Having trouble installing PS CS5 Extended in Windows 8.1

Greetings:
I installed this product previously on another computer that ran Windows 7.  I had issues at the time and was able to resolve them, one of which was a bad serial number.  I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8.1 and am unable to install this product.  Here is what I did:
- Disabled Virus program and shut down all other programs
- Started the installation from a CD
- Went through the normal process, serial number, log in info, etc.
- I selected only the CS5 64 bit version and the region (US),
- After about 20 seconds, a pop up appeared and it asked me to install the installation disc.  I did so and was not able to move the installation process forward.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Gary

Hello Mylenium:
I did as you suggested and it worked much better.  Very smooth process.
Thank you for your suggestion.
I do have another problem, this time with the serial number and I think I
may have to call Adobe on this one.
I purchased this license from someone on eBay.  He assured me the license
number was good.  The CD came in a case with the original serial number
printed on the cover.  When I installed CS5 on my other computer, I was
having similar troubles and spoke to one of the support people.  He gave me
another license number that worked.  I have since uninstalled CS5 and did
not deactivate the license.  Perhaps that is the problem.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you again for your help.
Best Regards,
Gary Altoonian

  • I'm having trouble installing iCloud 4 on a window 8.1 laptop

    I have been successfully using iCloud 3 on my Windows 8.1 laptop. When I try to install iCloud version 4 it stops due to errors. Is anyone else having this issue?

    I am also having the same problem on a Windows 8.1 desktop computer.
    When I tried to install iCloud for Windows version 4.0 using the Apple Software Update tool, I got the error message "Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
    When I tried the manual install by running iCloud64.msi from the downloads folder, the install failed with a different error:
    "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package.  A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    Next, I ran iCloud64.msi with administrator privileges from the command line with the error logging option:  iCloud64.msi /le errs.txt
    This is the contents of the resulting error log file:
    === Logging started: 9/21/2014  9:04:17 ===
    Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.  Action RuniCloudUpgrade, location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\, command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\iCloud.exe /upgrade
    === Logging stopped: 9/21/2014  9:04:34 ===
    I tried running the command iCloud.exe /upgrade, as suggested in the error log, but this command did not seem to have any effect.  Another iCloud install attempt failed with the same errors.
    I have iTunes version 11.4.0.18 on my computer. Previously, I had been using iCloud control Panel version 3.1 on my computer without problems.

  • Having trouble installing Acrobat X trial on windows

    I can't install  the trial version of Adobe Acrobat X Professional for Windows. I've downloaded the product but I'm getting a message box response stating Adobe Reader could not open "Hairston Acrobat Download" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.

    What is this Hairston Acrobat Download which you are trying to use?  If you are looking for the trial of Acrobat X Professional you can locate it at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en.  Also as part of the install process your copy of Adobe Reader will be removed.

  • HT1926 I am having trouble installing 64-bit iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit.

    Initially the program installed except for the Apple Mobile Device service and SOftware Updater service. Tried a complete uninstall and reinstall. Now, it aborts in mid-install. Seems to be related to permisions. Suggestions?

    Run Windows or find a Mac version of the software or buy a Windows computer.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Having trouble installing CS5.5 on lion 10.7.3?

    Are you having trouble installing CS5.5 on your mac (os lion 10.7.3)? Are you tired of receiving error reports (i recieved "exit code: 24" numerous times)?  there is an easy way without hacking your mac into bits. start your comouter in security mode (hold down the shift key while your mac boots). Pop the CS5.5 Application 1 dvd into the drive and follow the instructions. no problems. no exit codes. no hassel. no swearwords. just an installation that works. why this is necessary is a mystery to me. but it works. after installing, don't forget to restart your mac in order to exit of security modus and return to normality;)
    i hope this helps a few lost souls like me who have wasted hours of their time over the past couple of days. correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't updates suppose to make things work better?

    Hi..
    You can disable the Lion resume feature.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:   Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    As for Facebook, select "Keep me logged in" ..   even if the page refreshes, you should stay logged in.
    Click on the image once to enlarge.
    For help to avoid Safari from auto refreshing pages, go to   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    For Lion v10.7x:  To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari.

    hi,
    If you have 7zip you can extract all the files from the fb_XXXX.exe, then run the installer directly. Odds on you have a corrupt fb file as all the adobe installers play nicely with windows 7.

  • Having trouble installing Adobe Reader 8, know it's outdated, job requires it. System is Windows 7

    having trouble installing Adobe Reader 8, know it's outdated, job requires it. System is Windows 7 Home Premium. Thank you.

    You may see if there are solutions in this old thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3063830
    Although that combination isn't supported, many people have made it work.
    Why would a job require Reader 8? All older files are compatible with newer versions. Or at least they should be.

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can  I install the same license copy on mac ?

    Unfortunately, no. the CS programs are platform specific. You have three options. Upgrade to CS6 and request a platform swap, in which case you will give up the Windows serial number. Second, you could buy a second serial number for Mac outright. Third, you can buy the subscription to Photoshop CC, which can be used on both Windows and Macintosh..
