Problems Re-Installing Adobe CS3 Illustrator

Hello,
I was having problems with Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Acrobat. Specifically making pdfs from InDesign (which contained illustrator eps). I took out my Illustrator CS3 preferences and threw the application in the trash. Now, even though I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, I can't re-install Illustrator. I have a job that must go out on Monday and need to get this fixed. Adobe Photoshop works fine and so does InDesign. Acrobat is still problematic. I believe this Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium is an upgrade from a CS2 Premium. I no longer have the CS2, having thrown it away.
When I try to install Illustrator off my CS3, the application seems to be working for a while, then it asks me for a CS4 disk (which I don't have and never purchased).
Can someone please help me?
Best,
Roshi33

  • Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem or is it not compatible with the OS?

    I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

  • Problems installing Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' after a clean install of Windows 8

    When trying to re-install Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' Autoplay does not initiate install of application.

    Well, does it launch manually? Win 8 suppresses auto-starts by default for "risky" files like installers...

  • Unable to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium on Leopard

    Everytime I try to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium I get the error message something like "Unable to install. Your file system is not supported". I formatted my system drive with hfs case-sensitive, could this be the problem.

    I don't know if this as anything to do with it but on Tiger, CS3 didn't install if Safari 3 was installed. Nor dit it uninstall. I had to remove Safari 3 to install or uninstall CS3.
    I know that you can't easily remove Safari 3 from Leopard.

  • Problem with installing adobe illustrator cs6?

    I am having trouble installing adobe illustrator cs6.When it gets to 2% it says "the setup encountered an error (37) during install. Please restart the machine and try again." I tried restarting my computer but it still shows that message.
    Also at the beginning it said "Installer has detected that a machine restart may be pending.It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart and try again" and i clicked ignore and continue.
    When i installed adobe photoshop cs6 last year it was successful.

  • Cannot install Adobe CS3, Installer fails

    Hi, everybody,
    I hope somebody can help me here, as for almost 3 weeks now I am trying to install Adobe's CS3 Design Premium and I can't get it to work. Adobe's tech support is very friendly and comes with solutions and things to try now and then but first response time is really slow (48h) and secondly they haven't found a solution yet, though being escalated up in Tech Support levels already.
    Problem:
    Can't install CS3 (English version), Design Premium
    Platform:
    WinXP Professional SP2 2002 (all patches) US
    Intel Pentium M 1.7 GHz
    1.5 GB RAM
    C:, D: Partition
    On C: still 25 GB available
    Computer is in domain.
    Have tried to install it as local Admin and Domain-User (who is also in local Admin group with all rights).
    Furthermore CS2 is installed, Macromedia, Office products etc.
    Details:
    1. Can start installer, all screens are accessible, can make entries everywhere.
    2. Installation starts and progress bar appears.
    3. Installers runs to the end (without any problem), summary screen comes.
    4. Summary says that some products could not be installed.
    5. Installer installed the "smaller" apps, like Acrobat, Device Central, Bridge etc. BUT NOT Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator etc.
    Side effect is that, as Acrobat and Distiller cannot be activated by itself, I cannot use them anymore and the CS3 installer does remove these two CS2 products. Well, working with Reader currently :-(
    Also, the numerous uninstallations (45 min!) remove also PDF plug-ins and Flash plug-ins, so a terrible situation to be in.
    What I have tried so far (and which hasn't worked):
    1. Ran CHKDSK over the hard disks, no issues.
    2. Installed from hard disk (instead DVD).
    3. Disabled all services and startups, as well as firewalls, virus scanners etc.
    4. Let the cs3clean script run (provided by Adobe, which resolves problems if you had CS3 beta installed, which I didn't), with level 1 and 2.
    5. Tried to install only specific applications (not all).
    6. Ran MSCLeanup app.
    7. Analyzed CS3 Install log for FAILED, Error Code 3 etc., no dramatic entries. Only thing that sometimes appears:
    - Error 1303, not enough privileges for CONFIG.MSI, which seems to be a known MS issue when the hard disk responds too late. Of course privileges for CONFIG.MSI are there, also tried reapplying them, deleting folder etc.
    8. Applied privileges new to all folders.
    9. Ran a registry cleaner
    10. Deinstalled Bridge 1.0
    11. Tried it in Safe Mode, not possible (Installer says cannot be run in sfae mode).
    More:
    Adobe tech support also suggested to uninstall Bonjour, but I cannot find any entry and therefore have no idea how to uninstall. Add/Remove programs doesn't list it.
    As the Installer runs about one hour, it is not only time-consuming, it also kills my productivity, as no Browser, Adobe or MS product can run when the installer is running.
    Googled for error 1303 and CONFIG.MSI similar problems. Found numerous entries with CS3 installation issues, with some the CS3 Beta clean script helped, others had success with copying installation folder to hard disk, everybody something else (or no solution). And nothing that helped me.
    As I know haven't heard from Adobe Tech Support for four working days, does anybody have any idea what else I could try?
    Thanks
    Matthias

    There are log files that record the process of installation. If errors occur, they will be recorded in those log-files.
    You should open up the log file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers. The file is called something like Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium 1.0.log.gz (depending on your install type).
    Pay attention to the file extension: it should be .log.gz and not just .log
    To open it you should have a program like Winzip or Winrar, because it's an archive file containing a text file.
    Search in the text file for the error message. Search for "Error ".
    In my case it was "Error 1401.Could not create key \Software\Classes\.svg\OpenWithList\Illustrator.exe. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
    Now follow these steps:
    1. Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator in Windows XP.
    2. On the Windows TaskBar, choose Start, Run, type "regedit" (without quotes), and click OK.
    3. Navigate to the following key that was of your error message (in my case it is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.svg\OpenWithList)
    4. Right-click "OpenWithList" and choose Permissions.
    5. Make sure your user name displays under "Group or user names."
    NOTE: In the Windows XP Pro edition, the user name displays next to the word, Administrators.
    In the Windows XP Home edition. the user name may display without the word, Administrator.
    If you are not sure whether or not you are logged in as an Administrator, you can verify user rights in the Control Panel, User Accounts.
    6. Verify that "System" also displays under "Group and User Names."
    If the System name is not there, add it as follows:
    7. In the Permissions for OpenWithList dialog box, click Add.
    8. Type "System" (without quotes) in "Enter the object names to select" and click OK.
    9. In "Permissions for System," make sure "Full control" and "Read" are set to "Allow."
    10. Click OK, exit the Registry, and proceed with the install.
    Read the tech note as well: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402035&sliceId=1
    My problem was solved this way. Good luck!

  • Having problems re-installing Photoshop CS3 onto my Mac

    Hi, I am having a few problems with re-installing Photoshop CS3 (consisting of licensed versions of CS and the CS3 upgrade) onto my Mac after a repair.  I run a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Powerbook and OSX mountain Lion).  On installation I had to ok the following error messages...."Could not import clipboard because unexpected end of file was encountered" and "Could not Synchronize colour settings because of program error" CS3 is running but simple action requests such as levels are unavailable in the batch processing and Adobe Bridge quits unexpectedly all the time aswell.  Any advice on how to get a quality re-install and/or how to fix these problems?  Any help much appreciated:)
    Ian.

    I do not know what I did differently this time, but I finally got this printer to install. I wish I could leave a better solution in case others are running into a similar problem; however, I honestly have nothing to say besides uninstalling everything and then installing it again using the HP Printer Install Wizard.

  • Problem on install Dreamweaver CS3 on Vista

    I tried to install Dearmweaver CS3 on Microsoft window
    buisness 6.0.6001
    but when the insaller startup is apear for a seconds then
    disapear
    i tried to search in the forums but all problems there after
    this step

    Here is another solution if the first one doesnt work.
    "This solution posted by gorodek on the Adobe forums helped
    me out with the
    problem where the installer just dies with no error message
    or warning.
    1. Start the Setup as usual and let it copy over a few files
    and than -
    after a short popup - let him disappear. There shouldn't be
    any other errors
    except the described above, otherwise you have to deal with
    these first (eg.
    run the cleanup script, if the setup complains about an
    already running
    installation etc).
    2. Now open up your Windows Explorer and go to
    C:\Program Files\Common
    Files\Adobe\Installers\c14ac4070fd9614ffe63f4bb533db2c\resources\common\scripts
    3. Locate a file called "ContainerProxy.js" in the opened
    Window and open it
    with Notepad.
    4. Go to line 1102 or simply search for
    "jsonObj =
    _jsonToObject(window.external.SetSessionInitialized(initValue));"
    and replace this line with
    "jsonObj = _jsonToObject(SetSessionInitialized(initValue));"
    5. Save the file.
    6. Startup up the installation process by launching Setup.exe
    from this
    path:
    C:\Program Files\Common
    Files\Adobe\Installers\c14ac4070fd9614ffe63f4bb533db2c\Setup.exe
    This time the installer shouldn't quit and hopefully you will
    be able to
    install.
    The random hex-number differs on each system I found out. Now
    Setup runs.
    Let's hope I don't run into any other problems.
    Make sure the syntax is exact when you make the java script
    code
    modification.
    "jsonObj = _jsonToObject(SetSessionInitialized(initValue));"
    Make sure there's a space before and after the "=".

  • Unable to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium

    A few days ago, I opened my Adobe Photoshop CS3 Web Premium and it told me I cannot use it anymore. Same with Adobe Fireworks. It was running fine previously until THAT day.
    I was told by the error message to uninstall or reinstall the progam, which I did. But after uninstalling and installing CS3 again, only Adobe Acrobat was successful. All other components failed.
    Please help.

    A similar problem has been discussed on the Creative Suite forum:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c05199a
    It appears to be an Acrobat issue, but it prevents other suite applications from starting. There's a fix published by Adobe, that seemed to resolve most problems:

  • Can I install Adobe CS3, and upgrade all the way through to CS5.5 on Lion?

    Hi,
    I have registered Adobe Suite products since CS3 (DVDs) and been incrementally upgrading to CS5.5 on my Macbook Pro late 2008.
    I recently bought a Mac Mini Server and I was wondering if I will be able to install my Adobe CS3 (imaged disks or external super drive) then run all my upgrades (see below) all the way through CS5.5 without any issues.
    1) Master Collection CS3 DVDs
    2) Design Premium CS4 DVDs
    3) Design Premium CS5 Download
    4) Design Premium CS5.5 Download
    I have read somewhere that I could perhaps skip the 2 older CSx, and instead, just install my CS5 from download and enter the earlier serial numbers (CS3 + CS4) requested. But until I receive the Mac Mini with Lion, I cannot try this and confirm if this actually works.
    Has anyone performed a similar installation on their Lion OS?
    Thank you.

  • Problem in installing Adobe Reader X

    I wanted to install Adobe Reader X on my notebook(with no internet connection).I copied the Adobe folder from my PC to the notebook and tried to install Adobe Reader X by clicking the related exe file,but it didnt help.
    The exe file,which was AcroRd32.exe,when clicked says that "Adobe Reader cannot open in Protected Mode due to a problem with your system configuration.Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?".
    When I tried to open it with Protected Mode disabled,it gave a fatal error saying that "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL".
                        No such error occured with earlier versions of Adobe Reader. There, the exe file automatically started the installation process.
                        Is it not possible to upgrade my Reader to X from 9.1?
    (I saw a similr thread elsewhere but there the error was different and the solution talked of some whitelisting,which I am not aware of)

    You cannot use Reader X until it has been installed. Installing means that the appropriate configuration has been entered into the Windows Registry. Copying a folder from another computer doesn't achieve that goal.
    Here's what I suggest you do now.
    Run this Microsoft fix first of all: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Uninstall via Reader via Add/Remove Programs
    Download and install Reader X from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
    P.S. There are some programs which are so called 'Standalone' apps. That means that the executable will run without using a system's processes. But Adobe Reader isn't one of them.
