Hello. I can not install Adobe Creative Suite CS2 previously downloaded from the Adobe website (3 disks). The entire installation is successful, but the destination folder after installation is empty. Operating system Windows 8.1, 32-bit. Any suggestions?

    Ok, I am sorry Grz2609, but we did not start including installation logs until Creative Suite 3.  Creative Suite 2 was never designed to work under Windows 8.1 so you may just not be able to install on such a modern operating system.

    You may want to consider backing up any necessary files, formatting the hard drive, and reinstalling Windows 8.1, to give you the best possibilities to install Creative Suite 2 on Windows 8.1


    Dear Jeff. Thank you very much for the help that you have even got interested in my case, despite the fact that this software is really very old. I came back to Windows 7, the whole package works great. I would like to thank all those who participated in this topic. I wanted to raise one more thing. A person with a forum login: Adobe Sarah Horowitz tried to get my phone number and login skype from me. I thought it was someone from Adobe support and gave my login. A strange person connected to me and tried to steal my email and password to Adobe's account from me. I think that this person should be removed from the forum or blocked.

    Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in newer Windows

    -RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

    -or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... this says Encore, but is sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account) so follow the instructions for your specific program

    Hi Grz2609,

    As you have mentioned you are unable to install Adobe CS2.

    Please confirm if you have download the special installers given here: Download Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 2 products , to download and install the product?

    If not then I would recommend giving it a try and share the results.
