So I got the Adobe Creative Suite 6 (Design & Web Premium) for MAC but didn't have a optical drive on the MacBook.
What I have is a Windows PC with DVD and an older Macbook with DVD which are connected via LAN
I've tried to simple copy and paste the directory to install the software and also tried it with an image without success.
Any help is much appreciated!
You can buy a SuperDrive for your Mac and do it that way. Alternatively, you can download an ISO of the CS CD (legal because you already own a copy) and mount it from OS X and install that way. I like the latter option because it's more technology and cos efficient, however, whatever floats your boat works.

I have an macbook air 2012, I recently installed Windows 10 in it using bootcamp.
I also downloaded the bootcamp drivers, and a folder named "BootCamp" and "$WinPEDriver$" were created in my Windows10 bootable usb. I was able to use it to install Windows10 and use it.
Then due to space issues I deleted the Windows partition, thinking I can always reinstall it, if needed.
Now I wish to reinstall it, but when I took a backup of the bootcamp drivers, I only backed up the "BootCamp" folder, I forgot to backup the "$WinPEDriver$" folder. Without "$WinPEDriver$" folder, Windows10 get installed without the drivers. When I try to manually start the setup.exe in BootCamp folder, it quits saying "$WinPEDriver$" folder is missing. So I created a empty folder named "$WinPEDriver$". With this the driver installation does proceed, but everything except the Broadcom_Bluetooth_Driver are getting installed. I tried to install the Bluetooth driver alone manually, that also didn't help.
So my question is,
Is there a way were I can download the "$WinPEDriver$" folder alone from Apple site. I live in a place where bandwidth is very low, so downloading another 2 GB of drivers will take 3 more days, and may also get interrupted frequently.
Or can I create the "$WinPEDriver$" folder manually, just as BootCamp Assitant creates it.
Or Is there a way to download the bluetooth drivers alone from apple site.
My bluetooth chipset information is Broadcom USB 20702A3.
Thanks.
Just create a blank folder called '$WinPEDriver$'and it'll work, I know you've probably sorted it by now but i thought i'd leave this here in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
I was able to download Apple bluetooth for windows drivers from a Parallels KB article on titled Unable to use Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller in Virtual Machine
As for the "$WinPEDriver$" it is included in the newest version of Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5769 although it is still large at 542.3 MB it is not the 2 GB you feared it would be.
The download includes both the BootCamp and $WinPEDriver$ folders.
Good luck!
Incase anybody needs this when you open up Bootcamp Assistant below the 'Action' tab there is a download button to install 'Windows Support Software'. You can download from there and plug in to the Windows by using flash drive or hard disk and make the setup.
I can't install the USB drivers for Microchip's Wireless Dev Board. The part number is "DM182017-1" for this kit.
I followed Microchip's instructions for downloading the USB driver, but the installer tool for USB provided doesn't work.
To see these instructions, Google the "MCS3142 Dual KeeLoq Encoder Wireless Remote Control Development Kit User's Guide" and scroll to section 8.2 in the PDF. This section provides several links for finding and downloading the installer tools.
The GUI downloads, both the KeyLoq encoder and decoder, downloaded just fine. For some reason, it was finicky about where it was downloaded. I fixed it by creating a folder on the desktop and changing the directory to that, but I don't know how that fixed anything.
I'm using a 64-bit Windows 7 OS, and am using the x64 installer tool that goes with that version. I created a ticket on Microchip's website, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. When I spoke to Microchip yesterday for a different issue, they admitted that this is a rather niche board.
There are a ton of files you need just to get started with this thing, and virtually no tutorials online beyond Microchip's documentation. Oh, and enjoy random freezing on your computer if you try to download the USB installer too many times. I had to restart my computer twice now.
Answered my own question. Looks like I didn't have admin privileges. Worked like a charm, and I can move on.
After downloading windows 8 install ISO with Windows 8 media creation tool I booted the ISO from my USB to install windows but when I clicked "install" an error said "A media driver on your computer is missing" How do i fix this?
I had the very same behaviour when trying to install Windows 10 through from a USB flash formatted with Microsoft's MediaCreationTool. The solution has been to install Windows 10 from a DVD rather than from the USB: using a DVD burnt with Microsoft's iso file, the software did not complain.
I have faced the same problem while installing windows 10 using USB and i too downloaded ISO using creation tool only... later again i changed the option like flash drive and downloaded then it worked for me ... may be you can try in this way.

If you are using a USB stick to install, When you get to that error, close everything till you get back to the install windows button. At that point unplug your USB stick and place it into another port and install as usual.
I've been using ArcGIS 10.1 on my MacBook Pro (2011 model) via Boot Camp for a few months. A few days ago, I just installed Parallels 9 in order to use ArcGIS and my Mac programs at the same time and I've run into an issue with the license needing to be repaired. When I try to open ArcMap via Parallels, I get an error message saying something to the effect of "the license is in need of repair". When I installed Parallels 9, I chose to import my Boot Camp so I didn't have to reinstall anything. My guess is that ArcGIS thinks Parallels is a different computer and that's why the license is failing? Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I can get a hold of another ArcGIS license so if it's a matter of using another license, I should be ok. Thanks.
You can not use ArcGIS on Bootcamp and VM with the same license key (single use license! - concurrenct use license with separat license server of course no problem). The license key is generated with some internal ids of your computer (eg ethernet MAC and other - you can match the ethernet MAC id in Parallels but thats not enough). You have to chose where you want to work with ArcGIS: bootcamp or VM (before licensing). Thats really annoying...
I had the same issue. Extremely annoying since it is without a doubt impossible to run both your BootCamp and VM versions at the same time. I never resolved it with traditional fixer.
If you are a student (hopefully you are) usually the person/department in charge of license distribution understand the need for both (rasters can be very sluggish on the VM side, but not always) when you are really putting the machine to the test.
SO, that is how i ultimately "solved" the issue. However, I believe the route issue to be the MAC address authentication, as I am experiencing the same problem in ArcGIS 10.2 when I tried to copy my VM from my MBP optical drive to my MBP sad - none of my tools are working.
When I first loaded the copied VM (by opening the VM file directly, not through Parallels) I was prompted if I wanted to use the same "......" (can't remember the actual term, but something along the lines of MAC id, or network address, etc.). Unfortunately I said no make a new one - WRONG ANSWER.
I'm trying to get it sorted now - just saved VM file, completely wiped Parallels, reboot, reinstall; and now I'm on the message boards trying to get this install right) [helpful ideal VM settings for ArcGIS specifically: http://maps.uky.edu/support/docs/BP_ArcGIS_on_Macv5.pdf ).
All that being said the first time I had this issue (month of nightmares, and late GIS homework) I had imported my VM from Bootcamp, which seems logical, but at that time (Parallels 8 and ArcGIS 10) it was still a license error I was receiving, but for some unremembered reason I was convinced it was because the VM calls its hard drive the "C" drive which it clearly is not - parallels merely translates this virtual C drive between the 2 OSs and their respective boot drives.
( I have not tried this next part yet) it might be worth trying to install your VM on the Mac side and then use the Windows or Parallels Migration Tool to create a Win migration file and then go to your BootCamp side (IMPORTANT - DEACTIVATE YOUR ESRI LICENSE BEFORE UNINSTALLING ARCGIS - if you don't do then you'll be mired in the "this license has reached its maximum allowable installations" or whatever they say).
If your Bootcamp side still has your ArcGIS, deactivate, then uninstall that version. Then try to import your migration file, but I've lost some of my Windows skills since switching to Mac, so I would do some research on that part. In theory since, your VM version was pointing to (for all intents and purposes) your "C" drive on the Mac side, hopefully the BootCamp install won't get as tripped up by the double installs as the VM did.
Just a thought, I realize as I finish this that you posted in October, so likely you've moved on, but if any of what I said is wrong, or if you found the best way to have it all, I would really appreciate your response.
going to install Mountain Lion OSX to multiple iMacs, to reduce the internet usage and get faster instalation id like to instal it from local source - already downloaded the instaler to one machine and extracted the DMG from installer
now - is there a way to connect the dmg the way so it is available as remote drive to the machine where I want to install (over LAN)?
with Disc Sharing on i know the CD/DVD can be shared, any knowledge whether it works for DMG files too? maybe disk utility somehow?
the catch is I have it downloaded on a new iMac 27" without a real drive and there is no "Disc Sharing" option in the sharing settings
Unfortunately, I know of no way to natively use i.e. PXE for Macs, so one would have to use Apples own methods. There is one that I did not test myself, using netboot and netrestore. Here is a link to a KB article:

Maybe this is a good starting point for more research?
