Can't install Photoshop CS in Windows7

I have built a new PC with Windows7 64bit and I am in the process of installing programs.
I have the full version of Photoshop 5 and later upgrades (downloaded versions) of Photoshop 7 and CS. In the past I have had to install the upgrade version 7 which asks for the CD of a previous version, so I put  the CD of version 5 in the drive, it accepts it and after installing that, I then install CS.
But now with Windows7 It does not recognise the disk for version 5, even if I try and install CS which also asks for at least version 5. Windows7 reads the disk, but It won't run the install program on the disk.
So what now? I will be upgrading to CS4 very shortly, it has always been a pain going through these multiple installs before, now I can't run any.
Please help.
Surly there must be a way of buying an upgrade without having to go back multiple versions. I feel like I am being victimised for buying legal software. Can I buy an upgrade CS4 and install it without all this hassle?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, it only asks for the serial and does not check any previous disks or installs. Specific to your case I doubt you will have any luck. PS 5 is hopelessly outdated and it may simply not be compatible. You could try to create an ISO image of the disk and mount it as a virtual CD-ROM drive and maybe it works, but beyond that I don't see an easy way out of this. Also of course do the usual of properly running as admin, disabling UAC and DEP and checking compatibility mode options...

Well at least CS4 should install then, that's a relief! I tried further with PS 5 and trying to run the setup.exe instead of the install box, I get a message saying that it is not a 64 bit compatible program, so that may also be why the later installs also don't see it.
Thanks for your help.

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no  longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.

    mbuenger
    Are you referring to how many times can I install, uninstall, reinstall Photoshop Elements 13 or Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer?
    Or, how many of your computers can have a same purchased activated serial number at the same time for either of these products?
    If the former, I know of no limit.
    If the latter, the answer would be as John as mentioned.

  • Can't install Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3

    Hello, I recently have reformated my machine and installed XP SP3
    sadly now, I can't install Photoshop CS3, when I double-click on Setup.exe, it show me a small bar/dialog which tells me it's extracting files, but after that, NOTHING HAPPENS
    I left it for an hour, and again, nothing happens. I checked my Task Manager and I found that Setup.exe and Msiexec.exe are running but with completely 0% of system resource.
    I tried everything possible, nothing worked for me, I really need Photoshop CS3 for my work.
    thanks advance
    JohnX

    I hear ya. that's on an existing system with an upgrade. i've solved (well, resolved) a remote desktop problem with a rollback to sp2.
    but on the clean xp pro sp3 system (1st app install after anti-virus and firewall), the cs3 install took about 10 minutes. very fast very smooth.

    or  school need to buy a license.

    I don't see that anything would stop you installing the trial, though it is not for that and the license might forbid it, not sure. But the trial lasts 30 days and cannot be extended or repeated. You are expected to buy software used in teaching, though there may be academic discounts.

  • Can't install photoshop elements 9

    Hi
    Since updating to windows 8 I have had loads of problems with Flash player and can't install photoshop elements 9
    I have tried following the steps to uninstall flash but it didn't work.
    It says my flash is in chrome and I suspect I need the version for windows 8. However I just can't download it because it thinks I already have it.
    please help as I can't download any photos and my memory cards are all full!
    The error message I get when I try to install photoshop is
    "error 1327.Invalid Drive:N:\"

    Hm, this looks perfectly correct!  And I don't think the subst command is any different on Windows 8...
    Can you try the following (delete drive N: first if it already exists)
    subst N: /d
    subst N: C:\Windows
    If that still does not work, does Windows 8 Explorer have a Map Network Drive tool?

  • How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on a new computer with Windows 8?

    How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new computer with Windows 8?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
