I have a CD for my CS6 and it is installed on one of my computers. However on my new computer that has a Windows 10 platform it will recognize the disk but won't do anything when I select to install it. Why?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Cloud & Win10 https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/Windows_10_compatibility_FAQ.html

-Also, only current products will be tested and updated for compatibility with Windows 10

-you may get CS6 and earlier programs to install and run, or you may not (some do, some don't)

An idea that may work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10... works for some, not for others

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395

to assign full permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for all Adobe programs

Does CS6 work with Windows 10?

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10
-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

I found a 2016 version of PDApp.exe on my system drive. I renamed it to PDAp.exe.

I merged the contents of CS6 DVD's Disk 1 and Disk 2 to a local hard drive and ran:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE.old\PDApp\core>PDap --media="d:\CS6\Adobe CS6" --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="2.0" --requiredSize=101794

Worked!! Thanks to all the above poster!!!

Nothing worked with me until in Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Security -> Device Security -> Core Isolation,
I disabled Memory Integrity.
After installation, I enabled Memory Integrity again and Photoshop still runs. 🙂

(Program Compatibility Assistant Service stopped and Application Compatibility settings in gpedit in place at that moment, but those settings were probably not needed)
