Hello All: I am having a weird experience with installing Indesign 2.0 for OSX and I am wondering if anyone has managed to accomplish this feat.
First, I am running 10.1.4 on a G4 T-powerbook. I am logged in as administrator. Usually, when you install something, the installer prompts you to enter in your admin password before it launches into the install. This was the case in Adobe and other products. However with my copy of Indesign 2.0 (which is for OSX), it doesn't ask me this--instead it goes about the business of installing just as it would under OS9. Of course, during the install process I get an "access denied" error message, and when i click OK it tells me I don't have permissions to install this. I have been on the phone with Apple and Adobe this morning, and neither have a solution. We have tried the following work arounds (without success): 1. Log in a root user. Believe it or not, when I do this and attempt to install, the installer won't even run--claiming I need to be logged in as administrator to have the right permissions to install the program (!!??!!). 2. Create a new admin user, and try to install using their account. I had the same errors. 3. Custom install of product (as opposed to easy install). Resulted in same error. 4. Installing under OS9. Product installed, but then was unsuable due to "missing files" when attempting to use the application in OSX. 5. Restart the computer. Wish it to work. Log back in. Resulted in same error. (Not wishing hard enough?) So I call out for suggestions, workarounds, comments? Particularly form those who have this installed. Apple and Adobe asked me to contact them tomorrow and report any progress to them for their systems help. Thanks in advance Nathalie
