Photoshop 16 bit Setup Workaround

Found this out there – it worked for me.

After having the same troubles with installing Photoshop 6.0 on Win 7 x64 Professional I finally got the installation working by doing the following:
  • Run msconfig
  • Select Diagnostic startup
  • Reboot computer
  • Locate Photoshop file setup.exe (it’s in sub directory “Adobe Photoshop 6” on the CD)
  • Right click on setup.exe and choose Run as administrator
  • Now the installation program should start, it did for me at least.
  • Go through installation as usual.
  • Run msconfig again
  • Select Normal startup
  • Reboot computer
  • Enjoy
I hope that helps someone.
