How to troubleshoot "Exit Code: 6" error when installing CS5 (Mac)

So hey. It's been a long, long couple of days trying to figure out this error, and even longer (and more frustrating) trying to actually find someone from Adobe who can actually give me customer support. You think they'd have a bit more streamlined approach when taking care of their customers, but I guess that's why I am here, so lets find out
Basically, I'm trying to re-install my CS5 mAster Collection I got a few years back onto my MacBook Pro. I got it about 3-4 years ago from my college as a "teachers an student licensing," and it worked great.Amazing. Hallelujah.
Now fast forward to about 4 months ago; my Mac's Logic Board crashes. I spend a lot of time and money recovering data via a 3rd party data company, and FINALLY get my mac fixed with all files intact.
Problem is, all of my CS5 programs are gone, although i still have all the files I created with them. So I go to reinstall my Cs5; I still have all the disks (in mint condition) and my serial-code. I insert Application Disc 1 and enter my serial code, the installation gets to the point where it asks for Application Disc 2. I insert disc 2, and after awhile my Mac spits the Disc out and the Adobe Installation Manager says the installation was complete, but with errors, and only 2 of all the CVS5 programs were installed. When I checked the error log on the installation manager, it stated "Exit Code: 6"
I have looked up this code many time, but i just can't understand how to trouble shoot it. I'm not a programmer or a computer wiz, so some of the multiple multi-step process Adobe suggests for troubleshooting are beyond my ability or understanding. ALL I NEED IS SOME HELP; clarifying steps to trouble shoot this, understanding error code:6, advice on how to fix it, even a way for me to get in contact with and ACUTAL person from Adobe Customer Serivice.
Please, I am a Graphic Arts Major in college, and I can't afford to have this continue to be an issue. HELP ME.

Did you remove the bits of the failed install before going on? Try creating a new admin account for the install. If that doesn't work, try doing a fresh download from Adobe's site. Even if you bought the boxed version you can install the trial and enter your serial number.

Error when installing CS5...

Hello. When I was installing CS5 Master Collection, the power supply suddenly stopped. So when I re-install again after power supply back, then it had error showed "Your installation encountered errors. Please try restarting your system and installing again". Then I have un-installed everything about CS5 and rebooted. Then installed again. but still failed. How can I solve it? Thanks...

When you say that you've un-installed everything related to CS5 . . . did that include the registry? I suspect not. You will probably need to contact Adobe support.

Code 41 Error when installing my HID keyboard driver with my HID mouse driver

I am developing a HID keyboard driver and a HID mouse driver based on HIDUSBFX2 sample code.
So I added some lines as below into both keyboard driver inf file and mouse driver inf file.

I installed my HID mouse driver first successfully.
And then I tried to install my HID keyboard driver. But the installation was failed with error code 41.
Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)
When I checked mshidkmdf service registry, I can find that Owners value is "oem6.inf, oem5.inf"
oem6.inf - keyboard driver inf file, oem5.inf - mouse driver inf file
And when I checked the log with traceview, keyboard driver was not able to receive any IRP from HID class.
On the other hand, mouse driver received the IRP and reinstalled.
* If I uninstall the mouse driver and then install it again, the driver is installed successfully. I mean that this issue was found when first installation.
Please help me~

if you are filtering below the hid miniport, why do you have separate keyboard and mouse infs? For a filter below the miniport just use one inf and the filter will see both the keyboard and mouse requests (assuming you report a keyboard and mouse TLCs
in the hid descriptor)

How do i fix the recovery error when installing mavericks?

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro running 10.8.5 (tons of space on it) and in trying to install Mavericks, I keep getting an error message about not being unable to create a recovery partition. Anyone know how to fix this (preferrably, without buying equipment)?

I ended up calling Apple Support because this was a weird issue that evidently, even our top helpers couldn't figure out. Here's what I had to do:
First... settle in, it's a lonnnnnnnng process with periodic moments of activity, but it's worth it in the end.
Step 1:
Back up to TimeMachine on an external hard drive & set aside (this can take a very long time--sometimes up to 5 hours, but for me it only took about an 1 1/2 hrs.).
Shut down the computer.
Step 2:
Press Command-R and hold it down while starting up the computer. You will see a spinning globe and at some point you will be asked to select your internet connection. Do so.
Step 3:
A window will pop up with a selection including: Restore OS X using external source like TimeMachine, Install a new version of OS X, Disc Utility...
Select the Disc Utility
Go to the tab that says ERASE. I know, I know.... it's scary, but as long as your back up was successful (and you can make 2 to be safe), you'll be fine.
Select the Drive that says "Macintosh HD" and erase it. All of your documents, photos, music, settings, apps, etc. are saved to your back up so don't panic. This step only takes about 10 seconds.
Quit Disc Utility and it will bring you back to the initial window.
Step 4:
NOW select "Install New Version of OS X" (about an hour)
Once installed, go through the set up process like you just bought it new.
Step 5:
Go to the App Store and NOW download (about an hour) and install (another hour+) the upgrade to Mavericks.
Step 6:
Go to Applications/Utilities/Migration Assistant and follow the steps for restoring a back up from TimeMachine (another hour). This does not do anything to your new OS, it only restores all your documents, photos, music, settings, apps, etc...
Finally, you will find that many apps like Pages, iPhoto, Numbers (a fair number of applications) will need to be updated. Just update them from the App Store and be patient.
Personal Experience: I didn't lose any apps or documents. The only thing I had to re-do was re-connect to DropBox (if you have DropBox).
If you are at all concerned about the process, I highly recommend calling Apple Support and having them hold your hand. It just makes you feel better (sure made me feel better).

Error when installing CS5 trial

I got an error in the end of the instalattion of Flash CS5 yesterday, but it seems to work fine when I open Flash CS5. Is there some kind of "repair" I can run to be sure, or do I have to delete the whole thing and instal it again?

Hi, I don't recall an exact message. It just told me that it wasn't installed corectly and that I should try to restart my computer, it didn't tell me what the problem was.
But it seems to work, I just need the program for something very important on monday, so I just wanted to know if there was an easy way to find out what the problem was / if there was any. I mean rather find out now than monday right

"Download Error" when installing on Mac using Parallels 9

I have just taken delivery of a new Macbook pro. At work our creative cloud subscription is for windows so I purchased Parallels 9 to allow me to run windows 8 and the adobe suite on the Mac.
Whenever i try to install the apps I get the message "Download Error"
Not sure what to do

Hi James,
This error comes if you do not have the updated version of Creative cloud app, go to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and download the latest version.
Restart the computer and try downloading, if that doesn't work then follow the steps given in the following article.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launchin g-cc.html
If that doesn't fix then check this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5469534 which has other options too.
Thanks!

Hi,
Make sure the script is set to be executable (chmod a+rx script.sh) and that /usr/bin/ksh exists and is executable.
If it still doesn't work post the new error message and the output of "ls -l script.sh" and also your exact Oracle version. Also try running the shell script directly at the command line (e.g. ./script.sh).
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Command line installation - exit code 32 error

We are installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0 via command line installation in our network. When the installation is completed the clients reboot and our software-delivery-server quits with an error ("Exit code 32 indicates possible error"). To install the Adobe Updates we have to renew the complete installation.
I think the installation routine does not send an "installation complete" message to the server, but that is just an idea. The exit code 32 error means nothing to me. Does anyone have an idea what I can do ?
We are using a W2003 server, CA Unicenter Software Delivery Software and WinXP/SP2 as clients.
