Installing CS3, resources and extras?

Hello,

I was lucky enough to be gifted an unused copy of CS3. I've installed installer 1 and 2 disks, and seem to have the complete program. I'd like to install the "resources and extras" but these don't automatically install. What is the best procedure for making use of resources on these disks?

Thank you for any help!

I would not worry about the resources and extras right now. Learn to use the software then when you are ready and understand what can be done with them copy them to your hard drive. Thats right you just copy them.

Buko, thanks.

I've had one semester of "light" training in CS (PS, ID, and Illustrator),

and did quite a bit of work in the iD and PS free download 30-day trials

(cycling over 3 different computers so have added another 90 days that way),

so have used these. I've also produced several products for non profits in

PS and ID. That was both on on programs already installed and on the

downloaded version, which seemed to have more "resources" than I found when

I installed this version on my own system. So I'm just trying to get back

to where I was and move on.

The friend who gave me this program handed me two Adobe CD cases. Each one

contains Installer disks 1 & 2, workshop training video disk, and 2

resources and extras disks.

The case which has the serial numbers (creative suites premium) has the same

disks listed above but ALSO the disks are marked "educator." I wrote to the

friend to ask if these are different, but he's out hiking for the next

week. Since I've only worked on downloaded individual programs and on CS3

already installed, I'm not familiar with what the product looks like -- does

it come in two cases or one?

Might help if you stated what/which CS3 it is... That way, someone could at least point you to the correct forum for an answer...

My question was not about an individual program within CS3, but rather the entire suite install. This is why I didn't go to a specific program forum.

In future, please also post as much info as you can:

Windows / Mac

Which Creative Suite? CS3, CS2, etc. (One your posts mentions CS3 and CS2 in the same breath.) Also, Design, Design Premium, etc., etc.

Go back to the intaller and if it will let you do a Custom install.

when you do a custom install there will be all the items tha can be install the one chec ked by default are the one installed in a normal install to run the applications.

but the might be some unchecked

if so check those and uncheck the one already checked so it just installs what is left off.

In some cases there is an installer in each of the resource folders.

That's not correct. The installer will install the program in the default configuration. In this state it is fully functional

The "goodies folder" contains a whole load of different things, from discontinued plug-ins to Registry hacks, and some Stock Photos.

Each of these can be installed manually, at the user's discretion. None of them are necessary and most people don't need them.

Notice I said See if there is a Custom installer.

Many applications Have a Standard install, that installs just enough to make the application work for most people. Then they have a Custom Installer to install all the bells and whistles. Others the "goodies" have theiir own installer. Then some are like you describe You have to figure out on your own what you want to install and where.

And your right in most cases what's installed by the standard installer. usually is suficient for the majority of people.

I tend to be one of those types that do the full install to install every bell and whistle there is, I never know when I might need the feature that's added.
