CS5 Master Collection trial installs without Acrobat on 64-bit?

Hi guys,
This is a bit weird but I installed Creative Suite 5 Master Collection (trial) the other day on my PC (newly re-installed with Windows 7 64-bit) and for some reason there is no trace of Acrobat!
I Googled this yeaterday and found a few other people with the same problem (but cannot seem to find them today). Any ideas why this might be the case?
Regards,
b_i

Before I invested in CS5 I too downloaded the trial on Mac and on PC platforms. I think I remember that part of the stipulation of the trial software was that not all applications will be included and/or fully functional, Acrobat being one of them since you can probably download a trial of Acrobat separately and since Adobe Reader is free. Try to download it separately. Acrobat is the same version 9 that it has been since CS4 which might also be a reason it is not included in the download of the CS5 trial software.

CS5 Master Collection Mac - Where's Acrobat Pro

I downloaded the CS5 Master Collection trial for the Mac, which doesn't have Acrobat Pro in the Trial.
I purchased the license, but Acrobat Pro is still nowhere to be found.
Do I have to download it separately and enter the code again?
(Are there any other MIA programs that I need to be aware of?)
Thx

Acrobat Pro is a separate download.

Error message occurs during CS5 Master Collection Trial Install.

I downloaded the trial version of CS5 Master Collection from the Adobe site. Everything works until after I enter my password to start installation an error message comes up saying:
The Setup encountered and error(-1) during install. Please restart the machine and try again.
I've done that and it still shows the same message! What do I do?

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/

CS5 Master Collection trial download vs packaged version

Hello all,
I was wondering if there are any differences from downloading the trial version of cs5 master collection vs getting the adobe cs5 physical package? excluding manuals and media.
Specifically are you getting all the software in both options?
thanks

Oh the trials page Adobe has this in fine print:
*The trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro (Windows only) is available separately for download or with your trial DVD set. A trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac OS is currently not available. However, the full version of Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac OS is included in the full version of Master Collection available for purchase. Encore CS5 is not available as a trial. Encore CS5 will be installed as part of the trial for Creative Suite 5 Master Collection but will not be available for use until you purchase. The trial versions of After Effects CS5, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and Soundbooth CS5 do not include some features that depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of this product.

CS4 Master Collection trial installation blocks CD installation

Hi!
I'm need someone to help me. Here is a description of what happened, when I installed the Creative Suite (CS4) trial and tried to install the full version:
1) I installed the trial version of CS4 Master Collection from a CD because I didn't need the whole version (or so I thought at that point, I was stupid as seen later).
2) The installation screen told me I was able to insert the activation key later if I wanted. My impression was that I can do the installation and then upgrade to the full version if I wish.
3) I run through the installation smoothly. No errors occurred during the installation.
4) I could use the trial for 30 days after which the version expired.
5) Then I tried to upgrade to the full version using the CD activation key. Unfortunately, the key didn't work but rather showed a red cross and an error message popped up saying the activation key was "not valid".
6) My friend told me I should remove the trial version and then reinstall from the CD. However, the same problem also occurred in some other computers, so I believe that's not the only cause of the problem.
7) After spending some time on internet, I found the following blog dealing with the topic:
http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2009/02/problems-removing-and-installing-adobe-cs4/
I read some of the messages posted in the blog. I started searching for the cleaning tool mentioned in the blog, and finally found the tool from Adobe web:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
I would really appreciate if someone with similar experience would tell, whether this tool really works in the latest versions of Windows (Vista, 7 & 8, I have 7).
I would also appreciate any assistance on the topic.
I already tested removing the "cache"-file from /C:/Program FIles/Common FIles/Adobe/Adobe PMC/cache/.. My effort had no effect.
If I really need to install my system again, will I lose all the files on the computer I'm using? I don't want to believe that. Probably I can store some of the most important files on an USB-memory and still be able to use the Suite when it's installed and the files returned to my computer? I surely need to backup the system on my PC and not the others that were connected to it (any additional backup would be a catastrophe )?
I'm sorry for all the stupid questions & stuff, but I'm trying to get my message as clear as possible.
CS4 is an expensive software, so I really need to get it work. Installing the Suite from a CD should be possible because anyone may have a trial on his PC before buying the full version on CD. That's the purpose of the trial version, I see.
Thank you for any help!

Thank you for a fast reply!
The problem is stated in the title of my previous message: I cannot install the full version because I installed the trial.
Formatted as a question: "How can I get the CD installed with the original serial number?"
You wrote: "And where did you actually buy your CS4 license? There's a lot of fakes out there..."
>The license belongs to my employee. I'm totally sure that the version I'm trying to install is not a fake.
"Other than that you could simply have used a wrong region installer for your trial and the serial number ranges are not compatible"
>Could you clarify that more. The Suite has worked perfectly before I installed the trial. The installer only asked me to accept the license agreement and to choose between the trial and the full install. I was not asked anything else.
"You lose yourself in lengthy descriptions without actualyl ever telling what the problem really is, what the exact text of the warnings/ error messages is, what exact system you are on and so on"
>I admit my "question" was lenghty and somewhat messy. Here are some more details:
Country: Finland
Operating system: Windows 7 (as mentioned earlier)
Computer: Fujitsu (all requirements of the Suite are fulfilled, as the trial worked well)
Exact error message: "The serial number you entered is not valid. Click OK to retry entering the serial number."
Situation: I installed the trial, waited 30 days, and the trial expired. After that I tried to insert the disk serial number.
Possible solutions: Removing the trial and installing from beginning.
Internet access: Was ON during the installation.
The program has installed correctly earlier. Even with the serial number put in the back side of the disk.
Right now I don't have the information of the place where the Suite was bought (probably the origin is not in Finland). I can find it out on Monday. Possibly it was bought used that would make tracking a bit difficult.
Please ask if anything is still unclear. I know more on Monday, so if you can specify what information is essential by then, I would appreciate, and come on Monday with the asked pieces of information.
Hope this message clarified something.

CS5 Master Collection error: Installer failed to initialize, help?

When I first opened the CS5 installer, it worked perfectly, except my computer crash halfway through the installation. Now whenever I try to install an application, when I open the Adobe Installer, once it finishes Initializing the installer, I immediately get the "Installer failed to initialize" message. How do I fix this?

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and clean out the temporary files created during install in your temp directory. Additioanlly, check your task manager and terminate any rampant instances of setup.exe and msiexec.exe that may stil lbe running.

CS5 master collection trial with serial number!

So i bought CS5 MC and i have the download one. Its not working right. So i was wondering....if i downloaded the trial and just put in the serial code will i still get everything or will i just get the trial version with stuff missing?
Thanks

It's not working right is hardly giving us anything to go on.
What I can tell you is that the demo is fully functional and adding the serial number to license it won't fix anything that's broken.

Loading CS5 Master Collection onto new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive

I have a complete, legitimate, registered version of CS5 Master Collection. I also have a new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive. I have lost the disk, but have the box and confirmation email when I registered the product, with the key code. This product cost alot of money and I really need to get it onto my new machine. Can I do this without having the additional cost of a new DVD drive? I already paid for and own the software with keys so it's not like I'm trying to bend anything or do it for free. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

Cannot install CS5 Master Collection in Windows 8 x64 Pro

Hi
I have recently performed a clean install of Windows 8 on my computer through the MSDNAA. However when I try to install CS5 Master Collection, the installer will not launch. I have tried a number of solutions for example running the setup in compatibility mode and running it as an administrator with no success. I would appreciate your help.

How do I get a copy of Acrobat with my CS5 Master Collection???

I activated my Adobe CS5 Master Collection (running on Snow Leopard) with a serial number purchased from CDW and everything went smoothly, but after a few days of using the core products I typically use I noticed Acrobat was not included in the installed software.
Now, Adobe lists Acrobat PRO as an included product in the Master Collection and rightfully so since it contans just about every product they make.
When I emailed Adobe about this but the only response I got was some pre-formatted auto-response probably sent to me from the help desk in India or something. The auto-response said absolutely nothing about how to obtain a copy for the Mac, and just had a link taking me to the Acrobat home page, which basically says there is no trial version of Acrobat for Mac available for download.
I gave up on it since I do not use Acrobat very much but now I am in a situation where I do need to have Acrobat Pro to finish a job and I cannot figure out how to get a copy installed with the Master Collection.
There was no disclaimer indicating that you would not be able to get a copy of Acrobat when I purchased the downloadable version vs. buying a boxed DVD set, so I am expecting there must be a way.
Adobe's help has been pretty much useless when I emailed them, and I cannot find anyone with the same problem on Google or in the Adobe forums, so is there someone out there who can give me the answer or help me?
If I have to purchase a seperate copy of Acrobat so be it, but since it is supposed to be included with the Master Suite that would be kind of stupid if I have to purchase a copy of Acrobat seperately.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!!!

This is just getting beyond ridiculous...
AND I can see from several forum threads I am not alone in this issue.
Adobe, you absolutely SUCK for making it so difficult to install this software. I am normally a fan of Adobe products, but now that you guys have bought out all your competiton you are getting lazy and stupid.
This is the most ridiculous crap I've ever seen when trying to install a product I PURCHASED!!!!!!!
So, after over another week (I have been trying to find a way to install Acrobat with my purchased copy of the Master Suite for MONTHS)... My IT guy finally gets me the installer DMG for Acrobat and now I cannot install it with my master collection because the serial numbers are not the same?
I never got a god damn serial number for Acrobat Pro when purchasing the master collection.
Asking Adobe for help is totally worthless and not even worth taking the time to do so because all they give you is some BS pre-recorded response that doesn't help you with JACK...
It has been a long time since I've had a problem installing a piece of software I PURCHASED.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU SERIOUSLY SUCK ADOBE ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Trouble downloading CS5.5 Master collection Trial

I've tried to download CS5.5 Master collection trial 3 times without success. The entire download appears to finish (blue bar goes all the way across), however it gets stuck there and the time remains at "less than 1 minute." Also, strangely...If you hover your mouse on the left side of the download bar about a .5 inch under the bar you can track the process of the download in real-time. You are able to see estimated time left as well as download speed. Well, when I do this rightttt now...it indicates that I am at 105.66% at a download speed of 788kb/s. Btw, I'm on a 1GB LAN line too...no clue why the slow speed? I've tried to download on Internet explorer and now on Google Chrome. No Clue? Please help!
Thanks

Did you modify the download location? I would recommend removing the Adobe Download Manager, refreshing the Master Collection download page, and then initiate the download again. This time choosing the default options for save location.
