Proper way to install CS5

When going from CS4 to CS5, what is the proper way? Should I install CS5, then uninstall CS4 later or should CS4 be romved, restart and then install CS5?
I done it the first way and it gave me some problems opening up old Photoshop files. Didn't know if I did a complete uninstall first if it would make it work right.
Thanks

Insert the CS5 DVD and follow instructions. CS4 and CS5 can co-exists but only one or the other can be opened a any given time. When you no longer need CS4 it may be un-installed. Try to keep what you install into Photoshop out of Adobe install trees. However some third party add-ons insist on beeing installed into each versions of Photoshop install tree. Actions and other things like brushes shapes styles etc can be loaded from anywhere. Photoshop Plug-ins tree can be linked to your plug-in tree in Photoshop preferences. Most Plugins are compiled programs and there are some that will be 32bit only and some 64bit. If you have a 64bit OS the Photoshop CS5 will install two versions of Photoshop CS5 a 64 bit version and a 32 bit version on your system.

Proper way to install windows update on Exchange 2010 DAG with one mailbox server in Head Office and 1 mailbox server in DR site both are members of 1 DAG

Hi Guyz,
I have this setup in my exchange environment.
1 DAG with 2 members
- One member is located in Head Office and the other member is located in DR site. All of the mailbox databases are located only in HO (Plan to add additional second member in HO soon). Now what is the proper way to install windows patches on the
member in HO? I don't want to move the databases to DR site as much as possible.
Appreciate your feedback and Many thanks in advance guyz..
More power to all!
Regards,

Hi,
To update the DAG members with new patches, the update process should be managed to prevent all of the DAG members from being offline at the same time.
To do this, I recommend you move the active mailbox databases off a particular server so that it can be patched, and if necessary rebooted, without causing any downtime for mailbox users on that database.
For detailed steps, here is an article for your reference.

Proper way to install ADF Runtime in Stand Alone weblogic 10.3.3.0

Hello:
I found several different methods to install ADF Runtime in a stand alone weblogic server 10.3.3.0. and they seem to be very different.
Does anyone know the official Oracle way to install the ADF Runtime or specific reference to this in the docs? The goal is to make a simple ADF web app, and get it working on a stand alone weblogic server.
Thanks for looking at this post.
Don

You can either use the installer that comes with JDeveloper or the one that comes with the application developer installer for WebLogic.

Best way to install a new hard drive into a laptop?

what's the proper way to install a new hard drive into a laptop? i've heard that cloning can result in very slow boot up and shut down times, and that the proper method is install the new hard drive, install OSX, and restore data from time machine. comments? thanks very much

Cloning doesn't cause the resulting system to slow down in and of itself, but it does retain any previous problems, which can build up over time and result in poor performance. (The same can be said of installing new system versions on top of old versions.)
A clean OS X installation will give you a clean base to start from. Mass-restoring data and applications will undo some of that benefit, but by no means all.

Best way to install Custom Effect into PresetEffects.xml on Mac?

Hi!
Can you advise me please the best and "proper" way to install (inject) my part of xml on Mac OS please?
In the best occasion - by Apple Script.
At this moment I made C++ based .exe installer, who reading the AE placement from Windows' registry and injecting a part of .xml text inside of PresetEffects.xml in folder .../Adobe After Effects CC/Support Files/
I would do similar in Mac now...
Thank you in advance!

When I say that a feature is "not supported", I mean that neither I nor any other Adobe person should be assisting you in doing this. Modifying the preset effects XML file is not something that users are supposed to do. It is untested, unsupported, undocumented, and not recommended.

Installing cs5 upgrade without previous

We are trying to install CS5 that was purchased as an upgrade. We were previously using CS3 and no longer have the serial number or installation media for CS3. Is there any way to install CS5 still or do we have to purchase the software again? We have CS5 working on our old Mac still but I don't see where I can obtain the information from it. We were able to restore the applications on our new Mac using Time Machine but it brought over a few issues we were having with the old Mac.
Let me know how we should proceed.

Snewm for the first step I would recommend locating your missing serial number. Without the serial number you will be unable to reinstall and correct your current difficulties.
You can find details on how to locate the registered serial number at Find your serial number quickly.

What is the proper way to apply SCCM 2012 R2 Cumulative Updates

Hello All!
I am looking for a little advice. Since deploying SCCM 2012 R2 I have not yet installed any of the cumulative updates. What is the proper way to install the previusely released updates? I believe there has been 3 CU relases since SCCM 2012R2. Should
I just install the most recent CU or install all of them starting with CU1? I know each one addresses different issues so I would think install all of them would make sense.
Thanks,
Phillip

No, they're cumulative, so you only have to install the latest.

Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition. The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop. The user manipulates the image and saves the changes. The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server. The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image. The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing. But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
- I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
- I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation. The script just stops working in this situation.
- I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3. The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version. But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions. So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

Do you mean schroot? If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

Best way to install Master Collection CS5

Ok, some of you may think this is a dumb question but after the absolute torture I went through with loading up my CS3 MC over the years on previous pcs I'm gonna ask it anyway. I have a Vista 64 workstation / 10K Raptor boot disk with plenty of space and the previously mentioned CS3 MC on it - everything working great. I now have a shiny new full version of CS5 Master Collection I'd like to put on the same machine. What's the best way to go? I can't afford days of downtime because of incompatibilities between the two installs. My intention is to keep only Photoshop CS3 from the older MC (until I get up to speed w/CS5) and at some point uninstall everything else CS3.
I'm thinking -
1. Uninstall the CS3 MC, all of it - run some cleanscript like the last time (is this needed? available for this version?), install CS5. Then re-install PS CS3 from the CS3 MC disks (a real PITA).
2. Forget the CS3 setup and just try installing CS5 MC and see what happens. If it was anything like last time this could take hours, with no assurance of sucess due to some random error popping up while I'm falling asleep. Then do the CS3 uninstall, maybe app by app if it will let me?
Your thoughts are welcome!

Hey thanks for the advice. I ended up going 'all in' and uninstalled everything Adobe CS3, Flash, Air and Reader (after saving all my PS settings, actions and the like on a different drive), running the CS5 cleanscripts, copying the CS5 files to a desktop folder and installing from there. Everything installed just fine on the first run (!) and yes, I went to bed while everything updated itself. I haven't gone through everything yet (that might take a year) but all the biggies fire up and that's a good thing. Photoshop, Acrobat and Dreamweaver are my big three for the moment.
I do have one little problem - the darn pc won't reboot properly (?). This started up right after I uninstalled everything and of course the uninstaller demanded a restart. It will boot through bios, then the little scrolly thing and then when the little animated logo is supposed to go on to the login screen - nothing! It just sits there with a blank screen and the HD light going blip, blip, blip. Now, if I kill it with the power switch and then cold start, select 'last known good configuration' it will boot through just fine; that's how I went ahead with the CS5 install. My big question for today is - how do I save this 'last known good configuration' as THE configuration? Anyone wanna take shot at it?

Problem reinstalling FB4 premium after installing CS5 MC on windows 7 64-bit

Hello,
I was hoping that I could get some help with an issue -- I filed a technical request (ticket) with Adobe but also wanted to reach out here.
Background:
I installed FB4 Premium in March, and had no issues with the download or install -- everyhting had been working fine. Yesterday I installed CS5 MC and in the process of installing it over-wrote the debug versions of flash player that come in FB4 premium with standard flash player. Naturally,that won't work with FB4 so I needed to find a way to reinstall the debug version of flash player plug-in and active x. After trying unsuccessfully for while to do so, I decided it would just be easier to uninstall and reinstall the FB4 download which I still had on my machine, as this comes with the debug players I need. Big mistake. Now I can't get FB4 to reinstall. I am getting the following error messages while running the install set-up (see uploaded image of error message below). Any thoughts at all on how I can resolve this? I did try several reboots, new installs and even re-downlaoded FB4 again from the Adobe store. It appears the presecne of MC5 has caused this somehow?? I run windows 7 64-bit pro. By the way, I did figure out (too late) the way to reinstall the debug flash player -- I first needed to run a script to delete the existing flash player rather than just uninstall it; if anyone needs the script or help on that let me know.
hanks very much -- this has me stumped.
Bob

Hello Chris,
Thank you very much for this insight. It worked. Now I just have a few issues around getting a shortcut for FB4 on the desktop and fixing the FB4 app icon (which now shows up as blank). But it is running as FB4 premium -- Thank you so much!! I have also sent an email to the Adobe engineers working on this case.
I realized that my big mistake was thinking that I needed to reinstall FB4 premium standalone to get FB4 premium to work -- but this was not possible (due to how CS5 installer works) and not needed (because CS5 has all of the code needed to run FB4 premium). The answer (as you described) was simply to go abck to the CS5 installer let it install FB4. While CS5 would initially install FB4 as standard, the serial number "games" described here and in other posts would allow me to upgrade to to FB4 premium. It now works as FB4 premium!
Thank you Chris,
Bob Avena

Possible to install CS5 on an external drive?

Hi all,
I'm new to adobe products so I apologize if this is a common question; I tried my best to search the forums for an answer. I recently bought CS5 to use on my 2007 Macbook (snow leopard) for personal use, just to keep my skills current. I wouldn't be using the software that often and I'm worried it'll slow up my computer too much if I keep it on here permanently. I only have about 28 gb free. Is it possible to install and store the software on an external drive?
I see in the tech specs it can't be installed on a flash drive, but is there a way to install it on the laptop and then move it to a drive? If so, how big does the drive need to be? (I'd want something relatively portable) Are there any other problems that could arise from this? Thanks so much.
Emma

Several points:
Computers don't get slow because of a lack of hard drive space, unless there is very very little left (let's say under 1GB). You may be thinking of RAM (memory), where the more programs that are running simultaneously, the more difficult it is for the running ones to allocate memory and they may page between RAM and disk (virtual memory), which is slow.
You can install Creative Suite 5 on your hard drive and move it. Most of the Adobe programs will happily detect that they have been moved and update their idea of where they live. I think you will find that this causes mild problems for Acrobat, but it just means you get more annoying prompts when you start it up. Still, I would leave it alone.
In CS5.5, the installer lets you choose the location of the install (which Acrobat then ignores...). I can't remember if CS5 lets you choose, but I've moved it after the fact without a problem.
Another issue is that there are a lot of common files that are not installed in the Applications folder. For instance, I have 2.4 GB in /Library/Application Support/Adobe. I would not recommend trying to move these files unless you are familiar and comfortable with symbolic links (ln -s).

Best Way to Install CS6 Design/Web Premium Upgrade

Hi,
CS6 Design/Web Premium Windows Upgrade (for CS5.5 Design Premium) is shipped and on its way for 5/10/12 delivery. Reading on these boards about CS6 installation problems (plus the installation difficulties for CS5 upgrade from CS4), prompt me to ask:
What is the best way to install the CS6 upgrade?
Is there a CS6 clean tool available?
I would ordinarily first deactivate and uninstall CS5.5 Design Premium.
Is this the best way to proceed?
Regards,

If you do not want to keep a CS5.5 concurrent installation , this is the best way in my opinion.
The CS5.5 uninstallers do not remove everything of CS5.5 however. There will be e.g. left overs in the Help titles of the CS6 Help Manager. There is a cleaner tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Cheers,

Installed CS5, now I can't administer a site using CS4

I installed CS5 recently. My client still has CS4. She recently changed her ftp pass codes. I updated the connection with Contribute using CS5, but she can not access the site and gets an error message "This site is now being managed by a newer version of Contribute". I cleared the preferences in CS5 and am trying to re-establish the connection for her using CS4...but everytime I do I get half way through the set up process and get an error message saying that the site is already being managed by a newer version of Contribute (even though I have cleared the CS5 preferences in the Library and that site doesn't exist anymore on CS5 version).
How can I still use the older software for my client who doesn't have CS5? Thanks. Melissa

1) If the site is adminitered by newer version of Contribute then you can't administer the site using lower version of Contribute.
2) In the Compatibility is chosen as Transition Mode then the users in lower version can connect, if the mode chosen is Compatibility then they can't connect.
Please refer to the blog http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2009/09/compatibilty_transition_mode.html for more information.
Hope this help you.

Installed CS5 after CS5.5. How do I fix associations?

I installed CS5.5 Master which includes PRemiere and After Effects onto a brand new PC I built. I though I knew that I'd never need my copy of CS5 MC again so I didn't even load it. Then I realized I have several plug-ins that will not install in CS5.5. So I went ahead and installed CS5 MAster but only selected After Effects and Premiere since these are the only ones I need the plugins for. Well...it worked, but going forward "all" plugins are pointing to CS5 now instead. I modified the registry key HKLM\software\adobe\premiere pro\current version\plug-insDir to point back to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS5.5\MediaCore.
I thought this should fix it but is does not. Additionally all my projects are opening with CS5 instead of CS5.5. Is there some way to fix this? Can I reinstall CS5.5 overtop of itself, even if I've done all the updates and installed a dozen+ plugins? Any help would be great!
Thanks.

These are older versions of a few plugins that work in CS5.5 but will not properly install since the installation package is looking for CS5. I have them installed and working now, but I am wondering how I can get CS5.5 to be the main version of CS on my system again? I tried to go into Programs and Features and see if I could simply do a repair of the installation but Adobe only offers uninstall options. I'll keep looking. I realize now that I should have installed CS5 then CS5.5 but I have a streamlined clean build that I spent 3-4 days on and don't want to start from scratch.
Thanks.

Trying to install cs5.5 onto new pc, have old serial number...

trying to install cs5.5 onto new pc, have old serial number... but can not find how I even start process. Yes, it is installed on a MAC, where I still want access.

You cannot install your Mac license on a PC. Serial numbers are platform specific. There's no way around that.
