Uninstall InDesign CS2

Hi
Can anyone please advise as to how manually uninstall InDesign CS2 and Version Cue CS2 on a mac? Adobe help gives instruction to uninstall Creative Suite CS2 wholesale in this link:
Manually remove Adobe Creative Suite (2.x on Mac OS X)
and gives a huge list of files to remove, like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. How does one determine which files are required to keep for other things, like stuff for later CS versions?
Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.
Many thanks.

I didn't say that the document is incorrect. But it seems to instruct you how to delete the whole CS2 suite and in particular the sub files/folders relating to the suite. The only note it gives regarding these sub files/folders is that anything with an asterisk next to the folder in the list might be required by other applications, and it only pertains to the Application Support in the User's Library and the Application Support in Library. There is also reminder to keep an eye on fonts required.
However, if you want to keep, say, CS2 Illustrator, but not CS2 InDesign, how do you determine which of the sub files/folders the document lists to trash are necessary to keep for that individual program's requirement? For instance, I assume (even if wrongly) that some of the files such as Application/Adobe Help Centre, Application/Utilities/Adobe Utilities and other cache and preference folders are still required to run CS2 Illustrator.
It might be a very straight forward albeit methodical task to go through dumping folders and files listed, but I'm just being very cautious in finding out earlier rather than later, what NOT to throw away in case it may cause problems once the files are dumped. I don't mean to cause offense!

  • Help with uninstalling InDesign CS2

    A month ago, I installed CS4 over CS2.
    Then, InDesign CS4 did not work because of the conflict with AMD chip in my computer. So, uisng the original CS2 disk, all programs were uninstalled EXCEPT FOR INDESIGN CS2. The reason is that I wanted to use InDesign CS2 until the problem with CS4 is fixed.
    Today, after installing InDesign CS4 update (it was a sort of plug), InDesign became working just fine. So I want to remove InDesign CS2. The problem was that I was not able to remove InDesign CS2 by Add or Remove Programs or with the original CS2 disk.
    Please advise me how to uninstall InDesign CS2. In

  • Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

    I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
    When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"  If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
    I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
    I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
    Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
    What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
    Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
    [Edit]
    Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
    I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.

  • Error message reads, " Wizard Interuppted before InDesign CS2 was comletely installed" when removing

    Adobe Tech Support no longer supports CS2 since the release of CS4 and has referred me to knowledgebase and the forum for help.
    This is my original problem:
    When you try to start Adobe InDesign CS2, or Adobe InCopy CS2, the application returns one of the following error messages:
    -- "Could not personalize your copy of [application] because of missing or invalid personalization information."
    -- "Please personalize your copy of [application] to continue the setup process."
    -- "The serial number you provided is not valid. Please check your serial number and re-enter it"
    I was referred to:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331649
    The instructions for all methods require that I remove InDesign, but I get an error message that says "Wizard Interuppted before InDesign CS2 was completely installed" when removing.
    My OS is Windows XP. Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Step one is to back up your computer in case anything goes wrong.
    Once you've done that, look at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331300 which lists all the folder locations for the creative suite along with the registry keys. It says you should uninstall using ad/remove, but if this doesn't work it should be OK to remove things manually and edit the registry, then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
    At that point you should reboot and you should be able to try installing again.

  • InDesign CS2 on Intel PowerMac?

    Can you install InDesign CS2 on an Intel PowerMac running 10.4.11? My installer for CS2 is gray. I also have CS3 and CS4 already installed.

    I believe you can.
    I have ID2, CS, CS2 and CS4 installed on an Intel Mac running 10.5.8, and had ID2, CS, and CS2 installed on 10.4.11 on an G4 Mac.
    BUT, I believe you have to install them in order.
    So, if it is worth the trouble, you would need to deactivate CS4 and CS3. Uninstall. Probably run the clean scripts. Then start reinstalling with CS2, then CS3, then CS4.

  • Upgrading Indesign CS2 to CS4 on second hand G5

    Hi. I've just bought a second hand G5 from an auction. It has a working Indesign CS2 loaded but I don't know if its legal. A 20 digit number appears in the 'About Indesign' pane. I'm guessing this is the serial number. Is this correct? I would like to buy an upgrade to Indesign CS4 but I'm worried it won't install. Can anyone give advice on how I find out if my CS2 will accept the upgrade. I have my own boxed version of Indesign Design Collection with ID2.0 but unfortunately I dont think I can upgrade from that version at all.
    Thanks for any advice. Deb.

    > It has a working Indesign CS2 loaded but I don't know if its legal.
    It's not. In order to be legal, the seller must fill out a license
    transfer form and send it to Adobe. Absent that, legally, you should
    uninstall it.

  • Font issue in Indesign CS2

    Hi. I just received a new computer and although I have not had any issues with the Palatino Adobe font in the past, for some reason it no longer displays properly (pinked out).  I have uninstalled the font through Adobe Type manager, checked my PS Font folder to make sure there are no Palatino fonts (either True Type, Open Type or Adobe) left in that folder and then reinstalled the font. I then rebooted my computer and although I went through these steps and the only Palatino font on my computer now is an Adobe one, In Design still cannot read the font. I then opened up MS Word, Photoshop, and Illustrator to see if I could access the Palatino font, and I had no issues at all. It seems it's only the In Design program that has an issue reading the font.
    Any suggestions at all would be most welcomed because this is the main font that our company uses and my job depends on it.
    Thanks,
    Colourss

    I had similar issue with Helvetica Medium and Bold fonts. All other variants of Helvetica were displayed nicely in Indesign CS2, but those two were missing. Indesign CS3 was able to display all the fonts correctly. I tried deleting the AdobeFntXX.lst files and uninstalling fonts, copying into different directories, but nothing helped with CS2. Finally I started tweaking the AdobeFntXX.lst file under Fonts folder in the Indesign CS2 installation directoty and got the Medium and Bold fonts working.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Removed problematic fonts from ATM and Windows fonts folder
    2. Copied fonts into Fonts folder under CS2 installation directory
    3. Deleted AdobeFntXX.lst file under Fonts directory
    4. Started InDesign CS2, so new AdobeFntXX.lst file were generated
    5. Edited the AdobeFntlstXX.lst file as follows:
    For Helvetica bold font I replaced dash in the font name with whitespace:
    FontName:Helvetica-Bold   ->   FontName:Helvetica Bold
    For Helvetica Medium font I added text "Medium" to the font name:
    FontName:Helvetica   ->   FontName:Helvetica Medium
    After these changes InDesign CS2 started to display both fonts. I guess it has something to do with font familynames or something like that.
    I know this is not exactly same case as yours, but hopefully it can help you to find the resolution.

  • "SignalNthResponder(): error code not reset" upon opening Indesign CS2 Debug

    I've been using InDesign CS2 Debug (with IDCS2_Updater_Roman_Debug_2.exe file version 4.1.100.1332 applied) on Windows XP for several months with no problems, but lately I've been getting the following sequence of errors upon opening InDesign, which causes InDesign to shutdown. It also occurs before code flow even reaches the constructor for my plug-in so I have no idea what is causing it.
    1. (ASSERT) SignalMgr::SignalNthResponder(): error code not reset
    2. (ASSERT) Putting up an alert when the global error state is not kSuccess can cause crashes if a command is fired while the alert is up! Try moving call to ErrorUtils::PMSetGlobalErrorCode(kSuccess) to before call to CAlert::ErrorAlert.
    3. (Adobe InDesign) Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents.
    4. (ASSERT) ProtectiveShutdown - Debugger break
    5. Then it shuts down.
    But of course restarting InDesign only repeats these messages. Restarting the computer does nothing to help. The only way I have found to alleviate the problem is to uninstall and reinstall InDesign Debug. But then after using InDesign Debug for a couple of days without problems, this sequence reappears. Anyone know how to end this vicious cycle?
    Thanks,

  • Uninstalling/reinstalling CS2

    I recen'ty got a new machine and ran into the activation issues with older versions of the Suite. I have CS5, but need to run Photoshop CS2 as well for the screening features in the output end of things that were removed from 5 & 6.
    I found the link to the new download of the suite that Adobe provided for the new activation process of CS2 but ran into uninstall problems with the version I installed from disk. When I try to install from the download, it detects Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on my machine despite uninstalling them. The "uninstaller" failed to work, so I went throught the manual uninstallation including the registry edits but the CS2 installer still detects Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 as installed.
    FWIW I am running Win 7 64 bit and the CS5 Suite as well. I simply need to keep a working version of Photoshop CS2 in addition to that for my output necessities. Unfortunately this is not a problem I can solve by simply upgrading software as the feature no longer exists in the newer versions. The last version that supported line screen & angle control was CS4, which I do not own because I jumped from CS2 to CS5.  Any advice on how to find and remove the previous CS2 install information that the new installer is detecting would save me a lot of grief as at this point I am out of ideas except reformatting and starting from scratch.

    I just found this - however (understanding the risk) have no idea how to
    implement it. Can you point me in the right direcion. I know about
    registry edits but this appears to be an automated script of some sort.

  • How can I activate Indesign CS2 Dutch?

    I contacted the helpdesk and they gave me a link to a workaround. On that page I can choose English version, when I select this I see a link to Indesign CS2 among others. But I need the Dutch (Nederlands) version; when I choose Dutch, I can only download the workaround for Acrobat Pro 7.0 or Standard 7.0, there is also a (broken) link to Acrobat Pro 8.0. And no link at all to Indesign CS 2. Helpdesk says they can't help me, but my original version can't be activated anymore and I don't get an alternative?! So I can only use my official licence for 30 days (new policy since dec 13th) what can I do?

  • [CS2 Win] "A buffer overrun has been detected..." on startup of InDesign CS2 Debug

    Installed InDesign CS2 Debug on a completely new machine but it failed to launch.
    The message occurs while "Executing startup services..."
    I get a "Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library" window with the message "A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue and must now be terminated".
    My only other installations performed before this were Visual Studio NET 2003 and Adobe InDesign SDK.
    I've seen two threads in the forum about this problem and wondered if anyone got the solution.
    Especially since someone appears to have opened a support case about this issue.
    The archived threads are:
    Buffer Overrun Error In InDesign Debug Version
    "A buffer overrun has been detected..." CS2 debug
    Hopefully someone can help me with this.
    I've now uninstalled and re-installed Indesign, InCopy & the InDesign SDK several times trying to get around this.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    - Jackeen.

    Jackeen,
    You probably have corrupted preferences on the "troublesome" user. Each user has his/her own ones - including "lost" files, etc. and they can become corrupted.
    A couple days ago I was "fighting" a similarly strange problem - a crash on closing a document - only to have it disappear after the preferences were reset automatically at some point (as seen because palettes, etc. returned to their "default" place.

  • InDesign CS2 won't open: error msg states "Please install the MetaData plug-in and restart"

    I'm unable to open my InDesign CS2 program, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. When I try to open it, I get an error message stating: "Cannot load Adobe InDesign CS2 because it requires MetaData. Please install the MetaData plug-in and restart Adobe InDesign."
    It worked just fine last week - I have no idea what happened this week... (other than my 3-yr-old 'playing' with my computer...) I am able to open other CS2 programs like Illustrator and Photoshop. Any ideas for me??

    Try trashing your preferences: Hold down Shift + Control + Option + Command immediately after launch. You'll get a dialog asking if you want to delete your preferences. If no dialog comes up you didn't do it fast enough.

  • Text wrap in InDesign cs2

  • Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2 not starting - here is how it was solved.

    This document is merely a compilation of information found at the sources named at the bottom of this document.
    Basically running older Adobe CS2 Software on a MacBook Pro 10.6.x Snow Leopard - probably like many of you that either can't afford the upgrade to CS3, CS4 or CS5, or maybe don't see the need to do so.  It's running good but it is slow since it is using Rosetta, but it does work - well, used to work.
    Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, etc. were all running fine after the upgrade to Snow Leopard (under 10.6, 10.6.1 and 10.6.2).  Then the update to 10.6.3 was installed.  At the same time a bunch of other updates - including the Acrobat 8.2 update - were installed.  Not really sure what did it, but all of a sudden Illustrator CS2 stopped responding at the start up screen - no longer started up and InDesign CS2 popped the registration/licensing screen.  When trying to enter license info on first key press the application quit entirely.
    So maybe the 10.6.3 update was the culprit.  Never even thought that it could be the Acrobat 8.2/8.2.1 updates.  Then I found this thread here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/613287?tstart=0 (good reading)
    Which ultimately pointed me the the instructions here:
    >start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468.html
    Replace the corresponding files present in the “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/” folder with the one attached to this document.
    Download the attached Mac.dmg (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468/attachments/Mac.dmg) file to a machine where the issue is seen.
    Close all Adobe applications
    Double Click the Mac.dmg file to mount it.
    Copy Mac folder from mounted image. Paste it to /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/.
    A message appears to confirm to replace the existing 'Mac' folder. Replace the 'Mac' folder.
    Launch Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
    The Mac folder attached to this KB document already has the correct permissions set, so it should not be necessary to complete the steps below. However there may be cases where the permissions for the Mac folder get overwritten. In such a case, the original issue can reoccur. To solve this issue, complete the steps below:
    Follow Solution 1 and make sure that all Adobe applications are closed.
    Right or Control click and select 'Get Info' on the Mac folder  in “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/”, which you have copied from the .dmg file attached to this document.
    Verify that under 'Sharing and Permissions' all users listed have no write access
    If a change is required, click the padlock symbol and provide your Administrator credentials
    Select the user which has Write access and change it to 'Read Only'.
    Ensure the user 'Everyone' is set to 'No Access.
    To check if the issue has been solved, launch Acrobat 8.2 and then Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
    < end quote
    Even after following the instructions still "no love" from Illustrator CS2 or InDesign CS2.  InDesign did no longer show the registration screen, but it didn't continue launching, and Illustrator progressed further along in the start up sequence but also never finished launching.
    Then I found another article on the adobe site.  I am just quoting the part performed  and which ultimately did the trick.
    >start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/326/326388.html
    Steps 1 and 2 are not relevant so no need to do them
    3. At the Finder, choose File > Find.
    4. TypeAdobeFnt10.lst (Illustrator CS2), select the system drive, and then press Return.
    5. Delete all AdobeFnt10.lst files found.
    6. Restart the computer.
    7. Restart Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new Adobefnt10.lst or AdobeFnt07.lst file.
    < end quote
    So, this solved the problems at least for the time being.  Hope this helps someone else a bit.

    Illustrator CS2 stopped working for me on Snow Leopard as well. What it all boiled down to was not to update to 12.0.1. Not sure which release of Snow Leopard I was on when I figured that out but I keep up-to-date, am now at 10.6.6 and CS2 still works fine. I keep getting prompted to update to 12.0.1 from time to time but just cancel it.
    I'm fairly sure I was at 12.0.1 already when I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it was that, not a Snow Leopard update, that "broke" CS2 12.0.1. If I remember correctly, if you now try to apply the update, it won't go through with it anyway.
