Dear Adobe: What the hell is this?
After following Steven Frank’s advice to find out if Adobe’s software is causing Mac OS X’s kernels to log errors every few seconds, I tried downloading the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool to try and fix the problem. Never mind the fact that Console.app locks up every time I try to start it (could Adobe’s apps be causing this? Who knows!), the image above is what you’re greeted with after mounting the DMG.
What the hell is acresso_tool? I can only assume .py is a Python file (no, I’m not a developer). LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app sounds like something useful, but then what the hell are mac_install_lima and mac_install_lucknow. Should I be wishing for “luck now,” before I begin this process? Maybe Adobe should have tossed in a pray_to_a_few_dieties_for_the_hellofit directory to truly drive the sense of broken 21st century despair home.
Or maybe Adobe could have included some instructions to let users know what the hell to do with all this crap. Would a .txt file and a few sentences really have been that hard?
Really Adobe?
I am seriously considering uninstalling all of Creative Suite Web Premium CS3, whipping out a video camera, and setting fire to the retail box and install discs. Maybe it’ll be a big hit on YouTube.
Hey, then I could say I got some genuine use out of an Adobe product for once.
