Missing required system fonts or cmap files

Hello,

I installed (and uninstalled and reinstalled over and over) InDesign CS2 today (via the full Creative Suite 2 installer), and every time I try to launch it, I get the dreaded "missing required system fonts or cmap files. please reinstall" dialog.

I have read and tried http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/324343.html. I have manually copied in the ZX______.PFM and ZY______.PFM files. I have deleted the AdobeFnt*.lst files, and reinstalled.

Nothing seems to work.

Could someone assist with a solution?

Regards,
Allan

is not working, give the following a try:

It will be working when my webhost gets back online. For some reason they are down at the moment. Working at uploading it to a temporary location at the moment, but my connection seems to be a little shotty too. Hang on.

Is it me or is the link you posted really not working anymore? When I click the link it says that this link could not be displayed..did you removed it?

Adding those files definitely fixed my problem for me, after trying many of the Adobe methods.

Thank you so much Domingo, if you want help hosting those files, if bandwidth becomes an issue, let me know. Your help is greatly appreciated and has releaved so much stress lol.

Thanks to Domingo Chavez! Adobe should be paying you a salary for your expertise on this board! Your suggestion worked like a charm. InDesign is now working fine.

Next...if only I could figure out why I am getting a Runtime Error on Illustrator CS2 when trying to save a file.

Boy...I wish Adobe was more responsive to their customers support needs.

Thanks again Domingo.
