Premiere Pro 2.0 Win 7 64 bit compatibility
Can someone tell me if PP 2.0 will work on a brand new Windows 7 64-bit machine? I have a Dell XPS 8300 Intel Core i5 machine and I want to install Premiere Pro 2.0 if it will work on a 64 bit machine. Help!!!!

CS2 was certified for a 32bit OS, I couldn’t get it to operate very good on XP64, CS4 was the first certified for Win7 64

I just found at a workaround, although probably everyone who couldn’t get PP2.0 has upgraded by now (although this program is still great at editing HDV footage).
Install Premiere Pro 2 as normal. Activate, etc. Try launching it for the first time, and you will see the splash screen and then it will disappear.
NOW, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe, locate the folder named Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. Right click on this folder, choose copy, then go to your Windows desktop, and choose paste. Wait patiently while it copies everything. Once the copy is done, go into the Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 on the desktop (not the one in program files), and double click on the Adobe Premier Pro executable. The program should launch and run as normal. Running it under XP compatibility may make it run smoother, but I don’t think this is required.
I discovered this fix after hours constantly trying various re-installs. After I while I realized it was a permission issue with the program files folder. Because YOU own the permissions to the Desktop, the permissions issue disappears.
Hopefully this helps someone other than me 🙂

Yeah, I’m afraid the workaround isn’t doing it for me, the splash screen still vanishes after a second, I’m hoping running Windows 7 Home Premium as opposed to Professional or Ultimate isn’t the reason.
If anyone has encountered that and found a solution, I would be grateful.
(for the record, I’m not dead against upgrading, I just want to take a crack at fixing this one first)
