I have a new Mac with snow leopard and can't install Illustrator 10 because the installer crashes. However, according to the post at the link below, it can be installed on an older mac and the files can be copied to the new mac and it runs ok. The problem is I don't have an older mac and I need someone with an older mac to assist me. I have the Illustrator 10 disc and legal serial number. I would need someone to download and install on an older mac and then upload the resulting files to me. Is there anyone out there willing to help? http://groups.google.com/group/adobe.illustrator.macintosh/browse_thread/thread/47b109674fe08043

What you are thinking of is the ability to migrate in OS X. You can migrate accounts and software from one Mac to another. This would allow you to migrate Illustrator 10, but I am not sure about system compatibility. If it's not compatible, you may have to upgrade. Asking for someone to upload the resulting files after an install is vague and will not work.

In the link above, he/she said that it worked after copying it from the old mac via firewire. Instead of firewire, I would just use the internet. After installation, the adobe illustrator folder can be zipped using stuffit or something and then transferred to my computer where I could decompress it. Why wouldn't this work?

It won't work because Illustrator installs many files in many places outside of the applications folder. Some lighter apps will allow this, but not Illustrator.

No disrespect intended, but have you actually tried it? In the link above, both kim_w and Nini claim it will work, and kim_w claims to actually have done it successfully.

The link you posted is from two years ago. Hardware and software have moved forward since then. It's time to upgrade Illustrator. Sounds like it was sketchy at best back then... How new is your Mac? What model is it? What OS are you running? Illustrator 10 is not really compatible with 10.5, I doubt it would work well, if at all, in 10.6. To get Illustrator 10 on to a system that it will not install on, the only other option is to migrate it. Snow Leopard will not run Classic, so that's not an option either.

Yes, the link is two years ago and hardware and software have moved forward since then. But there are other considerations before deciding it's time to upgrade Illustrator. Here is a post on Adobe Forums and the latest post dated just a few months back saying Illustrator 10 runs on Snow Leopard. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2296575 All this doesn't really matter anyway. I respect your right to disagree. I am still just looking for someone with a PowerPC to assist me in the migration process.

If you don't mind reporting back, I'm curious to see how well Illustrator 10 works in Snow Leopard. That thread brings up a good point, did you install 10.6 with Rosetta? When you find a Mac you can migrate it from, it's actually quite simple. Just Target Mode the old Mac and run the Migration Utility on the 10.6 Mac.
