Seeking to re-install CS2 again

I have a legitimate version of CS2 on my Mac (2005) which I had to uninstall. Can someone point me to link where I could download the same version again. I know that Adobe does not provide updates or support for CS2 but I am sure they would allow previous legitimate owners of the program to re-download if necessary. I have the product key and have the product registered in my account on Adobe.com

Installing CS2 Into Windows 7

Has anyone successfully installed CS2 into Windows 7? I've tried to install, but keep getting told that the serial number is incorrect when I know that not to be the case.
Thanks in advance.

I am glad I read your response, Bob.
I too had the same problem. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried loading CS2 on our new system but mistakingly entered MY name instead of my wife's registered name, and CS2 refused to run. But up to that point it appeared it -might- have been able to run successfully. That was Problem Number-1.
Here's Problem Number-2: Upon atempting to un-install the CS2 program the following message appeared: "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information, Missing Resources Library." What could be worst? I can't even un-install the software!!!
I called Adobe and was dumb-struct at being informed "...we don't support CS2 anymore"! That, in my opinion, is absolutely foolish and non-scenseical on their part because in the least, they could have supported me and prepped me to upgreade and purchase CS3 or 4.
I also tried to re-install CS2, again, on top of its un-installable condition and got the same message as above "Missing or Invalid.... " And so I remain stuck, three (3) months now without a clue as what to do to get out of this conditon.
I even -manually- deleated as many files as I could in the CS2 Programs File directory in an attempt to get some of the "nay-sayers" un-install obsticals out of the way but, I still can't remove the program, nor re-install over it.
I was able to load CS2 into Window 7's Virtual PC mode. But it can not run there as efficiently as I imagine it might in Programs (x86), or in 64 bit mode if it were indeed possible.
I refuse to believe that I alone, out of millions of CS2 users, am in this problem alone.
I need help Abode! I need help with this Bob! I need help from anyone who can help me get out of this mess. Thank you.

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.

I cannot install CS2 or 3 on my MacBook

Hello,
I have an old PowerBook 1.25GHz that I had both cs2 and CS3 on, I just was given a barley used MacBook and proceeded to install CS2 first as I could not find he CS3 disk. It installed Photoshop and illustrator ok but did not install indesign. Then I found the cs3 disc so I tried to install that, everything went fine until it got to a certain point and and would not install more than acrobat and a few non essential programs. I tried everything to get it to work, finally decided to copy disc to desk top and do an install from my desktop, it would not copy, again to a certain point. I found the file I think it causing problems and did not copy it over but I cannot install now. When I click the install nothing happens.
Any suggestions?

Same here...I just got my new iPhone 6, I can't get my iPhone to update on itself. (Thought it was an internet issue)
So I used iTunes to download the firmware, and start updaing.
It seems promising at first but then sutck on "Error 6", I think the service is down maybe?
Now my iphone can't reboot...can't retore either

How to install CS2 when already have CS PS4, 5, LR2 & Reader 9?

Feb 28, 2010- I had CS2 Premium on my old laptop. I'd updated to PS 3 and then to PS 4 (standard). Then my LT crashed. I now have a desktop: Quad processer, 64-bit, 8 GB ram, two hard drives (C: 1 TB and D: 2 TB).
I've installed PS 4 & 5, Reader 9 and Lightroom 2, and now find I need InDesign for a newsletter.
How can I install all of the CS2 Premium files (except PS) without damaging my current Adobe program files? CS 2 came on four discs, with two "Extras", so I can't tell which ones have which program.
Thanks in advance.

From: <[email protected]> | Adobe STRONGLY recommends that you DO NOT not have Acrobat and Reader installed on the | same system. If you have just Acrobat installed, it will perform all the functions | Reader does and much more. Therefore, you should uninstall Reader, install Acrobat, and | DO NOT install Reader again. | Ken F. Not to mention that nobody should be using Adobe Reader v7.x do to all the vulnerabilities in it that are *actively* being exploited ! -- Dave

Can i skip installing CS2 if i have upgrade to CS5.5?

Ihave CS2 and CS5.5 upgrade discs. Now i have new PC with win8 and my old registrationd on CS2 doesnt work anymore. I have to download all the files for th CS2 again, installit with the provided serial number and then upgrade to cs5.5 or is there a way i ca upgrade directli without even activating the CS2? I want to avoid downloading CS2 all over again since i have it on discs.
thanks
M:P

Hi Michael,
Have you tried installing the CS5.5 first ? Once you are installing the product, it would ask you for the previous version serial number and then you can enter the CS2 serial number and that should do the job.

Installing CS2 as a download

I am installing CS2 as downloaded files, at the end of the first file it asks for CD2. Even though all three downloaded files are in the same folder it is not seeing the next file. My only options are ok or quit, ok only asks again for the cd.
Has anyone any ideas how to proceed other than burning the files to disc?

SteveV this question has been discussed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856. In specific:
Extraction instructions
If you are receiving a message to insert disc two please see the following extraction instructions:
In the English version of the software the file CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2 extracts to C:\Creative Suite\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\. CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1 and CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3 both extract to C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\.
Please copy the contents of the C:\Creative Suite\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\ folder to the C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\ folder and you will no longer be prompted to insert disc two.

Can't Install CS2 Properly on WXP SP3

Hi All,
I recently bought Windows 7 and Adobe CS4 through my school's bookstore, well a few months ago. Before wiping out my XP install I made sure to do the "de-activiation" and for good measure, I even uninstalled CS2 (not sure if I really needed to but I did)... I installed Win7 (formatting the hdd) and CS4 and that is all working great... Now, a few months later, I'm attempting to install my old CS2 install on another computer of mine (WXP SP3). When I start the install, everything seems to work as expected until it shows the progress bar where it shows the progress of the install... Disc 1 finishes in about 2 seconds and prompts me for disc 2, again, 2 seconds later prompts me for disc 3, and finally again 2 seconds later prompts me for disc 4. Nothing is getting installed except for the "shared components"...
Why is it doing this? and what can I do to troubleshoot this?
I've copied all four discs to a folder on C: and tried the install from thier with the same results (minus the prompting for discs)...
Thanks for your help,
Justin

Michael - I've purchased full licenses of both CS2 (several years ago) and CS4 (just a few months ago) from my college bookstore. It is not an upgrade. It is a full academic license. I am attempting to install CS2 on another computer I own. I am not violating any terms of service. So now back to my problem.
No Adobe products (except Adobe reader) or trials have been installed on this computer...
I've search through the Adobe KB and have tried the following with no success...
1) My specific problem is mention in this "Troubleshoot installation problems (Adobe Creative Suite 2.x on Mac OS X)" document... But I'm not using Mac OS... so this leads me to believe that this is a known issue by Adobe???
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331299.html
2) The windows equivilant document "Troubleshoot installation problems (Adobe Creative Suite 2.x on Windows)" doesn't mention my specific problem, but I walked through all the steps anyways, but nothing resolved this issue.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331298.html
3) Also linked in the above KB article is a "Manually remove Adobe Creative Suite 2.x (Windows)" document that I've followed but none of the folders, files, or registry entries that this documents says to remove exist on my computer...
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331300.html
Has anyone run into this issue with CS2 running through the entire install in a matter of seconds? and/or anyone have some troubleshooting steps that I could try next???
Thank You for your help,
Justin

I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
Thank you.
-Kait
My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

NEW TO THE FORUM NEED HELP INSTALLING CS2

I just bought an older version of CS2 for Mac from the original owner and when I tried to install it the software is no longer supported by my Mac. Can I install CS2 on a new Mac? And if so how, I have all the cds and the registration number. The original owner no longer has a Mac and can not use it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can only run CS2 on Macs running OSX 10.6 or earlier. It won't work on newer Macs using Lion or Mountain Lion (OS 10.7 and 10.8).

Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes and then install iTunes again. Error 2. After this I

So when I plugged in my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4), iTunes told me it needed to update to the newest version... so I did. After installing it it gave me an error (-45019) that said that a required component wasn't installed. I looked it up and people were saying to unistall iTunes and all apple related software and reinstall itunes which i did. I am on Windows 8.1.
Now it gives me this error. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please unistall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows Error 2)." I did this and it gave me the same message... Please help! How do i get iTunes running again?

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

you can download a new installer and serial number from Adobe at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

I am trying to install CS2 but I receive a message that my serial number is invalid.

I have been trying to install CS2 on Win XP. (My old laptop died, I still have the original disks, serial #, etc. but was unable to use because of the activation problem). I downloaded all the files from the website referenced above and tried to follow the instructions here and in the pdf. However the files that downloaded to my computer did not have the names that are mentioned in the pdf. The files that downloaded were called CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3, CS2.0_WWE_Extras_1 and VCS2. Also, I was never given an option to "install later".
However I was able to "extract" the files. They extracted into different folders, and after reading through this whole thread I was able to move the files around in the folders until they look like those in message 123 later in this thread that pictures all of the files that should be in a folder together (mine are in C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0).
However I still can't get it to work. If I try to run the installer in any of the programs (for example Photoshop or Illustrator), when I enter the serial number given on the website I get the message that the serial number is not valid.
Help!!
Thanks!

Thanks very much. Yes, I am using the installer files and serial number from the URL you referenced above. I have spent many hours trying to get it to work. I would love some help!!
The problem is that the instructions that come in the pdf with the downloaded files do not work, because the files that download from that page do not have the names referred to in the pdf, and most of the things that are referred to in the instructions do not happen. Here is what actually happened.
When I downloaded the files from the website, these are the files that downloaded:
I double-clicked each one and they extracted into two different folders.
Then I read a message on the forum that said to move all the extractred files into the same folder, so I moved all files into one file at C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 as was pictured in the forum message. Here are screen shots showing all of the files in that folder I have now:
So then I double clicked the "Setup" file and I got this error message:
So then I tried to install the programs separately from the installer inside the folders Photoshop and Illustrator. I got this far and entered the serial number from the website:
But then I got this error message, even though I was using the files and serial number exactly from the website:
I tried both photoshop and illustrator and the same thing happened.
(I also looked at Solution 2 that you mentioned above but I don't have anything called VCOM on the computer. Also the error message that I got is not that one.)
I think I really need a set of instructions that lists the steps in order to do, but based on the files that actually download from the website and what happens when you extract the files. I feel as if I have all of the proper files but it still doesn't work.
Thank you very much!
