I cannot install Dreamweaver CS5.5 on my new laptop.

It requires I install Dreamweaver CS3 which I did. Then Dreamweaver 3 requires yet another install of something I have not had for 10 years. So I am unable to use Dreamweaver. What a load of you know what. I know software pirating is an issue but this is beyond absurd. I purchased upgrades over the years and have the license keys for the upgrades (CS3 and CS5.5) now find out they are worthless.

Not true in my case. Here is what I did:
Downloaded DreamWeaver CS5.5 and installed it. It asked for my key.
I installed the CS5.5 key and was told it was not a valid key.
Contacted support and was told to enter the DreamWeaver CS3 key.
Entered the CS3 key and was informed that the system could not find any evidence of CS3 on my laptop.
Downloaded and installed CS3.
Entered the key for CS3 and was told I needed the key for yet another older, long gone, product.
Uninstalled DreamWeaver (all versions) and every other Adobe product.
Purchased replacement products for the now gone Adobe products.
Began working on learning the new apps.

  • Cannot install Dreamweaver CS5.5

    My Windows 7 laptop disk crashed so I've had to re-install all my software.I tried using the original package CD install but got an error
    "Installer failed to Initialize. Please download Adobe Support advisor to detect problem." The link took me to a page saying this tool has been
    discontinued. Logged onto my Adobe account and eventually found a page to download the installer. Tried that and got the same error.
    So now I have no way to re-install the software I bought.

  • Installing DW CS5 on my new laptop running 8.1.  Error message " Installer failed to initialize"

    After the CD install failed with the "Installer failed to initialize" ewrror I contacted support and they gave me a download link... same error message. 

    That's strange, Are you checking at the below location ?
    Windows 7 and Windows 8 : \Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Temp
    Run the installer again, and after error prompt, please collect the logs from TEMP folder(location stated above) and share.
    You may follow the step suggested in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-error-messages-bootstrapper-cs5.html #main_Installer_failed_to_initialize_ as well.

  • Problem installing DW CS5.5 on new computer

    I am trying to install DW CS5.5 on new computer -- old hard drive died. Years ago I upgraded to the CS5.5 from a Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 version. I no longer have the serial number of the original version, which I used to upgrade to CS5.5. In fact, when I did that there was a phone number to call, and I was given a special number to put in the serial number slot and it worked for the upgrade. So now I am trying to install from the CD I used the last time and it is asking me for the original DW8 version, which I no longer have. Any suggestions on how I should proceed? I would love to talk to Dreamweaver support by phone, but cannot find a number, nor can I find a live chat option anywhere. 
    Thank you,

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.

  • I've installed Photoshop CS5 on a new latop but it doesn't recognize my RAW files.  Additionally, repeated attempts to perform available updates have failed.  The laptop has Windows 8.1 64Bit.

    I've installed Photoshop CS5 on a new latop but it doesn't recognize my RAW files.  Additionally, repeated attempts to perform available updates have failed.  The laptop has Windows 8.1 64Bit.

    I don't know who you talked to, but some of the support techs tend to look at CS5 as "no longer sold or supported" and usually don't want to mess with it.
    We are mostly user-volunteers and have time to help you out. Some of us get perks from Adobe, but we are not employees.
    I actually gave you the links to the two very important CS5 updates, but you want to peruse this general list Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    and get the Bridge CS5 updates as well. Adobe - Bridge : For Windows

    check your account, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
    if it's not there and still installed on your old win computer you can use belarc advisor, Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…

  • I had purchased CS5 and installed it on my laptop (PC). That laptop has crashed, and I want to de-activate and re-install CS5 on my new laptop (PC).  How can I do this?  Thanks!

    I have the serial number too!
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    in my eyes you only have to install your CS5 on your new PC, as usual. For further informations you can use

    Good luck!

  • I cannot install Creative Cloud or download new CC applications. What is the fix?

    I cannot install Creative Cloud or download new CC applications. What is the fix?

    I am on Windows 7 - 64bit.
    I can not download the new Creative Cloud App from online in the Download Center.
    When I try to by clicking on download, it opens the old Adobe Application Manager and Creative Cloud is not there to chose to install.
    I was able to install most of my CC applications through the Adobe Application Manager.
    I am unable to get Acrobat installed though. The Adobe Application Manager will download Acrobat Pro XI and extract it, but it has a little yellow ! sign that says Installation Failed.
    If we can get the new Creative Cloud app installed, maybe I can get Acrobat Pro XI installed afterwards.
    When I click the yellow error sign it gives me a web page with the following message:
