Adobe CS2 Installs with ARD?

We recently purchased a volume license for Adobe CS2. I have read the information on the Adobe website about configuring a silent install. All seems to be fine with putting the files together in a directory as they say but I am hitting a wall when it comes to running the sudo command using the "Send UNIX command" function. I can send the command but the results display shows me the input for password but I have no interaction with the shell.
I am attempting to run this as the Administrator account on the remote Mac. Should I enable the root user and log in under that account and attempt to re-run the script or is there a way to authenticate using ARD and this command? I have several Macs I need to run this install on.

I tried to reply to you last night, Bill, but the forums went down between when I hit Reply and when I hit Post Message.
As a matter of coincidence, I had just finished doing the exact thing you are attempting. I used the instructions found at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331297.html to the letter, copying my cs2install folder to the remote machine's top-level folder using ARD. Then I used "Send Unix Command" -- as root user and set to display all output -- to send the following command to the remote machine:
sudo /cs2install/Macsuite_silentinstall.sh /cs2install/ /cs2install/AdobeInstallerConfiguration.xml
I had a hard time determining when it was finished, though, because the output doesn't say, "Hey, I'm done!" when it's done, but ARD will return a successful message. All told, the actual silent installation on the remote machine, from the time I sent the Unix command, took six minutes.
Yup, six minutes.
The updates, however, took me an hour and a half!

Adobe CS2 Installation, activation and using

Adobe Sucks! Now that I have got that out of my system! Yes it is my Fault! Here is the problem.
Adobe makes great products that are over priced. (Creative Suites-$2500.00 Retail even upgrades)
CS2, Yes it is an older version. Still is a fine product. Original computer that had CS2 installed, finally bit the dust and went to Electronic waste recycle. New computer (Windows XP Sp3-Got Windows XP just to run Adobe CS2)
Installation of SW completed wiht no errors. Installation activation complete with no errors. Run In Design - "Personalize Your Software" window appears and asks for input of serial number. Input serial number (as on Box, CD, etc.) error message states "Serial number entered is not Valid. Please check and re-enter" It is correct and valid serial number. program closes. When runing Photoshop first screen appears with error box stating "Photo Shop can not find valid Serial Number" Same serial number entered during installation and activation of software package. Called Adobe on phone - on hold for 1.5 hours listening to elevator music. Contacted on line chat for help. They said that the problem could be resolved only on the phone. Called on phone again. This time was able to talk to Adobe Technical Rep. All I heard was "CS2 is to old and not supported by Adobe". Buy a new package ($2,500.00) again. No discount for upgrade. No on line Adobe support, No phone Adobe support, Sorry for the inconvience Adobe Support. Can anyone help make Adobe CS2 work? or Do I throw it away and write off Adobe as a Software company and find someone else?

Jungle Rot please see Error: "...user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photoshop (CS2 on Windows) - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-user-name-organization-or.html. There are several steps which should help you solve for this issue.

I cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X.

I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and every time I try to install Air Adobe 3 I get the message
"You cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X."
Could anyone help me?
Jai

Hi,
Adobe won't be developing for 10.5.8 new features (including new runtime) only security relates updates for existing runtimes (Flash 10.3.*/Air 2.7.*). Flash 11/Air 3.0 are only supported on 10.6.8.*/10.7.*, see:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/916/cpsid_91694.html#main_system_requirements
There is recent, lengthy thread on forums with Adobe's employees statements on that subject (support/development for 10.5.* and newer) but I cannot find it quickly as basically forum search is broken/hard to do,
regards,
Peter

Adobe CS2 compatibility with Leopard 10.5.1

I need to boot from the disks on an old iMac -- but I can't locate those disks. I do have an unused Leopard 10.5.1 that I could use -- but I need to make sure that Adobe CS2 will still work on that computer. Does anyone know if it will work?

Ha-ha.... I had an IT guy tell me it would overwrite the system but wouldn't mess with the data or the programs -- but he couldn't tell me if they were compatible... I guess this why I'm not computer guru!

Adobe CS2 compatibility with Loepard

Hi there,
I just received my new iMac and got everything setup only to hear that apparently Adobe is not supporting their CS2 software with Leopard. I have Adobe web bundle and mostly use Photoshop, Illustrator as well as Macromedia Studio8 Flash and Dreamweaver.
Has anyone had any problems running CS2 or Studio8 with Leopard? So far I haven't come across any bugs, but I also haven't really used the software much. I just checked to make sure I could install and open it.

No that's not the issue. CS2 was released in April of 2005 before the release of the Intel platform from Apple in 2006. The new code used to program applications to run natively on the Intel macs is called Universal Binary(UB) and the older code is called PowerPC(PPC). Since CS2 was released as PPC they decided not to recode the current version rather just code the new version UB from scratch. They also knew that Apple included built in emulation so that you could run PPC apps on the Intel Mac. At this point it has nothing to do with it being Tiger or Leopard and don't misunderstand Adobe does still fully support CS2. I am just letting you know it runs slower on the Intel Macs and the only real fix for that is to purchase the CS3 software.

Adobe CS2 installation failed on macbook air

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Macbook air, but when the installation goes the half way, system generates a message, "installation failed, please contact the manufacturer". Could you please help me to resolve the issue. thank you

Assuming it is not an OS compatibility issue (which it may well be), you would not be able to activate it anyway. The activation servers for CS2 and earlier are dead and gone.
See the page in the link below. Follow the directions carefully. And see if that works for you.

Can developers distribute the Adobe AIR installer with their desktop applications?

Yes. In addition to creating and distributing cross-platform Adobe AIR application installer files, it is possible for developers to write their own custom native installers that install Adobe AIR and the Adobe AIR application.
In order to do this, developers must first apply for and receive a free http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.

I'm going to forward this along to our android team for their review. In the meantime, could you open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can visit the bug and cast their votes.
Thanks,

Adobe CS2 Install... STRANGE

Ok,
FYI, I installed Leopard on a separate disk and went to install CS2 (we don't own CS3 yet and I enjoy living dangerously)
So.. I go to install and the Adobe CS2 installer says that the only thing it will install is: Version Cue, and tells me the other apps are installed. This isn't so...
So finally I get the great idea, to eject my internal 10.4 hard drive, and see if the software will install. It does,
So if you try to install CS2 on a system that has more than one hard drive, and one of the other hard drives has CS2 on it, the system will think the software is installed.

I didn't have any previous version installed, my macbook is brand new. My problem is perfectly explained here and I did what it says to solve it..but I just can't.
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/333517.html
I've created the "ScriptingAdditions" folder and nothing. I've found (on the web) the "Adobe Unit Types" file and copied it into that folder and nothing happend.
Do anyone knows what's going on?? Thanks

Adobe CS2 uninstall (as administrator, no antivirus) fails on Windows with "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information", "Missing resources library"

My previously fully functional Adobe CS2 install on Windows 7 x64 stopped working when the activation service for CS2 was shut down.
I tried to follow the re-installation instructions at the following web page which first require a complete uninstall of Adobe CS2:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
Running as a local administrator in elevated mode and without a running antivirus (in fact, with an uninstalled antivirus), I get the following error message and the uninstaller refuses to run:
The installer could not start because of the following reasons:
Missing or Invalid Personalization Information
Missing resources library
I searched the forums and found matching threads such as these:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1602420
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1547148
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/986439
but they seem to suggest insufficient privileges or an interfering antivirus.
I opened a chat support case (case number: 0214720731) responded to by @Arunkumar who sent me back to the forums. When I said similar queries had not been resolved for months, he promised to escalate to his "senior product expert" team to post a solution. I am posting this message in the hope they will respond with useful suggestions as I do not want to do a complete Windows re-install of an otherwise perfectly functional computer just because the Adobe uninstaller doesn't work.

You have insufficient privileges to access the registry or your virus scanner is blocking it. Nothing Adobe can fix for you, you need to find the culprit on your system and/ or fix the registry permissions as explained here:

Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
Thank you,
Eric

Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not

Issue with ARD 3.0 not pushing out Installs, Says its installing but not
Has anyone seen this. It seems to happen with ARD 3, have not seen this in ARD 2.
I go to the Install Packages on Target Computers, put in: 10.4.7 Combo (for the correct CPU, PPC or Intel), security updates, QT 7.1.2, etc.
Push it to Macs I can connect to, observe and control.
The progress bar copies the files (in some instances it does not) and then it just hangs there, bar does not move, Installs never finish, not good, very odd.

Is it the same clients that have the problem every time? Are those clients doing anything cpu intensive? Have you tried rebooting the affected clients?
Maybe try a smaller package on those clients.

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

Migration manager with Adobe CS2 and Microsoft Office 2004

I had already downloaded my academic copy of office 2008 as soon as I opened the computer. To my total aggravation, it too had the stupid ribbon format that office 2007 has on the pc version. Then to my total surprise when I used the migration manager, it moved all my old programs over from my macbook running 10.4.11. This included office 2004. It seems to operate just fine, but am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead. Also, when it moved my Adobe CS2 it said some type of error message about color matching. That seems to be the case in the color sliders at least, the colors don't look right, but the images seem fine when they open. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead.
Find a document you would normally open with Office 2004, and use the menu in the Finder to 'Get Info'.
In that window, you have an option to dictate which program to always open that file type with, and to apply that choice to all similar files.
Make the change and close that window.
