PS CS6 upgrade mac, install error

Hello,
I just received the upgrade to PS CS6 for Mac.  I currently have PS CS3.
I tried installing, but the installer aborts about 2% into the installation process.  when I click on the error description I get this:
Exit Code: 22 Please see specific errors and warnings below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW041 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 1 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
FATAL: DW041: INSTALLDIR cannot be the root path -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried the following, reboot after each process and tried to install each time:
1. checked the HDD to make sure there's no issue with the drive
2. repaired permissions
3. checked for space: there is 45G free space on /Application
4. uninstall PS CS3 (kept the preference file)
5. boot into Safe Boot mode
6.  install from two different admin accounts
all comes back with the above error.
do I have a bad disk, or is there something else I should try?  the error code almost sounds like it's trying to install in / and not in /Applications or something (install program not setting the INSTALLDIR variable correctly...?)
any help is much appreciated.
machine info:  MacPro 10.6.8 with all the updates

Hi,
I've already run permissions repair (both under normal boot, and also under Safe Boot), and no change.
What exactly on OnyX do I need to do?

    Which operating system are you running? It might still be running in the background. You may want to check your Task Manager or Activity Monitor. Or better yet, if you feel uncomfortable with that, try logging out of your user account, then back in. That might kill any stray processes.

  • Cs6 upgrade is installed, do I need to keep CS4 installed?

    cs6 upgrade is installed, do I need to keep CS4 installed?

    Stephen Roach III wrote:
    I,m under the impression that CS4 must be installed on the machine for a 'upgrade to' version of CS6 to be successfully installed.
    Is this assumption wrong?
    No, but it's not essential since upgrades include the full program code. The serial number differentiates a full version from an upgrade.
    If the CS6 ugrade installer cannot find an earlier qualifying version already installed, it will ask you to enter the serial number for an earlier qualifying version instead. You then enter an earlier version qualifying serial and the CS6 installer will continue.
    When I'm installing (or reinstalling) Creative Suites where the latest version is an upgrade version, I only ever install the latest version - even if no Adobe software was previously installed on that particular computer.

    Everytime I run the Apple Cd to re image my Mac an error message appears saying the files cannot be installed. How can I scrap my Mac back to factory settings?

    Erasing disks securely
    Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

  • ITunes upgrade/fresh install error!

    Hello all.
    I am using an iPod Touch second generation. Tried to upgrade to iOS5 but it required me to upgrade my iTunes to the latest version. Tried to upgrade and an error popped up "Package installer error" or some sort. Been told to redownload the installer package or try to reinstall. Tried both but to no avail. I thought my current iTunes was the culprit so I uninstalled my iTunes and tried again installing the latest iTunes. But the same error popped up again!
    Now I don't have any itunes, and I dont know where does the previous itunes keep my iPod backup files. I have thousands of apps over there and it would be really frustrating to lose it.
    Someone please help me. Thanks in advance.

    "Package installer error"
    What's the precise text of that error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • CS$ Mac Install error after problems with system

    I have Illustrator CS4 for Mac.  Had system problems and several programs failed to run after re-installing system 10.6.8.  Now all (including PSE) work except for Illustrator.  Have tried to re-install Illustrator, but when the installer finishes, it says, "installation complete with errors.  It suggests re-starting and trying again, which I have done several times.  I have also run the uninstall app and then re-installed.  After quitting the installer, Illustrator will open to the start screen, but clicking on any of the choices or selecting open or new from the file menu results in the program quitting.  I really need this to do my work, and have people waiting for jobs.

    Of course that should say CS4, not CS$.  This is an iMac (late 2006) with System 10.6.8.  There is nothing in any crash or log files that makes sense to me.  Here is the message.
    I have tried a few hints found in other posts for other install issues.  Am still having the same situation.  It starts, but accessing any menu or a choice from the startup screen results in the program quitting.

    Hi All
    First of all I have to say that for the amount of money spent on a software product Adobe's level of support is simple unacceptable.  After spending many hr's on the phone and over 6 calls I gavce up.  Each call the technician started from scratch in trouble shooting and did not even read the ticket info to see what was previously tried.  The last couple of calls after 3 hrs on the phone each time, I was informed that this would be escalated to second and then thrid level support.  Each time I was called back a week later where they left a msg to call back.  When I called back the first person  I talked to was the person again who attempted to trouble shoot the issue and the problem was never escalated   So in the end after about more then 20hrs on the phone, 6 or 7 repeated occasions on the phone with tech support not including the ones where I called and sat on hold for over an hr and gave up, I simply gave up on their support.  Unfortunately this left me with the only option of completely reinstalling OSX.
