All applications seems to work very nice. Does not allow to install to the default directory (C:\program files (x86)\adobe) because it says contains illegal caracters. So I redirected to c:\program files_x86\adobe and that's it

Adobe doesn't officially support x64 yet (according to tech support) however they say sometimes it just works. Currently get an error saying that :

Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid

Anyone encounter this same problem

(Note : This is an upgrade from CS1 that came with Adobe Video Collection Professional 2.5)

Premiere Pro 1.5, Encore, After Effects 6.5 work fine

CS 2 Items however, do not.

I have noticed with my install that if I run it from my secondary (slave) hard disk all is well, but if run from the main all programs crash upon opening, photoshop mentions that the name, serial, etc. are invalid.

Applications RUNS BETTER under Vista x64, except the Aero interface cause pallettes to move about poorly.

There is a hard to find trick to get install to work correctly.

Creative Suite installer doesn't support Vista file naming convention, however, if you install anywhere but C:\Program Files (x86)\ CS programs WILL CRASH ON LOAD.

You must instead using legacy naming scheme.

Install to C:\progra~2\Adobe\

note, ~1 directs to \Program Files\

you must use ~2 for \Program Files (x86)\

Thanks for the Legacy suggestion. It solved my installation problem. Anyone running Vista 64 bit take note and the above method will work.

Thanks for the help!

C:\progra~2\Adobe\

THANK YOU this worked for me when I couldnt get Adobe to work on my Vista 64 bit machine

perfect

Thank you so much!!! This absolutely worked!

I used the C:\progra~2\adobe but it would not let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 that comes with the Creative Suite 2 Premium. Any suggestions out there? All the other programs seem to work. I can now open them.

Works as advertised!

Thanks for the info. Adobe tech. support told me it couldn't be done and later versions of Creative Suite wouldn't work either.

Installing it to C:\progra~2\Adobe worked like a champ.

This solution worked perfectly! I never would have found it on the Adobe site. Now for Acrobat problems...

Thanks to this info, I was finally able to install CS2 using ~2. Great advice!
