Adobe Photoshop CS2 Error

[Migration User]

I am attempting to build an ai package for Adobe Photoshop CS2. The install completes successfully and alll the apps function normally. Building the package is flawless, but when it is deployed to a workstation, adobe bridge does not not run. Get a message that Bridge.exe was unable to find "libagluc28.dll".

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Basically, AI works by looking at the changes done to the system during install. This is done by taking two snapshots and comparing them.

By any chance, if the dll was already there in the source machine, install would not install it and AI will not be aware that the file is needed.

If you know the location of the file, you can add it manually to AI (using AI Builder) and re-build the packge. Could you try that?

CS2 requires a special activation process that modifies certain system files.  Roughly the way it works is that CS2 installs and generates sort of a system ID unique to that computer.  that information is sent over the net to Adobe, processed and an activation key is sent back.  the activation key does something to the adobe system files, my guess is decrypt some of them and then the software works.  Creating an AI package would copy the data but the system ID wouldnt match and the software will fail to run.  We had that problem here where i work, we contacted Adobe and they sent us several files that would replace the ones originally installed to force the activation to work.  I would see if you could get the same support and maybe build your AI package using that as your activation method instead prior to creating the package.  We only have it installed on a few machines here so a packaged install wasnt necessary so good luck
