Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS5

Hi, I am writing this topic because I can't install Adobe Photoshop CS5 and when the installation wizard writes me that the installation failed, he wrote me with this:

I am having problems installing adobe photoshop cs5 extended

Hi,
When I install this version of photoshop, I type in the serial number which allows me to install the program, then once installed it asks for another serial number in which I type the same number in only to be told it is an invalid serial number.
I was wondering if anyone is able to help me figure this problem out.
Thanks Leeroy

You've bought an upgrade version and you've entered your upgrade serial number.
The second serial number requested is one from an earlier version of Photoshop which made you eligible to buy the upgrade.
If you don't have an earlier version serial number then you've bought the wrong version. You need to return the upgrade version and buy the full version.

Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Hi,
Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
Thanks

No issues.
On the contrary, subject to the image(s) being edited, Photoshop will thrive in a 64 bit Win 7 machine given the right tweaks.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
Be aware that two versions of Photoshop will be installed 32 bit and 64 bit. The 32 bit is there for legacy reasons with some plugins e.g. TWAIN scanner

Can you Install Adobe Photoshop CS5 on Win 8 with no disc.

I recently acquired a HP ENVY Touchsmart 15 Notebook PC, which comes with Windows 8. I am currently attempting to transfer my programs from my old computer (which was Windows 7) to my new computer, which includes re-installing Adobe Photoshop CS5.
However, as this computer that I currently have doesn't have a CD drive (I was not aware of this as it was a gift), I am unable to put in the CS5 installation CD. I still have all of my licensing information, though. So, that leaves me with the following questions: Is it possible to install CS5 without a disc? And if so, does Windows 8 even support CS5?

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
CS5: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
To see if there are any special provisions you should follow for installing on a Windows 8 machine you should search this forum using terms like "Windows 8 CS5" to see if anyone has encountered issues that needed attention

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.
The problem is right at the end of installation, it (the Install Shield Wizard) says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
The message I get is:
'The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run the installation again.'
If anyone can offer some help, please, that would be great.
Thanks.

Problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - Rollback action issue.

Im having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
The problem is right at the end of installation, it says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
The message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again."
I have also created a new administrator account and after rebooting tried to install it but with the same result. It appears to get to the end of the program install but falls over just before the Organiser install. There are no error messages. AV and surplus programs have been stopped. Desktop clean up run. XP machine well within required spec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

Hello!
Please excuse my bad English. I help myself with Google translate.
I have a Mac OS X 10.6.6.
Even one month before I download the and installed a trial version of Adobe Design Premium CS5. Trial period has expired. I intend it in the short to buy.
But the problem I have with PSE8.
I bought a Wacom intuos tablet. So I can download Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. But I can not install the program.
I tried all three tips but I did not succeed. then I clicked the button More informations.
It has opened up another window titledPackage for Suport. The content is as follows: Please copy the "key" bellow to a safe location and press Close. You will need this key if you open a support case with Adobe. If you need this key I will be sent it separately.
Please help me install PSE8.
Thank you very much for the reply
s. Aleša

Well now the forum finally working like it should. I was always logged in, I saw my name at the top. However, when I clicked on the link Log / Registration, came forward error 404th I waited one hour without logging off and re-clicked. Finally, the forum in my browser started to work normally.
There is no problem that would not be able to send files to the server from which it can take you. The problem is that my /Library/Logs/Adobe/ folder is empty. How is it that the folder is empty? I have installed Adobe Design Premium CS5 too, although tryal version has expired. And even these files can not look in the folder. PSE8 but I can not even until the end of Installations.
So I tried to send Screnshot to you to see that the folder is empty. I know that you need a file, but how do I send it to you, if the file is not in the folder?
Maybe I have the settings set to not see certain files?
I called the support in my country, but only help those who have bought the program in their company. :-(((

Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS4. Please help me.

Hi Geeks,
I am stuck with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) installation since last two days. I am desperately looking for help to get rid of this problem.
My Problem:
At the end of installation of Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) i was prompted with en error
message stating some of the components were not installed. When I check the more information button provided in the error message window, it showed below error.
“Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.”
Still I could find the installed Photoshop in C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
When I executed above file; application showed below error message and close it.
“Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, Please reinstall the application.”
I just try to run Adobe Device Central CS4 which was installed along with it. It showed below error message.
“The Localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.”
So My Problem is I am unable to open Photoshop CS4 after its unsuccessful installation.
I spent more than a day in different ways as I explained below in more info section. I am desperately looking for helping hands to fix this problem.
I ever find this kind of difficulty with any other components installation in my 10 years of development experience. Please help me.
More info:
(1) I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) in this month (July 09) from adobe official site.
(2) My PC OS Windows XP SP3.
(3) Prior to install Photoshop CS4 I had Acrobat reader 8 and Adobe DW CS4.
(4) After I read some stuff on net, I downloaded both Windows install Clean up and CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe.
(5) First I uninstalled all DW CS4 and Photoshop CS4 using add/remove then rebooted.
then ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe (which really did not removed as it did not
find any Adobe component), then installed Photoshop CS4. No luck. same error.
(6) This time I ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe and removed DW CS4, Photoshop CS4 and flash and rebooted. Then I ran Photoshop CS4 as Administrator. Same thing repeated at the end of installation and when I tried to open the photoshop. Finding a real hard time with it.
Any kind of help to get rid of this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
R Sunil.

PS CS4 software itself has to be installed as Admin. Put the downloaded folder on the desktop (if not there already). Open the folder and right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin.
Install on C drive is the best stable choice.
Before you do all this make the anti-virus is turned off. If windows defender is running turn that off too. If Adobe reader is installed renove that. Ensure no other adobe products are running in the background.
During install the process will hang at 90 percent for about 10 to 15 mins. This is normal.
After the software is installed reboot computer.
After reboot go to start, All Programs and right click on PS CS4. Click on properties, Compatibility and check run as Admin. Hit Apply and OK to close. Run PS CS4 and update to 11.0.1
Be Advised:
Now the biggest problem you might run into is that the trial install went too far and failed. If this happened you cannot re-install PS CS4 trial because of the DRM that is hidden in the registry hive. The hidden DRM prevents people from installing the trial more then once and limits the trial at 30 days. There is nothing you can do other then nuking the hard drive and a fresh install of your operating system.

Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 Trial

How to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to Lion 10.7 if I have Adobe Photoshop CS2?

I recently upgraded to a new Macboook Pro and with that upgrade am using Lion version 10.7. On my previous MBP I had Snow Leopard installed. Also had Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on that and then later upgraded to CS5 on that machine. Now with Lion I am unable to do that. I aware of the technical hurdle.....Lion does not support Rosetta or PowerPC applications and therefore I cannot load CS2 on there initially and then upgrade to CS5. So does this mean that I am screwed unless I buy a full version of Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to put on Lion? Or is there a workaround?
I still have the old MBP so I could migrate all the files from the old computer to the new computer. Short of that is there any other workaround? If I gave the serial numbers of CS2 and the CS5 upgrade to a rep at Adobe could they unlock CS5 for me so that I can download it to my new MBP?
On another note does anyone think about backward compatibility anymore? Has Apple totally lost its mind? And will Adobe cash in on this opportunity? Is it too much to ask for a representative from Adobe to get back to you after posting your callback number? Customer service does not exist.....its is unprofitable to actually "serve" customer because a customer is a tool to be exploited as are all resources in a corporation.
This is American corporatism at its finest. You have a software monopoly with Adobe on one hand along with a computer manufacture that is not competent enough to produce a backward compatible operating system. If these companies operated for the consumers benefit they would be out of business.
There is no way I'm paying for a new version of the Adobe software. Surely someone can understand my frustration and that this frustration is be being echoed by hundreds of users. But apparently we are stupid right? We are stupid because we just want to be able to smoothly transfer stuff that we have paid so much for to a new operating system but cannot. And thats because on a whim it all changes.

Shaidipur when you install Photoshop CS 5 it will request your qualifying serial number. Assuming you purchased the proper update simply type in your Photoshop CS2 serial number.
In regards to compatability I believe their is a maximize compatibility option within Photoshop. For further details I would recommend posting your question into the Photoshop forum.
