Installed CS3 Illustrator on a 10.4.11 Mac (Intel) G5. Upon restart, the Applications folder was empty except for the Adobe software. What in the world could have happened?!

Thanks,

Thanks, Wade, but the problem was not that CS3 Illustrator didn't install -- it did, and it ran just fine. The problem was that it wiped out ALL the other software in the Applications folder. Yikes!

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a similar experience or knows why this happened.

Thanks again,
Lynda

Repair permissions?

My guess is that you are looking at your user's application folder (which should be empty except for the apps you've installed there.)

I didn't know you could install the suite in there though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Any apps that are in there are fine for the user you're logged in as, they just won't be useable for any other user accounts on the machine.
