CS5 Master Collection installs Application Folders for unselected apps

I elected to install only some of the applications from the CS5 Master Collection but the installation created several folders for apps I did not install.
These folders have the application in them BUT the application will not launch.
For example, I did NOT install "Premier Pro CS5" but there is a foler in Applications called "Adobe Premier Pro CS5". In this folder I see "Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.app". If I click on that I get the message:
"You can't open the application Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 because it may be damaged or incomplete."
Is this normal?
Why would folders and non-functioning apps be installed when they were specifically NOT excluded by me during the install process.
I'd like to fix this without messing up anything. There's no "unisntaller" in these situation.
Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem and situation with CS5 production premium.
I reinstalled after PC re-build and it won't update. The Manager actually downloads all the apps (tried several times now and it downloads the 512MB of files) and then says there was an error. If I click on the customer support link it takes me to a page on Adobe about serial number problems : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-qualifying-product.html.
Suggests a serial number issue, but it is correct and the base product from discs installed and registered correctly.
Come on Adobe is this your way of forcing us to the cloud? How do we update products?

CS5 Master Collection Installation Issue

I have a 15in retina display mac running on mavericks. I recently ran a clean up software for my computer and it deleted all my adobe applications. When I try to install from the disk I get the error "installer failed to initialize" and adobe support advisor did not detect an issue. I've tried just about everything and I can't get it back. Any help would be much appriciated! I can supply any additional information you might need

CS5 Master Collection - installation error

I reinstalled my mac and now trying to install my old adobe software to Yosemite. I got CS5 master collection (now downloaded the installer from Adobe website) but after asking password, (which the installation accepts) it gives an error message: Asennusohjelman tietokannassa havaittiin epäyhtenäisyys. Käynnistä tietokone uudelleen ja asenna uudelleen. (Finnish). I´ve tried to restart the computer but no matter what, still the same error message (Translated to English) Installation of the program in the database were observed heterogeneity . Restart the computer and re-install

apply this info to cs5.

CS5 Master Collection: So much installs, even when I choose not to.

Hello everyone! I have installed Adobe CS5 for the mac, but have been very choosey in my install options. During the install, I only chose Photoshop, After Effects and OnLocation to install, as well as unchecking ALL of the other options. Low and behold, after the install in my Applications folder I have: Adobe After Efects CS5, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Encore CS5, Adobe Media Encoder CS5, Adobe OnLocation CS5, Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Premiere CS5, Adobe Soundbooth CS5 folders.
Inside the Encore, Media Encoder, Premiere and Soundbooth folders are small apps that if I try to open it says: "You can't open the application xxxx because it may be damaged or incomplete".
Why do they install those folders if I chose not to install those apps?!

Yeah, I remember having a similar issue with CS4. CS5 seems to be so much worse, however.
For example, if I run the CS5 Master Collection installer and install ONLY Photoshop CS5 standalone without any additional components, it will also install Third Party Content for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Soundbooth, etc. leaving folders for those apps. Why is any of that necessary?
Anyways, I was just curious if anyone else has this issue or if it's an isolated issue.

What is the "Content" DVD used for in CS5 Master Collection?

Hey Everybody,
Sorry--I know there must be some cue I am over looking somewhere, but what is the Contents DVD fo in the 4 disk CS5 Master Collection Installation Pack? I have installed everything on a new MacBook Pro. First 3 DVDs are very logical (in terms of what they contain and how to install them), but the 4th one just has a bunch or read-me files in various languages. Is there something on this disk I need to install?
Many thanks in advance!

Just some templates and other assorted stuff. Nothing you have to have.

Notebook Specs for Adobe CS5 Master Collection

Hi guys, I am currently in process of buying a new notebook.
I will be running a Adobe CS5 Master Collection and few other programs.
Can you guys let me know what are best specs that this notebook must have?
I know Mac is best option but my company is not willing to get one, they are willing to settle for HP / Dell / etc…
I will need this notebook to handle multiple applications at a time (dreamweaver, illustrator, photoshop, etc etc…).
I dont want the basic specs, what more can i include to get this notebook running like a super machine?
eg. 8GB Ram, i7 processor?
What do you guys advise?
Thank You
Bradley

I was curious about your experience with CS5 Master Collection, since I purchased the CS4 Master Collection more than a year ago.
I had previously bought the CS3 Master Collection and upgraded. The original CS3 collection was reasonable to work with because there was a Disc for each different program. If you needed to reload a program you could figure it out. When I upgraded to CS4 which was a decent price, I figured what I would get would be comprehensible in the sense that CS3 was. What I received was (I believe 5 discs...I don't have them with me) labeled Content
and Applications. It wasn't long, because of the general 64-bit confusion, that one of the programs (Acrobat Pro) became corrupted. I wasn't sure which disc or discs to load. There are absolutely no instructions or anywhere you can go to find them. Adobe provides nothing for Master Collection
owners, or rather up-graders...try sending an email...good luck. Try calling...to find out how to load a program? By the way when I try to load one of the Content discs, I get a message that says my laptop, with all the bells and whistles, and which originally accepted the Master Collection, cannot load the software, whatever that means. I wrote several emails to Adobe asking for help, I'll even pay for it...no answer. I also subscribe to the Professional Photographers podcast and Adobe is frequently mentioned as having terrible customer service and having over-priced software. I'm seriously thinking of alternatives, but everyone uses Photoshop, which you're probably better off buying by itself. Or, you could wait for another frustrated customer to post his/her complaint to the Adobe Forums. I don't think the Adobe administrators will let this be posted, but please, be forewarned about the terrible customer service.

Acrobat Pro 9 Extended not available for CS5 Master Collection

Hello Forum Folks:
I have a volume license account with 5 CS5 Master Collections.
As part of the CS5 MC suite Acrobat 9 Pro is included.
I was told by a sales rep that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended cannot be purchased as an upgrade from a suite product.
If I choose to purchase Acrobat 9 Pro Extended it would be as a stand alone product license at full price for all five licenses.
MY DILEMMA:
I only need one of the features that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended offers that's not included in the Pro version.
If I purchase 5 stand alone copies of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, I will have 5 additonal licenses of Acrobat
outside of my 5 CS5 Master Collection licenses to keep up with.
So in effect I'll have 10 licenses of 2 different versions of Acrobat 9 Pro and Extended to upgrade
sometime in the future in order to keep all uniform and in sync.
This is not an efficient nor economical way to stay current with Adobe's fine products.
The Case manager I spoke with did a fine job attempting to assist me but was unable to find an effective solution.
She recommended that I post on the forum and an Adobe staff member might be able to contact me
and address my concerns. Case Number: #204262178
Thank You / Peace

I respect that you are employed by MicroSoft, but the compatability center is not always accurate. It indicated that Adobe Pro 8 was compatabile for both 32 bit and 63 bit - but it is not. I have upgraded to Adobe Pro 9 Extended because Adobe says that this is compatable with 64 bit. The Microsoft compatability center also says that v9 is compatable with 64 bit. But it is Not. I have upgraded Adobe to 9.3.0, and it is Still not working. I now have $700 invested in Adobe software that is non-functional due to W7 64 bit.
So although users can check the compatability center - as I did prior to purchasing my new laptop - but it may not be accurate.
And yes, I have updated the compatability center to indicate that the information there is incorrect.
I have searched/googled everything that I can think of, and still nothing helps. If you have a suggestion how to make this work, I am listening.

During CS5 master collection update, I get the error "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." This has been happening for the past few days. Can someone help me getting my updates?

During CS5 master collection update on Windows 7, 64-bit laptop, I get the error "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." This has been happening for the past few days. Can someone help me getting my updates?

Since CS5 is from 4+ years before the Cloud, this is not the right forum... but I don't really know a correct forum for that very old product
Have you tried to manually update the individual programs?
All updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows) on a laptop without optical drive

Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows) - is there any possibility of installing my legitimately purchased MC-CS3 on a new laptop without optical drive? Perhaps through a download link or will tranfering all Adobe files from my old to my new computer do the trick as well? Or do I necessarily have to buy an external optical drive? Thank you for answering.

No need to buy an optical drive and don't try transferring, it rarely works.
Download the installer from Download CS3 products
Install then enter your serial number to license it.

Error when attempting to update Adobe CS5 Master Collection via Adobe Application Manager

I have a copy of Adobe CS5 Master Collection running on OS X Yosemite.
For the last few weeks, anytime that I'm prompted to update CS5, I allow it but it fails. See the first screenshot below for details. The second screenshot is the error log file.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Bumping this to hopefully get some exposure and replies. Still getting this error, and not able to update. Any ideas?

Wondering if my computer is ok for CS5 Master collection

This is my computer info. (whitch I don't know what everything means) I was wondering if I perched Adobe Creative Suite CS5 Master Collection, would it run properly on this Computer & if not!! what else would I have to add to this computer to run the CS5 M. C?
I have been using from 6.0 to CS3 PhotoShop, Preimere Pro, & Encore, for a few years now, & I'd like to get into AF, I don't know much about computers, I just know how to use the three Adobe programs that I have been using.
I have been watching a lot of tutorials of CS5 & they look awesome!!!
So if you could let me know What I need to do to my computer so I could run all the CS5 M.C. programs
I will take it to my Computer guy & let him add to this computer, But I don't think he knows about all the video stuff, so I would have to let him know what I want & need.

I have the CS5 Master Collection for Windows, but want to convert my license to a Mac.

I have the CS5 Master Collection for Windows, but want to convert my license to a Mac. I already have the CS5 Suite installed on the Mac. What do I need to do from here? I tried reading up a little bit on this and saw some people said in order to do this you would also need to upgrade your product version. Please tell me this is not the case, as that would be the dumbest and most frustrating customer service move ever to already faithful Adobe purchasers...
Thanks for any help you can give!

Unfortunately, upgrading to CS6 or joining the Cloud are your only options.
Platform swapping (Win to Mac and vIce versa) is only available to CS6 owners.
