Windows 10: Adobe Photoshop CS2 - Incompatible with W10?

I tried to install my trusty CS2 into W10 in a VM but it didn't want to play, CS3 on the other hand installed without a hitch. I was just wondering if anyone had successfully installed CS2 in W10 yet? Or even tried?

Reloading Photoshop 6 in Win 10

Adobe was giving away Photoshop CS2 for free last year, check if its still available for download:

How to open 80d raw on windows 10

80d Raw images are not supported in PS9 (CS2), only in Photoshop CC, you can however download the free Adobe DNG Converter.

I hope this Helps!

 

I think I have of CS2 somewhere.. If I find it I'll try to install it and report what happens.

Thanks Jeff, much appreciated mate.

 

Well, I just installed the free copy I got.. it's no longer maintained by Photoshop so they're giving it away. It's CS2 ver 9.0 and it installed and works just fine, for me at least.

I'll have to try again, maybe it's the VM environment that's affecting it somehow. Thanks for doing that Jeff, at least I know my old trusty piece of software will work for me on RTM. *Smile

 

Not a problem.. and thanks for reminding me of CS2.. I downloaded a copy and I can use it.

 

Thanks for the heads up ! It worked nicely for me in build 10056.

Hi there

CS2 works fine in a VM too --It's now "Abandonware" so you can se it as a "Freebie". Incidentally if you don't need all the modern bells and whistles and don't need the latest camera RAW support you can still keep .PSD format -- use your camera software to get RAW onto say TIFF and then you can use photoshop CS2 even on Uncompressed images.

90% of what most people use (or even 99%) probably is sufficient in CS2.

Works OK in build 10061 too.

I'm having severe problems with the files downloaded from Adobe. First, the directories they have setup to unpack the files are different names (when it ask for disk 2 it can't find the rest of the install using the directories they insert). I think I got around that, but still installs nothing, just like it did from the original disks which couldn't verify and said my 30 days was up and had to be verified before I could use it.
I've tried using multiple compatibility modes to no avail, shared components is all that seems to install.
I'm wondering if the original install that said it couldn't be used until it was verified is somehow getting in the way by having left something in the registry?
Hate not having restore as it had before, especially on a laptop where I've had to have the "file history" drive disconnected, so I can only go back I guess to the last time it was connected, which was 2 months ago.
Thinking of using registry editor to eliminate all references to CS2

 

My Cs 2 kept on freezing since changing to Windows 10 .
I have downloaded it again from Adobe but this one is not responding at all. the screen looks right with everything in the right place but that's it.
Help please, I checked the driver of my video card but that is updated.
I'm on a laptop Samsung R530.

 

During everyone's travels with CS2 & CS3, has anyone confirmed or read that CS4 will work with Win10 Pro x64? I'm currently running CS4 on my Win 8.1 Pro x64, but concerns about CS4 making the leap to Win10 have kept me from upgrading. Thanx.

 

Read.. no but I would think it would

 

I think it would too, but since my work depends on CS4, I want to be sure before I grind my gears doing the upgrade. Murphy's Law is just waiting to rear its ugly head on me, which would mean downgrading back to Win8.1 if CS4 doesn't work in 10.
