Can't extract Photoshop CS5

I can't extract the Photoshop CS5. Everytime I try I get :"A problem occured while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder" .
I've spent long hours on the phone with multiple agents trying to resolve this issue. I have WinZIP, my computer is Windows 7 Pro, etc... Still cannot get the issue resolved. Can someone please help?
As well, while on the phone with one of the Adobe Agents, I was informed to type in: "cmd.exe" in the start menu, then once the window opened I was then informed to type: "net user administrator /active:yes". This created a whole new Administrator account for me, when I already had an Administrator account saved under my name. So now I'm stuck with two and I cannot get rid of the Administrator account that the Adobe Agent made me create. I've tried many things in reference from google. Such as: Right Clicking Computer on the start up menu then clicking manage Local Users and Groups. I then clicked Groups and tried to delete the Administrator account, however it would not allow me. Then I tried to type in "cmd.exe" in the Start Menu, once the window opened I proceeded to type: "net user administrator /active:no", and yet again it did not work. Can someone please help me remove this Administrator account as well please?

No, I turned off them all off and I still cannot extract the downloaded file.
Great. Those active, real-time scanning programs can cause all sorts of issues.
I've tried to download them to many different drives and folders including Desktop
For others, or for next time, the Desktop folder has some special properties, and those can be problematic for many programs. I suggest keeping that one clean, and not using it for such operations.
This afternoon Adobe installed Windows Installer Package and managed to Extract CS5.1; however, when I enter the serial number I get Error Message: "The serial number you entered is valid, but our qualifying product cannot be found on this Computer".
The first part is great news, and solves the originally listed problem.
For the S/N, however, there are some additional questions:
Was this an Upgrade, that you downloaded?
Do you have a qualifying copy of PS, to upgrade from?
I have never installed, or upgraded from a download, so do not know how that might function, but with the program on physical media, there are two S/N's. One is for the installer, and that S/N will tell the installer if one is doing an upgrade, or an initial install. With an upgrade, one will usually need the S/N from that qualifying program. For any S/N issue, that you cannot find a quick answer for, I strongly suggest calling Adobe Customer Support (not Adobe Technical Support), with all of the invoices, S/N's, etc., handy. They can handle most S/N issues quickly, so long as the user has the necessary numbers and paperwork.
Good luck,
Hunt

    Read this. If none of the potential issues applies to you with appropriate fixes, indeed re-downloading your possibly damaged archive is the only option.

  • Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again.

    Where can I find the Java SE 6 runtime download so I can get Adobe Photoshop CS5 up and running again. I have to go this route. Currently on my Mac, I need to be running Java 7.65 for work-related stuff. I went to the Java site, but could not find anything that simply says "Java SE 6 runtime" ... Or, is there another way to get CS5 up and running with my recent Yosemite download?

    No, I can't go that route. I have to stick with my current Java 7.65 ... Our IT department said just to download SE6 Runtime separately ... If I was understanding that correctly. Or, can you have two different versions of Java running ... 6 ... and 7.65?

  • Can I get Photoshop CS5???

    I am buying a new desktop and i want CS5, will i be able to install it?
    Processor
    Intel Pentium Dual Core E5800 Processor 3.2Ghz
    Memory
    4GB DDR3 1333Mhz
    Hard Drive
    1TB (1x1TB) SATA II
    Operating system
    Windows 7 home 64bit
    On the requirments it says use intel pentium 4.. is duel core the same or will it still work
    If you need more details please tell me.
    Thanks =)

    Intel Pentium 4 is the minimum.  Your's is far advanced over that.
    From what you've listed it looks like Photoshop will be easily able to install and run on that system.  You don't mention what video card you're getting, and that can be important.
    System requirements are here:

    As of this writing I don't think you can literally get Photoshop CS5 directly from Adobe any more though...  You'll actually be getting Photoshop CS5.1 (which is still listed as Photoshop CS5 on many pages)...  This is versioned as Photoshop 12.1, and is almost a functional equivalent of Photoshop CS5 (12.0).  Photoshop CS5.1 is the same Photoshop that's part of the CS 5.5 suites.  I know, it's rather confusing.

  • Can I install photoshop CS5 on a PC with an intel Core i3 processor?

    Can I install photoshop CS5 on a PC with an intel Core i3 processor? Will it run?

    I expect it would install and run, but Photoshop became resource hungry with CS4, and I suspect that a typical i3 system is not going to have heaps of RAM, so it won't run very well.  What is the operating system?  I'm guessing it is 32bit

    You might want to check this thread. Some have had success with CS5 on Windows 8, others not so lucky.

  • How can I download Photoshop CS5 which I bought for a Windows PC onto my Mac as the second computer?

    How can I download Photoshop CS5 which I bought for a Windows PC onto my Mac as the second computer?

    It's not possible. Serial numbers are platform specific. Even if you install the CS5 trail version, it won't activate with your PC serial. Your only option is to upgrade to Creative Cloud.

  • I downloaded OSX Yosemite and now I can't open Photoshop CS5

    I downloaded OSX Yosemite and now I can't open Photoshop CS5. Says I have to download the new Java 6 script, so I did and it still won't open.
    I try to open PS but I get a message (unexpected unrecoverable error) I was using PS before I downloaded Yosemite. Could downloading Yosemite some
    how corrupted part of PhotoShop? Should I try and reinstall PhotoShop? I have a MacBook Pro 13"; 2011; 4g mem; intel core i5.
    Any suggestions?

    You should check with Adobe, but it's likely they'll say that Photoshop CS5 isn't supported on Yosemite and they'll recommend you update to a new CC version, which of course requires a subscription.
    It could be that Photoshop requires a Java installation (and probably an old one), that isn't running on Yosemite by default. Java 6 is not "new," it's in fact very old. I do think you can download Java 6 from Apple - check apple.com/support/downloads.

    Hi chubb,
    Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, certainly you can install it on both the systems. However, both should not be used at the same time.
