Can't install CS2 on my new machine!!!!

I have recently upgraded my machine. I'm running windowsXP 64-bit. I have sucessfully installed cs1 and all programs work. As I install cs2, the upgrade, I get to the "installation location" at the very beginning of the process I get this error message:
"THE PATH YOU SELECTED FOR INSTALLATION CONTAINS UNSUPPORTED CHARACTERS. PLEASE CHOOSE A DIFFERENT FOLDER FOR INSTALLATION"
I have tried to redirect to a different location but I continue to get the same error message.

If no version is compatible than why can I run CS1?
From what my I.T. guy told me at the office is that windowXP 64 bit
has a folder to run the 32-bit programs. And that is what they are using at our office.
Also I had CS2 installed on here but it was giving me an error "invalid username/serial
numer" and it would shut down. I had to format my hard drive, not because of that error,
and figured i would be able to reinstall CS2 and just get the "invalid username/serial number"
error fixed. unfortunatly though now i can't even get it installed.

  • How can I install CS2 on my new Mac?

    I gave my ibook to a woman headed for an orphanage in Africa. Before I gave it to her, I asked the tech guy to take off all applications, which he did. I now want to intall CS2 on my new comptuer, a 10.5.7 laptop.  I put in the first disk and clicked install. All went well. The blue line went along to the end of C1, which I took to mean that the first disk as installed. Then I was directed to insert the second disk, which I did. It would not install. I had only the options to resume or quit. When I hit resume, I was only taken back to the window that offered me the options of resume of quit. Finally I hit quit. I tried putting in the second disk again. But I cannot proceed with the installation.
    Is there something I can do to move forward? I'm missing the opportunity to work on my graphics in Photoshop.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks,
    Audrey

    Thank you, Bob. It 's not the answer I wanted, but given what happens when I try to install, it's likely the correct one.
    PS This was a Mac version purchased in a Mac outlet.

  • Installing CS3 Upgrade on new machine? CS2 registered user on old machine

    I was wondering if I would be able to install a CS3 Upgrade on a new iMac I plan to purchase....I have a fully registered CS2 version on my current iMac, so therefore I think I'd be eligible to only purchase the upgrade...but would I need to install CS2 on the new iMac first, then the upgrade? Would doing this affect the upgrade because of multiple activations on CS2?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Just install CS3. During the installation you'll be asked for some proof
    of eligibility. You need either the CS2 installation disk or the serial
    number, but make sure you have both handy.

  • How can I install iWork '09 on new MacBook with Lion?

    I have an install DVD for iWork '09 (9.0.3), and I've been running iWork on my iMac for several years without a problem, even after upgrading to Lion. Now I have a new MacBook Air with Lion preloaded and am trying to install iWork on the new machine. I was able to install from the DVD using drive sharing, but when I try to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote, I get a message that says "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem" -- presumably because I need to update iWork for Lion. After downloading the iWork 9.1 update, I tried to open it but get an error message that says "A newer version of Keynote has already been installed."
    This doesn't make sense to me, since the version I installed from the DVD is definitely older. How can I update iWork to run on my new machine?
    By the way, I tried just copying the programs from my iMac with AirDrop, and I get the first error message I mentioned above.

    MN,
    I don't know why the Drive Sharing idea didn't work. I can think of reasons that copying with AirDrop wouldn't work.
    At some point you may just want to give up and purchase Pages using the Mac App Store. It's ridiculously cheap and easy.
    I worry that you have so much inoperable iWork stuff on this computer that it needs a good clean-up, whichever way you decide to go.
    Yvan Koenig has a script to do the purging of old copies of iWork files that you can run before you make any more attempts at installing iWork or any of its components. It the last item on this page as of this writing...

  • How can I install Appleworks on a new Mac?

    I've been using Macs since 1993, and have a lot of old files in Appleworks format. Whilst I now use Office and iWork '08, I'd be lost without Appleworks for many old files. Is it possible to install Appleworks on a new Mac, running Leopard? I hope to replace my laptop soon, but the fact its been discontinued has put my off for now. Any help gratefully received!

    You can install AppleWorks 6.2.4 or AppleWorks 6.2.9 on your new Mac, using an install disk that has an OS X installer. (Installers prior to mid 2001 ran in Mac OS 9, and although the version of AppleWorks they install will likely run on Tiger or Leopard, the installer won't.)
    Getting hold of a retail version may prove a bit difficult, as Apple is no longer supplying it to retailers. Hard Core Mac was reported recently to have install disks containing AppleWorks 6.2.4, and AW 6 does come up occassionally on eBay and other similar sites.
    If the laptop you are replacing contains AppleWorks, you can transfer the application to your new machine by simply moving the whole AppleWorks 6 folder and its contents into the Applications folder on the new machine. Doing this via a CD will give you a backup copy should you ever need to reinstall the application. AppleWorks will create any other required files and folders as it needs them. Note that the usual single user licence allows for only a single copy of the application to exist on a single computer at a time. After moving the AW 6 folder to the new machine, you should delete it from the old to stay within the terms of the licence.

    Hi Miguel,
    If you have the disks for the softwares you can simply put that into the MAC and start the installation from it.

  • Can I install Tiger in my NEW 21.5" iMac ?

    Can I install Tiger on my NEW 21.5" iMac ?
    Machine bought new - Nov. '09.
    While I do like some of the features in Snow Leopard... almost all my existing software plus the Sims 2
    games will apparently NOT run (or run well).

    Rosetta does exactly that. It was created to run MacOS X programs that only ran on PPC macs to run on intel processors. Rosetta would translate PPC machine instructions into intel instrucions on-the fly.
    Classic Mode was a whole separate operating system. Rosetta merely translates PPC to intel so it is generally invisible to the user.
    I have used Quicken '05, iMovie HD, AppleWorks and Microsoft Office under Rosetta with no issues. Photoshop 7 was the only program I have that choked and would not run. I would guess that the Sims program would be most likely to not run. They might have an intel update available, I know that Zoo tycoon 2 had a patch to allow for intel processers, The Sims might, too.
    Some programs have "fat binaries" with both versions. If you are curious, you can see whether you are running intel or PPC-translated by using the activity monitor.
    You don't need to run Rosetta separately, if it is needed it turns itself on, so the programs install normally. In fact, some programs needed Rosetta just to run the installer, the actual software ran on the intels.
    I think I have the same machine as you, I just bought my new 21.5" iMac last month. I love it by they way, a DVD that would have taken all night to burn was done in a little over an hour!

    Kerrse,
    ...and it's content?
    While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
    However, worth giving a try.....

  • Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Are you trying to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, or vice versa?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:
