You. Are. A. Life. Saver.

I know this was posted a long time ago, but I just now bumped into this issue and your solution worked beautifully (after many personal failed attempts). CS2 won’t be on this machine for long, but until CS4 comes in, I have to use it on the new machine. Thanks again!

I’m glad I’ll be able to run my CS2 on the new computer I’m getting but I am curious to know if any of you are also running Macromedia Studio 8 as well… I am running it currently with my CS2 and am curious if the shortcut you gave here will work for it as well.

thanks

Thank you so much. I was stunned when Adobe just blew me off. “Sorry we only support cs3 and cs4.” I appreciate you providing this fix!

Fear not!
You have to type in the path yourself – copy it off the blogpost and paste in right into the textbox where the path goes.
I’ve experienced that the installation does not allow me to go further (it leaves the next button disabled).
This is fixed by clicking on the browse button, then pushing cancel (or “Annuller” as I imagine it would be with danish locale).

So, in short: Type in the path manually / paste it in there, press Browse (“Gennemse” or “Søg” in danish?) then “Annuller”).

Let me know if it works!

Never spoke with anyone at Adobe, luckily. Guess I would’ve given up myself then.

Hm, no, it works here.
Just ran it as I had a clean install

Could it be that your firewall is blocking it?

Thank you!!! Holy Smokes am I glad I found this site!! I have uninstalled and reinstalled CS2 about 5 times trying to get it to work. Finally found your advice, and it worked. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Good thing you’re not in the room or I’d give you a big bear hug. I’ve never been so frustrated with Adobe.
Your Answer = Utilize software that was already purchased
Adobe Answer = BUY our new software for just $799 (that’s the discounted price :O)

I’m not too thrilled with Adobe on this. I even talked to a supervisor– he suggested I buy new. Adobe is VERY unethical on this one. You know they have the solution, but instead, are more concerned about hard selling.

Total time spent installing CS2 on Windows 7– about 6 hours, no joke. Your solution took no more than 12 minutes, and worked.

Thanks! ( B e a r H u g ) to you… and a little birdie to Adobe,

amazing. my only question is how did you convince adobe to give you this info… 3 different employees gave me the run-around and tried to convince me to upgrade rather than giving this very simple explanation.

thanks!
