>I've got a big pot of turkey soup on the stove. I'll save you some. <g><br /><br /><homer>arrgglllllgghhh...</homer> :)<br /><br /><hr><br /><br />ok continuing the saga:<br /><br />closed firefox. hit retry. <br /><br />select "run as trial".<br /><br />accept the "uncopyable" license agreement. hint: some people actually read these things. it's kinda a nice gesture to the user to allow them to copy the license language so they can paste it into a program like word pad and change the font to something more readable the standard legal dept licensing's 2pt Beelzebub Semi-Bold. ...<br /><br />now the choice... do i choose "easy install" or "custom"? there's a freaking lot of components to install...<br /><br />I select "custom" but leave all options checked. just in case this gives me more control over things like file associations after the install. oddly enough, i can select and deselect anything on the long list INCLUDING photoshop cs4, EXCEPT for bridge cs4 (ok a lot of the sub components are un-de-selectable too). go figure...<br /><br />ok. go go gadget INSTALL! <br /><br />wait! did it ask me what drive? i don't think so...? it's going anyway. most likely to my c: drive. grr... i wanted to (meant to) select G. user error? probably. maybe...<br /><br />ok walk away for 10 minutes to save my blood pressure. come back and it's hung at about 75% done because now "Adobe AIR" app installer want access to 199.7.48.190 on the internet. WTF?!! ok, again.<br /><br />side note while install continues... i let the adobe installer (cs3) do it's thing weekly, so i should have all the latest components for stuff that existed prior to cs4 release. i wonder if this is going to roll any of them back? <br /><br />looks like it's heading for the home stretch. the progress bars are at about 90% (there's no actual percent reading, just bars going across the install window.)<br /><br />ok. cool. cs4 install complete. looks like everything installed good.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1RySssqZLtL4AJEwUkAa3Kg5r5AZW1"/><img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1RySssqZLtL4AJEwUkAa3Kg5r5AZW1_thumb.jpg" border="0"/></a><br /><br />now, let's take er for a spin... as a good friend mine say: "it's time to put your butt in the pudding!" (it's probably best not to ask WHY he says that... )
