CS5 Trail asks for Disc

I'm having trouble finding other threads on this. Sorry if already discussed.
I run Windows7 and have the full PhotoshopCS4 installed as well as the PhotoshopCS5 trail.
I also have Dreamweaver CS4 installed.
Before I buy programs, I always test them via trails/demos and compare them next to the old/last version.
I'm trying to do this with Dreamweaver CS5 but it keeps asking for a Disc. Placing the CS4 dics in does no good.
Can anyone help me with this? I just want to test the program, but installing the trail on a new/different system ends in the exact same result.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it still happened.
I was extracting the files to a Flash Drive to save space and that's what caused the issue. Extracting to the PC's main drive fixed the error.
Thanks.

You are right, Adobe does not support CS5 because it is no longer sold.
Simply download the trial version of CS5 from this Adobe web site and input your serial number.

Asking for disc 2 on Tiger install

Hi,
I have a 1.8mhz G5 with 10.3.9 and tried upgrading to Tiger. Bought the disk from apple store. upgrade/install seemed to go fine. restarted but opened with installer again asking for disc 2. there was only 1 disc. I don't understand. I tried inserting my iLife 06 disk. didn't work. the screen said I wanted to install things that required disc 2. I opted for an Easy Install upgrade. HELP! My computer is stuck in this limbo. I can't even quit Installer.
Thanks,
Don Burton

Is the disk marked CD or DVD on it?
Is it a black disk label with gray and white X logo on it?

Panther Installation Never Asks for Disc 2

I'm installing panther on a new hard drive for my iMac Rev A. The new one is 10gb seagate. panther worked fine with my old 4gb quantum fireball. i partitioned it to 7.9gb (8gb doesnt work) and started the installation. it finished, rebooted, and went to the original installation screen - didnt prompt for disc 2 at all. I checked the startup discs and it showed Macintosh HD and it started up with the folder and the ?. Then I went to the installation to choose the drive and I figured out theres something already on it because its using 1.6gb already, but I cant boot to it. Im really getting p.o.'d.
help for the love of (religious high authority)!!!

Hi Flibber Jabber!
Are you using a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs?
Grey Model Specific, or upgrade discs will not work.

Photoshop CS4 Trial installation asking for disc again and again

I had to uninstall my Creative Suite CS3 because of licensing problems. Then I could not reinstall it on Vista Home Premium SP2 ("unsupported OS").
Now, as long as I am waiting for Adobe to respond to my case, I tried to install CS4 Trial versions of PS and DW, so I can go on working.
But:
Whether I install them from a HDD or from a CD/DVD, it always asks me to insert the disc again into the related drive. Of course it is already in - installation has to be aborted.
I am very hesitant to purchase the CS4 upgrade, since it seems that after their huge hassle with the CS3 suite they still haven't their product installation problems fixed.
Anybody had fixed this?
Thanks
Matt

Hi dec9 and the_wine_snob,
Have tried all these too, and went a bit further with copying the folder to the desktop, but it also ended with a fatal.
Since the origin of my trouble is the endless hassle with my CS3 Suite installation, I ordered a CS4 Premium Web Trial and see if that installs.
Don't want to risk paying for another uninstallable product.
Before I install that, I will:
- uninstall all Adobe products
- including all flash versions that might still be lingering around
- run the CS3 cleaner
- clean and defrag the drive
- brush my teeth
-... anything else?
Thanks
Matt

CS3 No Longer Installs - Asks for Disc

I have CS3 (Master Collection) installed on a Win 7 Home Premium machine. I didn't originally install Dreamweaver and am now trying to go back and do so. Setup runs like normal and asks me which components to add and which to reinstall. After verifying the adds/reinstalls it prompts me to inster Master Collection D1 into drive D:\ and won't continue.
I don't understand what has happened and I don't want to try uninstalling for fear that I won't be able to reinstall. I didn't have to do anything special to get it to install originally (didn't need to run as admin or use compatibility mode, for instance). This is the download version, bought from Adobe's store so I do not have a disc (and D: is my hard drive anyway). I even redownloaded the 3GB file from Adobe yesterday but that didn't help. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.
Brad

First of all, I appreciate the response.
This is a new laptop (in March, at least) and the only Adobe software I have installed is CS3 (download version from my hard drive) and Reader X, again from a download. I haven't installed anything from a CD/DVD so I don't know how or why it would have changed install paths (the D: drive IS where I installed CS3 from originally anyway). Even so, I don't have a disc and if I juggle drive letters around, what is the root that I should use for a virtual drive? The CS3 file extracts to an Adobe CS3 folder on the desktop (Adobe CS3 \ Master Collection \ Adobe CS3 \ ....). I don't know "where/what" the setup program is going to want to find as far as what contents should comprise the virtual disc. Any help with that info?
I hate to risk uninstalling everything only to find I can't get anything back without an OS reinstall, which I don't have time to do right now. For now, most of the suite is installed, I just need to add Dreamweaver (and, for the time being, I've installed DW8 from an earlier CS so I have a temp workaround).

PE10's odd behaviour in not asking for discs 2 and 3.

My computer complies with system requirements and I have a brand new 'unopened' PE10. The box has three discs. I installed disc1 and the serial number and I was not told to install the other two discs. The installation surprisingly closed down. There is a PE10 shortcut on the desktop and PE10 is in the Program Files. I can open PE10 with the desktop shortcut and everything seems to be there.
I felt uneasy so I uninstalled disc1 and reinstalled it, with the same results. I have used PE4 for many years so I am accustomed to Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have dozens of files in MY PICTURES that I would like to put into PE10 but I haven't done it in case something is not right.
Can someone explain why I was not told to install dics 2 and 3? Are they needed?

You only need disk 1. Disk two includes the trial of Premier Elements - the video editor and disk 3 is for Mac OS.

Premiere CS5 SN entered - asking for earlier product - earlier product SN is [removed] this is not accepted. Why?

My Premiere CS5 started asking for its serial number. I entered it and was then asked for a qualifying product SN. My earlier product is Premiere Pro - SN****-**** etc. This is not accepted. Can you tell me why?

Satellite L500 did not ask for Recovery Disc 2

Hello,
I have just formatted my laptop using Recovery Disc 1. On forums, it says after Disc 1, the menu will ask for Disc 2. But it never asked for Disc 2. Should I have inserted it right after it asked me to eject Disc 1?
I am writing this now on my newly set up Win 7. Everything seems fine but I wonder whether the lack of Disc 2 will cause any problem. Is there any way to boot my laptop also using the second disc?
Thanks!

The second disk will be created only if the space on the first disk would not be enough! So the amount of recovery disk depends on the size of the image file.
If your notebook works properly, I would not be afraid about the 2nd missing disk :)

Need Disk 2 for10.4.2 got stuck asking for disk 2

I purchased a used Imac G5 with 10.5 on it. I need 10.4 for a billing program I use. The Imac G5 install disk 1 came with the G5. I started the install and got 3/4 done, then it asks for disk 2. Bad news? No disk 2. The previous owner said he never used the disk and there is only the one I have.
Whenever I boot the computer, it turns on and asks for Disc 2. Is there any way to get in and take off the 10.4 update I did? That way I can go back to running 10.5 [I have no disk for 10.5 it was just loaded on the machine]. I can boot the computer using my external drive that has 10.4.11 on it. Any help is much appreciated.
I had to purchase this G5 because my Imac G4 15 flat panel was dealt a double power surge on Monday and died. Luckily Mac folks able to make a complete copy of the contents on the hard drive.
Thank you in advance, it has been quite a week.

You can call Apple Customer Relations 800-767-2775 and they will send you the install discs for a small fee.
Do call them and have the serial # handy. But someone a couple of weeks ago, reported that Apple said they didn't have any more. (It was for iMac PPC (2005 I think). So if you get some Post back.
One thing you can try with the one disk, is before the install starts, click on the custom button, and uncheck as much as possible. When it ask for #2, I think its looking for applications to install and maybe X11. Good luck

CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
Thanks for any and all help,
Mike Boom

The 404 means you have not followed the Very Important Instructions on the prodesigntools page before clicking the download links.
The 7 steps are crucial for setting the correct cookies on your hard drive so that the Adobe servers will grant you access to the download files when you click the links.
So:
Go back to http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Follow the Very Important Instructions (Step 0 to Step 6 = 7 Steps)
Then click the download links and they will work.

Installer asks for CS5.1 Disk but I puchased PS as a direct download.

So today I reinstalled Windows, same computer just different new identity, so nothing recognizes it. Installing all of my other programs I had no problem. Even Maya worked just by entering the serial and product keys, but Photoshop is asking for an instal disc. Obviously I don't have one if I bought and downloaded it straight from the Adobe site. Need a fix for this.

Well since I had reinstalled windows, I backed up a lot of files to my phone. (SD card on it) I came to Adobe.com and redownloaded PS CS5.1 from the site via, "My Orders > Alt Download > File 1+2" I did this the same way when I first installed it. I've got no problem entering the Serial Key, but once the installer reaches the instal part it requests the CS5.1 Disc. Like I said I don't have because I bought PS as a download.
And no Preran. I didn't use that link. I never downloaded a trial copy. I bought a full product from having nothing previously.

I have a new computer running os10.9. my old computer ran cs5.5(upgrade version). I am trying to get CS5.5onto my new computer. when i load cs5.5 towards the end of the install it asks for the cs5.5 serial number. i put that in and everything is accepted

I have a new computer running os10.9. my old computer ran cs5.5(upgrade version). I am trying to get CS5.5onto my new computer. when i load cs5.5 towards the end of the install it asks for the cs5.5 serial number. i put that in and everything is accepted but then it asks for a serial number for a full version of a product which men is design premium cs3 but it doesn't give me that product as a choice from the drop down menu. it only gives me adobe master collection cs3. why when i have purchased all these different upgrades can i now not use them and how can i sort this out. i need cs5.5 on my new computer.
