Installing eLearning 6.1 over Master Collection CS6

_pat_ May 28, 2013 3:34 PM

I have installed and working CS6 Master Collection on Windows 8 64.

Now I have to install the eLearning 6.1

Is the eLearning 6.1 install aware of the presence of the CS6 Master collection?

How's the best way of installing eLearning over MC.

Thanks

The last I installed a Creative Suite that included software that another Creative Suite had already installed...the new one just sees the existing installations and marks them as 'installed' so they're skipped.
So if you have Master Collection installed, and are now installing eLS, then eLS will see the software that's installed which is also installs (i.e. pretty much everything except Captivate and Presenter, I think) and skip it.

The easiest way then to see which installer installed which piece of software is looking in the Start folder to see how they're grouped.

So really, there's no problem...unless you want all eLS applications actually associated with the eLS installer for some reason...in which case, run the Master Collection installer, remove the apps that eLS will install, then run the eLS installer...
Hope that helps

ELS should upgrade Flash and Dreameaver.

OK, now my doubts are about Acrobat and Dreamwever; is it supposed that eLS will just quietly upgrade the ones initially installed by Master Collection?

This doesn't make sense.

An LMS is a Learning Management System.

Authorware is a tool for creating training that might be delivered via the
LMS.

If you want to edit your course, you need the tool "Authorware".

Just in case anyone is interested in the original question I've been chatting with Adobe Support.
They say Acrobat X from Master Collection has to be removed before installing eLS.
eLS setup will install the specific components plus Acrobat XI.
I've asked about Dreamweaver... they said if the eLS version is different than the one installed it'll install the new one w/o removing the old one.. mmmhhh...
I've been trying to see what version of Dreamweaver is included with eLS but so far I couldn't get that info...

Dreamweaver should basically be the same version, but it has some
additional Learning components - the Knowledge Objects.
