Photoshop CS2 installation failures

I have been having trouble with Photoshop CS2 installation. PS was working fine bur 3 days ago told me there was a serious error and I had to reinstall which I have tried 5 times but it gets to the end and tells me a file is missing and to quit which I do but no PS. Adobe told me to create a disc image using disk utility and install from that. Still failed. I had to install on another bootable disc with 10.4.0 and it worked so there is a software conflict somewhere, probably with the latest security update (2007) but I do not want to have to reformat my HD and reinstall ALL my software from scratch and then NOT update to latest software without knowing what is going on. Can anyone offer any suggestions please.
Adobe say there is no conflict issue with latest security update. Have tried all sorts of install methods but it always fails at the last hurdle!

Firstly I am not installing the whole suite of software, only PS CS2 so Version Cue is not a problem.
Adobe also say there is no conflict issue with Apple security update and CS2. They tell me about making sure I have admin read and write for registrations database but this asumes I have PS installed which I cannot
Secondly I tried the CS3 Beta download which incidentally is 685Mb and it will not mount, so I will have to try another lengthy download

When I install Adobe CS2 Premium everything except Photoshop CS2 installs?

I have my original Adobe CS 2 Premium Edition. I run set up as admin etc and put in my serial etc etc all that goes smoothly. Now I would select the components I want to install. Photoshop Cs2 and Illustrator CS2. So after the installation I see illustrator and I can open it and use it, however I am unable to see a sight of Photoshop CS2 on the start menu, desktop, even made a search for it and no avail. I never received any error message as to it didn't install properly. So how come i'm not seeing adobe photoshop cs2.
Btw, my laptop is Windows 7 Home Basic, I installed the same software on an older computer xp and the same issue persists...can anyone help? It's obviously not an error message just that i am not seeing any sign of adobe photoshop on my laptop?
I even installed it in a different location on the C drive etc. Still nothing worked.

I know Adobe shut off the Activation servers, so your original CS2 will not work anyway.
Adobe has provided a free CS2 replacement. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
Download the replacement and the serial number next to it. Your old CD and serial number is no longer valid.

Photoshop CS6 installation failure Mac

I keep getting the installation failure error on my newly-purchased CS6 installation that I downloaded off the internet. It is fatal error "Exit Code: 34". I uninstalled all the previous versions of Photoshop that I had, including trial versions, and close all the programs when installing this, but the problem persists. Seems like the same issue as in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4371324 but no answer or solution is provided there. Can anyone help please?

Troubleshoot with install logs
If it hangs on the fonts, you wil lhave to manually remove the Adobe fonts from previous versions.

Error message on opening Photoshop, CS2 installation

On starting Photoshop I get amessage saying that my registration details or serial number is incorrect and then the application closes. Can I update my details or must I reinstall.Thanks

You are welcome to try the solution listed in Error: "...user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photoshop (CS2 on Windows) - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-user-name-organization-or.html.
These solutions worked with Windows XP I am unsure if they will allow you to resolve your current difficulties under Windows 7.

Photoshop CS2 installation issue

I had to clone my hard drive, and then CS2 didn't work anymore. I downloaded the individual programs from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html, and they installed and ran OK except for Photoshop. At the end of the install I got this error message: "Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\...Adobe Photoshop CS2 - {236BB7C4-4419-42FD-0409-1E257A25E34D}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." I tried it as the administrator, etc., but I keep getting this message. What can I do?

Hello Jeff,
I am using Windows 7 Pro, and yes, all was operating well before the activation servers shut down. Also, as I said in the initial message, I was able to download and install the CS2 versions of InDesign, Illustrator, and Acrobat (downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html ). When I try to install the version of Photoshop CS2 (downloaded from that same site), I get the error message (right at the very end of install) "Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\...Adobe Photoshop CS2 - {236BB7C4-4419-42FD-0409-1E257A25E34D}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
I'm a high school teacher and I use these programs all the time, so this is becoming kind of inconvenient for me...
Thanks for sticking with me on this,
A. S. Pels

I had Photoshop CS2 on my PC. The PC died and I switched to MAC. I have the Photoshop CS2 installation CD. When I insert the disc the file to install on Mac isn't there. Can anyone help???

My question is the subject

The Mac will not install a Windows program unless you actually have Windows installed on your Mac.
Even if you had a CS2 Mac cdrom, it's only supported on the older PPC Macs, not the newer Intel Macs.
If you want the latest Photoshop, the $10 monthly Photography Plan is the best way to go.
As for the Windows cdrom, Photoshop CS2's activation servers are closed. Your serial number and disc are obsolete.

Photoshop CS2 Installation Vollversion über Trail

Kann man die Vollversion von Photoshop CS2 über die 30-Tage Testversion installieren und somit alle getätigten Konfigurationseintellungen, bzw. -anpassungen übernehmen, oder ist es besser (oder notwendig?), die Testversion erst zu deinstallieren?

@ Hermann Blaesing: Höchstwahrscheinlich nicht, bei dem Preis kann es sich nur um Raubkopien handeln. Der Preis einer alten Version müsste normalerweise sein: Preis der Aktuellen Version minus Updatepreis und dann etwas drunter, damit der Händler das los wird.
Außerdem rate ich jeden ab in Russland Software zu kaufen, wie sind denn dann die Verbraucherrechte geschützt?

Photoshop CS6 Installation Failure

I have tried numerous times to install PS6 but every time I get the Installation Failed error message.
Id, Fl, Ai, Dw, Acrobat X have all installed without any problems.
I have a new Mac Pro 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xenon with OS X 10.8.1
I do still have CS5 installed on my system.
Any thoughts on how to get this to install?

FYI:
The error from the Adobe Applications Manager was:
Installation Failed
The download appears corrupted. Press Cancel, wait a few minutes and try again. (-60)"
Below is a screen shot of the error I was getting when attempting to install PS CS6 form the Adobe Applications Manager.
As I just posted I was able to get it installed by downloading the trial version and registering it durring the installation with my Creative Cloud Account info.
Hope that helps.

Hi Tim,
Sorry for the delayed response. Somehow, never got to see this thread.

Photoshop cs2 and rosetta

I can not find the box in "Photoshop CS2" in order to open in rosetta. In fact none of my apps info table seem to have the "open app in rosetta" box.
I am really having trouble with Photoshop. I've uninstalled, repaired disk, reinstalled still get the message to "One or more files in Adobe Application Support folder, necrssary for running Photoshop, are missing. etc" If i continue I get some message about cannot complete request. I need help
imac intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I think that it will work, there are several items
that they don't include in the upgrade to stop people
from just buying the upgrade and running it as a full
program.
While I can't say it with absolute certainty about the Photoshop CS2 installer, this hasn't been the case with Adobe's apps for quite a while now. You shouldn't have to have Photoshop installed on your computer in order to install the upgrade version. If you didn't have the previous version installed, you'd just have to supply the install disc for the old version when the installer asked for it.
But I'll be able to test it for sure this week for sure when I install the whole Creative Suite 2 on an Intel iMac.

Photoshop CS2 Upgrade Installation Problems w/ Vista Problems

I recently purchased a new laptop w/ Windows Vista which I'm trying to install my copy of Photoshop CS2 onto. My Photoshop license is an upgrade license ... originally upgraded from Photoshop v4.0.
When installing an upgrade copy of PS CS2, it requires proof of your previous version in order to verify you're a legitimate upgrader. This works fine if you're upgrading from a version of Photoshop after 5.x ...you simply insert your CD and the installation continues. The installation process is less straight-forward for users like myself ... installing from an upgraded version prior to 5. I'm required to call Adobe ... and conduct a phone verification procedure where I give them a code displayed on the screen during installation and they give me a response code to type into the installation form.
I deauthorized my old laptop ... start the installation routine on my new laptop ... call Adobe w/ my verification code ... enter the response code (which is accepted) and complete the installation without any problems. My problem occurs when I go to run the software. The startup screen indicates that the software is still in "Tryout Mode", and the first window I'm presented with is the "Adobe Activation" window requesting my serial number. If I try to enter my CS2 serial number it is rejected with the message:
"You must enter a valid serial number before activating online or viewing activation options. Please check your serial number and re-enter it, or click the Purchase button to buy a copy of this product"
The thing is ... this IS a valid serial number. I've confirmed this with Adobe. (It's probably an upgrade serial number, which is why the software is rejecting it). I called Adobe and they're now telling me that I must enter a paid-support agreement in order to receive help installing my software. They claim their software is working correctly, and it must be a problem with my computer.
Has anybody experienced a problem like this? I refuse to pay more for something that worked fine on XP just to use it on Vista due to bugs in their installation and activation routine.

Have the bugs of using with Vista been fixed, or still not working? thanks,
I know this is an old problem, but surely there is an answer to fix the problem by now...
What problems? I used Photoshop CS2 with Vista with no problems (I still have it installed on a Vista system if you'd like me to check anything in particular). CS3 and CS4 worked well as well. Haven't tried CS5 on Vista as I have moved up to Windows 7, but I suspect it works just fine.

Same Photoshop CS2 activation issue with new installer also.

Dear Adobe support team, we have downloaded the Photoshop cs2 from the link http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html. As per your suggestion I un-installed the older version and installed new version and tried to activate the product. But I have failed to activate as per your instruction. I want to get rid of activation message. Kindly also let us know what all do we have to un-install before the fresh installation.

Thanks for your support.
We are able to active CS2 in administration login. Now there is no activation message.
Now there is a different message window popping up. Every time I launch Photoshop CS2, the adobe updater message is popping up. I am not able to take screen shot of the window. We tried deactivating this in msconfig options but no success.
