I have installed a licensed copy of Adobe CS2 in Vista 64. Most of the applications start, but I can't get InDesign, GoLive or Bridge to work.
If I try to start Indesign all I get is a window with this message: "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application." I have tried reinstalling with and without o/s compatibility with no success.
If I try to start GoLive the application starts, then this error message: "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application. (-8)"
If I try to start Bridge, the application starts as it should, showing the contents of a folder, then a window with this message: "Adobe Bridge cannot start because of licensing restriction. You must have installed and launched at least one other Adobe application to use Adobe Bridge." I have started and successfully used Photoshop CS2.
Any thoughts on getting these apps to work?

problems with Adobe CS2 in Vista 64
Be sure to file a separate bug report for each error. Adobe has a ways to go in preparing for Vista.

If instead of double clicking on the icon, shortcut, or executable, you right click and then choose run as administrator, it might run. A lot of things will. It's worth a try. The permissions and security are different on Vista than on XP, and a lot of things that are needed can't be accessed unless you run as an administrator.

Already tried that, even though my main account has admin. privileges. It didn't work.

But remember, there are administrators and then there are administrators.
An Admin runs in user mode in Vista UNLESS they right click and choose run as admin.

Adobe is just now getting CS3 ready for Photoshop to work on the Mac/XP duo cores which have been out a while already-so maybe CS4 will be a Vista version.
