Photoshop CS2 Failed Download

I had purchased Adobe Photoshop CS2, came to realize that Adobe no longer supported activation (online or by phone).  I uninstalled and downloaded again from the Adobe site:  https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
The Photoshop download is inoperable. My computer cannot see the program files (nor can Revo Uninstaller), but I tried to download a second time and Adobe says it is in place.  I also tried to repair the initial download to no avail.  Program will not launch or run.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice.

  • Photoshop CS2 Fails to open

    Photoshop CS2 fails to open on two of our Macs. One is a G5 with Tiger, the other is a G4. I deleted the .psp file on the G5, tried to reopen, but it failed. Here is the error message.
    EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xad7c6007
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    It is usually enough to check it on the enclosing folder. Depending on which version of the OS you have, it should also by itself include enclosed content. In Tiger there is a choice (as far as I remember - I no logner have any machine with Tiger) to include the enclosed folders when you set permissions.

  • Re-installing Photoshop CS2 fails

    Because of some quirky behavior when launching Photoshop CS2, I decided<br />to re-install the application from the installation CD. I tried several times. Each time, when the installation is almost complete, a pop-up window informs me that: "Install Failed. The following install step failed: run postflight script for Adobe Photoshop SC2. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."<br /><br />I wrote to Adobe Customer Service. Their response was:<br />"Please note, Creative suite 2 have been discontinued after the release<br />of Creative Suite 3. Therefore, you will not receive any technical<br />support via phone for this product. You can, however, post questions and comments regarding tryout software on the User-to-User Forums on the Adobe Web site."<br /><br />I would appreciate any insight as to why I cannot re-install CS2. My system details: Aluminum & Glass iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, MacOSX 10.5.8, 320GB Maxtor HD, 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, read/write CD & DVD, FireWire 400 & 800. Available HD space: about 190GB.<br /><br />Thanks -- Larry <[email protected]>

    ...is still a dream in Apple's eyes. See: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate.html
    But, as has been said, per Adobe, Mac OS X v10.5.x and CS2 have compatibility problems that will not be resolved by any further updates. Your best bet is upgrading to CS4 while there is still a price advantage in place.

  • Error message for Adobe Photoshop CS2

    I keep getting an error message when I try to install Adobe Photoshop CS2 (free download from the website with the key). I have a MAC.

    CS2 is not compatible with current versions of OSX or contemporary Macs. Just get over it.

  • I tried to download Photoshop CS2 but it said the installation failed... What do I do?

    I downloaded a Photoshop CS2, I have a new computer, so I requested a new download. Adobe gave me a new download, but in the process, it said that the installation failed, and that I needed to contact the software  manufacture for assistance. The guy in the chat told me that I needed to come to the forums and get help here. So here I am... Anybody knows what should I do? Thank you for any feedback!

    UPDATE from another thread:
    Re: My installation fails mid way on CS2 photoshop on mac.

  • After downloading & installing application of adobe creative suite cs2 version 6,  screen of adobe photoshop cs2 is not opened by clicking icon . message is giving " ausba4.dll " was not present. Please guide me.?

    I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.

    I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
    You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
    Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
    I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll

  • Photoshop cs2 download

    I tried downloading photoshop cs2 from adobe but it won't install. It keeps saying "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacture for assistant."
    This is a free download that was provided by adobe on accident (supposedly). It works on my windows laptop so I assume it has something to do with apple? How can I get it to work?

    .exe files require Windows to be installed on your Mac:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
    CS2 I also believe may be too old to run on your Mac.  See this page to find out what operating systems it works with:
    http://www.roaringapps.com/
    If it says it is not compatible with 10.7 or later, you can also install 10.6 Server on your Mac following these directions to use CS2 for the Mac:
    Rosetta/PowerPC Applications and Lion and above
    But it has to be for the Mac to run on your computer without using Windows.

  • Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work-  the serial number does not work?

    photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

    Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
    If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    That S/N does work.  I double checked.

  • Can I download Adobe Photoshop CS2 legally from Adobe's link?

    Dear Adobe Community,
    The following link shows how to get Adobe Photoshop CS2 "legally" http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-get-photoshop-for-free/
    The conditions from Adobe are that you must have either purchased the license perviously or have bought Reader 7 beforehand. I know certainly that I have not bought Photoshop CS2 before, so I don't know if I can still purchase it.
    Ethically, it feels wrong to get the download however practically I need it for school and I don't have a lot of money. I'm trying to do the right thing here, can anybody suggest what to do?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, that's what I am worried about. I guess I will just pass. As for the prices, they are still too high. I just needed the software for school projects and charity work - yet price is still a roadblock.
    I think they should legalize it for nonlicensed members. I could certainly benefit from this and thereby indirectly benefit others.

  • Downloading adobe photoshop cs2 for free

    I am living in USA. Can I download and install free adobe photoshop cs2??? because its old version. and I have found through google to download for free.

    The free download for CS2 products is for licensed users to replace their previous versions that required activation and can no longer be installed becasue the activation servers are shut down. Anyone else who uses the installers is commiting a crime.

  • I have Photoshop CS2 but I had to get my computer fixed which means I lost it..when I try to download it from the website it stops at 173of340...I have my original cd is there anyway I can use it and put in a different serial number

    I have Photoshop CS2 but my computer crashed on me which means I lost it..when I try to download it from adobe web site it stops at 173/340...is there anyway I can use my original CD and then  use a different serial number

    No, you have the web site version because this applies:
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    The rest we cannot know. You have not provided any system information or details like what browser you use, so nobody can help you with your technical issues.

  • I can't download Photoshop CS2 on MacBook Air running Mac OS X

    So yeah, i've got troubles downloading Photoshop CS2. It's free, i belive. I have MacBook Air, and it just dont work. Idk what to do.

    Aside from the legal issue pointed out by Mr. Murphy, CS2 is simply not compatible with contemporary Macs and versions of OSX and that is that. you are wasting your time chasing a free lunch that you can't eat.

  • I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version
