When you install Adobe Creative Suite 2.x in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, you see the error message, "The path you selected for installation contains unsupported characters. Please choose a different folder for installation."
Details
You are attempting to install one or more applications to the default installation path, [X] :\Program Files (x86)\Adobe (where [X] is the hard disk on which the system is installed).
Adobe Create Suite 4 is not affected by this issue on Windows XP Professional 64 bit. Upgrading to Adobe Creative Suite 4 will resolve this issue.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition provides two Program Files folders. The folder named "Program Files" is intended for 64-bit applications. The folder named "Program Files (x86)" is intended for 32-bit applications, such as Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 applications.
The installer for Adobe Creative Suite doesn't support parentheses in the installation path name.
In Windows, each file and folder has two file names; a long file name, which can have up to 256 characters, and a short file name of eight-characters with an extension. The short file name for the Program Files (x86) folder, "Progra~2", doesn't use parentheses and therefore, doesn't conflict with the installer.
