adobe cs2 - please insert disc 2

[Robertw2]

hi all,

trying to install adobe cs2, they come in exe's disc1/disc2/disc3 (see attachment), when i start the install by clicking disc1 exe it installs it and obviously it asks for disc 2 but how do i go about getting it to see disc 2 as when i click ok it doesnt continue with the installation

also, i did extract the disc 2 exe to a folder and from that made it into an iso file and burn it to disc but that didnt work either

cheers,

rob

First run an unistaller like Revo Uninstaller it is free, select everything Adobe it drags up and then follow this procedure!

1. Right-click each file (.exe file)
2. Select Properties then go to the Compatibility tab.
3. Put a check on the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” then select the previous OS which do you think it worked. For your case select Windows XP with Service Pack 3
4. Then under Privilege Level, place a check on “Run this program as administrator”
5. Click Apply then OK.
 
 
ignore disk 1 (we will come back to this)
 
 
Click disk 2 - but change the Save Files in folder destination to
C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\
 
 
be default it goes to the wrong folder of C:\Creative Suite\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\ - This later brings up an error of insert disk 2.
 
 
If it says Unable to create the specified output folder! - just click OK
 
 
Click Next
 
 
---------------------
Click Disk 3 - making sure the address is C:\Creative Suite CS2
 
 
Click Next
 
 
--------------
 
 
Install the Extra Files if you want to
 
 
--------------
 
 
Now Click Disk 1 - Destionation folder - C:\Creative Suite CS2
Ignore Quicktime 6 message
Accept Agreement
Enter Serial - 1130-1414-7569-4457-6613-5551
Now you need to change the location as C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe is not valid
change it to C:\Progra~2\Adobe
 
 
If the next button stays greyed out, click back then go forward with the next button. All should now be good
 
 
Install the entire suite or just the components you require.
 
 
Select Do not Register on drop down on the registration page

It works, I have done it and it works fine on Windows 7

I'm trying to install on Windows 10 and having the same problem. When it asks for Disc 2 and I click on Ok, nothing happens.

Not sure if you've fixed this yet but I had the same issue.  Make sure you right click each file in File Explorer (disk 2 first), click Properties at the bottom of the menu, click Compatibility tab, and change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 3, make sure it's 3 and not 2).  Go back to the file you right clicked in File Explorer and run as Administrator.  Now do these same actions for Disk 3 file next (follow the folder names in the thread above.  VERY important).  Then run Disk 1 last.  It does work but you have to make sure your Compatibility Mode is right and run the files in this order - 2, 3, 1.

CS2 + Acrobat 7 + Audition 3 (AND EARLIER) Activation Server is gone, so read below

.

You MUST use the special version and serial number on the page, not your original disc or serial number

.

NOTE that CS2 will not install at all on a "modern" Mac with an Intel CPU

When you install the special version of CS2 on a Win7 or Win8 or Win10 computer, you MAY need to right click the program icon and select WinXP compatibility from the option popup
