Adobe Creative Suite 3 (#3): Problems installing CS2 applications in presence of CS3 applications

Problem: Adobe CS2 applications cannot be properly installed after installation of Adobe CS3 applications has taken place.

Fix: Uninstall Adobe CS3 applications temporarily using the included uninstaller, then install CS2 applications, and subsequently re-install the CS3 applications.

"I needed Acrobat and InDesign from CS2 for certain plugins that are not yet compatible with CS3. After the CS3 install, CS2 wouldn't install Acrobat and InDesign. I then used the CS3 uninstaller to remove just those two applications, which allowed me to finally re-install those two from CS2 and then re-install those two Applications from CS3. (This last with fingers crossed, as Adobe support had advised me to completely uninstall CS3, then install CS2, then re-install CS3)."
