IWork '09 installation location

I was wondering if I would cause a problem by moving my iWork '09 application from the iWork '09 folder and into the root of the Applications Folder. Its just that I like to have an Applications stack on my dock and being able to simply click on Pages '09 and have it load as apposed to then having to click on the finder window that appears because the apps in a folder?

Thanks for the reply it just seems odd that Apple don't seem to follow their own UI guidelines in terms of where an application should be installed and how the application should appear in the applications folder. Looks like I will have to make an alias instead.
They aren't selling _three separate applications_ but _one package_ embedding three tools sharing a lot of components.
So, they follow their own guidelines

I installed on my computer the other SSD hard drive, and now'd like to install Photoshop and Lightroom that station and I do not the C drive. How do I get exchanged the installation location when using your Creative Cloud in your program.

Photoshop is installed on your C partition and how to get it installed on another partition now!

Heinonen Petri you can customize the installation location within the preferences for the Creative Cloud desktop application. Please be aware that the Creative Cloud desktop application and many shared components will always need to be installed to the primary drive containing the operating system.
For additional details on how to customize the installation location please see Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps.

Programatically determine installation location for InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5, AND CS5.5 (Windows)

We build plug-ins for all versions of InDesign from CS3 and later, for Windows and Mac.
To deploy our plug-in(s) on Windows, we use InstallShield, which has a somewhat complicated mechanism to locate InDesign.exe and determine its version so we know which plug-in(s) to install, but basically, the location is determined (via the RegLocator table in InstallShield) based on this registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\InDesign.exe
This has been working fine for all versions of InDesign since CS2. However, that location is apparently no longer set by the InDesign CS5.5 installer. So, we need to find some other way of programatically locating InDesign CS5.5 with our installer.
I've searched the registry of a machine with InDesign CS5.5 installed, and there are other registry entries related to InDesign, but those entries are not set by earlier versions of the InDesign installer. Ideally, there would be a registry setting, or some other reliable marker we can use to locate the InDesign installation, which is consistent across all versions of InDesign (at least back to CS3).
Using the registry setting is something we came up with on our own via trial-and-error, since, as far as I know, there is no documented way to locate the InDesign installation folder. (Our Mac installer uses a simpler mechanism to locate InDesign by the application name and version number.)
I find the apparent lack of documentation on this a bit ironic, since just about every other aspect of the SDK and the methods for creating InDesign plug-ins is extremely well documented, expect for the last final bit one needs to know to get to the promised land of actually deploying a carefully crafted plug-in to customers' machines. (This seems to be true of the Acrobat SDK as well.) However, I could have just missed the relevant documentation, in which case, please point me to it.
So, is there a recommended way to programatically locate the InDesign installation location on Windows? How are other people doing this in their installers?

Hi Dan,
this is the InDesign plugins SDK forum, you need the installer forum....
Just kidding. I use a really hacky piece of VB to install my plugins while I'm developing...
here's the bit which works out the folder depending on which version I'm compiling for.
That gives you the gist anyway, and I imagine that most installers are going to do more or less the same thing, except they'll have short cuts ways of getting it.
There's probably a better way, but this works for me...

Sun Java System Application Server installation location on windows

Hi there...
I'm just doing the "Your First Cup: An Introduction to the Java EE Platform" tutorial for the first time. I'm trying to add the Sun Java System Application Server in NetBeans IDE. It's asking me to select the Platform Location, and I have no idea where that is. No help instructions I've found say where it normally gets installed, and I've found now mention of it on the web.
Can anyone tell me the location where this is supposed to be located? I HAVE installed the Java EE SDK 5 for Windows. The location it offers as a default is "C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2ur2\", but there is a red message at the bottom of the dialog that reads "Provide a valid Application Server Installation Location for 'Sun Java System App...". The Register Local Default Domain drop-down box has not options to select, either.
I would try and search some more, but I just don't know what to search for. If anyone can offer any insight into this, I appreciate it.
Thanks a ton!!!

I`ve posted a shorter version of the question in the hopes of getting a timely answer. Thanks

IWork '09 Installation Never Completes

I am trying to install iWork 09 on a iMac G5, 2Gb of ram, running OSX 10.4.11.
The installation runs fine and almost completes, but hangs on Running iWork '09 Installer script.
Tried trashing iWork folder, preferences files in user home directory and library folders.
Along with trashing Pages.pkg & Keynote 2.pkg in the library Receipts folder. After restart hangs at same spot again.
Any help is appreciated.

HI,
Try deleting this file. com.apple.installer.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. See if you can install iWork now.
How much free drive space is there? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.

Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library.
The thing is: I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality. It is so much more convenient and user friendly. Given the choice between having the display seperate from the processing, or having it be convenient and easy to work with, I choose the later option.
For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system.. I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
Possible or no?

CS5.1 overrides CS5 registry entries, how do I get the photoshop installation location safely?

Hi there,
I'm creating a installer for my Photoshop plugins, so I need to find out Photoshop installation directory. I did this by looking for registry 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\', but I found that CS5.1 will override the CS5 registry entries - they are both in ’HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0‘
So how can I distinguish CS5 and CS5.1 in the registry? Or how can I get the correct installation direcotry for both CS5.1 and CS5?
Thanks,
Daniel

You can't on Windows. On Mac they did the right thing and made a seperate .paths files. On Windows they just tromped on the CS5 registry entries with the CS5.1 entries, even though it's a completely seperate application installation with its own plugin path. Not too cool.
Although, it only matters if you encounter the probably rare corner case where a user has both CS5 and CS5.1 installed AND wants to put the plugins into the CS5 plugin path. We just punted and can only install into CS5.1 in that case, unless the user manually selects the installation location. It hasn't generated any significant support issues for us that I know of.

Default installation location

Hello! I am installing the Oracle Database and Query Tool Express Edition for the first time. I have Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Edition. I was merely wondering why the default installation location is C:\ rather than C:\Program Files\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\. If I change the location from the default, will this affect the software in any way (i.e. will the program have trouble finding certain files)? Is there any real reason to install it to C:\?

Example:
Use D:\My_Database\xxx
Do not use D:\My Database\xxx

IWork'06 Installer goes crazy!

That stupid thing tells me that pages and keynote are not in Applications/iWork/ ... blabla bla...
I hate having to pay for something and not being able to use it with all the updates I have a right to claim access to!

LLJM,
welcome to Pages Discussions.
Did you check Applications/iWork/...blablabla?
The iWork'06 installer installed iWork on my PowerBook in Applications/iWork'06, with the old '05-Version in Applications/iWork.
Did you move the original iWork folder to a different place? Maybe moving it back (or at least creating a link) will help.

How to customize the installation location for Acrobat Reader 11

My c:\ is a SSD with limited space. I would like to install Reader 11 to a different drive path, however the installer does not seem to have custom installation location option.

Download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/, then click on 'Change Destination Folder' on the first install panel.

How to find programatically the installation location for Mysql?

There are thousands of them. Probably hundreds of thousands. If you had a particular one in mind, just ask the person who set it up. There's no point in trying to write code for that, since you only need to ask once and put the location in your code.

Different installation location?

Freeze during iWork 09 installation

The installer froze during the installation of iWork 09 trail. I downloded from Apple.com and opened the dmg file. The installation froze at the stage "Configuring Installation". I waited for about 1 day and I finally gave up. Is there something wrong?

That section takes seconds to finish. You should not have to wait longer than minutes to install iWork. Run Disk Utility or similar to check for problems on your system and then reinstall.

IWork 09 installation fails

I am unable to install iWork 09 on my computer. It acts like it's going to install, but then it fails for various different reasons.
One message I received was: *The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.* (Good luck ... there isn't anyone to contact at Apple that I was able to find.)
Another message I received was: *The Installer could not install the software. The Installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install.*
I have tried all the "tricks" I found in the forum ... cleaned the disc ... ran a disk check ... did a "run with ..." on the original app rather than the link. Nothing has worked.
I have been able to install other software via DVD ... but only seem to have issues with Apple software (the DVD for the Apple Care also gave me a problem ... I had to call in to get registered).

Download the trial and use the serial from your purchase.
Are you trying to install from a physical disc or a disc image?
