10.4.7 breaks CS2 Install

I just recently had to format my computer and start with a fresh install. I updated to 10.4.7 and now when I try to install Adobe CS2 the install just closes. It loads the necessary files, asks for my admin password to start the install, and then just closes after I type it in...just like a program does that won't run on Rosetta. Any ideas that don't involve rolling back to 10.4.6, installing CS2 and then updating again?

After calling Apple about it they told me they couldn't think of anything and to call Adboe. The person I got at Adobe had me activate the root account and then boot into safe mode and login as root. After doing that I am installing in safe mode. The install now works and hopefully the program will also after I restart. Hopefully this will help anyone that has the same problem in the future.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

    I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time.  However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop.  I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd.  Please advise.

    Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall.  I found a work around.
    For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
    When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
    Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
    After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
    Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

  • Photoshop/Indesign cs2 install issues

    Ok I just got my first Mac. The PC is six years old and slowly falling apart so I said why not spice it up a bit and get a Mac. Anyways...
    I downloaded the trials of photoshop and indesign cs2 from Adobe. The installer starts and then starts to install, but it just quits after about ten seconds and says "please try installing again" both the photoshop and indesign (and i assume every other adobe install application) do this.
    I read about the Version Cue issues, but that is not installed and that isn't an option in a custom install anyway.
    This is kind of the reason I got the thing. Is a universal version coming out anytime soon?
    Macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    A new UB version of Photoshop is expected @ spring 2007, since Photoshop is part of the Creative Suite, as is InDesign, I'd imagine Adobe will launch a UB Creative Suite around the same time, but when exactly in 2007, only Adobe can say.
    Photoshop CS & CS2 installed without issue on my MBP, have to admit, I bought them on disc and didn't try the trial version - Problem could be the Adobe installer won't work properly under Rosetta on an IntelMac

  • No apps launch on new CS2 install

    Hi all,
    Hopefully I'll provide enough information. I recently installed CS2 to a new MacBook Pro 15". The MBPro was running CS without a problem and I was asked to upgrade to CS2 by a client.
    On running the install for CS2 the installer fails the installation of SVG viewer 3.0 but otherwise runs without error. Once the installer is finished I attempted to run Photoshop CS2 and got the following error:
    =======================================================
    The Application Adobe Photoshop CS2 quit unexpectedly.
    ((current date and time))
    EXC_CRASH (SIGTRAP)
    Thread 0 Crashed:
    0 0 + 2149176322

    4 spin_lock_wrapper + 1981
    Ingnore Report... Relaunch
    =======================================================
    All CS2 applications give the same error on launch.
    I have manually deleted all applications including my previous CS installation and all files listed in the Knowledge base article on troubleshooting installation problems and tried the install again. I have also attempted to download SVG viewer 3.0 from the adobe site and received an unknown installation error.
    I ran disk permissions repair and disk repair with no change in status, the same error happens every time any CS2 app is launched including "Adobe Help Center"
    My computer is a MacBookPro 15" OS X 10.5.6 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM.

    All this advice is very strange because while I appreciate that technology moves on, unfortunately at the current time I can not upgrade to CS4 or CS3. Also regardless of what you are saying my copy of CS (mostly Photoshop CS) worked flawlessly for the past six months until I tried to install CS2 yesterday.
    Why CS2 would not be supported while CS works flawlessly I have no idea, and I also have no idea why now, after a restoration to my files and operating system from a time machine backup from before the CS2 install I can no longer launch my Photoshop CS and am getting an error of "Could not complete your request because certain required files were not found in the Adobe Photoshop CS Required folder."
    Adobe's lack of support on this matter is both frustrating and infuriating as it means a $1000 plus purchase is not supported little more than two years after the purchase unless I want to spend another $800.
    Their advice that I come get answers from the user community has resulted in this thread which so far has only told me that what I was doing was impossible and that what I want to do is not possible and I should spend more money.

  • CS2 Install with Windows 7

    I'm trying to install CS2 on a new laptop running Windows 7.  The "Installation Location" window tells me it is installing into C:\Program Files (X86)\Adobe but it says that the space available is 0 MB.  I lowered the UAC slider to the bottom of the scale and restarted the computer but this made no difference.  I also disabled the virus protection but again it made no difference.  Does anyone have any solution so that I can install CS2 on the laptop?
    Charlie

    It works fine.
    Right click on the "setup.exe" file on the CS2 install disc and then click on "properties", then click on the "compatibility" tab.
    Click on the box for "Run this in compability mode" and in the pull down select "XP sp2".
    Click "apply" and then "ok".
    Now go back to "setup.exe" and click on "Run as administrator" and CS2 should load fine.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Installing Error

    When I tried to Install for tryout version, it sometimes has an error. It says me to put the serial number in. Though it succeed it, it says like this : "Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Photoshop_CS2_tryout\Photoshop CS2\Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) CS2\Data1.cab. Verify that the file exits and that you can access it.".
    I verified that the file exits, and I could acces it. What is happening?!

    Hi ,
    We really apologize for all the inconvenience which has caused you.
    Simply put it in another folder. The path is too long and unnecessarily convoluted - folders inside folders inside folders....
    In the meanwhile if these steps doesnt resolve your issues you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

  • CS2-installing error "data1.cab" file corrupt

    I have recently reformatted my C drive and reinstalling programs.
    I tried to reinstall my CS2 Photoshop, but received error message that the "data1.cab" file was corrupt or missing. Could not install program.
    I don't know how to fix. Could someone please help?
    Thanks,

    from a disc? try to copy the photoshop folder from the disc to the desktop, then run setup from there. however, you might have a bad drive or a bad disc. if the setup from the desktop fails, try installing on another machine. if it still fails, the disc probably has a problem. if that works, maybe your drive needs replacing.

  • Adobe CS2 Install problem

  • I need to break the install process

    Hi,
    I recently tried to run an archive and install on my G5 Mac - Dual 2ghz - 1 gb ram OSX Version 10.4.11.
    Unfortunately, I am missing the "correct" version of disk 2. As a result, I cannot continue with the install. Nor can I do anything with this drive, since it goes straight into the installer and asks for disk 2.
    I can put the drive in another identical Mac G5 and see all of the data on the drive including the "Previous Versions" folder, and the "new" system folder.
    If I delete the "new" system folder and put it back into Mac-A I get a Kernal panic - missing drivers screen.
    So, either
    A: How do I break the boot process to start over with a different set on the original machine; or
    B: what file do I need to delete from the hard drive (using the second machine) to allow me to restart the process (using a different OS ver.?
    Thanks!

    You really can't break the installation process midstream. You can attempt to fix a mistaken install using an Archive and Install, and combo update back to the version you were at last, but that's dependent on their being enough space on your system*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
    After an archive and install, you can migrate data back to your new system that is usable. Frequently added drivers and plugins are not usable, but applications may be usable from a previous system.
    This is why it is so important you backup your data before installing anything*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    If you haven't you can backup even a shoddy system and restore elements such as documents, but don't expect anything else to be usable.

  • I can't get the installer to show from my CS2 install Disk-is it because I updated to OS10.4.1?

    My hard drive crashed on my power pc mac mini. I replace it with a used (recycled) drive and the Apple Store installed Tiger 10.4. I tried to re-install Adobe Creative suite 2 but the install icon is not showing up when I try to install from CD's. Is it because 10.4 no longer allows CS2?

    I guess it might be so...
    System Requirements...
    Macintosh:
    PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    Mac OS X v.10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.6, or 10.2.7

  • Photoshop CS2 install issues

    I recently got a new laptop and am not able to install my CS2 software. I originally had it on two computers but tried to remove and deactivate it off my older laptop. The program was succesfully uninstalled but the deactivation was not. I was also getting an error message informing me that the software could not be installed because the activation server was not functioning. So I downloaded the "fix" from adobe.com and now it says my serial number is invalid. I am extremely frustrated becasue after talking to customer support I was told that Adobe no longer supports CS2. I am unable to purchase any newer versions and I really need to get this software installed. Is there anywhere I can get support for this????

    towards the bottom of http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l it says:
    Sign in using your Adobe ID and download your application. Note the serial number (it is on the same page). Successful installation requires this serial number.

  • Photoshop CS2 Install

    I recently moved from a Gateway laptop w/ Windows XP to one of the new iMacs, and working on moving files, applications, and the like.
    I have Photoshop CS2 with .exe files for setup, which I know doesn't work on my new system. I've researched some online and it seems like I have 2 choices: 1) install Windows XP and run Photoshop on a separate partition, or 2) use an emulator. I'd rather not install Windows XP, as that was part of the reason I switched to a Mac. I have been unable to find much information on emulators online as to if it would actually install Photoshop and run it. I thought I'd ask before spending too much time tinkering. I'd appreciate any insight or advice.
    Thanks in advance--
    EDIT: I also tried putting the files through Stuffit Expander with no success

    As far as I know there aren't any Windows emulators for the Intel Macs. You might want to give Parallels Desktop a try. Using it, you can run Windows as an application directly in OS X. There is a slight performance hit of course (you're running two operating systems at once), but from what I hear its performance is very impressive.

  • Error 1310.Error writing to file for CS2 install on Win7 for Adobe 7 Pro

    I have Adobe 7 Pro that needs to be installed on a Win7 machine that is not supported by Adobe.  They provide a CS2 version with a new serial number for replacement of my product since my product cannot be activated anymore.
    When I try to install it, I get the following error after the install process has started.
    Error 1310.Error writing to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Active X\AcroPDF.DEU.  Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I am the admin for my machine and I also tried installing their version as the admin as well.
    Any help on getting thru this?

    Hi shooter-1971,
    Acrobat 7 is not supported on windows 7.
    But you might want to refer to the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the KB Doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-1310-error-writing-file.html
    Error 1310 is usually related to insufficient permissions on the folder. Please try enabling the hidden Admin account on Windows 7 and try installing the software and check.
    To enable hidden admin account you can refer : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3040.enable-disable-the-local-h idden-built-in-administrator-account-in-windows-7.aspx

  • Does CS2 install on windows 7 or windows 8?

    is there a problem if CS2 is installed in a computer with windows 7 or 8? will the programs work on the newer operating systems? If so are there any operation errors in adobe?

    None of the CS2 products were ever designed for or tested with Windows 7 or Windows 8 and will likely have problems during installation or if installation actually works, execution. As software that is a full seven versions older than the current Adobe software, it is not supported at all by Adobe.
