When will the CS4 install ever end?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I am installing Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection from DVD media. Of course, because I deal in disk images through Adobe Licensing, it's a little more complicated. It's easy on a Mac; just mount the images and go. Since Windows wants specific paths, mounting all of the images leads to confusion and incomplete installation, at least for me. Writing these DVDs proved to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated. The images are all UDF images, and I am a Mac guy with Parallels. Toast will write UDF DVDs from images, but apparently it doesn't like it if the images are mounted over a network. I cooked a few drink coasters before realizing that, and then it was off to the races. If the race was between a snail and a slug.

I started the process yesterday afternoon, let it run overnight, and here it is almost noon, and we're finally on disk 4. I can't wait until the updating process begins! I suppose that the reward for my patience is that I can use MC CS4 on my Windows personality, which is necessary for some of the work that I do. I wonder if a new Windows laptop would be more convenient?
