Where to install CS2?

[jazzdoc]

I followed directions and downloaded CS2 (which I previously could not activate).  However, Windows 7 will not let me install it in c/program files or c/program files (x86); the message says that it has symbols that apparently cannot be read.  So, where can I install it?  Bob

did you download an exe file or a dmg file?

if an exe file, attach a screenshot of the error message.

Yes, it was an .exe file.  Screenshot attached.  Thanks, kglad!

Thanks again, kglad; your link was helpful as far as it went. When the installation asked for disc 2, I didn't know what to do. I was able to install some of what I downloaded, but some of the the applications would not accept the serial number I got from your link. I'm probably going to have to pay to update the product...

I guess we got into trouble for the screen shot...!

all the extracted files should be in the same directory.  by default, one of the compressed files (i think for disc2) extracts in a different directory so have it extract into the same directory as the compressed disc1 file.

p.s.  what trouble re the ss??
