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.
