Because of some quirky behavior when launching Photoshop CS2, I decided to re-install the application from the installation CD. I tried several times. Each time, when the installation is almost complete, a pop-up window informs me that: "Install Failed. The following install step failed: run postflight script for Adobe Photoshop SC2. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

I wrote to Adobe Customer Service. Their response was:
"Please note, Creative suite 2 have been discontinued after the release of Creative Suite 3. Therefore, you will not receive any technical support via phone for this product. You can, however, post questions and comments regarding tryout software on the User-to-User Forums on the Adobe Web site."

I would appreciate any insight as to why I cannot re-install CS2. My system details: Aluminum & Glass iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, MacOSX 10.5.8, 320GB Maxtor HD, 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, read/write CD & DVD, FireWire 400 & 800. Available HD space: about 190GB.

Thanks — Larry

CS2 is not supported in Leopard. I suggest you upgrade now before tiered pricing kicks in. at the end of February.

Larry,

Mac OS X 10.5.8

….is still a dream in Apple’s eyes. See: < http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/m acosx1056comboupdate.html>

But, as has been said, per Adobe, Mac OS X v10.5.x and CS2 have compatibility problems that will not be resolved by any further updates. Your best bet is upgrading to CS4 while there is still a price advantage in place.

Buko,

…before tiered pricing kicks in. at the end of February…

Is there something you know that you are at liberty to share in regard to this tiered pricing?

Well the creative suite will be $200 more March 1st when upgrading from CS2. I figured the same would be true for Photoshop.
