I just bought a new computer and couldn’t wait to try photoshop
7.01 on my new rig. But, the problem is that when i click the button
to install the photoshop 7.01 program nothing happens!

have an old copy of photoshop 6 as well, and that doesn’t work either.

it seems like this brand new computer with a dvd-rom/cdrw combo drive can’t seem to read the

setup.exe

file, which is a 32-bit setup launcher. man, that sucks. is there anyway to install it any other way? my computer can install adobe acrobat reader, which uses installshield program instead…

thanks for the help in advance.

Copy the installer to your harddrive and try installing it from there.

I tried that as well and it still didn’t work. Any other suggestions?

Re-boot into Safe Mode and run the installer from your HDD in that mode.

Ah man. That didn’t work either. Any other suggestions? I can’t believe this isn’t working.

Do any of your other CDs work? It sounds like the CD drive may be a bit flakey.

I’ve not seen this problem before as usually copying across the installer and all the Photoshop installer files to the hard drive solves these problems. Have a look at the link below to see if anything there helps.

A few other suggestions – do your Win updates if you haven’t done already as it might be a problem with the Win installer. Failing that, perhaps you need to reinstall Windows.
