Problems installing Illustrator CS2

HI
The problem I have is that when I try installing Illustrator CS2 it just will not install. The installer goes through the install and it looks to be installing the program.
When I check the program list everything is there except iIlustrator. I dont receive any errors regarding a problem it just goes through the install and updates then finishes as though it has been installed.
I have even looked in the programs list on the C drive (c:\Programe files\Adobe) and it isnt there.
I watched this folder on install and it creates the Illustrator file but when the install has finished the file just vanishes???
Can anybody Help me on this one please.

Indeed weird. Unfortunately for CS2 no clean scripts exist, so you will have to try that manually. What I would do is to, try and move the installer database and the installer session folders (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps) out of the way, so the installer thinks nothing is installed yet. You may also need to download the Microsoft Installer Database Cleanup Utility and remove any instances of Adobe Setup 2.0 as well as other references to Adobe. Be extremely careful, though. For CS2, deleting some of those keys will create a royal mess and render your functioning installs useless, because it is tied in with the licensing and activation. So take it one step at a time. Short of that I have no clue, but you could check the installer logs (C:Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers) or provide them here for inspection.

Problems installing Illustrator CC (2014) and InDesign CC (2014) on OS X Yosemite

I'm currently having problems installing Illustrator CC (2014) and InDesign CC (2014) on OS X Yosemite. Both applications fail with the message "Installation Failed: The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes.(-60)".
I've tried uninstalling Illustrator CC and InDesign CC and then reinstalling, but still get the same error message. Other applications in Creative Cloud all install without issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and resolved it please?

Sorry for the slow response. My Mac wouldn't boot following a failed Yosemite update. I've since reinstalled Yosemite but the exact same problem persists. My Mac is standalone and not on a managed network.
Thank you for the troubleshooting link. I've tried the recommended fix for the -60 error but it doesn't appear to be possible to download the trial version of Illustrator or InDesign for CC editions. They just trigger the Creative Cloud installer and shortly after the -60 error again.
The problem is still specific to Illustrator and InDesign and I've tried uninstalling all Creative Cloud applications and reinstalling. Every reinstalls except InDesign and Illustrator.

Problems with Illustrator CS2

Argh! Suspected problem with Illustrator CS2...
When I look in the Stroke/Fill boxes for colours, I have no options available to me. All that appears is this: http://www.ioimi.com/images/strokefill.jpg.
Is this normal? All I want to do is selected different colours for the line stroke and fill colour of something I have already drawn using the pen tool.
Also, how do I move or remove rulers once placed and why is it that if I use the arrow keys on the end of a line it moves it more than one pixel? How do I keep a line straight? It's so much easier in photoshop but I need to learn.
Please help...
Thank you!

That is not the Color palette, it is the Swatches palette. It's where pre-mixed colours, gradients, and patterns can be stored and quickly applied. The file you are using has no swatches.
You can add your own by loading swatches from any other Illustrator file or from the libraries that ship with Illustrator. You can also add a swatch by mixing a colour in the Color palette and either dragging the colour onto the Swatches palette or clicking one the New Swatch icon (The page icon next to the trash can).

Problem installing illustrator cs5 trial

I have downloaded the trial cs5 but when i try to install it i get the following error message. I use vista.
"a problem occurred while ex
tracting some files, please check available space
on computer and the write priveledges on the desination folder"
any help greatly appreciated!

Problem solved - SIMPLE and QUICK solution
I too had similar problems installing Illustrator CS5. It just wouldn't complete the installation. Everything else in the CS5 collection installed fine. I looked around on the internet. Assuming that most people's installation problems originate from the same cause—registry errors, then scanning the registry for errors and correcting them first before rerunning the install should solve the problem. Which is exactly what I did and it worked like a charm.
Once you figure out what the problem is, how to fix it and get the right tools, the rest is easy. This is what I did. It took only a matter of minutes:
I use CCleaner (stands for Crap Cleaner, it's top-notch freeware I've been using for years, I can't recommend it highly enough!) to run a registry scan first. Sure enough, it identified at least one error with Illustrator. I scanned and fixed the errors in a couple of mouse clicks, took seconds.
I then run the CS5 installer again for Illustrator. Miraculously, it installed without a hitch!
You can download CCleaner here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download (The download link is in the top right corner of the page).
Hope this will help you too.
As a bonus, you will find that CCleaner can do a lot of wonderful maintenance stuff for your PC!

Problems installing Illustrator

Hi! I am having problems installing Illustrator CS4 from CD onto computer with Windows 8. I keep getting an error message telling me to shut down Bridges before installation can continue. I've gone to my Control Panel and Adobe Bridges is not even listed there. So how can I shut it down to install AI?

You probably want to open the Task Manager to shut it down (Ctrl-Alt-Delete -> Task Manager).

Problems installing Photoshop CS2 on iMac

I have my brand new iMac 20" Intel Core Duo, and I have recently purchased Photoshop CS2 and I can not get it to install. I saw in some places about the SU 2006-003 patch, but I have not installed that. I also saw about VC2 in the startup items, but that is not on my hard drive.
The problem that I am having is that it gets so far into the Running Installer Script and then everything just freezes. I'm not sure what could be wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Todd

Hi all,
I have had some luck with CS2 and my iMac Intel. But this is only after i spent a week of trouble shooting. A WEEK, on a brand new computer?... this to me is laughable. I am a die-hard Mac user but i have to say i am thouroughly disappointed in my new iMac. After 6 great years on my reliable G4 550Mhz 768RAM i upgraded to an iMac Intel and I just don't see the stability that i used to have with my G4.
Anyway, on the iMac, I did ALL the updates (including the security update and QT 7.1) and was running os x 10.4.6 and when i tried to install CS2, when i got to the second disc, installation froze, computer froze and i had to force a shutdown with the power button. When restarting, the iMac booted to the desktop, but nothing else loaded (no dock, no finder bar at the top, and no desktop icons; mouse didn't function as well) Called AppleCare and ended up having to trash my preferences and trash all that was installed by CS2. Well, that got my iMac working again but was nervous about trying to install CS2 again. Reading somewhere on these boards i came across a thread that mentioned installing Stuffit Expander, saying that some files on the installation discs needed decompression and since stuffit didn't come with OS X 10.4.6 i went ahead and downloaded the free stuffit expander. Heck at that point, i was ready to try anything. After installing stuffit, i tried installing CS2 again and this time the installation did work but seemed to freeze at the end. No message saying installation was succesful, just froze after CS2 finished installing from disc 4. I force restarted with the power button again, but this time the desktop, icons, mouse and dock were working as normal. I was able to run illustrator, photoshop, indesign, golive, bridge and acrobat pro simultaneously, but i wasn't doing any "real" graphics work. I do notice a lag when switching between apps. For example when i switch from illustrator to photoshop, it takes a few seconds for all the tool bars and palettes to load. I should also mention i have 1 gig of RAM. Read somewhere it's better to have 2 gigs, but come on... 2 gigs of RAM just to have functioning software? (another disappointing work around) Not sure if stuffit helped, or just a coincidence. I'm no expert so I'm wondering if anyone else tried that and had success like i did.
I am sorry about this rant, but you figure if you pay so much for a computer, that it should work correctly and that it was tested realistically for bugs. Not with a supercomputer with infinate RAM. I know i bought an apple, but this computer is running like a lemon and to be honest, i'm nervous about installing any updates or additional applications. Being a freelance designer, i don't have the option of pushing back deadlines... and the troubleshooting and time on-hold that i have to waste is crippling my workflow and losing clients for me. Wondering if i would be able to exchange my iMac for a G5 PowerMac with no restocking fees. I have no problem paying the difference in price between the machines but refuse to pay restocking fee for a machine that simply does not cut it.
Well, hope everyone else has luck and let me and the discussions boards know if the stuffit thing is a fix, workaround, or just coincidence and i got lucky installing CS2
good luck to all

Help with installing illustrator CS2

when trying to install my full version of adobe illustrator CS2 my system informed me that I couldn't because my hard disk was a non HFS volume and that it needed to be formatted as HFS...how do I do this???
thanks

When you installed OS X did you format the drive for the Unix Filesystem or for Mac OS Extended? If it is formatted Mac OS Extended perhaps the drive is corrupted. Try repairing the drive.
Disk formatting and repair is done using the Disk Utility located in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.
If your drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+) and the drive is OK, then perhaps there is a problem with the Adobe installer in which case you need to contact Adobe for support because these forums do not provide third-party support.

Problems installing Illustrator and Indesign from CS3 suite

I am trying to install Illustrator and Indesign from CS3 suite. Previously I had been running a trial version on my Mac, and now am trying to install the suite from the original install discs. I have gone through the process of uninstalling all of the Adobe programs and then reinstalling. When the install disc loads up and I get to the point where it lists the programs to install, in the top box Illustrator and Indesign are listed as already being installed and have no option to install them. When I search my computer there are no Illustrator or Indesign applications. I am able to reinstall the rest of the suite and it seems to work fine but can't seem to figure out what step I'm missing as far as reinstalling Illustrator and Indesign are concerned.

I haven't tried doing it on Vista but I would recommend looking for
Adobe clean up programs. The problem I had was that the computer had
a trial version and then I tried to install the full version and it
wouldn't let me install illustrator because there were some random
illustrator files that conflicted with the installation process. I
ran clean up program and it removed all adobe files. Then I
reinstalled photoshop. Before you start running clean up programs
make sure you back everything up. Good luck

Problems Installing Adobe CS2 software

Hi,
I purchased my iMac aswell as Adobe CS2 software back in September. I started installing the CS2 software (4 discs) and by the last disc, installation froze and the drive sounded like it was in a continuous search on the disc. So I had to reboot and eject the disc. This continued for 2 more tries. I contacted Adobe and they said it was a disc problem, so I exchanged my CS2 for another CS2 disc set. I completely erased the previous CS2 applications, reinstalled OSX and tried again. This time it was the 2nd of 4 discs that just got skipped over - nothing even installed from that disc - the computer just spat it out and said: "disc 2 complete, please insert disc 3..."
Anyone think I have drive or hardware issues???

Hi Bushfire.
I had a very similar problem when I installed CS 1 under OS X 10.3 on an iBook. In that case it turned out that the version of Stuffit Expander supplied with the OS was too old. (The stuffit engine is, I believe used to unpack some or all of the goodies from the installer). After upgrading Stuffit Expander to - I think to version 7 at the time - the install went perfectly.
OS X 10.4 doesn't have any version of stuffit expander included with it at all. Have a look on versiontracker.com to download if you haven't allready got it. Could be worth a try.
I have subsequently installed CS 2 on my iMac G5, and everything went OK -so it CAN work.
Good luck - and let me know if it works.

Problems installing Illustrator CS6 on OSX 10.8

Install Illustrator CS2 on Machine w/ CS3 Suite?

Hi, we have one computer that has the full CS3 suite installed on it only. It is running Leopard from a clean install.
We just found out that Illustrator dropped support for AutoCad files (that's just great!) in CS3, so we need to install a version of just Illustrator CS2 on this machine for compatibility.
All of our CS2 suites were upgrades (so was our CS3 suite). When we go to install using the CS2 install disk, we enter our previous CS1 serial number when it asks (since it is was an upgrade). But when we get to a screen to select components, ONLY Photoshop is available as an option. Everything else is grayed out.
- How can we install JUST Illustrator CS2 on a machine with CS3?
THANKS!

IIRC, you're going to need to uninstall CS3 before installing CS2.
Check the readme files. I think it may be covered there.
