Adobe Illustrator: Download CS

I had the old Creative Suite on my computer and now I just downloaded part of it using this link Download Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 2 products.  I clicked on the link for the 1st disc, after that installed, I went on w/the second link for disc2 and so on. After all were installed,  I saw the icon for Creative Suite and clicked on it.  It was asking me to insert disc 2 to continue.  I already downloaded all from the links but somehow even though the system indicated that I had all three installed, I have only photoshop and it's elements, no Illustrator.  How do I get Illustrator?

    Regina,

    If we are talking CS2, the right download page is here, for those with legal ownership:

    Note: If you have the CS2 Premium Suite version, you will have to download the Standard, and then download Acrobat and GoLive separately under their own replacement serial numbers.

    GoLive 9 can be downloaded with the relevant link in the first post by Herbert here:

    Thank you for your note.  I do have legal ownership.  I uninstalled the software from my control panel and any icons I have on my pc.  However, when I start installing the 1st disk, I get this.  I don't know where else the program would be if it's uninstalled.  Please let me know.

    Officially CS2 is end of life.

    The people in this forum (and this includes me) are 90% not Adobe staff. We are just users as you are.

    I have never installed that thing on a PC.

    So don't know how it is supposed to work.

    Can you first mount all the disks and then launch the installer?

    Is there a read me file and did you read it?

    This is the Read Me:

    Hello, I found the instructions on what to do when the system keeps asking to insert a disc, which I don't have.  I have no idea how to proceed but my brother in law might.  Thank you.

    Which system?

    You downloaded it from the Adobe website?
