CS2 Installation failure due to missing file

[Enrst]

I had downloaded Photoshop CS2. It installed up to within a minute of completion, then stalled. The message read: "Required file missing. Step failed: run postflight script for Photoshop CS2."

What's missing and how/where do I get it?

Thanks

Hi Enrst,

Please find the system requirement to install CS2: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html#main_Older_Vers... .

If your machine meets the system requirements for installing CS2 then kindly download CS2 from the mentioned link : https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads and try installing again.

Well, I tried it once again. Perhaps I am an idiot? The requirements for the OS end at 10.3.8.

I am using 10.5.8, and CS2 ran on it just fine till my hard drive crashed. Is this the problem?

Maybe I should D/L Creative Suite instead of Photoshop CS2.

Hi Enrst,

Download CS2 from the above mentioned link and try installing from the user account with admin privilage. Please let us know whether it worked.

Sorry, friend, what does "installing from the user account with admin privileges" mean? Would you kindly clarify that for this old timer? Around age 70 the brain is always in a "near death" position.

What I mean to say is you should have admin privilage to install the software.

Well, the computer I'm trying to install CS2 on is in my living room (I've owned it for many years) and when my Mac asks for my password I give it. Then my story becomes a repeat -- at one minute to finishing it stalls.

Where to from here?
