I downloaded the 7.01 Photoshop update but when I try to install it, it
say’s it can’t find Photoshop in my Program’s folder. Is it supposed to go into Plug-ins or something? Thanks.
You may experience an error when trying to run the Adobe Photoshop
7.01 upgrade. It may say that it can’t find "Adobe Photoshop 7.0".
If you post the problem here you will be ridiculed, tarred & feathered and told to "See the FAQ". Out of all my friends, family, and co-workers – I don’t know anyone that has all paid for software on their PC, but amazingly – here, they all do.
Anyway, here is the simple workaround (perhaps this could be added to the FAQ ??) :
1) go to
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/ and download the "Free Hex Editor XVI32" and install it
2) install WinZip (if you haven’t already) and make sure the shortcut icon is on your desktop
3) open Windows Explorer and drag the 7.01 upgrade file "ps701up.exe" to the WinZip icon
4) WinZip opens – click "Extract" and save the files
5) yYou’ll see a file called setup.ins – older 7.01 upgrade files had the file "setup.inf" but they have since changed the name
6) start run the Hex editor, and open the file "setup.ins"
7) click "Search/Replace" and replace "1045" with "4510" – click "Replace All" – it will find and replace about 50 instances of that string
8) click File/Save and then run "setup.exe" from the extracted files – DO NOT RUN THE ORIGINAL 7.01 upgrade file "ps701up.exe""
Viola – you are now upgraded !!!
