Installing Adobe Illustrator CS2 on Pwerbook G4

Hi All,
I am new to using a Mac ,so forgive me if I mess up a bit. I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.4.4 and am having a hard time trying to install Adobe Illustrator CS2. When I follow the instructions on how to install it and click on the setup.exe file, it asks for an application to open it up with.It has no idea what to use to install with. I have no idea on what to use as an application. I tried several programs found on the laptop, but none worked. is there an application or applications that I can use in order to install the program or download and install?. I have installed other programs on the laptop and they installed fine. I have run all the updates to the operating system.If you need any more information, please let me know and thanks!
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

Strange :s ... usually when you insert the disc, a folder from the disc opens up to show ONLY mac realted files.
Open your disc icon and choose the folder with the Mac OS X icon. The MAC installer should be right there.
Cheers J

  • Installing Adobe Illustrator CS2 Trial - Error 201

    When I get to the end, it says there is an error 201 and please try and install again?
    I've restarted computer, and its brand bloody new!
    And to think if i paid a grand things like this wouldnt happen...

    I concur with Templeton, but be aware that CS2 runs in Rosetta emulation on an Intel mac, and aparently not that well.
    Better to wait for CS3 which is in universal binary and will run perfectly on Intel macs.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS2 v 12.0.1 and Windows 7

    We just got new computers for our office (Dell M4500) with Windows 7 and Office 2010.  I re-installed Adobe Illustrator CS2 v 12.0.1 on the machine and today I started it for the first since I re-installed it. Before starting Illustrator, I was going back and forth to different programs using the Windows button + Tab feature that shows the different programs you have open in an oblique way.  Then I started Illustrator and it appeared that my keyboard was not working and the Windows button + Tab feature was not working.  I changed batteries in the keyboard and it fixed the keyboard but not the Windows button + Tab feature.  However, I could still use the Alt + Tab feature to switch between programs!  So I restarted the computer and started a few programs.  Lo and behold the Windows button + Tab feature was working.  Then I started Illustrator and yes, the Windows button + Tab feature was no longer working.  It is enabled again after Illustrator is closed.
    Sorry for the long by necessary introduction.  Therefore, my question is - Has anyone else experienced this?  I have also posted this to MS forums.
    thanks,

    Please repost in the Illustrator forum. This is a forum about general design questions.

    Can I activate Adobe Illustrator CS2 on my new computer?

    Short answer: download a non-activation version of CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Longer answer: Adobe shut down the activation server for CS2 (and earlier versions) a couple of years ago. For CS2 owners, they've made available a non-activation version of CS2 at the above link.
    Download the non-activation version and use the new non-activation serial number provided there. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.

  • The download icon from my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk does not appear on my laptop.  Where can I find it? How can I download the program?

    When I load my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk onto my recently reconfigured laptop, the icon to download and install the program does not appear.  I have tried opening it through a Finder window, but haven't had any success.  How can I download this program to my computer?

    Is there a way to export my movie timeline (as in the organisation of my
    clips, not just the movie)  to a external hard drive. I thought publish
    would help but I'm unsure and the export button under file doesn't light
    up. I'm using Elements 11 and I'm trying to save it to a hard drive so I
    can unistall the program, upgrade my operating system and reinstall.

    I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

    You are welcome, ameronweb.
    To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
    If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

  • How to develop a simple plugin for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac os

    I would like to know the steps to develop a simple plug-in for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac OS...anything like a dialog box displaying "hello World"... I m new to MAC OS...Please help...
    Thanks in advance

    Get the SDK and start playing with the sample plug-ins. Asking for something as general as "how do I get started" is asking a little much from this forum :) Try your hand at the SDK and come back to ask more specific questions as you run into them.
    Bear in mind that this isn't an Xcode forum either, though I'm sure there are places to get good help on that!

  • Problem with installing adobe illustrator cs6?

    I am having trouble installing adobe illustrator cs6.When it gets to 2% it says "the setup encountered an error (37) during install. Please restart the machine and try again." I tried restarting my computer but it still shows that message.
    Also at the beginning it said "Installer has detected that a machine restart may be pending.It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart and try again" and i clicked ignore and continue.
    When i installed adobe photoshop cs6 last year it was successful.

  • Problem with another application after install Adobe Illustrator CC 2014

    Hello, I write you because we don't know how to fix this problem.
    We've encountered a problem after install that software in our corporative computers, for some reason the default font of Lotus Notes changes after install Adobe Illustrator.
    It changes Calibri font by The Times New Roman font. Those problems have been detected in the 100% percent of tests made. (Uninstalling Adobe and/or Lotus, installing the software in many PCs and suffer the same issue).
    There is a compatibility problem between those programs ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    d,
    I am afraid Illy is reluctant to recognize Calibri as a (proper high quality) font and therefore replaces it whenever she comes across it.
    Have you had the same issue with the original CC or even earlier?
