Longhorn 4015 works with Photoshop 7.0?


Recommended Posts

Ive tried to install photoshop 7.0 on longhorn, but while installing, it hangs, when it tries to install the ICC Profiles. Someone else had this problem? any solutions?

Have you tried just extracting the setup files with winzip?

Microsoft also has something to get files out of msi files. I think the command is exmsi but im probably wrong.

Why do people try to use Longhorn as there primary OS and fill it up with applications, stich with 2000 or XP and just play with Longhorn as it is in no way usable as a proper OS (yet).

I tried out longhorn and it is still far to incomplete to be used as main operating system, wait until beta 1, using longhorn will slowly drive u mad as its so slow to use and unreliable to say the least, explorer.exe keeps crashing

Well it's your own fault it doesn't work!

Why?

Because, Photoshop 7.0 was NOT designed for Longhorn, and considering Longhorn is only in TEST form (aka beta), I'm not surprised!

Why not wait until 2005 when M$ releases it's FINAL version of Longhorn. Of course a new version of Photoshop will most likely be released...more importantly it'll be designed for Longhorn! Have you people no patience...all these problems & complaints with a test version of an Operating System, this debate could go on and on.

y do trolls come here and denounce poeple for their choice of their OS. if they want to run an alpha os as their main that is great for them. yet they dont need here u yell at them when they ask for help getitng a program to work.

if u didnt try compatibility mdoe try that, maybe jsut not install ICC profiles that might help

Try compatibility mode on your spelling next time.

And yeah, try not using Longhorn. I'm sure that will fix it.

Well that was good, they ilegally steal an in progress OS then want help with it.

If you want to use photoshop 7 then at least use an OS that is stable

Your comment of " if they want to run an alpha os as their main that is great for them" changed my attitude, its not great for them its an illegal act they are doing.

Run the following two files under Windows XP Compatibility Mode:

SETUP.EXE

_ISDEL.EXE

It works for some people sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. You could also disable NS$ShellSubscriptions service and see if that helps, along with anything WinFS related. I couldn't even get mIRC installed on Build 4015 without going through hell; its an alpha and I do expect problems like these to arise.

Did u do a dual-boot-system? If so: Install it from your other DOS and then link to it from LH, get the registry-settings, too.

To all the others complaining about his question: I always thought this site/forum was for geeks interested in the latest the computer-world has to offer. For me, this means trying out new OS's as much as I can, even if they are just alpha. And I usually install a program or two on them, just to see how they are working (faster, slower, already stable, etc.), and also to spend some time with the OS (after a while it gets rather boring just looking at the stuff MS has included with it). I know that it's still unstable, I expect problems to come up, and I'd even say that's part of the fun - seeing how they progress, etc. And asking how to install a program seems like a reasonable question to ask here. After all he was not whining and complaining about the OS: "Ooooh it won't run, bad, bad Longhorn. It sucks!", and therefore doesn't need to hear your "Don't use it"!

And if u r afraid, that somebody might have obtained the copy of LH illegally, I think you should not visit this site here anymore, because I'd say 99.9% of the users talking about LH and their experiences with it got it through dark and scary channels.

Is there a legal way to obtain LH (apart from being the press)? Because I would love to know...

more importantly it'll be designed for Longhorn!

And thats just why they spit out a new version every 3 weeks, so harware and software stock holders can get rich because end users ned to:

Get a new printer with drivers so?

A: it'll be designed for Longhorn!

Buy a better video card why?

A: it'll be designed for Longhorn!

Need a new soundcard because company "X" wont support drivers for Longhorn, why?

A: To force you into buying new hardware, why?

A: it'll be designed for Longhorn!

Dont tell me i have to buy Easy CD again LMAO, why?

A: it'll be designed for Longhorn!

I'll even have to buy a new trash can, why?

Take a guess..lol

i switched back to build 4008. cause in 4015 there is a explorer memory leak when the sidebar is enabled, the only reason i use lh is because i love the sidebar

My Opinion:

Longhorn IS Stable

Longhorn IS O.K as a main OS

Longhorn does have compatibility problems, but as was said before: if you dual boot, install stuff on the other OS and export the registry entries.

Most people that are using Longhorn are just using it for the sake of "ooo, im using pre released software!!!", but other people do actually follow guides, and tweak things themselves. I've been playing with LH since 3683 and since then I've found a work around for most problems.

If he wants to use it as his main OS, so be it.

As for the Photoshop problem, I managed to install it without changing compatibility mode. All i could suggest is what SinSee said - just install it on another OS and import the reg entries.
