The Joys Of Installing CS4

The ‘Joys’ Of Installing CS4 –

Nice. So now we have a bunch of things, one of which is called “Setup.app” and is presumably the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium installer application. Never mind that everyone else on the planet uses the verb to install rather than to set up. Never mind that the file’s name contains no indication of what it is that it is going to be “setting up.” Never mind that there are all kinds of other things in this folder that the user does not need to see. Never mind that the application in question has the exact same icon as the thing that you’ve just clicked on, which was a folder.

I own CS3 and can’t say I found installing it a pain – but the updates are. I made the mistake of uninstalling a few of the apps from the suite and now those I do use won’t update.

I hope Adobe can get their act together, they seem pretty in tune with the internet community so maybe we’ll here something back from them. Until then, I’m steering clear of CS4 – not that I’d use most of the new features anyways.

Even if you don’t use any of Adobe’s products, this makes a highly entertaining read, even if it wasn’t meant to be.
