How do I install CS2?

I was running CS2 with no problems until I got photoshop elements 8.0. It gave me an error every thime I tried to open it so I deleted it. Now I tried to reinstall it and when I click on install the program just closes down. What do I need to do to get this to reinstall?

Nate_Miller I would recommend trying the steps listed in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/824/cpsid_82414.html. It is likely it is not an issue with installation but something else which might be causing the program to crash upon launch.

How do I install CS2 from discs so I can update to CS3

I have a mac pro, I have CS2 discs and have the serial numbers for an update to CS3 however I cannot install CS2 on my mac pro.
I am also frustrated that no matter what I do I cannot get in contact with Adobe.

CS2 will not install on modern Intel-based Macs. It is written for PowerPC based Macs only.
That being said, you don't need to install CS2 in order to install your CS3 upgrade.
Just install CS3, enter your CS3 upgrade serial number then enter a valid CS2 serial number.
If your CS2 serial number is not accepted, try using the one published by Adobe at this link

How can I install CS2 on my new Mac?

I gave my ibook to a woman headed for an orphanage in Africa. Before I gave it to her, I asked the tech guy to take off all applications, which he did. I now want to intall CS2 on my new comptuer, a 10.5.7 laptop. I put in the first disk and clicked install. All went well. The blue line went along to the end of C1, which I took to mean that the first disk as installed. Then I was directed to insert the second disk, which I did. It would not install. I had only the options to resume or quit. When I hit resume, I was only taken back to the window that offered me the options of resume of quit. Finally I hit quit. I tried putting in the second disk again. But I cannot proceed with the installation.
Is there something I can do to move forward? I'm missing the opportunity to work on my graphics in Photoshop.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks,
Audrey

Thank you, Bob. It 's not the answer I wanted, but given what happens when I try to install, it's likely the correct one.
PS This was a Mac version purchased in a Mac outlet.

How to Install CS2 Downloaded Upgrade on New Win7 Machine

Hi, I have a purchased and downloaded version of CS2 I want to install on my new Win7 computer. However I do not see an installer in the package.
How do I install this?

There is no setup.exe.
In the original downloaded upgrade to CS2 from CS1, there are live applications that can be launched. However, I'm afraid at this point I may have some value in the registry that will not allow me to continue. I have no idea why.
Like I said before, when I try to launch CS2, I get the error that my "user name, organization or serial number is invalid. The application cannot continue and must exit." I am not given an opportunity to input this information.
I have even installed this as recently as last year on a laptop from the same media with no problems, however I must have done something differently this time and it isn't working.
I'm afraid at this point I am either going to have to start from scratch and re-install Windows, or fork out for the upgrade to CS5, which I don't really need.
That is unless I can locate whatever registry file it is that needs to be modified... I am not trying to do anything nefarious, only trying to use the software I bought and paid for.

How to install CS2 when already have CS PS4, 5, LR2 & Reader 9?

Feb 28, 2010- I had CS2 Premium on my old laptop. I'd updated to PS 3 and then to PS 4 (standard). Then my LT crashed. I now have a desktop: Quad processer, 64-bit, 8 GB ram, two hard drives (C: 1 TB and D: 2 TB).
I've installed PS 4 & 5, Reader 9 and Lightroom 2, and now find I need InDesign for a newsletter.
How can I install all of the CS2 Premium files (except PS) without damaging my current Adobe program files? CS 2 came on four discs, with two "Extras", so I can't tell which ones have which program.
Thanks in advance.

From: <[email protected]> | Adobe STRONGLY recommends that you DO NOT not have Acrobat and Reader installed on the | same system. If you have just Acrobat installed, it will perform all the functions | Reader does and much more. Therefore, you should uninstall Reader, install Acrobat, and | DO NOT install Reader again. | Ken F. Not to mention that nobody should be using Adobe Reader v7.x do to all the vulnerabilities in it that are *actively* being exploited ! -- Dave

How do I install Photoshop CS2 on a new Mac desktop ?

I have not used my Photoshop CS2 for a few years; I used to have it on my PC and It loaded and worked fine- But I had a lot of trouble between PC and viruses, and so now, I have chosen an Apple Mac desktop. I have had it for about a week now. The prolem however is that the programme does not seam to load , do I need to go back to using a PC ? Or is there a way that I can install CS2 on my new Mac? When I put the disc in the Drive the CS2Disk appears; when I double click on it ; the window showing the folders opens; and that is where I am stuck. ps the software is original. I am A pensioner and a Fine artist can you help me. also the photoshop logo does not appear on the desktop.

No way.
a) PC software doesn't run on Macs.
b) that being the case, you would have to switch paltforms but
c) Adobe only offers it for current versions (Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap)
d) even if it were possible, CS2 doesn't run on any modern Mac because Apple have long removed PPC code as used by that version
This is not going anywhere for a number of reasons as you see. You will have to come up with something else like getting a current version of PS Elements, signing up for Creative Cloud or using free software like GIMP, if you realyl don't want to spend any money.

How can I re-install CS2 upgrade on a new hard drive without serial no. of previous Photoshop 5?

A new hard drive has been installed on my G4 Mac with OS10.4. I am trying to re-install CS2 Premium on the new hard drive but I no longer have the serial number of my previous Photoshop 5. I need to enter this as the CS2 was an upgrade. I have spoken to Adobe technical support but they no longer support CS2 so are not able to help. They recommended that I try the Adbe Forum. All my Adobe products have been bought legitimately. I know people manage to use pirated Adobe software so there must be some way for me to activate a legally bought product.

Michael
Thank you for your email and suggestion.
I have tried that and the only product listed is my CS5 Design Premium (which was an upgrade), none of my previous Adobe products are listed.
I am now looking to see if I can buy an old version of Photoshop that will work on a Power PC G4 Mac with OS 10.4.
I only need Photoshop on that Mac to paint from, not the rest of the Suite.
It is infuriating that I already have a legitimately bought Adobe product (as all mine have been) but I am unable to use it.
Regards
Trevor

NEW TO THE FORUM NEED HELP INSTALLING CS2

I just bought an older version of CS2 for Mac from the original owner and when I tried to install it the software is no longer supported by my Mac. Can I install CS2 on a new Mac? And if so how, I have all the cds and the registration number. The original owner no longer has a Mac and can not use it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can only run CS2 on Macs running OSX 10.6 or earlier. It won't work on newer Macs using Lion or Mountain Lion (OS 10.7 and 10.8).

How do I install SC2 on my Mac without authorization code?

I purchased a full version SC2 for my Mac, but as I understand it Adobe no longer supports this product so how can I install it without the authorization code?

Acquire the installation files and serial number from the page linked below:

Installing CS2 on Macbook Pro

I just bought a new Macbook Pro running (OSX 10.8.3) and trying to install CS2, but having problems. I spoke with Adobe support who directed me to a download site (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads) where I downloaded the installer files (5 total plus PDF). When I go to install I get an error message "You can’t open the application “Adobe Installer” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
What gives? I kind of get it that Adobe doesn't support older software, but if I had known that buying new computer would render my CS2 obsolete, I wouldn't have done it. I was fine with CS2 and didn't need to upgrade beacuse I had all the functionality I needed. I paid a lot for it at the time and don't want to drop another $1K+ to get back to what I needed to do before.
Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this? Am I really out of luck?

You are out of luck I'm afraid. CS2 was designed to run on a PowerPC not an Intel Mac. Apple did license some software called "Rosetta" which enabled PowerPC software to run on earlier versions of the Intel OSX but it hasn't been supported since OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) so OSX 10.7 (Lion) and OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) can't run CS2. CS3 is the earliest version that will work on your Macbook.

Installing CS2 Premium

I cloned my HD to an SSD, but upon using the SSD in the computer, Windows CS2 Premium wanted activation again, and Adobe's activation system had some problem. I was then instructed to download a new CS2 Premium at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads; however, install instructions and site contents do not match. So, how do I install the Windows CS2 premium at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads when the files stated in the install pdf do not match the files at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads?

to install Windows CS2 from the downloads obtained at
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads, install CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe first; it will ask you where to install. I installed it at
C:\CreativeSuiteCS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0, but the default is
C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\ ; however, “Creative Suite CS2” can be replaced with any path part, and, as i stated, I replaced it with CreativeSuiteCS2. I could also have used Program Files\Adobe to replace Creative Suite CS2. once the path for CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe is chosen, use the same path, i will call it PathCS2, when installing CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe . the install for CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe will request loading the 2nd and 3rd CDs. when it does that, install CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe respectively to PathCS2 and the installation will continue automatically after clicking the OK-Button on the request-to-load-CD box.
CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe , CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2.exe, and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3.exe only install Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, the others (CS_2.0_WWE_Extras_1.exe , AcrobatPro7Install.exe, GoLiveCS2Install.exe, and InCopyCS2Install.exe) must be installed individually after downloading them from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads. i installed CS_2.0_WWE_Extras_1.exe in C:\CreativeSuiteCS2 . once these installations are completed, CS_2.0_WWE_Extras_2, Acrobat Distiller 7.0, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Designer 7.0, Adobe GoLive CS2, Adobe Help Center, Adobe Illustrator CS2, Adobe ImageReady CS2, Adobe InCopy CS2, Adobe InDesign CS2, and Adobe Photoshop CS2 will be installed.

My old hard drive crashed. How do you reload CS2 on new hard drive and get it activated?

My old hard drive crashed. How do you reload CS2 on new hard drive and get it activated?

You'll need to get onto Support and explain, and if you have not made a habbit of asking, they'll reset your activations limit back to zero. Or if you have only ever installed it once, you'll still have an activation to use.

How do I install multiple languages for Photoshop Elements 12

How do I install 2 languages on Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 so that my father can use it in Spanish and if he needs help, I cans switch it to English? Windows version.

In photoshop cs2 record the spell check action:
1. Create a new document and type a word you know is misspelled
2. Go to Window>Actions
3. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Set button
4. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Action button
5. Press Record, go to Edit>Check Spelling, press Done on the spell check dialog and click on the Stop Recording button at the bottom of the actions palette
6. Save your action set to somewhere like your desktop using the Save Actions from the actions palette fly-out menu.
In the photoshop elements 12 editor in the Expert mode
1. Go to window>Actions and load the spell check action from the fly-out menu on the actions panel
2. Click on the name of the action (not the name of the action set) and press Play to play the action.
The check spelling action should work in pse 12 just as check spelling does in photoshop cs2

Installing CS2 as a download

I am installing CS2 as downloaded files, at the end of the first file it asks for CD2. Even though all three downloaded files are in the same folder it is not seeing the next file. My only options are ok or quit, ok only asks again for the cd.
Has anyone any ideas how to proceed other than burning the files to disc?

SteveV this question has been discussed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856. In specific:
Extraction instructions
If you are receiving a message to insert disc two please see the following extraction instructions:
In the English version of the software the file CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2 extracts to C:\Creative Suite\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\. CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1 and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3 both extract to C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\.
Please copy the contents of the C:\Creative Suite\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\ folder to the C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\ folder and you will no longer be prompted to insert disc two.
