Problems with CS5 Web Premium Disks Being Unreadable

I pre-ordered my CS5 Web Premium update and finally received the three disk set on May 6.  Attempted to install and the first disk which was the Suite installed fine.  The other two disks were unreadable.  I called Adobe support and they shipped another set to me which arrived today, May 12, and the same thing happened with the same two disks - Adobe Acrobat and CS5 Content.  The disks are unreadable on five of my Macs and three windows machines.
Called tech support and was bounced around from Customer Service to support in India and back to Customer Service and finally told them I just wanted a refund after about ninety minutes on the call.  I do find it funny that I was passed to Tech Support to "troubleshoot" unreadable disks. 
A simple solution which nobody at Adobe seemed to grasp is to allow you to download a copy even if you paid for a shipped copy. I am amazed that this is not an option.  So now I will eat the shipping costs and send my box back to Adobe and wait for what will probably be months before they credit my card back for the purchase.
Anybody else having problems with the install disks?

CS5 loads fine but Acrobat is unreadable and the Content disk is unreadable.  The CS5 trial download doesn't include the content or Acrobat.  Acrobat is a windows only download.   So the trial download only installs what comes on disk 1 which is the only good disk of the three in the shipment.
A guy I talked to in Tech Support acknowledged that they produced a bad batch of disks and it seems I got two shipments of bad disks.

  • Installation problems with CS4 Web Premium

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Application 1 DVD for Adobe CS4 Web Premium. So heres my problem..... When try to install Application 1 DVD, it stops installing at 82% of disc progress (Currently installing Adobe Color - Photoshop Specific CS4). It freezes for a while than a window pops up saying to insert disc 1. Isn't Application 1 disk 1? When I try inserting any one of the other DVDs, that same window pops up.  Am I missing something here???? Could it be the reason that I'm running XP 64-bit? Any help would be appreciated!!!

  • CS5 Web Premium without Flash Builder Premium?

    So after spending an arm and a leg, you do not get a Flash Builder Premium with CS5 Web Premium but only Standard? This surprises me as I thought Adobe's greed is not as big as long term goals, promotion of Flash platform, being nice to users, especially as we all know Flash is a bit thin on some platforms and on the web at the moment. Obviously I was wrong and the greed surpasses all imaginable levels.
    I frankly don't get the calculation where for the same price I get a State Of The Art Hardware - Mac, plus all the Apple dev tools for FREE. That's a computer, yes a laptop, the best out there, brand new, PLUS the software. On the other hand Adobe (with whose products you can't build and sell as good apps as with Apple's), is selling you Web **Premium** at a very high price, and YET you have to pay even more to actually get FB **Premium**.
    Is FB considered like a useless add-on into the Web Premium bundle? Did they think, heck nobody will need it but let's give the basic version there to promote it a bit. Sort of like when you buy Windows, they give you a trial of some Antivirus software. Or is anybody thinking that FB is something I will use 80% out of Web Premium bundle? Or should it be packed with Video bundle? I really don;t get it.
    So it's like this for the same money
    Apple = Mac + Great Dev Tools + Tons of other apps
    Adobe = CS5 Web Premium minus- FB Premium
    To be fair, I did hear a rumor that if you complain to Adobe Customer Care, that they give you a license for free, which is the only fair thing. However, I'm waiting for quite some time now as my support case is on hold. What do you guys think about it and do you have any experience with it?

    Gritty_d it appears that Flash Builder 4.6 is only included with Production Premium and Master Collecton CS6 - http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite.html.  It is not included currently with the Creative Cloud.
    Did you purchase the upgrade to Web Premium or were you given a free upgrade to Creative Suite 6?

    You can try downloading the CS5 software instead of using the disk and then use the serial number from the disk to activate it.

  • Is CS5 Web Premium compatible with Windows 7 64 bit?

    I just placed an order for CS5 Web Premium. I just assumed that if a software states compatible with windows, that is sufficient. I bought a license for Quikbooks books Accounting Software and just read in the very fine print not compatible with 64 bit OS! I am worried if CS5 is also not compatible. Please some one reply before I decide to pay in full for the product in two days time!
    Is CS5 Web Premium compatible with Windows 7 64 bit?
    Thank you very much!

    Hello Bob,
    I tried to install quickbooks 2009/10 accounting on my pc and an error message 1603 appear something to do with microsoft net. framework. I am awaiting reply from the quickbooks support team.
    To my horror checking forums on this issue, I am not the only one with complaints about Quickbooks 2009/10 incompatibility with Win 7 64 bit and apparently poor customer support. I sincerely hope this is not true. I am worried my first investment as a small business owner is already a waste of cash. : (

  • I can't install Fireworks form my CS5 Web Premium files

    I've tried ti install Fireworks from my CS5 Web Premium suite and it just won't install. I get a list of errors that seem to show some kind of incompatibility with my existing installations. (Photoshop, dreamweaver, etc).
    I have no clue as what to do next. Support chat told me, and this is a quote, "contact us through here: https://forums.adobe.com". It's like being sent into a black pit.
    I came to the forums, looked at posts which seemed to fit my problem and was dumbfounded at the lack of support. Question after question, some years old, unanswered and basically ignored. It gives one a feeling of being abandoned and it's killed any brand loyalty I had for Adobe products.  I guess, like Flash, most of Adobe's software offerings are no longer as relevant as the were.

    So, after getting support through twitter and trying the recommendations... no luck. There was and exit code 7 which took us down the wrong path.
    I did however; finally solve the issue. After reviewing the install log a little closer, I found that the installer was looking for a drive which did not exist. So, I stuck in a USB key, called it the missing drive letter and the installation worked. Funny though, as far as I can tell, no data was installed on the missing drive. It's empty.
    Note: I was using the default (windows 7)  install path C:\Program Files\Adobe

  • CS5 Web Premium has to be ran as administrator?

    I am having some difficulties getting a trial version of CS5 web premium running on my new Windows 7 64bit workstation.
    I downloaded the installer from Adobe.  Ran it and all seemed ok until I tried to start an application.  I started getting Error 213:11.
    Following some advice if found on this site through Google, I uninstalled every piece of Adobe software I had, I ran a CS5 cleanup script provided by Adobe and re-installed CS5.  No change.
    Following this Tech note: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/835/cpsid_83576.html, I changed the permissions on the indicated folder to not be read only.  No Change.
    I used the "Run as Administrator" option on a program.  And it worked.  I closed the program and started it normally, same error code but after the program started not before it started as previously happened.  Set the program to run as administrator in the compatibility options and it starts.  Started another program in the suite that I had not previously started and it gets the Error 212:11, but after the program starts again.
    Why would I have to run all these programs as an adminstrator?  I try to follow the best practice of not using the computer as an administrator when I don't need to be!  Is this going to change when I apply our license key after it arrives from our Maintaince program an a couple of weeks?

    Hi there,
    I have a related problem and feel a solution to the above issue might be able to help!  I recently installed CS5 Master Collection onto a networked machine running Windows XP (32-bit).  We generally log into our machines at work using an account without administrator rights - when needing to install software, we log in as an administrator.
    I installed CS5 Master Collection whilst logged in as an administrator, without any problem.  I was also able to launch the CS5 programs without any problem whilst using this administrator account.
    If I then log in with my normal account (without administrator rights) and launch a CS5 program, it immediately crashes.  The standard Windows 'crash' message comes up:  'Adobe Encore [for example] has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
    If I launch a CS5 program 'running as' an administrator, whilst logged in with my normal (non-administrator) account, it works.
    I've also tried changing the permissions/write access associated with the CS5 Master Collection folders: I logged in as an administrator, right-clicked on the CS5 folders, hit the 'Security' tab and then changed the access so that they're open to all users on the machine.  Logging back in with my normal account, all of the programs still crashed immediately after launching.
    I feel that I'm missing something very obvious - any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Tom

  • Where to download CS5 Web Premium?

    Where can I download the CS5 Web Premium.  I don't have a license for CS5.5 so I need to download CS5.
    Thanks,
    Lee

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Cs5 design premium vs cs5 web premium

    I have narrowed my selection between cs5 web premium and cs5 design premium. I need some help in determining which is best for web design AND design in general.
    YES I KNOW 1 HAS WEB IN IT:).
    The only difference which i can see is that web premium has contribute and flash builder. Are these critical in web design? Whilst cs5 design premium has indesign but not the other 2 mentioned above. I am not a hard coder so anything which is going to make my life simpler the better. I am not creating a flash based website but i will have elements of flash in it. I am leaning towards design premium as it seems indesign could help me quite a bit in terms of web layout, is this true? Also design premiium is valued more than web.
    If anyone has some knowledge in the products could they share shed some light on which to get. Also i have no experience with these programs but i am going to take professional courses once i get some time out of my two degrees at uni.
    Thanks for any help

    Actually Bob, that article clears up NOTHING! You simply state that Design Premium is better without giving one lick of supporting evidence. You mention IF you don't need FlashBuilder 4.5 or Contribute, Design Premium is the clear choice! In a well-written article, an expert would state why a person likely doesn't need the two aformentioned softwares, what they do, and who they would benefit (hey, you're claiming to "clear up a few questions" here). You also did not even name what Design has that web doesn't (InDesign) and why a person needs that, what is so great about it, how this one software is better than FlashBuilder and Contribute, etc. Honestly, your article makes it look as if you really don't know anything about the two products that you are comparing. I found myself not being any closer to making a decision after reading your article because in my opinion, it really doesn't tell us anything other than what you like better. You don't even tell us why you like it better. The fact is that these two bundles are very similar. It basically comes down to whether or not a person thinks InDesign is worth more to them than Flashbuilder and Contribute. That's it! Break it down from there. I'm sorry for sounding harsh, it's not my intent. I am just giving harsh constructive criticism.

  • Need some advice on a new build for CS5 Web Premium

    I am looking for a powerful PC that I can use mostly for work and some  light video work.  I have been looking at several systems, but I can't  decide if I should get the Core i7 875K, 950 or AMD 1090T for my needs.   I typically have many Adobe CS5 applications open at once like  Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and Flash, iTunes, Quickbooks,  Microsoft Work and Excel. I would ideally like to buy a pre-built rig,  but I can surely put together if better.  Below are a few I have been  looking at, but I am unsure about cooling on one of them and about the  875K processor on the other one.  I figured a gaming PC would be fast  and powerful as my needs are behond a standard base config.  I would  like some advice also on a good video card.  Been looking at crossfire  ATI HD 5770, single ATI HD 5870, Radeon 6870, and GeForce GTX 470 and SLI GTX 460. I am not a typical overclocker, but I  can be if it will help performance running apps.  I leave my PC on all  day and night so cooling is a factor.
    Thanks in advance everyone for the advice on this.

    Here is the final config I am looking to get.  I am just debating the hard drive config and video cards.  I want to be sure my video card will use teh GPU Accelleration and Advance features of Photoshop CS5.  Do you know if the NVIDIA GTX 460 is compatable or should I spend more for the 470?  I will not be gaming much and this pc is used mostly for work on CS5 Web Premium.  How does this all look?  All prices from NewEgg. I have another machine I will backup sata to each evening, so I really want a fast drive for program load and operation and another drive for data.  What is best way to config drives?  Should I get 2 of them and an SSD?
