How to install Adobe Photoshop 6

A quick word of advice: best to follow the instructions below precisely and to the letter, including folder names and paths, that way you will reduce the risk of having any problems…

  1. Obtain your copy of the Longbow Reviver tool here – you need version 4.10 or newer

    3. Now click the ‘Fix and Run Old Installer’ button
    4. Read and understand all the prompts that appear, then continue by clicking OK.
    5. You will need to wait up to 45 minutes before seeing the Adobe Photoshop 6.0 setup screen appear, be patient!
      1. If you have waited 90 minutes and nothing has appeared, reboot into Safe Mode and try this same process again.
  4. Once your Adobe Photoshop 6.0 setup screen appears, install as normal except:
    1. When you arrive at the install to ‘Destination Folder” – it is vitally important that you install to c:\adobe\photoshop6 (not C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 6.0 as normally prompted)

  • I am customer of Longbowsoftware since 2017. The reviver app has helped me to re-install older Windows programs such as MathCAD2000, Photpshop 6, Corel Printhouse and others. 2019, when re-installing a new Windows 10 version 1903 on my PC, Longbowsoftware staff was very helpful in providing the latest version of reviver app to me free and it worked just fine!! This year I purchased a new machine for my wife which is now Windows 10 version 2004. There were several issues with new programs to install on this Windows version.

    After contacting Longbowsoftware this February 2021 again, they sent me the newest reviver app once mor for free. Installing Photoshop 6 ended in a problem that the program installed but aborted on runing with an error message. A service call from a Longbowsoftware technician via Teamviewer solved the problem. On this Windows 10 version 2004 Photoshop 6 runs only in Windows 98 mode. Thats fine for me. Thanks to the great help of Longbowsoftware!! This reviver ist the only product on the market that really solves installing problems of older programms under new Windows 10.
