition to an individual CS component. For complete upgrade information for the product you are interested in, consult the upgrade eligibility chart on that product's buying guide page."
    From Master Collection CS5, you can only upgrade to a CS6 Suite (does not have to be Master Collection CS6).
    If Photoshop CS6 is all you want then either purchase a full version of CS6 or consider joining the Cloud.

  • Adobe support saying my CS3 License is no longer valid for CS6 Upgrade

    Hi,
    I need some real, tangible help here.  I've been on the phone and chat with Adobe support, which has been terrible.  I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 Upgrade under the big promotion last year to upgrade from CS3.  I am a valid owner of the CS3 Master Collection and purchased the CS6 upgrade straight from the Adobe website.  I've been able to use the CS6 product fine until now.
    Now, the support reps are telling me that my CS3 is not a valid upgrade product!!!  Seriously???  Most of them are not even aware Adobe had the promotion.  I'm just trying to transfer the license to another account, and just want the job done.
    Help!!
    Thanks!
    David

    Hi David, you say you were able to upgrade from a suite to an individual product? 
    Not sure how, because Adobe says that's not possible to do – see:
    Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component?
    If so, then what they say may be true and that could affect your eligibility to transfer the product.
    As for solutions, it's no longer possible to upgrade from CS3 to CS6, but it is still possible to upgrade from CS3 to CC.

  • Free CS6 upgrade for student master collection at $599?

    Our school sells the Master Collection for $599 (currently CS5.5).  I would like to buy it and the school staff assures me that I'd get the free upgrade to CS6 if I bought it now.  However, that price (which they've had for awhile now, and is not listed as a special or sale price for them) seems to be less than the normal educational price for the Master Collection.  They say the price will go up when they have CS6 to sell.
    The adobe upgrade policy says that the following are invalid: "Receipts showing a product price that is discounted more than 25% off the Adobe retail or educational price (some product exceptions apply)"
    What is the regular educational price for the CS5.5 Master Collection and does a purchase now at my school qualify for the free upgrade to CS6 Master Collection when it is released?  The price listed on the adobe site for CS6 Master Collection is $799, which would make our school's price 25.03% off that.
    I want to buy now but want to be sure to qualify for the discount.
    2nd question: if this is eligible for the upgrade, can I buy the Mac version and then switch to the PC version later?  Our school is out of stock on the PC collection and won't get any in until May 4th.  (which is cutting it very close to cutoff date for eligibility on upgrades).

    I'm also in the same situation, kind of. I already got my cs5.5 master collection through my school on the 26th. But every other post I've read about the upgrade only says Creative Suite cs5.5 will get upgrade. So I'm trying to find out if people who got the master collection (which comes with the Creative Suites) are eligible for upgrades complimentary? Any help answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Academic Superstore CS5.5 download not eligible for CS6 upgrade?

    CS5 academic version was purchased directly from Adobe in 2010 and is registered in my Adobe account.
    A recent email from an academic reseller about buying CS5.5 before May 6 in order to receive a free upgrade grabbed my attention. It's really looking like a situation of buyer beware. I opted for a download version which came with an activation code for immediate gratification.  But no serial number or product code was included.
    I went through the steps to register with Adobe immediately after the installation on 4/30/12. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I checked my account at Adobe and did not see CS5.5 as being registered.  After much searching, it seems like the download version is not considered a valid purchase by Adobe.
    When the Academic Superstore was contacted, they immediately resent the email that contained the download link and activation code.  In a follow up message, they "stated" that the serial number was sent in the previous message, but also to check junk mail in case it got filtered. (It was not.)
    A screen grab from the Adobe Support portal with my name and address, with the request to enter the serial number was sent to the Academic Superstore. No response.
    I paid for and received a product.   However, I can't help but feel like I was scammed as the Superstore did not make a distinction between the boxed version or download version.
    I've already resigned my self... but do I have any options with Adobe or the Superstore?

    Hi Jeff,
    This is certainly useful information.
    However, I didn't realize that downloaded versions with an activation code purchased from a reseller are not considered valid.  Academic Superstore did not send me a a key ingredient, a serial number, and have stopped responding to my concerns about receiving one from them.
    I can't help but have the impression that this was an underhanded presentation of product on their part, e.g. there was no warning that the purchased download version would not be eligible for the CS6 upgrade.  Had I known, I would have purchased the boxed version.
    Best regards,
    WV

    Get in touch with support. Nobody here can sort out serial number issues. In the meantime, simply run the app as trial.

  • How to re-install PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS after upgrading to WINDOWS 8?

    Hi,
    I purchased a new HP ENVY 14-3011TU ULTRABOOK a couple of days ago. It came standard with WINDOWS 7, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS and BEATS AUDIO.
    I upgraded to WINDOWS 8, installed a few programs but decided to start over new. So, I re-installed WINDOWS 8 selecting the option that will delete all programs. Silly me didn't realise at the time that it would also delete the programs that came standard with my Ultrabook; ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS and BEATS AUDIO.
    I managed to get BEATS AUDIO back, but I'm still searching for a solution to get ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS BACK without paying any $$.
    PLEASE HELP!

    have you considered HP's tech support options?  They have a forum as well and sometimes they have software along with drivers that you can download for your computer model, depending on the model.

  • Installing hp updates after upgrading to windows 7

    I recently did a clean install (reformatted) of windows 7 on my touchsmart laptop, installed the updates off the windows 7 hp update page. However, the shortcut keys on the side of the touchscreen (the settings, mediasmart, screen rotate) no longer work. This may be due to me not installing the updates off the web page in the correct order?
    I just started at the top of this page and worked my way down anyone know if these updates (specifically the hp mediasmart updates) need to be installed in a specific order?
    or do I need to just open up specific programs and alter their startup settings? 

    ok I;ve given up for now heres a list of what tinkering Ive tried to no avail
    1) digitizer originally worked, showed up in device manager (n-trig digitizer, 2 digitizer hid compatible input, all 3 entries labelled under "digitizer") 
    2) installed 2.59 win7 64bit n-trig multi touch pack got fatal error please restart and try again
    3) digitizer  no longer works, "unknown device" shows up in usb controllers
    4) flashed memory (turn off computer, hold on button in on position till computer turns off)
    5) digitizer still not working but now shows up in device manager under digitizer 3 entires
    6) installed 2.184 rev A win 7 64bit n-trig driver got fatal error
    7) restarted, unknown device in usb controllers again
    8) flashed memory again BUT only 1 entry in device manager under digitizer (n-trig_DIGITIZER, found HID-compliant consumer control device and n-trig multitouch HID device under Human Interface Devices
    9) trying to install either update (separately ) still get fatal error
    10) flashing memory no longer returns laptop to 3 digitizer entries stays in 1 digitizer 2 hid entires no matter what i try 
    so to summarise neither the 2.59 update or the slightly newer 2.184 rev A i found on the hp ftp will give touchscreen function. 
    N-trig's new driver update for multitouch has caused me to LOSE ALL TOUCHSCREEN FUNCTION
