CS2 Crashing on Launch

Hi All,
I've been beating my head against my computer for hours now! I can't get Adobe CS2 to install on my Quad G5. I did a complete OS reinstall (except reformatting) without preserving my older user folder, and it still won't launch. After installing, if you double click the icon, it immediately closes with the following console error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeAGM.framework/Versions/A/AdobeAGM
Referenced from: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe Photoshop CS2.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop CS2
Reason: image not found

The only thing unusual about my system is that my system drive is software RAID striped together with Disk Util.

I tried it once with just reinstalling the OS and then patching to 10.4.6, I also tried reinstalling and not patching anything (10.4.4).

A few other people on the board have had this problem, but I can't figure out how to resolve it!

Quad 2.5 G5, Mac OS X (10.4.6), 2 GB RAM, RAID-striped 2x 250 GB

On a windows box, there is a known issue with AGM and Norton Internet Security Suite. (Firewall issue)

Infering from what Pshop does when you open it on a Mac (check for updates) I wonder if it is trying to access internet, and you have a firewall (either built in or 3rd party), casuing
loading to stop.

If you use Font book, you may also want to tempoarily disable it - Pshop is sometimes flakey with what it thinks are bad fots.
