Hi, Anybody have luck with upgrading to PS 7.01 without having to reload software? Thanks Matt

ficticious ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 9:32 AM

yup.

Houma48 ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 11:40 AM

Would you like to share how you went about it? Thanks

ficticious ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 12:08 PM

I installed the update and all was fine... I don't really know what else to say...

JayPeG ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 12:26 PM

Same here. Downloaded update installer, clicked install, done. No problems.

retrocity ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 12:42 PM

Make sure you have "Administrator" rights (for certain WinOS's) before starting the installation or it may "crap-out" on ya'

PS, i had trouble at the office because the user was logged in as themself and not Admin. That was the only problem i've had...

Houma48 ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 12:46 PM

From what I've read on Adobe forum I'm not the only one having the same problem. Error message I get(and other's)"Can't find PhotoShop directory". Adobe's answer to this is to reload PS.......yea sure!

retrocity ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 12:56 PM

Does it allow you to search for the directory, or does it say "I can't find it" and crap-out???

retrocity ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 1:00 PM

Ver7 works fine otherwise??

you just want to install the upgrade and the "installer" can't find the PS program? quite odd...

What's your directory structure like? (ie, where'd ya install PS?? and where are ya' running the install from??)

:)

Houma48 ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 2:58 PM

PS does for the directory than say "can't find it". Directory structure is C:ProgramAdobePhotoshop 7.0 ps701up(7.01 update)is located in Photoshop 7.0

retrocity ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 4:25 PM

Try running the upgrade from your desktop, maybe the install can't see the PS directory right in front of it's face... it's worth a try... :) retrocity

There's already an upgrade from 7.0? What's the diff?

PunkClown ( ) posted Tue, 18 February 2003 at 9:40 PM

Grim...apparently it fixes some bugs (like the program freezing occasionally in browser mode) and other stuff. It came out so soon after I bought PS 7.0 that I just upgraded, can't really compare to version 7.0...
Houma48,
What's the major problem with uninstalling and re-installing the program?...you probably could have done it in the time it's taken you to write your question and read and answer these replies.

Grim the 7.0.1 update came out August 2002. There is a list of the bug fixes on the download page.

Grimtwist ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 3:21 AM

Is it free? Adobe releases a faulty product then expects consumers to pay to get it fixed no doubt.

PunkClown ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 3:28 AM

It's a free download Grim...chuckle ...and here I thought I was getting cynical in my old age! ;-)>

dpoosch ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 10:39 AM

I seem to recall having problems when I went from 5.5 to 6.0. The recommended fix was to download the upgrade to my desktop and then install from there. That was from a disk, so don't know if downloading from the site makes a differance.

JayPeG ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 12:27 PM

Cool down Grim. It's free. Either way, I'd hardly call PS 7 "faulty". When was the last time any software product was released with no bugs at all? (answer=never) The bugs fixes were for the most part for little things. In fact out of the list of fixes they provided there was only one on there that affected me directly and now, it's fixed.

Grimtwist ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 4:25 PM

Bugs = faulty.

JayPeG ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 4:32 PM

Bugs=normal (unless you live in the Land of Oz) Find me 100% bug free software and than maybe you'll have a point.

Grimtwist ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 4:37 PM

Bugs=faulty=normal. There, how about that?

retrocity ( ) posted Wed, 19 February 2003 at 8:25 PM

JayPeg, ANY program from Microsoft is 100% bug-free.

it just has a LOT of surprise "features"!!!!!

I just find the attitude from Photoshop saying"just reload PS" a "give-a-damn" attitude, out of character. Never expected it from what I thought was a "Top Notch Professional Organization". I now see that this attitude has infected even the BEST. I'm glad I have Paint Shop Pro as an alternative. It's not the Lexus of the bunch but a Camary is fine for what I do.

JayPeG ( ) posted Thu, 20 February 2003 at 4:02 PM

Have you considered it's not PS but your Windows machine that is the problem? No problems on the Mac side.

Grimtwist ( ) posted Thu, 20 February 2003 at 5:13 PM

Oh god I thought we'd finished the PSP vs PS argument. sigh

PunkClown ( ) posted Thu, 20 February 2003 at 5:20 PM

"just reload PS" a "give-a-damn" attitude, out of character. Never expected it from what I thought was a "Top Notch Professional Organization". Yeah...I understand where you're coming from - especially when they charge so much for the software in the fist place! I guess after all my past harddrive dramas I'm just so used to reinstalling my software that it seems like second nature to me now! ~ but you are right you shouldn't have to do that for a (so-called) simple upgrade! :-)>

JayPeG ( ) posted Thu, 20 February 2003 at 11:20 PM

Actually, you don't have to.

Boxx ( ) posted Sun, 23 February 2003 at 5:26 AM

Nobody's perfect, so there will always be problems when introducing new software. The way you use Photoshop could be entirely different to the way I use it, and a certain combination of events could possibly crash it. It's not possible to predict every possible permutation without letting it into "the wild" so to speak. That said, to release an unfinished version to publicly beta test a product is a heinous crime. One which I know Microsoft and Corel do regularly. (Incidentally, Microsoft do not have bugs, they have "undocumented features" - yeah, right). That said, if a product regularly crashes or does not do what it claims, you are quite within your rights to return the goods, no matter what the licence or the shop you bought it from say.

Boy, I will have to check out the Photoshop Forum more often. I had no idea they came out with an upgrade... Geez :) Thanks for the info :) ladynimue

PunkClown ( ) posted Sun, 23 February 2003 at 5:41 PM

Attached Link: Adobe downloads page

The weird thing is (btw Hi! ladynimue) ~ is that although you could connect to the web for update checks from the program itself, doing so never alerted me to the new update to version 7.01...I had to find out here in the forum too! :-)>

Waves back to PC ;] Thanks for the link :) ladynimue
