Illustrator CS2 will not install

Hello-
I just got a new computer and went to install my copy of CS2. However, everything installs EXCEPT Illustrator. All of the other components work, but Illustrator does not install. When I go to reinstall, the installer recognizes that Illustrator is not installed and proposes installation of specific components (i.e. Ilustrator). I go through everything and once again, no Illustrator.
Anybody have any ideas?
It's the mac version and the new comp. is a MacBook Pro (newest version).

It will. You can't install CS2 after installing CS3 or 4. Doesn't work. Uninstall the CS4 and dump all files, esp shared libs. You may have to use the CS4 Clean Script to remove all the associated parts.

HELP CS2 will not install on my new MacBook - it's killing me!

Hi Guys
Okay I'm tearing my hair out here! This is carrying on from an earlier issue.
I connected my new MacBook to an iBook to transfer my stuff across, the thing is CS2 didn't transfer properly so on the advice of Adobe after trashing what I had transfered I tried to install it from scratch using the discs. Here's the thing it won't install. I put disk 1 in go through the licensing agreement, the serial number etc. get to the install bit, click install and nothing, nothing happens. Both Adobe and Apple seem at a loss to explain this.
Can anyone help I desparately need these programmes for work?
Thanks Jim!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

so you copied over documents and applications?
apps should always be installed, never copied.
CS2 puts files all over your system, not just in your applications folder. - it will be very difficult to manually delete everything associated with CS2.
if it were me, i would backup any important documents (on dvd or an external drive) and reformat the drive, re-install the os than install CS2 from the installer disk.

Photoshop CS2 will not install

FYI, I just confirmed with Adobe tech support that Apple's latest security update (or perhaps an older but recent updtae) causes the CS2 installer script to freeze the MacBookPro.
Only way to escape is with a power button forced shutdown and of course no CS2 installed.
Hey Apple, can we get this fixed this asap?

Huh, well I found out that my MacBook Pro showed up today on my doorstep, and I was all set to run home and install CS2.... now perhaps I won't be able to... i'll try the VersionCue thing and if that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to wait....
Apple has a tendancy to break things with their security updates. I also run the Sonos music mesh network at home with my Macs, and on a recent update from Apple, they (Apple) broke Windows file sharing (Sambda) on Intel Mac Minis.... which is exactly what i have as my music machine.. fortunately, they fixed it within about 2 weeks.
Will post later and tell you what kind of luck I had tonite.

CS2 will not install

I had problems with my Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 running 10.3.9, so I had to reinstall the system software. I tried to reinstall CS2 and after unistalling and deleting every adobe program on the computer, the install fails. I am able to go through the entire install procedure, then it asks me to activate, I do and everything says its successfull, but then when I go to lauch any of the programs. all are missing except for Acobat Pro 7 and Adobe Cue. Please help. I have upgraded versions on other computers, but I need to have CS2 working on the computer in order to work with other dated software that I have.

Illustrator CS4 will not install

Win 7 64 bit, Photoshop CS4 installed. Try to install Illustrator CS4 and runs into a problem updating Photoshop and stops the install.

Not exacly sure what is said. Just that is was not able to update Photosope and needed to stop the install.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have tried to update Photoshop CS4 and have had difficulty as it would never complete, just get 80% done and stop. Caused by:
Error: The specified module could not be found. C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
Workaround:
Actually, I copied all of the files, not including the Dictionaries directory,
VersionCue.dll
VersionCueSDK.dll
VersionCueUI.dll
ExtendScript.dll
that were not in the 4.0.1 directory.
Now, I ended up with these 5 files,
VersionCue.dll
VersionCueSDK.dll
VersionCueUI.dll
ExtendScript.dll
ScCore.dll
and 1 directory, Dictionaries.

Illustrator CS2 will not open (I do think it can be acrobat)

Illustrator, hangs at the startup screen when “reading fonts”.
I have read about the acrobat issue but I am running on Mac 10.6.5 the Adobe reader 9.4.1
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468.html
I read many forums and the above link fixed the issue for people.
If I am not using 8.2 then what else can be going on ?
It might be a font issue. I am not sure how to tes that.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I do not use the program often and wanted to give it a try again.

It might be a font issue. I am not sure how to tes that.
Open your Font book application and remove/ disable any fonts you do not currently need, then selectively reenable/ add them back until the issue reoccurs.

Adobe Screwup, Illustrator update will not install (mac)

Wish we have never joined the cloud services, and we plan to discontinue as soon as possible. What a MESS. Can't install a simple update through the automated process provided by Adobe. You guys are the genuine screw ups, bright people doing dumb things. Have nothing good to say about you at all, can't get help, long time adobe product user really HATES this mess you have created.

[email protected] I am sorry you have been experiencing difficulties applying the update to Illustrator. Which update exactly are you trying to apply? Do you receive any error messages while applying the update? Finally which operating system are you using?

Appleworks 6, photoshop and Illustrator CS2 will not open!! Am I totally screwed?? or does someone have a solution, the most expensive £20 I've spent as I have lost my livelihood!! HEEEELLLPPP

Please HELP ME!!!

All of those applications are PowerPC applications, which will no longer work in Lion. You really should have done your research before you upgraded. The only 2 solutions are: Go back to Snow Leopard OR upgrade your apps. I would recommend upgrading your apps. AppleWorks was discontinued a long time ago. I would suggest Pages or Microsoft Word.

Tried to reinstall my CS6 master collection onto my iMac. It will not install - In Design, Fireworks, Premiere Pro, Encore, After Effects, Flash Professional, Photoshop, Illustrator & Prelude. Could you give me some advice. I noticed problems when I was doing some 3D work and the computer kept crashing and thought I would just reinstall my software.

uninstall (using the uninstallers), clean Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 and then reinstall.

Tom,
Have you tried reinstalling in the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger)?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)
Acrobat Pro 9 will not install (FAILED), although every other program on the CS4 DVDs did install properly.
I have followed the instructions, and have tried with no programs running, not even virus protection (which is an insane thing for Adobe to demand of a product being installed where the installation routine is expecting an Internet connection): FAILED.
I uninstalled my Acrobat 6 Pro, (a standalone Pro version that I had to have a few years ago.) I uninstalled that working program knowing I had no idea where my original Adobe Acrobat CD is located, so I was essentially cutting myself off of Acrobat Pro if the Acrobat 9 Pro install continued to fail.
I reported this to Adobe support online.
I have followed the instructions to disable startup items and services, then tried the Acrobat 9 Pro install: FAILED.
At that point, I gave up installing Acrobat 9 Pro. I didn't have any more time to screw with it - I would re-visit the installation failure later.
Lo and behold, a client sent me a PDF file of a brochure, in an email, and I had to grab some text from it to put on his website (Done in Dreamweaver CS4.) Well, damn, now I'll have to go back and get that install to work...FAILED!
Suspecting a problem in the installation routine on the DVD, I decided to download the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro. So, I did. It downloaded and installed without a hiccup, and I had Acrobat 9 Pro working for 30 days...
I did what I had to do, using the trial version, then figured I would re-visit the installation issue later, when I had a few hours to dedicate to all the hell of calling Adobe software support, handholding, maybe registry edits, multiple reboots, and multiple attempts at doing everything again, just so the support person would know that I did follow all the steps correctly to prove thw outcome is sill FAILED!
Oh crap, I got another PDF file. No problem, I thought, I don't need to edit the PDF, just read it. When I tried to open the file, Acrobat 9 Pro plastered a screen over the program - the screen saying my 30 day trial version has now run out, demanded a serial number, or quit. My CS4 serial number would not activate it, and so I had to quit, not even being able to read the PDF file.
So, I un-installed the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro that had installed without a hitch and had worked flawlessly for 30 days.
Now I'm going to have to visit hell, and get the software that I paid hundreds of dollars for to work...
Please STOP and NOTE: Acrobat 9 Pro installed perfectly from the downloaded Internet version. What does that tell you? There are no operating system issues, no hardware compatibility issues (which I knew anyway, as the OS and hardware is up to date.) Even more significantly, there is no issue with the Windows registry, or other versions of Adobe Acrobat that had been installed before in the machine. My conclusion was that it has to be a problem with the installation routine on the CS4 disks.
So, I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe personnel: software support, to customer service, to sales, to customer service, and back to sales. After software support came to the conclusion that I needed to UNINSTALL ALL OF CS4, and run a clean-up utility, I knew I had to try getting a new set of DVDs and hope the installation routine problems/bugs had been worked out.
After being batted back and forth by Adobe Customer Service and Adobe Sales, I finally got someone to agree to send a set of DVDs to me.
I got the DVDs. I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: FAILED
As I told the software support person, I do not want to un-install the entire CS4 suite. I have all of those programs working fine, and have about a dozen web sites within Dreamweaver CS4 painstakingly set up and active, and some of them are current projects that I am working on daily. I also have multiple extensions installed, and spent quite a bit of time getting all of those programs set up for my preferences and my work flow. I DO NOT WANT to uninstall the entire suite of applications to get Acrobat 9 Pro to install.
And the conclusion of the "sophisticated" Adobe Support Advisor as to what specifically was the instalation issue?
Adobe Support Advisor
The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.
If you continue to have difficulties with the application,
please contact Adobe Support: http://www.adobe.com/support
System Information :
Operating System = Windows XP
Locale = en
At this point, what I want is to know what registry keys to edit and which folder(s) to delete to eliminate previous traces of Acrobat. In other words, just exactly the tiny piece of the "clean-up utility" that I need to run in order to allow the *Y#^%@#&#(& installation routine to work for Acrobat 9 Pro. I have no intention of uninstalling Dreamweaver CS4, as that is my business livlihood, and I know that my Dreamweaver CS4 client files/sites could not be read by earlier Dreamweaver versions. Asking me to uninstall Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, and Fireworks is insane. Your bad installation routine is not my fault, and you cannot expect me spend countless hours getting all those programs set up the way I want and with all my client/work files working correctly and all the extensions set up properly. So, if Adobe software support refuses to tell me what registry keys need to be changed, then I want Adobe Sales to send me a new, standalone version of Acrobat 9 Pro on disk.

I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version. For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running. I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

Adobe Illustrator CS6 will not open.

I have a problem: the illustrator app will not open. I get the pop-up: To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. Click "More Info..." to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website.
Both clicking "More Info..." and "OK" only make the pop-up disappear, but lead absolutely nowhere.
From Oracle.com I have already downloaded and installed 'jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg'. After install and restart i keep getting the same pop-up as before and i still can't open Ai. Any advice?

hi,
I updated from mavericks to Yosemite today which was a very bad idea. I had issues with my internal sound adapter and the system start is now very slow. I might going back to mavericks..
However, I wish the above link you gave here would work. After clicking the blue download button nothing happens. Any other idea how I could go back from my actual java 8-31 back to java 6?
Thanks, H

You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.
