1. Re: Can CS4 coexist with older CS2?
JBrown321 Jul 6, 2009 5:59 AM (in response to jdmoor)I would suggest uninstalling cs4 and trying a reinstall. If that does not work maybe try uninstalling both versions and then install 2.0 first then cs4. I have both and they seem to both run fine.

2. Re: Can CS4 coexist with older CS2?
Bill Hunt Jul 6, 2009 8:49 AM (in response to jdmoor)Most of the installations that had CS2 (PrPro 2.0) and CS4 were done with CS4 coming after the installation of CS2. I'd guess that with the order being reversed, the CS2 installation hooked an affinity, or a process, that had been set to CS4. A repair install of CS4 should set it all right again.
When adding PE4 to a machine with the full CS2 Production Studio, similar happened, and PrPro, Bridge and PS were "broken." Adobe never expected someone to install PE after PrPro and the others in the Productin Suite. A Repair Install of the rest of Production Studio took care of everything. Obviously, I was not the only one to do this, as there was an Adobe KB Article on what would be broken, and how to fix it.
Good luck,
Hunt

3. Re: Can CS4 coexist with older CS2?
jdmoor Jul 6, 2009 9:19 AM (in response to jdmoor)I spoke to Adobe Tech Support .. and as expected, the fix was to uninstall CS2 and CS4. Install CS2 first ... then install CS4. According to Tech Support, there are 'common' files shared by both CS2 and CS4 and as you would expect, CS2 install over writes the CS4 files and therefore 'breaks' some components of CS4.
I've done as Tech support suggested and so far .. so good.
Thank to those who replied with suggestions.

Bill Hunt Jul 6, 2009 9:27 AM (in response to jdmoor)Sounds good so far, and thanks for reporting the order that works.
Good luck,
