Having troubles with a registered copy of Photoshop 6, I uninstalled it and when I tried to reinstall, the AutoPlay feature of the CD did not work. I then used Explore to find the Photoshop .exe file and could not find it on the CD. I tried using the Windows Add Programs feature, and it said that it could not find a .exe file on the CD. Called Adobe customer service who referred me to technical support and while they were able to confirm that my CD was registered, they were able to offer no help as the software is outdated. It has been installed 3 times, originally on Windows 2000 and has not been working correctly on Windows XP Home Edition. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

I then used Explore to find the Photoshop .exe file and could not find
it on the CD.




find the photoshop folder on the cd. drag that to the desktop. from that folder on the desktop, run setup.exe.

I tried the dragging but still could not find an .exe file. Also looked through all the folders on the CD for the .exe file. It has disappeared!

Rose,

Is "Hide Known File Extentions" perhaps ticked in folder properties?

Could you find the Photoshop folder that Dave suggested?

Rob

what rob said first. make sure you can view extension. second, you're not looking for photoshop.exe, you're looking for setup.exe in the photoshop folder. copy that folder from the disk to the desktop. then run setup.exe from the photoshop folder on the desktop.

Dave, PS 6 is so old, it may even be "INSTALL.COM"!

Sorry, just kidding.

Rob

:P

don't laugh. i just found my old "battlechess" disk and played a game. yes, it WAS in fact, INSTALL.COM. also needed emm to run and himem.sys. 'member THOSE?!!

Oh, don't get me started.
Still have a fried Tandy TRS-80 and a VIC-20 and a teletype machine.

I'm a 150 years old, you know.

Well, I'm not 150 years old, but the first computer I worked on (repair MOS in the Army) did have the "advanced" design feature of removable circuit boards... with transistors mounted on the boards

Biggest problem was heat generation... most of the time in actual use, the case was removed so the thing didn't stop running due to heat induced parity errors

Ah... those were(n't !!!) the days
