CS2 Installation Help

Ok, so I bought CS2 like a year or two ago, before CS3 was released. I finally got around to installing it after moving, and it will not work. I pop the cd in, and two folders come up. One being "Technical Support" and the other I don't recall. But, there is no exe file or any kind of set up on it whatsoever. Is there any solution to this?

Are you sure you are using the correct disc? Which version of CS2 did you buy, and how many discs did you get when you bought it?

  • Acrobat CS2 Installation Help

    I own a legal student version of CS2. I recently purchased a used laptop off a friend. This laptop had a dodgy version of CS4 and Adobe Acrobat 9. I immediately unistalled CS4 knowing that she hadn't paid for these versions, but didn't realize that Acrobat 9 was separate from CS4. I installed CS2. I did an Adobe Update and after that Acrobat 9's license expired (not suprisingly)...but I thought that I had already unsinstalled it when I uninstalled CS4. I then uninstalled Acrobat 9. I then noticed that Acrobat CS2 was never installed on the laptop. I have tried several times to install Acrobat CS2. I am able to go through the installation process without any problems, but once the installation is done running, Acrobat CS2 is not installed. I'm sure this has to do with the fact that Acrobat probably deactivated Adobe 9, but I need to be able to put my legal Acrobat CS2 on my laptop. How do I fix this problem?

  • Adobe CS2 Installation,  activation and using

    Adobe Sucks!  Now that I have got that out of my system! Yes it is my Fault!  Here is the problem.
    Adobe makes great products that are over priced.  (Creative Suites-$2500.00 Retail even upgrades)
    CS2, Yes it is an older version.  Still is a fine product.  Original computer that had CS2 installed, finally bit the dust and went to Electronic waste recycle.  New computer (Windows XP Sp3-Got Windows XP just to run Adobe CS2)
    Installation of SW completed wiht no errors.  Installation activation complete with no errors.  Run In Design - "Personalize Your Software" window appears and asks for input of serial number.  Input serial number (as on Box, CD, etc.) error message states "Serial number entered is not Valid. Please check and re-enter"  It is correct and valid serial number.  program closes.  When runing Photoshop first screen appears with error box stating "Photo Shop can not find valid Serial Number"  Same serial number entered during installation and activation of software package.  Called Adobe on phone - on hold for 1.5 hours listening to elevator music.  Contacted on line chat for help.  They said that the problem could be resolved only  on the phone.  Called on  phone again.  This time was able to talk to Adobe Technical Rep.  All I heard was "CS2 is to old and not supported by Adobe".  Buy a new package ($2,500.00) again.  No discount for upgrade.  No on line Adobe support, No phone Adobe support, Sorry for the inconvience Adobe Support.  Can anyone help make Adobe CS2 work?  or Do I throw it away and write off Adobe as a Software company and find someone else?

    Jungle Rot please see Error: "...user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photoshop (CS2 on Windows) - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-user-name-organization-or.html.  There are several steps which should help you solve for this issue.

    Itunes says I must update to 11.1, but everytime I try to run it I get an error message saying:  "an error occured while running installation"  Help?

    The full message reads:  "Errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured.  Your system has not been modified.  To complete the installation, run the installer again.  Click finish to exit the installer."
    I have run it again and get the same message.  Have rebooted and tried again.  Same results.

  • Photoshop CS2 installation failures

    I have been having trouble with Photoshop CS2 installation. PS was working fine bur 3 days ago told me there was a serious error and I had to reinstall which I have tried 5 times but it gets to the end and tells me a file is missing and to quit which I do but no PS. Adobe told me to create a disc image using disk utility and install from that. Still failed. I had to install on another bootable disc with 10.4.0 and it worked so there is a software conflict somewhere, probably with the latest security update (2007) but I do not want to have to reformat my HD and reinstall ALL my software from scratch and then NOT update to latest software without knowing what is going on. Can anyone offer any suggestions please.
    Adobe say there is no conflict issue with latest security update. Have tried all sorts of install methods but it always fails at the last hurdle!
    David

    Firstly I am not installing the whole suite of software, only PS CS2 so Version Cue is not a problem.
    Adobe also say there is no conflict issue with Apple security update and CS2. They tell me about making sure I have admin read and write for registrations database but this asumes I have PS installed which I cannot
    Secondly I tried the CS3 Beta download which incidentally is 685Mb and it will not mount, so I will have to try another lengthy download

  • Help "adobe installation helper a cessé de fonctionner"

    Bonjour, je me permet de poster sur ce forum puisque depuis hier je suis confronté à un grave problème.
    En effet, je suis dans l'obligation de réinstaller le logiciel "Adobe reader", sauf que lorsque je lance l'installation, une boite de dialogue s'ouvre et m'indique que "Adobe Installation Helper a cessé de fonctionner (Windows peut rechercher une solution au problème en ligne.)."
    Ainsi, je viens ici dans l'espoir de trouver une réponse à mon problème. Bien sur, vous vous douterez que j'ai déjà exploré les différentes propositions étant dans mes cordes que j'ai pu trouver sur la toile ! Merci d'avance.

    Oups,
    Je suis sous Windows 8.1 et le probleme survient quand je veux imprimer, le clic sur "Imprimer" ferme PSCC après appartion du popup. Seul PSCC est ouvert et j'ai 20 mo de mémoire.

  • CS2 Installer not locating disk 2

    CS2 Installer not locating disk 2?

    Found the answer in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1114930?start=0&tstart=0  Jeff Wright #11.
    Found that Acrobat 7 Pro was not part of this download. Do I need to download and install this separately?
    What are the extras: CS_2.0_IE_Extras_1.dmg.bin and should there be an extras 2?
    Thx

  • Installer help application missing

    Hi,
    I just got a mini mac, and I re-install everything, updates new OS to 10.5.6 from apple and everything works fine.
    However, when I tried to install the "Stuffit Expander 2009", I got the error message saying "Missing Critical Component. Installer help application missing."
    Could somebody help me? I am new to MAC.....
    I'd really appreciate the help.
    Thanks

    I just got the same message. I downloaded an Expander 2009 .dmg from VersionTracker.com and it installed just fine - give that a shot.

  • How do I install CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" (disk 3 of 3)?

    Hi,
    How do I install the CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" disk (the 3rd of the 3 disk set although it's not labelled as disk "3")? There's an autorun.inf file but no setup.exe. The generic on-disk installation instructions are useless for this disk since they assume a setup.exe file exists.
    The disk contains the following folders: Adobe CS6 Speech Analysis Models, Adobe Encore CS6 Functional Content, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, and Fonts.
    Thanks!

    There is no installer for the files AudiosBro they are additional content which can be added to those applications.  For specific inquiries about the contents please post in the applicable forum for that application.  You can find a list of available forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome.

  • Updated 8i Installation Help Page

    I have updated the 8i Installation Help Page. In particular, I have completed the section on "Configuring Net8".
    http://homepages.tig.com.au/~jmsalvo/linux/oracle8i.html
    I have also updated the section "Post Database Creation Procedures" the other day and discussed the bug with the startup and shutdown script provided in the Oracle8i Linux Installation Guide.
    null

    Chris,
    Although I e-mailed you this already, I am reposting it for others:
    The scripts are not meant to be run by the 'oracle' user by the 'root' user, as
    these scripts are executed during startup and reboot. That's why you see in the
    an 'su' command such as:
    su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
    to change from 'root' to 'oracle', and return to 'root'
    You should not be prompted for a password during startup and shutdown, as it
    connects as 'internal'. If the user 'root' is prompted for a password, add the
    linux group 'dba' as a secondary group of linux account 'root'.
    In RedHat 6.0, I get on my screen:
    Starting up listener8i [OK]
    Starting up oracle8i [OK]
    Starting up names8i [OK]
    Also true for shutdown. Your /var/log/messages will show you the output from
    svrmgrl, it it indeed startup and shutdown.
    Also, make sure what are the run levels in RedHat 6.1 for HALT, SHUTDOWN, and
    the default runlevel. These are indicated in /etc/inittab. As I am using RedHat
    6.0, these runlevels may be different with RedHat 6.1 and other distros for that
    matter.
    In RedHat 6.0, HALT is 0, SHUTDOWN is 6, and default is 3. If they are different
    in 6.1, then you need to make the link in the proper directory under /etc/rc.d.

  • Can any MacBook Air owners help with CS2 installation?

    I had the old Photoshop CS2 disk installed on a 2006 MacBookPro, which crashed before I could deactivate, etc. Bought a 2013 MacBook Air. Hooked it to a disk drive before learning that CS2 disks are obsolete. Contacted Adobe and was provided a download link and new Serial Number instead. Successfully downloaded CS2 from their link to my MacBookAir but keep getting this vague error message when I try to install: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. I went back to the Help Chat thinking that was "contacting the software manufacturer" but was sent to the Forums instead. I know I have enough storage space available. I wish the error code was specific, so I'd know what to try... Any tips?

    Then there's no way of installing or running CS2 on Yosemite.

  • ID CS2 installation not added to Help Center

    I installed Indesign CS2 for a new employee, but when she looks up
    Help, the adobe Help center only displays help for Photoshop Elements
    5.0 and Help Center 2.1
    I've tried a Repair install, and an Uninstall/Reinstall, as well as
    manually copying files around, but I just can't get it to display the
    help file. It seems like the help "package" never gets added to the
    Help Centers collection of help files.
    Any ideas on how to correct this would be appreciated.

    This is not a completely unknown issue. If you search the knowledgebase you should find directions for downloading and installing the missing or corrupt helpcenter packages.
