I just downloaded adobe photoshop 6.0 and it told me a file could not be created for temporary initialization and to make sure the directory path existed. I dont know how to do that! so i did a whole bunch of other stuff and eventually came up with a window that had a lot of icons for different things regarding adobe. (ie-data.hdr, setup.lid, setup, readme, adobeps6tryout) and i tried everything and finally i clicked on one of the setup icons and it told me to wait while it set up install shield wizard. So after it got to 100 % it told me i had to close down "uninstall wizard." I dont even know what or where that is, so how am i supposed to close it down? I didnt even know it existed! all help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

U need a "Computer for dummies" book
lol, corny... anyway.

Lets try this again.
Take a piece of paper, and write down the address of the folder that adobe installer (the setup file that u clicked) resides in.

Then, write down the name of the file u clicked to open the installer.

Then, restart your windows (i am just trying to make things easier for you)

Open "My Computer", then in the address bar, type in the address you wrote down on your paper, and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.

Then, once the folder opens, double-click the file that starts the setup, and run through the installation. Try to leave all the fields the way they are, unless you know what you are doing.

After the install is complete, it may prompt you to restart the computer.

Do so.

NOTE: You might want to write down the insallation address of where you installed Adobe photoshop (u will be prompted to edit it during the installation), but most likely it will be "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 6.0" but it could be somewhat different. Just look for a similar string.

After you restart, locate the address from which you ran the set up, and delete it (save space) or write it on a CD if u wish to save it) and then delete it.

Now, you are ready to start drawing.


Have fun.

(Woah, i know programmers assume all the users are idiots, but this is special. No offense there tiger, we all had to learn it one way or another)

Just to add to Vasko's walk-through...


This message usually appears when you run out of disk space. LIkely photoshop is trying save temporary install files upon install. Problem is probably due to insufficient space on C (by default) or the path it's pointing to doesn't exist.
