Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium: Launch in Boot Camp Windows 7

  • Installer for CS5.5 Production Premium
    • For viewing the license conditions, it offers language choices including [English (North America)] and [English (International)].
      • It’s not clear what the difference is.  I wish it showed some examples in each.
      • I’m not the only confused one, e.g:

            • Re: CS4 English International vs English US
            • To add to the confusion, I think the difference is in the default dictionaries and the spellings in the interface, i.e. it presumes you want British-style spelling (as you have), and has nothing to do with licensing.
            • I have no clue how to change that election other than to re-install. If you can live with the funny spelling in the menus, you can set the default dictionary to US English in InDesign, and probably other apps.
            • With nothing open, click the text tool and set the control panel to character mode options. Change the language in the dictionary dropdown near the right end. This is also available from the character panel (which which is where you’d change it in Photoshop, it’s in the prefs under Hyphenation in Illustrator — and you may be able to reset the interface language in the Photoshop prefs, too)
      • I chose [English (International)]
    • Next it asked for:
      • Serial Number or else check the Trial button.
        • I did the latter
      • Also it asked for Language
        • I assume this to be the operating language for the app
        • Again I chose [English (International)]
    • Next, [Install Options]
      • Apps:
        • Flash Pro CS5.5
        • AIR for Apple iOS Support
        • After Effects CS5.5
        • Audition CS5.5
        • Encore CS5.1
        • Flash Catalyst CS5.5
        • Illustrator CS5.1
        • OnLocation CS5.1
        • PhotoShop CS5.1 (64..)
        • PhotoShop CS5.1
        • Premiere Pro CS5.5
      • Location:
        • [C:\Program Files\Adobe]
    • Next it began calculating the total time for install and began installing.  After a few minutes it returned its time estimate as around half an hour.  This (initial conservative estimate?) rapidly dropped to around 20 minutes.
    • Next it asked for web browsers to be closed
    • Finally it displayed what looks like a Launcher window for the Production Premium suite, withbuttons labelled akin to Periodic Table elements, except that one of them [Ps] (PhotoShop) appeared twice, identically labelled.
      • On mouse-hover it emerged (from tooltip text) that the second [Ps] was 64-bit, the first then presumably being 32-bit, though its tooltip text did not confirm this
  • Possibly unrelated, Kapersky AntiVirus reported
    • <<Detected a potentially dangerous modification of the application BMDSTREAMINGSERVER.EXE without a digital signature>>
      • That application was installed yesterday, as part of DaVinci Resolve Lite for Windows.
      • (I got distracted by domestic events)
      • The Kapersky prompt appeared to time-out, I don’t know whatit assumed/did…
  • The Launcher highlighted the followingTutorials link:
  • From Launcher, ran Adobe Premiere
    • A “First Use” dialog came up
      • Requested mu Adobe ID
        • Ientered it.
        • Response screen said: <<By providing an Adobe ID, you have set up access to Adobe CS Live Services during your trial period.
        • It also indicated it had sent email verification.
    • I received two emails.
      • First email
        • <<<
        • Thank you for providing your Adobe ID and downloading your Adobe Creative Suite® software trial.

        • Your complimentary CS Live services subscription will expire with your product trial.
        • >>>
      • Second email:
        • Verify email address
          • Strange that this was sent after the email containing Personal Meeting Room address etc.
    • Thank You dialog gave link to tutorials:
    • I clicked the [Done] button
  • Adobe Premiere started up
    • Popup stated: <<Adobe Premiere Pro requires updated video card drivers for CUDA accelerated rendering.  Please download and install current drivers for your video card.>>
      • That’s what I was afraid of.  It’s making the same demands as DaVinci Resolve.  I cannot satisfy those demands, all updates are under Apple’s control – it is normal that laptops (as my MacBook Pro is) have customized versions of graphics card drivers…
      • I closed the popup.
    • Premiere prompted for [New Project] etc.
      • I clicked on [Help]
        • The Help panel, once populated (after a minute or so), included a [Getting Started and Tutorials] link.
