I'm trying to upgrade photoshop 7.0 to 7.01. Everytime, I get the folloeing error message: "Setup cannot find Photoshop 7 in the default directory."

But it's there. HELP.

You probly dident install it to its Defalt directory......I have seen this in the past with some games and app updates, and as far as i can tell the only way to fix it, is by installing the app to its defalt location...

Pia check your PM's.

You can't trust anyone Sed

Piaqt, this is what I do ...

Forget photoshop or any image editing prog for that fact. I go to a photo kiosk with the best looking babe behind the service desk and charm her into doing all my photo editing for me. Thats right! They love me for it and do my bidding (er, editing) happily! Now, you would simply find a hunk instead of a babe and I can help you with that as well. You know that little photo kiosk behind the church across the street? I will personally staff the service desk and do all your bidding (er, editing) for you. After all ... I am ...

Thanks msnwar. You made me smile after a rough day.

Hey I am having this problem too. So how did you fix the problem and be able to install the update?

I'm having the same problem. I installed Photoshop 7.0 to the default directory initially, but re-installed it just in case. The patch just doesn't want to take!!!

Anyone know how to fix this???

sfo_sc & Sisco: you need to get a new serial number. uninstall photoshop, reinstall it with a new serial number and then update.

please don't ask on this board where to get a new number

Thanks for the info; Now I know what the problem is.

kind of like Windows XP service pack 1

The most significant fixes in the 7.0.1 release include the following:

• Photoshop now saves alpha transparency data in Targa files in the same way it did in previous versions.

• File Browser performance has been enhanced.

• If the color settings color management policy is set to "Off," Photoshop no longer asks to save changes unless other edits have been performed.

• The total ink now defaults to 300% as it did in previous versions of Photoshop.

• The color of white areas in CMYK files saved as JPEG no longer shifts.

• TIFF files with LZW compression are now written correctly.

• Photoshop offers better compatibility with older model G4 and Pentium III computers.

• When installed on a hard drive whose name contains extended characters, Photoshop no longer reports that certain required files were not found in the Adobe Photoshop required folder.

• Metadata is better preserved in certain JPEG files.

• Picture Package no longer locks up when it encounters incorrect file types while using custom page layouts.

• Photoshop now defaults to the last saved directory when saving new files. It no longer defaults to the TWAIN directory if one is present.

• Changing monitor configurations no longer causes problems while Photoshop or ImageReady are running.

• Photoshop no longer produces a program error when resampling certain large 16-bit documents.

• An issue that prevented Photoshop 6 from opening certain files containing layer effects and edited in Photoshop 7 has been fixed.

• The Maximize Backwards Compatibility for checkbox in the Photoshop Format Options dialog when you save a file as Photoshop (PSD) format.

It seems that the update doesn't like the serial that came with the SSG keygen.

if u have prirated photoshop already installed and u dont want to uninstall and reinstall what u do is

go buy a real copy key,

copy it (without "-") in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Registration\SERIAL

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Registration\SERIAL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

another way around is this

No need to panic or re-install, just use your favourite hex-editor

on setup.ins after you extracted the updater-exe to some

temp directory:

Search for every occurence of the text-string 1045 (or 31303435 in HEX)

and replace that with 4510 (or 34353130 in HEX). Save your setup.ins

and be happy...

P.S. Adobe black-listed 52 prirated serials

Creditz for this one fly out to: ***-***

Thanks. Will try.

UPDATE: IT WORKS!!
