Flash CS3 trial installation failure when Flash 8 Pro installed

I am trying to install the trial version of Flash CS3 on my
PC.
The installation fails to install Flash CS3 or Shared
Components. I currently have a fully licensed copy of Flash 8
Professional installed on the same PC. Is there some reason I can't
do this?
I am trying to see if we want to upgrade to CS3 by checking
out the improvements/features etc. Sure, I could go ahead and spend
the $200 but we may not need the improvements.
Presumably there would be no problem upgrading to CS3 and
that the problem is caused by the fact I am trying to install a
full version trial rather than an upgrade.
Can anybody confirm that this is the case?
One of the things I wanted to test with CS3 is the
possibility of loading a Flex .swf into a Flash shell to be able to
run as an executable. We are not currently in the market for AIR
which will allow that. We are just trying to add the ability to run
our code as a stand-alone.
Any help/comments appreciated.
TIA
Colin

Certain components install with no problem. Adobe Bridge CS3,
Adobe Device Central CS3, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 and Adobe
Flash CS3 Video Encoder are installed. But Flash itself and the
Shared Components are not installed.
The problem with AIR is that I would need CS3 installed to
use it. So I can't check that out yet either :-(

were owned by Macromedia, install in a Macromedia Folder, however,
CS3 will install in an Adobe Folder, so, no conflict.
2) AIR is free, so not being in the market makes no sense. It
is an 'extension' to Flash CS3 or Flex or Dreamweaver, that can be
downloaded.

  • Can't get rid of Flash CS3 Trial !

    I did a search first, no real solutions in prior posts that I
    could see. Searched the rest of Adobe too.. no solutions found that
    apply.
    In January I downloaded and installed the Flash CS3 Trial.
    I'm not going to buy it, so now that the trial has expired, I want
    it OFF my machine. I ran it thru the usual Add/Remove Programs.
    Well, my machine rebooted (I was doing something else at the time
    and never did see any prompts to reboot from the installer
    program), but when it came back up the Flash CS3 trial
    was still there ! So, I tried the add/remove again - only
    this time the only thing it would uninstall are the Flash Player
    and the Flash Player 9 ActiveX component ! NO choice to get rid of
    the actual program.
    What do I have to do to get this program OFF my hard drive ?
    There's no other uninstall program, the add/remove programs is
    useless, and the only thing even close for getting rid of it was
    some CS3clean script - which was apparently meant for deleting the
    early BETA versions.
    How can Adobe NOT supply an uninstall mechanism other than
    add/remove programs - most other software I've ever used does
    !!

    Thanks, wasn't sure about that. It's not a problem, Flash CS3
    is the ONLY CS3 product on my machine. I have Studio 8 currently
    installed, and CS2 Suite too, so hopefully that won't be trashed.

  • Flash CS3 trial setup won't work

    I downloaed from the Adobe website the trial version of Flash
    CS3. However, when I click on the setup exe file the setup screen
    shows for a couple of seconds then disappears. Has anyone else
    experienced this? My operating system is Vista Home Premium.

    Uninstall it, do a reboot, then after you come back from the
    reboot, erase the files in c:/program files/adobe/flash cs3/
    directory.
    Then reinstall flash cs3, works for me if silly things like
    that happen.

  • Flash CS3 trial version - Dreamweaver 8 won't work anymore

    I recently installed the trial version of Flash CS3. It
    worked fine, but after the 30 day evaluation period, Dreamweaver 8,
    an app I've had installed for a few years now ceases to work. It
    loads up, then immediately crashes. Prior to that, both apps worked
    fine concurrently.
    I uninstalled the Flash CS3 trial version. Still, Dreamweaver
    8 crashes.
    I found the CS3Clean Script, ran that, and Dreamweaver 8
    still crashes.
    I'm positive this has something to do with the 30 day
    evaluation period, because I was using Dreamweaver fine yesterday.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    I've tried re-installing Dreamweaver along with the 8.0.2
    update and still get the same results.
    I have Flash 8 installed already, if that helps.
    Thanks.

    This really depends on what exactly you want to do.
    To export Photos from iPhoto to the Finder just use the Export command: file -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    But this will not save you any disk space unless you also delete the photos from iPhoto.
    If you want to move the Library to a flash drive: first make sure it's big enough.
    Then make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the Flash Drive.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

    Hello,
    I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
    I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
    Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
    What could be the problem?
    Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
    for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
    When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
    The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
    in task category Windows Update Agent..
    I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    registry key as suggested in Windows
    Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
    "ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
    "ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
    Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
    However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.  
    Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
    Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
    Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
    Thank you in advance.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hi,
    According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
    You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
    On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

  • Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922

    Hi folks,
    I have a HP Elitebook Folio 9470p.  It came with Windows 8, and I installed it on my corporate domain.  I was trying to do some Windows updates so  I could upgrade it to Windows 8.1, but it fails installing the updates, whether or not I try
    to install them one at a time or all of them.  It has about 18 updates it needs from security updates to a .net framework update.  I run Symantec EP, and disabled it, checked for driver updates for things like display and networking and they are
    all up to date.
    I'm at a loss as to what to do.  It gives this error in the event log for each file, Event ID 20.
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922: Security Update for Windows 8 for x64-based Systems (KB2862152).
    This is the example for KB2862152, but it gives the same error for every one.  I've tried to auto fix for Windows update issues and it fixed a couple of the issues, but not all of them, and provides no other help.
    I also deleted folders and files from the SoftwareDistribution folder as well, to no avail.  Any ideas what I can do to get whatever updates it needs, so I can fully patch it, and upgrade it to Win 8.1?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi MM. Mr Kywildcat and Vegan Fan,
    GOOD NEW ! At this time, my issue is solved. The only black side is "how ?" : I hope that we will get a response some day ; however, and for in information  pnly - hoping this could help someone - I resume some actions which allowed this the happy end
    1) about installing 8.1 : I wanted to be sure that gain/pain ratio was positive, and that upgrading from a (potentially) damaged system would'nt produce something looking like a new Win 8.1, but difficult to maintain and keeping some negative potentialities.
    2) I was influenced by the fact that this
    0x800F0922  error acted as "a serial killerror", whose root cause could be a unique update error at reboot time concerning several (>20) packages, so I decided to test some manual upgrades.
    3)   Manual update (i.e. manual download and maunching of .msu packages) of the 2 following packages
    (whose update previously failed on a Windows Update) was successful : .NET Framework version 3.5 for  x64 (KB2898866) and Camera Codec Pack Windows 8 for x64 (KB2899190)
    4) So I decided to try Windows Update on a selection of packages, first : those concerning .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5 (that is: KB2898866, 2901120, 2898865) --> Successful !
    5) finally, I selected almost all other packages, with some exceptions wich I (think to) have no need for : KB2871690, 2904659, 2843630. To be complete, here is the list of pakages updated one time at all :
    KB 2892074, 2893294, 2893984, 2909210, 2912390, 2916036, 2889784,2903938, 2911101, 2913152, 2917499
    --> always succesful.
    I am not a specialist, but I uess that this 0x800F0922 error hides another problem which is globally "H-RESULTED"
    to all updates pending in one update operation with reboot. This could be assumed from this CBS.log exterped from my last wrong attempts, where root cause seems not to be
    0x800f0922, but 0x80004003 :
    2014-02-15 21:29:13, Info                  CBS    Could not get active session for current session file logging [HRESULT = 0x80004003 - E_POINTER]
    2014-02-15 21:29:13, Info                  CBS    Not able to add pending.xml.bad to Windows Error Report. [HRESULT = 0x80070002 - ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND]
    2014-02-15 21:29:18, Error  CBS    Startup: Failed to process advanced operation queue, startupPhase: 0.  A rollback transaction will be created. [HRESULT = 0x800f0922 - CBS_E_INSTALLERS_FAILED]
    Anyway, thanks to you who spent some of your time to describe issues and search/ suggest solutions ; I will upgrade my system to 8.1 anyway, some of this day, when I am sure that my configuration does not hides some other problem. I thing that potential
    issue remains until maybe a new KB corrects it, wrong :-) ?
    And I hope that you - Mr Kywildcat - can upgrade your system on "current levels" trying similar attempts.

  • 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,

  • Problem openning + setting up Flash cs3 trial

    I get an error when i open ADBEFLPRCS3_WWE.EXE (Flash cs3 )
    this is the picture:
    My
    Error i get when i open the Flash cs3 setup, please click image to
    get a better view.
    And please zoom in to the picture to see the error ( just
    click the image)
    It comes up with an error! Ive already downloaded flash mx
    2004 and flash 8.
    Hopefully you can help!

    The fix: Change the namespace on the second line of <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml
    FROM:   <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.6">
    TO:   <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/13.0">
    A brief and incomplete background:
    The file <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml is the ‘application descriptor file’. When using the project files downloaded with the tutorial (that contained the 3.6 reference), the builder did not find this compatible with the configuration on my computer (a trial version I installed today - 5/3/2014 - and patched according to the tutorial). I never did figure out how to lookup valid namespaces and am still confused about how all the sdk’s relate to each other. I stumbled upon this solution by creating a fresh new project and found that the namespace specified by the new project wizard was “13.0” on this line of this file.

  • Flash CS3 will NOT export my flash video

    Alright, so I want to start out by saying, I hate Microsoft
    (always will, they will never get anything right) and if I had
    1500+ bucks I would buy a mac, but I'm stuck with my XP machine.
    My machine is a Dell (reformatted so that I don't have all
    Dell's "junkware"). I have a Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz with HT, 2GB DDR2
    RAM, and a Radeon x600 HyperMemory 256MB graphics card. I also run
    Windows XP and my version of CS3 is Web Premium (Student, but that
    shouldn't make a difference.) So my machine is more than compatible
    with Flash Pro CS3. But for some reason, when ever I do ANYTHING to
    "Publish" my flash video, it (the one and only Windows XP) will
    come up and say that Flash CS3 needs to close. I have tried Debug,
    I'm pretty sure I've tried everything.
    This is my first flash movie and so far I'm getting the worst
    impression from my software. It's not anything that is REALLY
    complicated, All I have is text tweening in and out of my canvas
    (and yes they are converted to symbols).
    Not quite sure what else to do other than give up. Please
    help me!

    I am having a similar problem. Looks like this issue is languishing in Adobe's legendary support netherworld...

  • Installations stops when trying to install Adobe Acrobat XI on Mac OS 10.8.4

    I kept getting this message that Adobe Acrobat was not able to update the software and so I decided I would just update my software from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for mac to vs 11.  I called tech support and they told me to uninstall acrobat 9 Pro completely first, which I did.  Now, I have downloaded version 11 and tried installing this via the trial (wanted to make sure it worked) and as it goes through the install process, it gets hung up with one minute to go trying to rewrite script files.  It stays like this for enternity.  If you right click on installer to force quit the install, it won't let you.  If you go to the apple sign and force quit it from the menu, it will kill the installer.  However, the computer won't shut down because it still thinks it is installing software.  So the only way to kill it is to do a hard reset.   I called tech support and was on hold for for 40 minutes and then the tech tried for an hour to fix this.  This included deleting the uninstall program for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and also reinstalling the software from a fresh download that he sent me.  I still had the same result. 
    To make matters worse, I only have Acrobat Pro v 8 on disc (there was a free vs 9 upgrade that was online that I got) and as a result, I don't have version 9 to install back onto the computer.  The tech was going to try to send me a link to download version 9 but he wasn't sure he could do it.  Someone was going to get back to me, but no one has yet.  So now, not only do I not have version 11, I don't even have my old version 9!!!!  My only option is to go back to version 8 which I have the disk for.  This is ridiculous.  So if anyone out there has some suggestions on how I can get version 11 to install, that would be great.  I am running Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a 13" Macbook Pro with Retina.  Thanks.

    I've been scouring every place I can possibly think of for nearly four hours trying to find an Acrobat 9 Mac download - no luck I can find Windows downloads back to 8, but nothing for Mac.
