About Adobe CS4 Installation Errors : Error Number 2

I needed a fast tool for creating the mockup of my new blog template. I thought what can be better than Dreamweaver, as it’s the tool that I use for most of my freelance work. As I won’t be needing Dreamweaver on this computer for more than a few days, I downloaded and tried to install the Dreamweaver CS4′s trial version.

I’m running on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. Right away, the installation started giving errors. This is the error message:

Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 LangPack (en_US)
Error: Error 2.

And if you try to run Dreamweaver, this message box appears:

Could not locate the Resources file in the Configuration folder.
This file is required to run Dreamweaver.
Please reinstall the application.

For a few hours I tried to find how to solve this problem. Disabled all firewall, antivirus software, startup tools. A fresh restart, not opening any programs while restarting, even not moving the mouse, or praying. Nothing was helping.

At the end, a lost comment in the huge interwebs of blogs and forums saved my day while searching Google.

If you are using Vista or Windows 7 and encounter error 2, check this folder:

C:\Users\Public\Documents

I’m definitely certain that, you do not have that one created. Simply create it by hand and watch the magic happen.

Isn’t it fun ? Wait! What’s more disturbing is that Adobe installation does not create or put any files or folders in here. Sooo strange…
