Problems Installing CS2 via Photoshop 6....
Hi, yup I know these are old versions, but Ive had an hardware failure and need help !! Not having the best of days...
My PC has crashed, requiring me to reintsall VISTA and photoshop.
My last full version of Photoshop was 6, I installed that, everything OK
I then installed my CS2 upgrade, which installed OK. However when I went to activate I got a "Activation Server Unavailable" error.
A little research led to me to a page, tht stated that du to a "technical issue" the activation sever had been shut down and I should download a different version tht didnt require an activation. Before the install I should remove the old CS2 software.
I removed the CS2 software and the Photoshop 6 software (was this correct ?) and installed the new CS2 download.
The install completed but then the software aske for my serial code, which I entered only to be told that the serial code was not recognised.
Help !!! Im not having the best of days !
Does the new software recognise tat my serial code was for a an upgrade and therefore Photoshop6 needs to be reinstalled (AGAIN !).
cheers
Tony
Forget about Photoshop 6. It's not required.
Go back to the link where you downloaded the new non-activation version of CS2.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
That is the version which must now be downloaded and installed (no Photoshop 6 required) since it's specially coded not to require activation.
You must enter the new serial number published by Adobe on the same page (last column on the right) from which you downloaded the new version of CS2. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

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 .

Problem Installing Trial of Photoshop CS5 extended edition
I have been trying to install cs5 extended from the adobe website.
people keep telling me that my problem is my computer doesn't meet the system requirements but I have checked them and it does.
Also my sister has the exact same computer and she had no problem installing it.
It gets about 19% through the installation before it stops and says: there were problems with your installation.
Could someone help me please, I'm buying photoshop through my school soon but I don't get it for a few more weeks and I have an photography assesment due in a week.

Perhaps it doesn't, after all? I'm sorry to say so, but just saying that your computer meets the specs when we don't know what they exactly are is not useful in any way. Please provide the full specs and hardware details.
ERROR: - Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86: User canceled installation
Why does this happen? Do you really cancel the installation or is this a potential external issue? If the Microsoft installer is cancelling itself (it is a separate pop-up panel in teh main install), then this would be further indication that something is wrong with your computer in the first place and it doesn't qualify...

Problem installing CS2 from download.
I was attempting to re-install Adobe CS1 but could not get it to re-activate. I called Adobe support and was directed to download the CS2 suite from their site. I downloaded it and attempted to install. The filenames are a little different than those referenced in the installation instructions but everything went perfect until it ask me to insert CD #2. The extraction process extracted the program files to different folders on my c: drive so there are no actual CD's. I don't understand why the install routine cannot find or be directed to the next set of extracted files. This has gotten very frustrating. Can someone please help me? I downloaded the following:
CS2_install_Win.pdf -- installation instructions
CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1.exe
CreativeSuiteCS2Disk2.exe
CreativeSuiteCS2Disk3.exe
CS_2.0_WWE_Extras_1.exe
VCS2.zip
thanks for your help,
tomBefore I start copying files............when I extracted the files the process created the following folder structure:
C:\Creative Suite
|_
Adobe Creative Suite 2.0
|_
Adobe InDesign 2.0
Adobe Version Cue 2.0
C:\Creative Suite CS2
|_
Adobe Creative Suite 2.0
|_
Adobe Illustrator CS2
Adobe Photoshop CS2
etc
etc
C:\CS_2.0_WWE_Extras_2
Where do I need to move files from/to?
thanks, tom -
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,
MarcSame 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? -
Problems installing CS2 after uninstall
I am having a problem with CS2 after an uninstall. I recently got an error working with In-Design and it had me fix the problem of course I had to do a full uninstall and reinstall.
When I get to the auto install problem it will open than immediately close doing nothing. I have even tried to make a copy of the disc to the hard drive and install that way and it will get to the password part than stop to work.
I have also followed the manual removal instructions to remove all adobe programs.
Also tried the moving disc 1 and 2 to the hard drive mount them and run the install.
Nothing I have read so far works. Help please!

Hi,
Our company found few unused licences of CS2, webmasters department received it.
But, on some machines we have problems with install. We can't install software on systems with Windows Vista Buisness, and Windows 8, on Windows 7, and Windows XP, everything works fine.
On both problematic systems, user got notification that setup was interrupted before completion of the installation of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (it's in polish but I translated it).
Anyone have some ideas how to solve that problem?Are you trying to install from disk? You can no longer use those versions, and have to download a special version with new serial number

Problem Installing CS2 product over CS3 Web Edition
Hi, I recently bought the CS3 Web Edition and installed it, then uninstalled CS2 Standard edition to make room on my computer... now I realize I don't have InDesign loaded and am trying to reinstall that. However, the Adobe setup isn't cooperating at all. I get stuck on providing the Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later cd. I install PhotoShop 6.0 into my CD drive and it won't accept it. I try pointing it to the CS3 version of Photoshop and it won't accept that either. I only want to install inDesign to the computer. Is there a way around this?
This issue was resolved by calling customer support... they were able to manually over-ride the problem and provided a key code to proceed with the installation. Also, it is possible to just install inDesign, without having to re-install all the components I no longer need.

Problem installing CS2 Premium (please help)
I bought a copy of CS2 a couple of years ago ("free" support has now expired). I installed it on my desktop and laptop (both running XP). Worked fine.
Last year, I upgraded the laptop and wanted to de-register (or whatever the Adobe term is for deleting that machine from their database) and install it on the new database. The de-registration appeared to work, but the installation on the new machine didn't. All of the Adobe software (not the Macromedia stuff) would start and stop, due to the inappropriate registration. I called customer service, and was informed that my "free" support had expired, but that someone "might be able to help" for $50/hour. I declined and have just used the software on the desktop.
Last weekend, the desktop machine died and I replaced it. Now, as far as I can tell, I have no way of de-registering either installation (the funky version on the old laptop or the one on the dead desktop), and no way to keep using a software package that cost me a couple of thousand dollars.
Really frustrating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Background Information
Refer to the following URLs to understand the Adobe's software activation and licensing.
"Adobe software activation" at
http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/
"Product Activation Center" at
http://www.adobe.com/activation/
"Activation for Previous Software Versions" at
http://www.adobe.com/activation/previous_software_versions.html
"Installation on multiple machines" at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/152/tn_15266.html
On the first URL, Adobe describes " Please call Adobe Customer Care for assistance." in the Section "I don't have access to the computer on which I originally activated Adobe software. Can I still deactivate the Adobe software and use it on a new computer?"
But you cannot find "Adobe Customer Care" contacts information by searching "Adobe+Customer+Care" in Adobe's sites, and it's rearly useless description.
If you cannot activate or deactivate your applications via the Internat, you can activate your applications by phone.
For details of phone activation, see the following URL:
http://www.adobe.com/activation/phonenumbers.html
Select live customer service representative and explain your situation that you cannot deactivate your applications due to machine crash to the personnel. -
I have a purchased version of CS2.
I have followed the instructions to download the product again and used the license key given so that activation is not need.
I have extracted the files to the appropriate hard drive folders.
BUT the installation procedure does not allow for discs 2 and 3 to be obtained from the hard drive.
How do I solve this please?You should be running the installer that you downloaded with the new non-activated version, rather than using the installer from the original disks.
Also, are you installing the product on a new computer or on the computer you originally had CS2 installed on or what exactly are you doing? -
Problem installing windows via bootcamp. Driver issue on Mavericks
(Sorry just posted this elsewhere , then found the Bootcamp part of this forum, so i copied it here )
Ok, for the past few days i have done alot of attempts at finding an exact answer to my problem, but to no avail. So hopefully as i describe it here , it could help get me pointed in the right direction.
I have a late 2009 imac, with Mavericks installed. I have tried installing windows 7 both 32 & 64, i get the partition done in bootcamp, reboot process etc , gets to windows install screen, but now when it searches for its first drivers it cannot find it and i am forced to exit out and go back to osx etc, and start researching another way to solve the problem.
I have read there is a problem with downloading the apple support software thru bootcamp, so ive done it from the website directly. Am i correct with the following here ,-- These files put on the thumb drive, are NOT the drivers for windows, they are to be installed after windows is installed. Right ?
Recently i read windows 7 cant be put on mavericks, but that was a thread related to a different computer and year than mine. So that lead to even more confusion. So apologies, but i do hope i can get a simple way to get this completed. I appreciate your time & help in advance.Ok thanks! just one more question now, should i go out and buy windows xp? i am a college kid who has an opportunity for a free upgrade to windows 7 professional. or should i just go out and buy windows 7 itself? Would downloading the upgrade be a smart option because i may be able to spend less money total? or should i not take a chance on that and just buy the home premium of windows 7?
thanks! -

Problem installing Flash via SCCM 2012
Hoping someone can help. We are currently pushing Flash, version 12.0.0.70 company wide to Windows 7 laptops. For half of the users it installs just fine. The other half SCCM reports failed to install. When looking at the laptop it has both the old version and the new version of Acitve X and the Plugin. For some reason it doesnt remove the older version and then SCCMS detects it as failed. Im not sure why its only happending to half of our computers but I need to figure this out soon. Any ideas or suggestions?!?!?!
Hi,
If you don't use Unknwon Computer support in SCCM the computer must be known in SCCM either with MAC Address or UUID and be added to a collection with a Task Sequence deployed to it, so there is really no need for a filter in that scenario you
have it already in the product.
Yes you can use a powershell script for instance to create the computer in SCCCM with MAC address/UUID, if you don't use the AD Computer Account or any other prestaging, you can let SCCM create that for you as well.
This example script will import a computer into a specific Collection as well so no need for the computername prompt either.
