Photoshop 7.0 installer problems

I am trying to install my Photoshop 7.0 that I just purchased. When I click the Photoshop 7.0 icon, a window pops up titled "Adobe Photoshop" and reads "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop under OS X, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer under OS X and re-install Photoshop or custom install the "Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X Tune-up"."
I can't find where to download installer? Any info would help. thanks

Hi
This error message refers to the Color Profile support files that Photoshop 7 uses. You normally get this error message if the version of Photoshop 7 you have installed is a drag copy and not installed from the original installer disk. If you do have the installer disk the tune-up section is accessed by simply selecting custom install and cherry picking what you want from there. Unless you are really precise about the quality of color you wish the monitor to display as well as what is output it is safe to ignore the message. Photoshop defaults itself to the Adobe sRGB color space anyway which gives fairly good color reproduction across a wide spectrum of subjects.
I could go into the finer points of color and how it is reproduced but I think it goes beyond what the OP originally intended.
I can understand what the other posts are saying but my experience has been that Photoshop 7 works fine with all versions of the OS from 10.1.2 through to 10.5.1 (as well as OS 9.2.1/2) regardless of what hardware is being used. However I would stick with at least CS2 if the hardware is an Intel based Mac, preferably CS3 as CS3 was designed to run on Intel Macs. Ironically installing and running CS3 on a non-Intel Mac gives performance problems. Perversely installing and running CS2 on an Intel Mac shows performance problems as well - it runs slower. The same is true for versions of Quark. Namely Quark 7 runs fine on Intel Macs but slow on PPC Macs and Quark 6/6.1/6.5 runs fine on PPC Macs and slow on Intel ones.
This is by no means definitive and is meant as a guide only. I have personally seen these symptoms on a wide range of units ranging from Graphite and Quicksilver G4s as well MDD G4s, iBook G3s and G4s, PowerBook G4s and pretty much all of the Intel range.
Hope this helps, Tony

  • Photoshop CS2 Upgrade Installation Problems w/ Vista Problems

    I recently purchased a new laptop w/ Windows Vista which I'm trying to install my copy of Photoshop CS2 onto. My Photoshop license is an upgrade license ... originally upgraded from Photoshop v4.0.
    When installing an upgrade copy of PS CS2, it requires proof of your previous version in order to verify you're a legitimate upgrader. This works fine if you're upgrading from a version of Photoshop after 5.x ...you simply insert your CD and the installation continues. The installation process is less straight-forward for users like myself ... installing from an upgraded version prior to 5. I'm required to call Adobe ... and conduct a phone verification procedure where I give them a code displayed on the screen during installation and they give me a response code to type into the installation form.
    I deauthorized my old laptop ... start the installation routine on my new laptop ... call Adobe w/ my verification code ... enter the response code (which is accepted) and complete the installation without any problems. My problem occurs when I go to run the software. The startup screen indicates that the software is still in "Tryout Mode", and the first window I'm presented with is the "Adobe Activation" window requesting my serial number. If I try to enter my CS2 serial number it is rejected with the message:
    "You must enter a valid serial number before activating online or viewing activation options. Please check your serial number and re-enter it, or click the Purchase button to buy a copy of this product"
    The thing is ... this IS a valid serial number. I've confirmed this with Adobe. (It's probably an upgrade serial number, which is why the software is rejecting it). I called Adobe and they're now telling me that I must enter a paid-support agreement in order to receive help installing my software. They claim their software is working correctly, and it must be a problem with my computer.
    Has anybody experienced a problem like this? I refuse to pay more for something that worked fine on XP just to use it on Vista due to bugs in their installation and activation routine.

    Have the bugs of using with Vista been fixed, or still not working? thanks,
    I know this is an old problem, but surely there is an answer to fix the problem by now...
    What problems?  I used Photoshop CS2 with Vista with no problems (I still have it installed on a Vista system if you'd like me to check anything in particular).  CS3 and CS4 worked well as well.  Haven't tried CS5 on Vista as I have moved up to Windows 7, but I suspect it works just fine.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 installation problems

    Downloaded the bundle and extracted the files to my desktop, however when the installation wizards starts up (setup.exe) it wants to remove the files rather than allow me to go through the installation process (entering serial number, etc.).
    I've tried to remove the files and download the program various times but keep getting this same problem.

    It sounds like Photoshop Elements may already be installed.  Have you tried opening the software from the Start Menu or Screen?  Which version of Windows are you using?

  • Adobe Photoshop 12 Mac, Installation problem

    Hi there ! I have a Adobe Photoshop Elements bought a few days ago 12 full version in retail and this is now trying to install on my Imac. Now I am annoyed about the following problem.

Did anyone ever here have to do with this problemß

    There is a German version because I'm from Germany. Excuse the typos. Here the screenshot of the error message. Could it be that the software does not communicate with Adobe , so the fault is by the Mac system? Please, i need help.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 installation problem

    HELP!!  What do I do now?  I just installed the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my Mac.  After opening the program, a message appeared that said "A required application library failed to load and product cannot continue.  Please reinstall".    I have already reinstalled this twice and it keeps happening.
    Any suggestions?

    DonJuanRil the next step then will be to look at your installation logs.  The Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ can be utilized to automatically review your install logs and attempt to locate a solution.
    Alternately you can manually review the installation logs by utilizing the directions offered in Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • Photoshop Elements 2 installation problem

    I want to install Photoshop Elements 2 on my new computer which has Windows 8.1.   I have previously used it successfully on Windows XP and Windows 7 Professional.   I have used the CD to install it but when I try to open the program I get this error message:
    'Could not start Adobe Photoshop because the volume Windows is using for Virtual Memory does not have enough free space, which could lead to stability problems'.
    I have PE6 but have not installed that because I prefer PE2.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi 99jon
    Thanks for your suggestion.   I am sure that you are right about when PSE2 was released it was designed to work on disks no bigger than 1TB and that is the cause of the problem.  I went to the link you suggested and saw the suggestions there.  However, the IT expert, who has been installing Windows 8.1. on my new computer, is against partitioning for this purpose as he says Windows 8.1. is easily ‘upset’ particularly on a Dell computer and says he won’t do it.   Although I’ve had a computer since 2000 I am no expert so I have to reply on his advice although I can see the problem could probably be resolved.   Fortunately I managed myself some time ago  to install PSE2 on my laptop with Windows 7 Professional and if I need to use the program I can use that although the screen is small.  Otherwise I shall rely on Gimp which seems a possible substitute, though I mourn the loss of PSE2.
    I suspect I should have answered this in the forum but I couldn’t see how to do it.  I am grateful for your help

  • Photoshop Elements 9 Installation Problems

    I was working wtih PSE9 tonight and for some reason, my pc just up and died.  When i rebooted and tried to get in to PSE9, it kept on shutting down  as soon as I would get into the organizer.  I tried to reinstall the application over the top of the current load, but it kept wanting to uninstall the current version that was on the PC.  I decided to go ahead and uninstall and then reinstall, but the uninstall gets an error 1316.  I have followed instructions from the web to manually install this application; however when I try to run the install disk, it continues to want to uninstall rather than reinstall and it fails giving me an error 1316 again.  Error 1316 states that "a network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:\windows\installer\adobephotoshopelements9.msi"
    I have downloaded iobit uninstaller and I have removed every file that it could find, but with no luck.  the install disk continues to want to uninstall it and gives me an error and then closes. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop CS 2 installation problem

    CS2 kept freezing on my new Mac Pro system so I deleted the program and the adobe directories from my library and am now trying to reinstall CS2. Everything goes fine until it starts installing and then I just get the message, "There were errors installing the software. Please try again."
    Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do? I tried running disk utility, rebooting.
    thanks

    Hi Mitch,
    I remember the issue, I ran into it as well.
    While the patch from ExtremeZ-IP did temporarily fix my issues, the issue returned. I used the correct PhotoShop plugin and still the problem persisted.
    Low and behold, the issue was when using the command-S save feature. When the files your working on have already been saved with the older AFP spec and you try to save them with the newer AFP spec, they'll error out in OSX 10.4.6. This was related to PhotoShop CS2 files.
    The solution is to either save the files to your desktop or change the name of the file. Once this was done the problem doesn't return on the file, even if you do a command-S.
    I believe it's the process of cleaning up the commenting changes for the AFP spec on 10.4.6.
    You will want to check your destination drive if you are getting a specific "Write Denied" error and see if some restrictive permission hasn't propegated it's self where it shouldn't have.

  • Photoshop cs5 upgrade installation problem

    I just purchased a Photoshop cs5 upgrade (upgrading from cs2).  There were no instructions with the disk. I put the disk in my pc's DVD-ROM drive, and the computer started reading it, but nothing appeared on my monitor. The computer stopped reading the disk after a short time period. There was never any indication, on the monitor screen, that anything was installing, or had installed. My pc's os is Windows XP professional, and it appears to satisfy system requirements. I have eset smart security 5 installed on this pc. How can I get this upgrade to install?

    If the Autorun option is disabled (and it frequently is because of security concerns) the setup program will not launch automatically on inserting the disk.
    Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of the disk. Double-click on the .exe file to launch the setup wizard. Follow the onscreen instructions there on.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 installation problem

    Because the PS6 installation on my windows 7 PC had become unresponsive, I uninstalled it.  When I tried to reinstall it using the download button next to my order number on the Adobe website, I got the message: You have no downloads.  How can I get around this?

    Did you originally purchase PSE 6 as a download? If not, all the downloads in the world wouldn't help, because back then downloads and disc versions had mutually incompatible serial numbers. Even if you did, if you didn't save your original media I'm afraid you're out of luck. Adobe only makes downloads available in your account for three years, and while there are downloads available for versions 7 and up, there's no download for version 6. If you had discs, you need to start looking around for them.
