Problem installing CS2 on Windows 7

I downloaded and attempted to install CS2 from the Adobe website and have been unsuccessful in getting past the "install disc 2" message.
I spoke with a rep via chat and they referred me here.
I have followed the directions that were included with the download as well as what the rep gave and am still unable to get past the install disc 2 message. When I click ok it just pops up again.
Can someone please help me to correctly install this program????
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi melisweaver,
CS2 is not compatible with Win 7. Please find the system requirements to install CS2: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html#main_ Older_Versions .
However here is a thread with similar issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/563291 .

  • Installing CS2 Into Windows 7

    Has anyone successfully installed CS2 into Windows 7? I've tried to install, but keep getting told that the serial number is incorrect when I know that not to be the case.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am glad I read your response, Bob.
    I too had the same problem. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried loading CS2 on our new system but mistakingly entered MY name instead of my wife's registered name, and CS2 refused to run. But up to that point it appeared it -might- have been able to run successfully. That was Problem Number-1.
    Here's Problem Number-2: Upon atempting to un-install the CS2 program the following message appeared: "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information, Missing Resources Library." What could be worst? I can't even un-install the software!!!
    I called Adobe and was dumb-struct at being informed "...we don't support CS2 anymore"! That, in my opinion, is absolutely foolish and non-scenseical on their part because in the least, they could have supported me and prepped me to upgreade and purchase CS3 or 4.
    I also tried to re-install CS2, again, on top of its un-installable condition and got the same message as above "Missing or Invalid.... " And so I remain stuck, three (3) months now without a clue as what to do to get out of this conditon.
    I even -manually- deleated as many files as I could in the CS2 Programs File directory in an attempt to get some of the "nay-sayers" un-install obsticals out of the way but, I still can't remove the program, nor re-install over it.
    I was able to load CS2 into Window 7's Virtual PC mode. But it can not run there as efficiently as I imagine it might in Programs (x86), or in 64 bit mode if it were indeed possible.
    I refuse to believe that I alone, out of millions of CS2 users, am in this problem alone.
    I need help Abode! I need help with this Bob! I need help from anyone who can help me get out of this mess. Thank you.

  • Problem Installing 817 on Windows 2000 with RAID Array

    I am having a problem installing Oracle under windows 2000 which has 2 x 60 GB discs configured in RAID array. When I run the setup program the cursor goes busy for about 10 seconds and returns back to normal and nothing happens !. No errors nothing.
    However when I run the Object Manager in the ods_preinstall directory it starts but in the log file I get the following error message:-
    02/14/02 09:46:18 : (892) : Error in IO Control call for disk PhysicalDrive0 (Error 21)
    02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : The count = 28
    02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : The signature is 0x443aa035
    02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : Error: First Partition of the disk must be an extended disk
    02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : Found the partition: 7
    Any idea whats happening....? Has anyone seen this before. Do I need to do something special in teh RAID..?
    TIA
    Martin

    Here are some possible solutions:
    1. The installation notes state that you must be logged on as Administrator to be able to install 9i. Are you logged on as the Administrator? Being logged on as user01 with Administrator priviledges isn't the same as Administrator.
    2. Is the disk full? If I remember my installation correctly, I needed 3 times the size of the files. The documentation will tell you how much space you need.
    Hope these two questions help

  • Install CS2 on Windows 7 32bit and 64bit, please help!

    I own a legitmate CS2 Creative Suite and my old Windows XP computer must be retired. Is there any way for a non-technical person like me to install CS2 on Windows 7 64bit? I saw some instructions but they seem geared to very computer knowledgable people and I got lost just reading them. Also, I saw new that CS2 was or is being offered fro FREE from Adobe? Is that true?
    OR, will CS2 as a 32bit application be more easily installed on Windows 7 32bit without any special install instructions?
    Thank to alll who can help this pathetically technically challenged person! I can NOT afford to upgrade CS2.

    Option 2 here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4715553 seems to work:
    Copy the installer to your local drive. Right click Setup.exe, Properties > Compatibility tab > Run this in compatibility mode. Choose XP SP2. Click OK. Run Setup.exe
    And yes, you can download and install them, see:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4976177
    There is still ongoing discussion whether anyone is entitled to install it, or only users with a valid license, but it seems Adobe does not care.

  • Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank

    Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank. I really need to install this since I have only 1 PC and i just bought the new iPhone 6.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Still trying to install CS2 on Windows 7 from download

    This is my third or forth post.  I have:
    Downloaded CS2 from the downloads page.  I installed it using the serial number on that page.  When I try to start Photoshop, it loads but then up pops a message saying "your user name, organaization or serial number are invalid", and then it quits.
    It was suggested that I probably have a file somewhere on my computer with info in it from my original attempt to install from my disks.  I have read the Adobe writeup about uninstalling files manually and followed all the directions.  I could not find any of those files on my machine.  It's true, I did try to install CS2 from my disks first and then unistalled it when I was told I could no longer activate that serial number.  I unistalled using the Windows "remove/repair" option.  I agree that there is probably a file lurking somewhere on my computer that has the old info in it but WHERE IS IT??  What's worse is the instructions for manual uninstall use directory names that Windows 7 doesn't use, but I did a search on every file name and didn't find anything.
    I have spent so many hours on this, it's getting depressing.
    Now what??
    All I need is Photoshop.   I don't really need the rest of the Suite.

    If you just want photoshop cs2 then use the single installer for photoshop cs2 instead of the suite installer.
    Unistall what you installed and then use the single installer for photoshop cs2.

  • Problems installing cs3 on windows 7

    Does CS3 install and work normal when installed on a windows 7 system? Some say it installed / worked just fine. Others that they had problems installing or getting it to run. Others that it depens on which windows 7 system you have. Etc. etc.
    What do I have to take into account when installing cs3 on a windows 7 machine? I know it's not designed for windows 7 but I rather use cs3 then cs4.

    No one yet. I'm thinking about bying a laptop which has windows 7 already installed (I think home edition), but googling I found various topics of people having trouble getting cs3 master collection to work (programs of master collection not being installed, error messages about missing windows files etc, etc.). Which version of windows 7 should I have to make cs3/cs4 work? Or should I be able to install cs3/4 on any windows 7 computer without any problems? Or should I do anything specific before installing?
    I'm a little worried that I won't be able to use cs3 (which I much rather use than cs4) when I buy a new computer with windows 7.

  • Problems installing CS2 in Win7 :(

    Hello everybody,
    I have recently reformatted my computer (Win7) and I tried to reinstall cs2 from a the DVDs and had some problems.  I got a couple of notifications: 
    Invalid Unicode File
    .\AutoPlay\main.ini
    Error
    MAIN_FILE_VERSION
    Error
    PRODUCT_REGISTRY_PARENT
    Error
    PRODUCT_REGISTRY_KEY
    I copied the 4 installation disks onto my comp and now the setup.exe starts but when I click install cs2, nothing happens
    I am currently working my way through this troubleshooting guide http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400992.html but nothing has worked yet so i figured i'd see what the forum could tell me.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks in advance everybody!!

    Unicode errors would indicate that you are using an unusual and incompatible system language but based on your rather vague info nobody can know any of that.

  • Problems installing CS2 - hangs at common files

    I am installing CS2 on a new computer running Windows7 and it goes fine until it gets to the common files where it hangs up. I had to close it and the software loads but Bridge doesn't work - and I'm sure there are other problems. Could this be a faulty disk? Can I download the software from Adobe or get a new disk?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Same problem. At second attempt got a message that ipad memory was over capacity.  I had 6GB free on the ipad2 when I started to upgrade and it was now telling me i needed more!  After deleting all my photos (4GB which had been loaded from camera and the only way I could find to do this was one at a time!) the upgrade apparently succeeded but in itunes it said I now had 8GB of "Others" in the memory and only 1 GB free.
    Lookign in "Diagnostics & Usage data" I can see 3 scripts coinciding with the upgrade attempts all of which start with "Sysinfocrashreporterkey" 2 with "bug-type 193" a couple of lines down, and one with "bug-type 109"
    Questions: 
    What are the 8GB of "Others" and how do i get rid of it?
    How can I bulk-delete photos transferred from camera?
    What do the bug-types refer to and do they indicate a solution?

    No to both I'm afraid. CS2 can't be used on a Mac running Yosemite. The only version of the Creative Suite that qualifies for an upgrade is CS5. Your options are to buy CS6 or subscribe to the Creative Cloud.
