Creative Suite 2 installation and activation on Windows 7 pc

I am having trouble re-installing a copy of creative suite 2 on a Windows 7 machine. I have legally purchased the software and have the box with the serial number but can't use these due to the activation problems. I am trying to install from the instructions which tell you to download the cs2 exe files from the adobe site - I am downloading the files first before running as this seems to be a problem for some people but each time only get as far as installing disk 1 file and can't get the install to carry on to the disk 2 files, you either get ok (which does nothing) or cancel which quits you out of the install.

CS2 is unsupported in Windows 7 and if it’s 64 bit that makes it even more
complicated. I’m afraid you are on your own.

I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion. Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
Installer database is corrupted
Update pending to your operating system
Improper permissions set for the Media.db

<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

Creative suite 4 and 5.5 compatable with Windows 8 and Office 2013?

We have both Creative Suite 4 and a few CS5.5. One classroom will be moving to Windows 8 and Office 2013 this Summer term. Will either of these suites work or will we need to upgrade to CS6?

The only honest answer: You won't know until you try. Generally they will/ should be compatible, but you may require dealing with legacy issues like printer compatibility or thne installer not finding specific folders as well as al lthe usual - security stuff, user privileges, network stuff in shared environements. you would face some of those issues even with CS6 or CC, so it's irrelevant to get a new version until there are real hard reasons beyond these issues. They can all be resolved, it may just take some fiddling and lots of patience.

I recently got a new HP PC 500-267c/64 bit Windows 7 computer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop? It says I need the Twain Plug In. How do I get it?

I have a new HP PC 500-267c/ Windows 7/64 bit c omputer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop.
It says I need the Plug In Twain to scan into Photoshop and can download it but nothing else. How and where
do I find the download?

There's no 64 bit TWAIN so you need to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop. Personally I'd recommend that you use the scanner software as a standalone application and forget TWAIN, which is rapidly becoming obsolete and more or less abandoned everywhere. All it does is call up the very same scanner software, only from within the PS UI, and tying up Photoshop in the process.

Problem with installation and activation

Hi, I have a problem with the installation of Adobe Muse.
I had a free 30-days trial, when it was over I bought the product ($ 13 per month),
I installed the program again and I see the same window with the finished Trials
and it requires a serial number and does not allow to enter the program.
I installed the program on your PC wife without any problems, but I can not install it on a laptop.
I have a laptop with Windows 8 operating system.
What I've done:
1. Uninstalled the free program,
2. check the connection to the Internet,
3. has installed a new program from the official website adobe.com,
4. Remove the line for the activation of the hosts file and resave the file,
5. turned off the brandmower,
6. rebooted.
I can't get support for a 3 days, is it the most terrible support I've ever seen? I dunno
Please help me at [email protected]

I guess this stuff helps me

Problem installing Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Web Developer

Will Adobe Bridge and Media Encoder be installed even though they are not listed in the options window during the installation process? I have the Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Web Developer Software disk.

Yes.

Adobe Creative Suite Design and Web Premium CS6 package

Trying to install Adobe Creative Suite Design and Web Premium CS6 package. When I run the install I keep getting the error message: "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder". HOW DO I FIX THIS?

Hey John,
That sounds like a tough one. I searched around a little and found a few other reports of this error but saw no definitive solutions.
This would be what I would recommend you try:
- Be sure you're using the default installation option if you are not already, install to the boot drive, typically C: (you're probably already doing this)
- The amount of free space is really only relevant for the OS drive. I'd try using Disk Cleanup and remove all temporary files
This doc is for Windows 7 but should work for 8.1 too - Delete files using Disk Cleanup - Windows Help
- Boot up in a Selective Startup and attempt the installation again from there. These instructions are the steps I would try - How to perform a clean boot of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 to diagnose issues
Note: You'll want to re-enable the normal startup afterwards regardless
- Finally, attempt the installation from the Windows built in Administrative account and see if you get the same result, here are the instructions I would follow - Windows 8.1 Tip: How To Enable and Disable Hidden Administrator Account | Next of Windows
Like before, you'll want to disable it and revert back to your normal user afterwards
I'd recommend testing the installation after completing each of these steps I described above. I've seen cases similar to this before, where other software was interfering with the installation, the OS was not reporting accurate free space to the installer, or something is restricting necessary rights to the installer for access to directories needed for the installation. I suspect some similar is happening to you as well.
Please give these a go and let me know if you get it installed.
Best,
- Dave

Fonts bundled with Creative Suite 2 (and individual CS2 products)

We had somebody spend a few hours looking into this. He found that on Windows only, if Bickham Script Pro and/or Warnock Pro is deleted after install, further installs won't get them back. It seems only a complete uninstall and then reinstall gets them back.
Sorry for the delay in posting this. I lost track of the thread....
DETAILS
I did some playing around with the CS2 installer and found something interesting that might be related to some customers not finding Bickham Script Pro or Warnock Pro.
On both the Macintosh and Windows platform, using the Suite installer to install even one app from the Suite (e.g., GoLive) installed Bickham and Warnock--no surprise.
On the Macintosh, if I manually deleted those fonts files from the Application Support: Adobe: Fonts folder, then used the Creative Suite installer to install another application from the Suite (e.g., Photoshop), those fonts got reinstalled--again, pretty much as I would have expected.
On the Windows side, however, if I manually deleted those font files from the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder, then installed another app (e.g., Photoshop), the fonts DID NOT get reinstalled.
Even more interesting, if I manually deleted the entire Fonts folder from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe, then used the Creative Suite installer to install an application from the Suite (e.g., I removed Photoshop, deleted the Fonts Folder, then reinstalled Photoshop) the Fonts folder got reinstalled as did the reqd folder inside of it (and the contents of the reqd folder) but Bickham Script and Warnock Pro were NOT reinstalled.
On a fresh machine, I tried using the Suite installer to install only Photoshop from the Suite, just to make sure it actually installs Bickham and Warnock, and it does. I then removed Bickham and Warnock and installed GoLive with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock. Then I installed Acrobat with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock.
If I use Add/Remove to completely remove ALL Creative Suite applications and support files and preferences, then reinstall an app, I DO get Warnock and Bickham.
His theory: On the Windows platform, if customers are removing those fonts, or for whatever reason they don't get installed in the first place (though I couldn't reproduce a problem here), they may not get the fonts unless they do a full removal of the entire Creative Suite package (all applications) before reinstalling.
