I can go through the installation procedure to the point when I've switched to the 2nd DVD. Setup resumes and a few seconds later states that no application was installed.
I'm adding Captivate to my initial installation of FM9, Acrobat9 and Photoshop. I'm not uninstalling them first. Should I? Why?
The initial installation was a year ago. The OS is Windows 7.
TIA

Captivate's been part of the TCS since version 1 - what versions were you starting from and going to? I'm not familiar with installing TCS over point product components - you may have to deactivate them, uninstall them, and reactivate.

TCS 2.0 (including FM9). I'm not starting from or going to any version.
I'm adding the application to the existing installation, not upgrading.
If I were upgrading, I'd deactivate, uninstall and reactivate. In my
case, I could see going for the reinstall option, but have FrameMaker
plugins that I don't want to reinstall as well. I admit that I may have
to though.
Thanks for you answer.
Best regards,
Douglas

So you already have TCS2 but didn't install the full suite the first time around? So now you just want to add Captivate? I believe in that case you just select it off the list. The installer skips all the ones that you haven't selected and only does the one you have. I think Captivate is on the 2nd DVD (at least it was on the TCS2.5 upgrade one I got), so you may have to start with that one first.
Another option (because some have reported issues with installing from DVD) is to copy the contents of both DVDs to a temp folder on your hard drive and start the install from there.

I've been successfully doing the canonical installation (DVD1 > setup (autoplay wouldn't work due according to the error message to a Unicode error in the lang.dat file) up to the switch to DVD2.

Unless data is somehow corrupted on DVD2, but in that case, why did the original installation succeed?
