Trouble installing CS6 from disc

Hi,
I'm trying to install CS6 from disc onto my Windows Vista 64 bit laptop.  There doesn't seem to be a Setup.exe file?  Has anyone experience this problem and have a solution?
I've tried downloading CS6 from Adobe and enter my serial number from my box.  I get a message stating my serial number is invalid.  Why is that?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you.

According to the Adobe website, CS6 products do not support Vista
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-system-requirements.html#CS6_Design_ Standard_system_requirements
Win XP or 7 (or 8) only.
To run CS6, you'll have to upgrade your operating system or your computer.

  • Trouble installing MacOS from Disc

    I mainly use windows on my imac 2010 and recently the computer all of a sudden took an hour too bootup and was VERY slow to do anything. I tried starting my antivirus but it wouldn't even startup. I thought that the macOS partition would be fine, but it also was in the same situation. I was able to run DiskUtility and I found tat there was nothing wrong with the state of the HDD. I decided to just start over and factory reset and install everything. I then used my macOS install disk and deleted everything on the HDD, once I tried to install with the disk it took a very long time (like 4 hours) then it got stuck at "11 min left", I looked at the error log and it seems to just keep looping on this error "could not get darwin_user_dir, falling back to nstTemporary directory". Could someone please help? Should I reformat my HDD?

    Your hard drive may be failing. One indicator of a failing drive: slow operation on both the Mac and Windows partitions. Another indicator: inability to reinstall OS X from the original installation discs. Disk Utility and even the Apple Hardware Test provide little useful information in a situation such as yours. However, desktop drives typically have a lifespan of 4-5 years, so failure would not be surprising at this point in time.
    You could try to reformat the HDD and reinstall OS X again, though you're likely to hit the same error/timeout road block that tripped you up the first time if the hard drive is failing. So, alternatives:
    -- Replace the hard drive. You'll find good instructions at iFixit.com and OWC (macsales.com). OR . . .
    -- Install OS X (and, if you need it, Windows, too) on an external drive. You'll get best performance by using your fastest port--that is, FireWire 800 rather than USB 2 on a mid 2010 iMac.

  • Installing iWork (from disc) to new Mini

    I'm trying to install iWork '06 from disc on to my new Mac Mini.  I'm using my old iMac as a shared DVD drive, and the Mini can see it, and can see the iWork disc, but when I click on the disc, I get and error that says, "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “iWork ’06” can’t be found."
    What's the workaround here?  I installed Logic from discs in this way, so I know the process works.  How do I the iWorks to install?
    (If Apple would simply let us transfer our retail licenses to the App store, life would be easy.  But no...)

    Time has value. You will likely expend $60 of your personal time trying to arm wrestle with iWork '06, when you could have invested that sum in newly purchased Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from the App Store. And, for a fraction of the time investment.

  • I'm having trouble installing CS6 beta;

    I'm having trouble installing CS6 beta; when I try, it says to close background processes - specifically Bridge, which is NOT open. In fact, I just turned the computer on and tried to install what was dowloaded last night. Any ideas?

    Are you on Mac or windows?
    If you check the Task manager in Win (CTRL+Shift+Esc), or the ForceQuit applications dialog (CMD+Opt+ESC) do you see any Bridge, or other Adobe applications running?

  • Trouble installing CS6 on my mac

    Im having trouble installing CS6 onto my mac. I have tried each way a few times and it isnt downloading, it might get to half way and then it stops. Any ideas?

    What Mac? What version of OSX? What are the specific errors. And clarify whether you actualyl alrteady have successfully downloaded and get stuck on installing or if it's the otehr way around. That false intermingling of terminology is really not helping.

  • I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?

    I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?
    I got the macbook from a friend a few years ago and it already had OSX Lion installed. Whenever it boots from the Snow Leopard disc it says it cannot install from disc. Is there anythingI can do or should I take it to an Apple store to get them to boot OSX Lion for me?

    Insert your Snow Leopard disc and restart, press and hold the C key as soon as you hearthe startup chime, hold C until you see the Apple Logo. When your computer starts up you'll be at the first install screen, choose your language and click the arrow to go to the next screen. This screen has a menu bar, from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility, select your hard drive, this is the one with the manufacturers name or numbers, click the partition tab and then delete any existing partitions by selecting them and clicking the minus. In the drop down box select one partition and click apply. Name your hard drive and click erase. When it's done quit DU and go back to the installer, install Snow Leopard. When the installer is done and the computer is back up and running run Software Update to get to 10.6.8

  • Do I need to unistall CS5 prior to installing CS6 from disk. Thanks

    Do I need to unistall CS5 prior to installing CS6 from disk. Thanks

    Any Adobe Desktop applications don't overwrite the older version while installation. They install in seperate folders. You can Install and use CS5 and CS6 on the same computer, even simultaneously.

  • Trouble installing CS6 (Win) from DVD -- no Set-up.exe on DVD

    I am trying to install my new CS6 (Win) off of DVD. Inserted DVD and nothing happened (no automatic install start). Read PDF instructions which said to click on Set-up.exe file to get things going. Guess what, no Set-up.exe that I could find (not in root directory at least).
    What now?

  • Install CS6 from Clean OS?

    Should CS6 from Creative Cloud be installed on a fresh Mac OS?  I know 5 and 5.5 worked better this way.  I have just got the subscription and was wondering.  Also will Snow Lepoard or Lion run better with this program.  I am a professional user and am finding Lion very slow. I have a Mac Pro 4+TB HD w/ 24G Ram
    Thanks
    Sara

    You should be able to install CS6 on a system with CS5 or CS5.5 installed without issue, but a fresh system is usually easier.
    A newer operating system such as Lion should run 'better' since it is newer, but Snow Leopard is supported for CS6.
    As to Lion being slow on your system I would contact Apple customer support for help. If a particular Adobe program is having an issue on Lion let us know.

  • Trouble Installing CS6

    I have downloaded the trial version of master suit CS6 from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ . When I start installing product, and when the list of programs appear, there is an exclaimanation mark in front of adobe dreamweaver CS6, saying that minimum resolution required is 1200x800, and my laptops maximum resolution is 1366x768. Please help !
    I have HP DV6 3043tx, 15.1 inch laptop.
    current and maximum resolution is 1366x768.

    All other products are getting installed without any problem.

    What Michael said. There is no way to bypass the minimum requirements. you could at best try this with an external monitor plugged on and defined as your primary screen...
