Can't install any Adobe app on Tiny11

[KwiatekMiki]

I upgraded today to Tiny11 but I can't download any Adobe application.

I tried installing the installer again like 5 times. Please help.

what's tiny11?

Based off of Windows 11 Pro 22H2, tiny11 has everything you need for a comfortable computing experience without the bloat and clutter of a standard Windows installation. It just uses around 8GB of space compared to the 20+GB that a standard installation does. You can upgrade from Windows 10 and install it on unsupported devices.

To put it another way: 

"Tiny11 is a lightweight version of the Windows 11 operating system created by an independent developer NTDEV. The main idea behind this project is to make Windows 11 run on low-spec computers and bypass the TPM and Secure Boot requirements."

https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-tiny11-guide/

It's a fun proof-of-concept created by an independent developer to prove that Windows 11 a) is full of bloat, and b) can be stripped down to run on ultra-low end computers.

It succeeds in its aim admirably but it's not Windows 11, just looks like it. More like Win 11 meets Linux. There is no way that it will install or run any Adobe software. Too much has been stripped out of Windows which is crucial for Adobe software to install and run. Perhaps contact the developer and ask for a version ("Slightly Bigger Than Tiny 11"?) which will run Adobe software.

Nice idea though.

 It's interesting that we haven't heard this before. But it's worth mentioning that Creative Cloud is heavyweight professional software, with lots and lots of apps and disk space. This means that it can't possibly run on the "low spec computer" that Tiny11 is written for. Also, it states it bypasses TPM and Secure Boot - this means it has deleted things that Microsoft consider required - and Adobe are entitled to assume that the system has all the stuff Microsoft put in it. It's like a surgeon taking out non-vital organs because he can't see any need for them...

i'd never heard of tiny11 before and i can't see why anyone would use it, other than on a virtual machine.

I use Tiny11, facing similar issue. More optimized for Gaming especially due to reducing amount of services being used etc.

@domg69195188 

tiny11 doesn't meet adobe specs.

Read system requirements carefully. It says Windows 11, doesn't say Tiny11. Game over.

[domg69195188]

However, there is a version of Windows very similar to Tiny11 but has a
little more to it. Youtube "Tech YES City" has a video about it and can be
used to download Adobe applications.

go for it. let us know if you were successful and, if so, the os name.
