Ok, well here's the story. While paying over $900.00 US for the Adobe suite I figured that I got a deal. I was unaware that it was going to be such a hassle and of how broke the installer is for XP Pro.
I installed disk 1 with no problems. Disk 2 required the Adobe 8 pkg to be installed. Upon trying to install it, the install hung, with no errors of course. I then installed 8 and went back to the install (note: disk 1 alone is about a 45 min install each time). It passed Adobe 8 and then hung on the next pkg. >.<
Not a problem, so I thought; I'll just call adobe. Blah blah blah... 15 minutes later of giving almost everything except my birth marks to them I was told "Oh, well it seems that this will have to go to technical support and they won't be in until tomorrow."
Let's recap... $900+ Adobe Master Collection CS3, 5 hours or troubleshooting the install, a call to an overseas "help" desk to wait until tomorrow? What!?!?!? So if you can wait for Adobe to get off their coffee breaks and stop playing with the cube toys, maybe we could have an installer that works for the amount of money that they are getting for their products. Hell, I haven't had this much trouble with an installer even from a freeware package!
Adobe, loose the interns and hire some real programmers that know how to make an installer that isn't broke before releasing it out to the public.
