Getting a "Setup Error" when I try to re-install Photoshop CS3

I've had a nightmare week.  My iMac crapped out and I lost the harddrive.  Now I'm slogging through the process of re-installing all my software.
Per the instructions of the Adobe Customer Service, I went into "My Adobe" > "My Orders" and downloaded the Photoshop CS3 I purchased in Sept. 2007.  (I know it's old but it serves the purpose I need).
But when I double click the "Setup" application, I get the following message:
Setup Error
Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
When I contacted Customer Support, they told me they could not help me because they do not offer support for old versions of CS and to post a question here, so that's what I'm doing.
Does anyone know what the "Setup Error" is and how I can re-install Photoshop CS3?

Is IE your default browser?
The address in that error is somewhat peculiar, in that it points to a process running on your computer (127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that points to your own system).
I suggest that after downloading and saving the Flash installer to a folder, you completely exit Firefox, and do the installation with Firefox closed in case having Firefox open is interfering in some manner.
Of course, make sure you get the official installer from Adobe, and '''uncheck the box for any tag-along software that you do not want''':

    Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"  -DSC8416.NEF  I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

    The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
    Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
    While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

  • I get a runtime error when I try to open itunes, any help?

    I get a runtime error when I try to open itunes, any help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    first try a different usb cable, remove all other usb devices, and try a different port in back on desktops if possible.  if no luck see these
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    First, turn off your CAPS lock.  Typing in all CAPS is considered screaming/yelling and many will simply ignore your posting.
    Are you currently having issues?  Is it when trying to purchase only on the device?  Are you able to complete purchases via iTunes on your computer?

    This usually happens when you had/ have a newer Adobe product like a trial on the system and it points to updated install components. You will have to uninstall each and every bit of Adobe software and then reinstall in the proper order. Running the cleaner tool may also be required.

  • Import error when importing .psd file created in Photoshop CS3

    I have a file that was created in Photoshop CS3. I am trying to import this file into Catalyst CS5, but I keep getting an input error. I created a file in Photoshop CS5 and I was able to import this .psd file successfully into catalyst. So I guess my question is this; Does Catalyst support .psd files created in Photoshop CS5 only? If this is the case, how can I convert the CS3 .psd to a CS5 .psd

    I am now building my files using photoshop CS5. A few challenges I have experienced while trying to import into Catalyst:
    - If I do a straight import into Catalyst, I loose all my colors in Catalyst. That is, catalyst imports all my vectors without any of the colors I had in Photoshop. My understanding is that Catalyst has libraries to support Photoshop files, so your import from Photoshop should not look any different in Catalyst.
    Work Around: I have had to rasterize / merged all my image layers for the different components I have built in Photoshop CS5. Then when I start the import process I click the Advanced button on the catalyst import dialog. From the advanced dialog, I have to flatten (to bitmap) all the images I intend to import.
    This process takes about two hours because I have a lot of components on the page.
    Is there something  I'm not doing right here? I'm not seeing the value add to Catalyst, if it's taking me this long to just import .psd files

  • I keep getting a Validation Error when I try to publish my site

    I continually update my site and every time I've done it before I just click Publish and it updates all the changes I've made; but now when I click publish it tries to log in to sign in to Business Catalyst for a bit and then I get a Validation Error that says "Access using your AdobeID has timed out. Check your network connection and try again." My network connection is fine and I can log in using my AdobeID no problem so I have no idea why it's not working.

    Hello,
    Please try the following steps:-
    1)Sign out of muse using Help-->Sign out.
    2)Close all the adobe apps.
    3)Sign out of CC app by expanding the top right gear like symbol-->Preferences-->Account-->Sign Out.
    4)Sign in back to CC app.
    5)Launch muse and try publishing again.

  • I get a Runtime error when i try to search within the iTunes store

    Please help! When in the iTunes store, I get a runtime error every time I try to use the search feature. I get a dialog box stating that Windows is searching for a solution, but then iTunes shuts down completely.

    I have the same error, but I think we will get no solution for this problem.
    You've get no answer here and the Apple support also doesn't send an answer how to solve the problem.
    BTW I have also Windows 7 and the newest version of iTunes 64-bit.
