Installation Issues? A Checklist
Many folk seem to have issues, when attempting to install Adobe products. This is a checklist of things to do, prior to attempting to install. It's general, and covers most Adobe programs.
- run as Administrator
- Extract any archived downloaded file, including the FULL folder structure.
- install to C:\ only. You can do custom folders, from the default, but install on C:\. Also few Adobe programs do well with a full network installation.
- turn off all AV, pop-up blockers, spy-sweeping software
- turn off all firewalls, and lower the security settings, if necessary. Look for individual "safeguards," and turn those off - differs by OS
- have plenty of free space on your C:\
- check your OS's language and keyboard language against the language that you are using to install, and also the language that you DO install
- If installing from physical media, and you are having issues, try to Copy your DVD to your computer's HDD, and attempt to install from there.
Good luck,
