Fix Your Desktop

For anyone who, like me, has yet to upgrade from Photoshop CS to something newer, and is getting an error dialog on launching Photoshop CS on their case-sentivie volumes, here's a possible solution. The dialog complains that the CS app "Could not complete your request because certain required files were not found in the Adobe Photoshop CS Required folder. Please reinstall Photoshop to restore these files..," and here's the solution.

Navigate to Adobe Photoshop CS.app » (Control-Click and choose Show Package Contents » Contents » Resources » asn. In that folder, there should be a single file called PS.SIF. Rename the file to PS.sif, and Photoshop should now launch. The same thing needs to be done to ImageReady to get it to work. Note that I've only tested this with Photoshop CS and ImageReady CS, which are the only two CS apps I have. I can't speak for whether it works on any of the others.

It seems like a bit of a shame that Adobe couldn't take ...
