Question

I don't need the thousands of foreign language files. How do I NOT install them?

Why does Adobe insist on barfing thousands of files on the hard drive when many aren't needed by most users.  I'm not saying specific ones aren't needed period.  I just don't have a need for them.  Someone that doesn't speak my language may not need mine.  Why are we forced to fill the drive up with this and what is the method for NOT installing them?

This forum is to discuss the forums, not products, and not installing products

Start at http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa and find the product you have, and ask your question there

But, in general (it has been awhile since I installed CS5 Master Collection, so I don't remember the exact screens) you need to actually read the options on the screen

If you accept the "default" install option, you get just that... if you want a custom install where YOU choose the options, you need to select that and check, or un-check, according to your needs
