About this release
Overview
This collection bundles every desktop application in the suite into one download with a launcher that lets you tick the ones you want. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom Classic, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Animate, Media Encoder, Character Animator, Dreamweaver, Bridge, InCopy and the rest are all present, along with Camera Raw and the supporting components they share.
Installing from one package rather than eleven separate ones is the practical benefit. The shared components install once instead of being pulled down repeatedly, the versions are matched to each other so Dynamic Link and round tripping between applications behaves, and activation is handled for the whole set at the end rather than per application.
It is a very large download and the full install is larger still, so the launcher lets you build exactly the set you need. A photographer might take Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Bridge and Camera Raw and skip forty gigabytes of video tooling. An editor takes the video applications and leaves the layout and web tools behind. Everything installs offline with no account and nothing running in the background afterwards.
What it does
Feature breakdown
Every desktop application in one package
The photo, vector, layout, video, audio, animation and web applications together, with the shared components they depend on.
Selective installation
Tick only the applications you want from the launcher rather than installing the whole forty gigabyte set.
Matched versions
All applications from the same release cycle, so Dynamic Link and file exchange between them behaves as intended.
Shared components installed once
Camera Raw, the colour engine and the common libraries installed a single time rather than per application.
Activation for the whole set
Handled at the end of installation for every application you selected, with no separate step per program.
Fully offline
No account, no background service, no update checks, and nothing that starts with Windows.
Changed in this build
Version 17.03.2025
- Launcher rebuilt with size estimates per application so you can plan the install.
- Shared component handling improved, cutting total install size on a full selection.
- Updated point releases folded in for several of the bundled applications.
- Fixed a failure when installing to a drive other than the system drive.
- Language selection now applies across every selected application at once.
Installation
Follow these in order
- Check you have the space. A full selection needs eighty gigabytes free after extraction.
- Go offline and stay offline throughout.
- Extract the archive to a drive with room for both the archive and the extracted files.
- Disable real time protection for the entire process.
- Run the launcher as administrator, select your applications and languages, and start the install.
- Let it finish completely, reboot, launch one application to verify, then re-enable protection.
Release notes
From whoever packed it
- Verify the archive hash before extracting. At this size a corrupted part is common and fails late.
- Remove any existing installation of the same applications first. Mixed versions share plugin folders and crash.
- Do not install the Creative Cloud desktop application afterwards. It will attempt to repair and undo the activation.
