I am currently running Photoshop CS, and wish to install the new CS(2) version. In the past, for every upgrade, the program was installed in a newly created folder in the Adobe tree. After verifying that the new version was running properly, I would then unninstall the prior version.

When I started to install CS 2, the install program selected the same folder that the current version is in. This would lead me to believe that current files would be overwritten, and/or I’d have some problems with things. Possibly the install program would come up later, and advise me that there was already a verions installed in that folder, and offer a second choice. But I don’t want to risk that it wouldn’t, and the older CS would be eliminated now, as opposed to later, at my discretion.

What’s the story here??

I don’t know, but I would certainly change that choice to a new folder. Are you sure it was an install choice and not the installer looking to confirm and earlier install for upgrade purposes?

Bob,

Thanks for the reply

I have things straightened out. Through a little mixup, the CD I was using was a CS CD, not CS 2 CD.

Photoshop always puts the new versions into a descriptively named folder – so I should have spotted the mixup right away.
