Running Dreamweaver and Photoshop from a CD?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

If I install Photoshop and Dreamweaver to a directory that I copy onto a CD, will they work?

If not, is there any way I can make them work?

It would be easier for me to have these to use without having to install them

i am afraid that you have to install them.
they are both gonna have hundreds of registry items each.
No way you are gonna be able to emulate that

do you think any old versions will work? I still have my older copies of Dreamweaver and Photoshop, been using it since 98

most proggies will install items to the registry, and definitely the larger progs.

no go

What if I was to do something so by double clicking on a file all the registry information was entered in?

Ah the good ol' DOS days when you COULD just copy the directory contents and run a program. But they are long gone...those days. You HAVE to properly install both these programs.

Hmm... format a CD-RW as a floppy and install on the CD. Would that work?

My Photoshop and Dreamweaver installs work fine after I've formatted my c: drive several times (apps are on another drive ). All I have to do is re-enter the CDKey for the programs.

I'm running Photoshop 6, not sure of the version of Dreamweaver I have, but it's fairly old, I bought it about 3 years ago
