And one more think, the crack is loaded with trojan/virus. The actual installation is totally clean. In case you don't want to use the infected crack, download from the link given below. I've cleaned it using the above mentioned process.
[Resolution]
Note: Do this when you are not connected to internet or you have a firewall installed.
If you execute the crack and if you have a firewall installed you will get notifications that the above two files (crack.exe and setup_ver1.1773.0.exe) are trying to connect to some sites...maybe for downloading more of their brother and sisters and a message , "The licensing system failed catashtophically...". Now don't press OK. Goto %USERPROFILE%Local SettingsTempIXP000.TMP and copy the photoshop.exe to some safe location. Now press OK. The folder will be deleted. Copy this Photoshop.exe to your program files location and you are done. Delete rest of the files.
Ok friends...here is the breaking news...this torrent DOES contain virus.
This post is for all those who have wasted their precious MBs behind this torrent and in the hope to save them from downloading another torrent.
First of all, the installation is clean. It does not create any problem while installing on my XP SP2 box. The problem is in the crack. The crack is infact a wrapper of the original crack. Yes, the crack does contain the original crack file but when you execute it, it will drop three files in following locations
So, as you might have already understood, Photoshop.exe is the original crack file while the other two are unwanted. I did the scan for the two files and the results are as follows....
