CS2 install from Error Activation downloads

installing Creative Suite 2 from the downloads on Error: Activation page. I downloaded the files, opened them, and copied the contents back into the folder  per "Insert disc two alert" instructions. It still asks to insert Disc 2. Help

Curtlee it looks like you were able to resolve this difficulty based on your recent reply at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6304825#6304825.  Is this the case?

  • CS2 install - path error (unsupported chactery

    I am attempting to install CS2 from a link and have run into a “bad path” error.
    I own Adobe CS (first version) which has been working perfectly. However, I lost it when I sent my computer in for repair.  Yesterday, a customer service rep told me Adobe is no longer willing to activate CS and I must download a free version of CS2 which does not require activation. I was given this link
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-act ivation-end-life.html
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    I have downloaded the files. I clicked the disc 1 exe file and was asked where I wanted the program files to be placed and clicked on the default option given . . .
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe
    However, when I choose it, a pop-up window appeared with this info . . .
    “The path you selected for installation contains unsupported characters. Please choose a different folder for installation.”
    When I click on Browse, I don’ t see a likely choice.
    Also, the window shows that the entire suite requires 2.62 MB of available space – but the folder suggested ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe) has 0MB available.
    My C Drive has 119MB of total space, with 65.9MB available.
    If it helps . . . CS2 is NOT shown as an installed program on the control panel. However, I opened my C Drive and see it has a folder “Creative Suite CS2.” Inside that folder are four files and a sub-folder ”Adobe Creative Suite 2.0” Inside that folder are 23 files and seven more sub-folders – each with more files and folders.

    My C Drive has 119MB of total space, with 65.9MB available.
    Is that a typo?
    Do you mean GB (Gigabytes) not MB (Megabytes)?
    “The path you selected for installation contains unsupported characters. Please choose a different folder for installation.”

    Try Solution 2 or 3.

  • How to stop Firefox deleting active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

    I tend to remove old downloads from the download manager by pressing the 'del' key. Before the update to the new download manager, Firefox would not delete downloads when the 'del' key was pressed, *if* it was still downloading. This is no longer the case, and you can now accidentally remove downloads that are still downloading if the 'del' key is pressed.
    Is there a way to prevent Firefox from removing active downloads when the 'del' key is pressed?

    '''<Control> J''' to open the download manager. At the upper right is a button;
    '''Clear Downloads.''' This will remove completed downloads only.

  • Install CS2 from link - Error Activation Server Unavailable

    I've downloaled CS2 for Windows from the link in "Error: Activation Server Unavailable"  but when I run the setup .exe its asking for cd 2 to be loaded!  - "Cd 2" seems to the problem - I've checked the size and it appears to be correct (I've re-downloaded it 3 times!).
    Has any one else had this issue?
    Only solution Adobe can suggest is to buy CS6!

    I was told the CS2 is old software by the Adobe Help Desk and it is no longer supported so the only real option is to upgrade to CS6.
    Our Company policy is to us Microsoft IE 8 so I don't really have the option to download using a different browser.  Especially when you don't say which one! It appears to download correctly as the files are the same size as the orginals.
    I have tried installing CS2 on a fresh computer running Win XP and I get the same issue.
    Its still asking for CD2!
    Obviously I'm doing some thing wrong but there are no real instructions apart from the download.
    I've been running the "CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe" first - the files are extracted then ot lauches the install... then asks for CD2! Then there no other option but to cancel the install.
    I then run CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe then CreativeSuiteDisc3.exe.
    Then run the setup.exe. Check all componets to be installed then it installs CD1  then it asks for CD2.  If I just check just check Illustrator and Photoshop, it will install these ok as it only uses CD1 and CD3. Well... 2 out of an't bad!
    I have tried running in reverse order  - CD3, 2 then  1 ... still the same issue!
    Any suggestions welcome!

    OFFICE 365 is a cloud version of OFFICE 2013. Full compatibility with Acrobat requires an updated Acrobat XI. You will likely have to store the file and then open in AA 9. To create a PDF you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin that has several issues.

  • In trying to install a Flash update on my Mac (version 10.7.5), I'm getting an "unable to install metafile" message after initialization starts (at the 25% point)-regardless of the site from which I download the installation folder.

    In trying to install a Flash update on my Mac (version 10.7.5), I'm getting an "unable to install metafile" message after initialization starts (at the 25% point)—regardless of the site from which I download the installation folder.

    Hello everybody, good news: after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I've been able to run the installer and all went fine.
    Mountain Lion allows user to force execution through the context-menu (CTRL-click) Open command and it does work, just that simple.
    So my advice is: if you want to install or re-install Flash Builder 4.6 on a Mac with Lion installed, upgrade to Mountain Lion or better to avoid problems.
    Apple introduced some (not all) Gatekeeper functionalities in 10.7.3 and following, but apparently you need a full-fledged 10.8 to have also what you need to circumvent a Revoked Certificate error.
    Since usually OS X has auto updating active, if you are running Lion you end up with 10.7.5 and won't install FB46. If you manage somehow to hold 10.7.2 I suppose you should be able to install FB46, sincerely I didn't check it out. Anyway it's simpler and safer to move on to 10.8.x.
    Bye

  • CS2 installation from download

    Just as Gibbo posted a few hours ago, I am unable to complete installation as the install is asking for a disc and I have download files instead.  I have possession of the discs, but Adobe today sent me instead to these downloads because they don't support activation on CS2 anymore.  How do I get the downloads to complet the process?

  • How can I download itunes when I get the following errors...have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7

    How can I download itunes when I get the following errors  ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
    This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
    Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Acrobat 7 Pro will not install from Adobe download 22020134.exe

    I run Windows XP.  I uninstalled my copy of Adobe 7 Pro to transfer it to another computer.  I successfully installed the download provided by Adobe (which replaces original disks) on the other computer.  I found I was having general problems with this computer (nothing to do with Adobe) and decided to uninstall Adobe 7 Pro and reinstall it on my original computer.  So far it has failed to install and I get the message: Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate. 
    I have removed all Adobe products from my computer other than Photoshop elements. 
    Has anyone any ideas as to what I can try next.  Anyone's help would be much appreciated.

    Run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder you had before. Then reboot and install. You may still have some issues with the install since the activation no longer works with AA7. If this is the case, then check http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1287524.
