Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 trial installs on my Mac (OSX Lion)

Information about the problem:

I am trying to install a trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.

I completely downloaded the trail via The Adobe Download Assistant. The file that I have now is "Photoshop_12_1_LS1.dmg".

I can open the .dmg and go through the steps of ready to install base. I press install and wait that it to do its thing.

Installation hangs and then at some point in any %. Sometimes the % will remain at some point and time will pass and no progress. At one point, I left the machine in the 8 minutes he required and time were spent 60 minutes +.

I've noticed a trend whenever I tried it (31 times).

The installation program always seems to freeze in section when it installs: Adobe recommends Fonts or fonts Adobe or Adobe Bridge CS5.5 Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5.

Once the installation is stuck, it crashes the system and I have no other choice to the hold down the power button, the machine does not respond. I tried the installation several times and still no luck.

To try to fix it myself, I removed all the custom fonts in font book and what remains is the default fonts on the system. I even tried to install the trial without all the additional extensions provided before installing the trial, and still the same problem occurs.

I need this trial and I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you

John

System information:

MacBook Pro 17-inch

4 GB memory

Processor 2.8 GHz

Mac OS X 10.7.1

I found a solution to this problem. Install the files in secure boot mode. Here's how to guide:

Part one:

With recent attempts or even previous versions of Adobe CS can be still hanging around on your mac, in order to remove the bits and bobs needed for installation clean you need to download the tool of 'cleaning up' by Adobe CS5. This can remove all previous version of CS back to CS3. This could be the problem by doing that download you. This tool can be downloaded here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html

YOU SHOULD USE THIS TOOL BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE SECOND PART.

Second part:

To start mode without fail (to start), follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that your Mac is turned off.
  2. Press the power button.
  3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key. The shift would be held as soon as possible after startup, but not before the tone tone.
  4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a gear).

Third part:

Now that you have left your boot of the machine up at startup.

1. Locate the .dmg installation file. It may take a while to load, but be patient.

2. Click here to open the .dmg.

3. continue the installation as you normally would.

4 sit and take advantage of up to 100%.

Once it's installed, you can now restart your machine and start as usual. Log in and then it should be there in your applications to use.

I spent almost 2 days me trying to understand this point, and finally I found a solution. I hope this help anyone who came across this problem themselves.

Good luck

John
