I basically had to make a backup of everything and reformat my hard drive to be case insensitive.

i am sharing the exact same frustration as you. i am trying to download PS Elements 8 that came with my bamboo tablet on my mac (which has Lion) and the same message showed up for me. i still am not sure what to do….

I would like nothing more to just use the Photoshop alternatives, but sadly, I am often a consumer of PSDs rather than a creator of them. So when I get a comp and it uses layer styles and whatnot, GIMP just doesn’t work

So do something about it. Stop using their products.
For a Photoshop alternative, there’s GIMP. At least it installs to case sensitive volumes.

I haven’t used an adobe product in a long time and I don’t plan to start any time soon.

in europe. thought i’d sleep off my frustration of cs4 still having this problem. still frustrated after my sleep. can’t install the program and working on it over internet on my desktop with illustrator is very problematic. causing me time and pain, which is money. this problem should be handled by a class action lawsuit.

another of the non-intuitive things adobe gets credit for.

First of all, Adobe, this is ridiculous! Even putting other issues aside, there’s a lot of user benefit to not having to reformat one’s hard disk.

Maybe I’m missing something, but the message is talking about the OS volume, not the install volume, and comes up before you have a chance to choose where to install meaning you can’t choose to install on a diskimage unless you somehow make it the startup disk. So, am I misunderstanding something?

This issue happens when you’ve formatted your disk with HFS+, Case Sensitive. I like the solution above since it doesn’t requireyou to wipe your drive clean :) It’s on the Adobe bug list.

Ohhhhh….that’s a good idea!!! I will have to test that out.
