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.”

  • Oracle Install/Path Error in linux.sh

    Ok...
    I have installed Oracle 8i on a Linux system. I
    have also downloaded the latest patch. Before I
    patch it I was told to run the linux.sh in
    $ORACLE_HOME/install/utl/.
    I am trying to do that howerver...almost every
    gmake call that is running errors out with the ld
    call. Specifically on some of hte calls that use
    "lserver8" and "lclntsh". I don't know enough C to try and debug the install scripts, and was
    hoping that someone may have run into this before.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Here is one of the errors:

  • CS2 install from Error Activation downloads

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

    I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time.  However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop.  I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd.  Please advise.

    Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall.  I found a work around.
    For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
    When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
    Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
    After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
    Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

  • CS2 gives login error message and shuts down automatically

    Hi,
    I hope someone can direct me to a quick fix for this because I just shot a wedding and need to be editing ASAP. I turned on PhotoShop CS2 and after loading it gives me the error message saying somehting to the effect of "Your username, login, organization, or serial key is missing or invalid. Photoshop must shut down". My copy is registered, and I have the loging info and serial , but I cannot do anything at all in the program. It doesn't give an option to re-enter my info. It just shuts itself down. I use it all the time and have had it on this computer since 06 so I have no idea why it's doing this now. Any help tonight would be great.
    Thanks in advance.
    Scott

    System specs, please. Is CS2 installed on a 64 bit operating system?

  • 3-1674105521 Multiple Paths error while using Bridge Table

    https://support.us.oracle.com/oip/faces/secure/srm/srview/SRViewStandalone.jspx?sr=3-1674105521
    Customer Smiths Medical International Limited
    Description: Multiple Paths error while using Bridge Table
    1. I have a urgent customer encounterd a design issue and customer was trying to add 3 logical joins between SDI_GPOUP_MEMBERSHIP and these 3 tables (FACT_HOSPITAL_FINANCE_DTLS, FACT_HOSPITAL_BEDS_UTILZN and FACT_HOSPITAL_ATRIBUTES)
    2. They found found out by adding these 3 joins, they ended with circular error.
    [nQSError: 15001] Could not load navigation space for subject area GXODS.
    [nQSError: 15009] Multiple paths exist to table DIM_SDI_CUSTOMER_DEMOGRAPHICS. Circular logical schemas are not supported.
    In response to this circular error, the developer was able to bypass the error using aliases, but this is not desired by client.
    3. They want to know how to avoid this error totally without using alias table and suggest a way to resolve the circular join(Multiple Path) error.
    Appreciated if someone can give some pointer or suggestion as the customer is in stiff deadline.
    Thanks

    The strange thing compared to your output is that I get an error when I have table prefix in the query block:

    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.

  • "no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" error when connecting a TNS database co

    Hi
    "no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" error when connecting a TNS database connection
    I have the same problem 'error code' when testing the connection to a database although I have an APEX db that connects without a problem.
    I have re downloaded jre & SQL Developer just to ensure all files are where they should be with no luck.
    I've also tried most of the suggestions in various threads.
    Does anyone know what exactly causes this error?
    eg; should I be looking for a file called 'ocijdbc11' & put it into the 'java.library.path' path?
    Can anyone explain to a newbie at db connections what I should do?
    I'm using the 'thin' client as the checkbox is clear & I don't know what path to enter into the correct file to make this work??
    This is & needs to connect as a TNS connection & was working fine until recently, the only change I can think of is a move of files from the 'C' drive but I thought redownloading SQL Developer would slove this.
    Thanks

    When you reinstalled SQL Developer, did you install into a new directory (ie rename or delete the old directory first)?
    I don't know if system setup contains directory references (which might be invalid after moving the location of SQL Developer). Does renaming your system2.1.1.64.45 directory (in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\SQL Developer) help? Note that your connections are in the connections.xml file in the o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.2.36.55.30 subdirectory of system2.1.1.64.45 - you will either need to export connections before renaming and then import again after or copy this file to test if you can connect.
    Finally, the TNS Names directory preference is just a way of telling SQL Developer where to look for the tnsnames.ora file, rather than just assuming it will pick the right one. If you go to create a new connection, do you get the right list of TNS aliases? If not, then set this preference to the directory where the right tnsnames.ora file lives.

    I do it all the time this is the only time i've gotten this error, i use mpeg stream clip. I have a dvd I got from a DVR recorder, I open the dvd which shows 2 VOB files in the TS folder. the MENU gives "Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks." I "Fix Now" and it works fine. But i dont want the menu. the other VOB file in the TS folder, which should be the "movie I want" gives this error when opened,
    "File open error: unsupported file type"
    when I open anyway, I get an audio bar which has no sound, and no video.
    ANY IDEAS? I've been on this for hours PLEASE

    Hi,
    Do you have the [MPEG-2 component|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2> installed on your computer? If not, you will need it to be able to convert VOB files.

  • No apps launch on new CS2 install

    Hi all,
    Hopefully I'll provide enough information. I recently installed CS2 to a new MacBook Pro 15". The MBPro was running CS without a problem and I was asked to upgrade to CS2 by a client.
    On running the install for CS2 the installer fails the installation of SVG viewer 3.0 but otherwise runs without error. Once the installer is finished I attempted to run Photoshop CS2 and got the following error:
    =======================================================
    The Application Adobe Photoshop CS2 quit unexpectedly.
    ((current date and time))
    EXC_CRASH (SIGTRAP)
    Thread 0 Crashed:
    0 0 + 2149176322

    4 spin_lock_wrapper + 1981
    Ingnore Report... Relaunch
    =======================================================
    All CS2 applications give the same error on launch.
    I have manually deleted all applications including my previous CS installation and all files listed in the Knowledge base article on troubleshooting installation problems and tried the install again. I have also attempted to download SVG viewer 3.0 from the adobe site and received an unknown installation error.
    I ran disk permissions repair and disk repair with no change in status, the same error happens every time any CS2 app is launched including "Adobe Help Center"
    My computer is a MacBookPro 15" OS X 10.5.6 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM.

    All this advice is very strange because while I appreciate that technology moves on, unfortunately at the current time I can not upgrade to CS4 or CS3. Also regardless of what you are saying my copy of CS (mostly Photoshop CS) worked flawlessly for the past six months until I tried to install CS2 yesterday.
    Why CS2 would not be supported while CS works flawlessly I have no idea, and I also have no idea why now, after a restoration to my files and operating system from a time machine backup from before the CS2 install I can no longer launch my Photoshop CS and am getting an error of "Could not complete your request because certain required files were not found in the Adobe Photoshop CS Required folder."
    Adobe's lack of support on this matter is both frustrating and infuriating as it means a $1000 plus purchase is not supported little more than two years after the purchase unless I want to spend another $800.
    Their advice that I come get answers from the user community has resulted in this thread which so far has only told me that what I was doing was impossible and that what I want to do is not possible and I should spend more money.

  • Installation error Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112

    Trying to install an application or "whatever", from a mounted dmg image installer gives this error:
    Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112.
    A developer I contacted suggested a workaround by disabling/enabling checkmark of "Ignore ownership on this volume".
    Is there anyone knowing the reason for this issue and final solution?
    PS I already have verified/repaired permissions on boot disk.

    Steps to do
    1) /etc/hosts now reads:
    127.0.0.1     localhost
    192.168.56.101 demo.us.oracle.com oracle-pc
    2) updated java in path /usr/java from 1.5 to the latest version (1.6.0_27) by rpm-deinstalling the old version first and
    then rpm-installing the new version.
    3) Don't do a simple install.
    Instead u installed WebLogic Server 10.3.5 first, than do the Repository creation with RCU, followed by the BI Server software only install
    and finally the BI Server configuration.
    Marks as correct if helpful or let me know the updates?

  • Error" Unsupported CPU Detected

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion P6142P desktop with the M2N78-LA (Violet) mobo. I recently installed a new AMD Phenom X4 9850 CPU; which accordingly to the HP website is compatible with this unit. Once installed I get the message: "Error: Unsupported CPU detected, System will shut down in a few seconds". Now I can get past this by hitting "F2" several times and Windows 7 (64-bit, Ult) will load. In both BIOS (v5.22) and device manager the CPU shows up accurately. Any thoughts on a cause and possible fix?

    Previously, the specs for the Violet motherboard have stated a TDP of 95 watts. It appears that the AMD Phenom X4 9850 CPU came in two version, both of which are listed at 125 watts TDP. As far as I know, the Violet motherboard is only rated for 95 watts TDP and the only fix is to install a 95 watt TDP CPU.
