Can't Uninstall Flash CS3 Professional

Yes I've looked around the web and Adobe forums. There's a whole mess of things I'm trying to fix right now so I might as well start from top and keep it compact.  Scroll down to where it says "Let's recap" if you wanna get a summary of my technical issues. It may scare away some of you, but please at least someone respond. (ps all links are put here purposefully by me)
I joined a site called newgrounds and became fascinated by flash movies there. I found a link which lead me to Flash CS3 Professional free trial download page.  I installed the program without a single problem. But after installation & restarting I couldn't find flash in there at all instead I found these (screenshot). I asked for help on newgrounds, and got advice to install CS4 instead. First I attempted to uninstall CS3, but it will only let me uninstall the Flash Player 9 ActiveX Component and not the program. I looked this up and the solution seemed to be CS3Clean Script. However I have two problems: first off I can't backup my files like recommended because the backup drive doesn't have enough room, which means 7.63GB out of 10GB is somehow being used (screenshot). If I decided to run CS3Clean Script without backing up my data I'd get a message telling me I need to install Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. (screenshot) Which leads me to my second problem.  When I run the file to install "Windows Installer CleanUp" (just downloaded)  I get this error. What does it mean? Because I am on the Administrator's account so I don't understand why I don't have privileges.
That's all of it!
Let's recap:
+Can't Uninstall "Flash CS3 Professional" Trial
+Can't use "CS3Clean Script" to Uninstall Flash unless "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" is installed
+Can't Install "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" because of this error
Minor-ish problem slightly related---> Can't back up data in case something else goes wrong!
ps Did I scare any of y'all away yet?

Clear all registry entries manually, folders and directories
then do the
installation all over again.

  • Flash CS3 Professional CRASHING

    I can't post in the Customer Service Center because it's my
    work's copy and I have no info on the software.
    Flash CS3 Professional is crashing immediately (with generic
    error message of having to close Flash) when I open an existing fla
    file OR try to create a new one. It crashed originally when I
    accidentally pasted a paragraph of text into the font tab instead
    of a font. I restarted and it was still broken. I got the tech
    person to uninstall and reinstall the software and it STILL
    CRASHES. What is going on?? Anyone??? I need this to do aspects of
    my job, so I need help ASAP. Thanks!

    It's incredible how Adobe forums have declined in recent
    times. Most posts here have 0 responses.
    I too have this problem - and when trying to save workspace
    settings.

  • Adobe Flash CS3 Professional with Windows8

    Can't download Adobe Flash CS3 Professional using Windows 8. Help!!
    Adobe Flash CS3 Professional

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • Do I need to purchase Flash CS3 Professional?

    I am just learning Fireworks cs3 with a tutorial which is now requiring that I use Adobe Flash CS3 Professional.  Being a beginner I am not certain if this is an extension download or do I have to purchase a program.  There does not seem to be phone support-they just directed me to this forum.  I realize that this is an older version.  Am I just supposed to download Extension Manager 1.8 for Windows?  I have Vista Windows.  I am confused between software programs and extensions.

    CS3 is an archived product.  You will have to download the trial version of Flash CS5 Pro which gives you 30 days to try
    the software after which you will be required to purchase it or uninstall it.  If you plan on doing more web design work such as with Dreamweaver then I would recommend investing in one of the Creative Suite bundles.

    Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
    I hope this helps.

  • New 9.0.2 update for Flash CS3 Professional

    I just ran the new Flash CS3 Professional update via the
    Adobe Updater. Everything ran and reported the update was
    successfully completed. However Flash still says it's 9.0.0.494 in
    the Finder and when choosing About Flash from the program it says
    9.0. Just wondering if the update really happened or not.

    Bentley: There is a downloadable update available NOW. And
    based on what you say the language is confusing.
    12/12/2007 Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2) delivers
    support for the latest update of Adobe Flash Player 9. This update
    includes a new Video Playback component supporting H.264, support
    for Flash Lite 3 Update for Flash CS3 Professional, and all Debug
    and Release versions of this new Adobe Flash Player. For users of
    Flash CS3 Professional, this update will also be available via
    Adobe Update Manager in Flash CS3 Professional.
    It states "Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)". You should
    change that, as it does not appear to be the case. The language
    definitely implies that the program itself will be updated to
    9.0.2.

    I have not used Flash regularly for several years, MX04 being

    than MX04? I last programmed with ActionScript 1.0 - how different
    is 2.0? Any books to recommend?

  • Uninstalling Flash CS3

    anyone has got the answer ?? i downloaded the trial version
    of Adobe Flash CS3 from adobe.com and now i want to uninstall it.
    As i try to uninstall it whoaaaaa ... i can't. It asks for the
    original installation media. I even tried buring the setup files on
    a CD but still keeps on asking for the CD.
    This problem is applicable for all the CS3 products. I dont
    know what's wrong with CS3s.
    Dont suggest me to re-install the whole OS again.
    Please anyhow I just want to uninstall CS3. It's been
    something like dream for me now.. i wonder how can i uninstall ...
    how can i ???

    I checked my specs, and everything seems to be fine. The only things it doesn't meet are the recommendations for Adobe SpeedGrade, which I don't plan on using.

  • How to uninstall Flash CS3

    I have F7/F8 installed and I recently tried the CS3 trial
    version but now I want to uninstall it ... BUT HOW???
    I went to add/remove progs (winXP) and clicked on remove CS3
    and it starts up the installer. But it only gives me a choice to
    remove "some components of CS3" namely the F9 acitvex player and
    the video encoder. I dont want to remove the F9 player as I am
    using it in other applications (like Flex etc) the encoder can go
    but there is no option to remove the whole of CS3.
    Since it seemed to consume a few hundred megs when I
    installed it I am desperate to remove it as I am short of disk
    space
    ANyone got an answer??
    Thanks

    There is a program Adobe created that will uninstall it. It
    is a seperate download, if you search in the forum you will find
    several links and uninstall docs. If you are using Windows XP,
    check to see if there was a restore point created before the trial
    was installed. If so, restore to the previous restore point before
    the trial was installed. This will ONLY remove the registry
    entries, you can then remove the files manually.
    I would still use the add/remove option in control panel and
    select the video encoder because if you aren't going to use the
    Flash program then you don't need that anyway. I am not so sure
    that it wont uninstall the main IDE software, I am not sure if you
    tried to uninstall or just got to the checkbox point.
    I actually uninstalled the trial software completely,
    uninstalled all the plugins and encoders. I still have Studio 8 and
    all the encoders and software was still installed after I
    uninstalled the CS3 trials. I would have had to reinstalled the
    flash plugin for IE and FF again but that only takes a few minutes.
    I did go and look, after the uninstaller completed and all the
    software that was installed in the program files/Adobe folder was
    completely gone. I mean the CS3 trials and folders were removed.
    Yes, I did do a reinstall of the full version once it arrived
    but I went through the same process everyone else seems to have
    gone through to remove the trials. It did work on my system, the
    removal. Took forever and had to uninstall every one of the
    software individually, that was a pain but it worked.
    I hope this helped, if not I tried.
    Thanks.

  • Can't Install Flash CS3 Trial

    Hi everyone -
    I'm new to Flash - in my quest to find a tool where I can
    develop rich internet application, or rich applications for that
    matter I decided to download the trial version of Flash CS3.
    But I can't seem to be able to install it no matter what I
    do.
    I downloaded the trial version (Windows - 403.71 MB). I
    extracted the file 'ADBEFLPRCS3_WWE.exe' and ran the setup.exe, the
    installation screen saying 'loading setup' opens for a second and
    then disappears - I don't have any application running when when I
    start the installation - and the only Adobe software I have in my
    machine is adobe writer/ reader.
    OS: Windows Professional with plenty of space and memory.
    Has anyone experienced the same issue and can help me.....I
    want to evaluate the software and then make a decision for
    purchase.
    Please Help
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion...
    But I never had to reinstall the OS in order to install an
    application, that seems a little bit extreme.
    Thanks,
