Adobe CS3 - Server 2008 Install Error

I am in the process of transitioning our organization to a cloud server running Windows Server 2008 x64. I would like to be able to install Creative Suite 3 Design Premium on the new server. I have attempted the install but get the following error at the beginning before the installation will ever really get started "Critical errors were found in setup. Please see the setup log for details". Therefore, I am not able to even start the install.
I have tried for several hours to research on the web but have not found any definite answer. It does appear that CS3 is not supported by Adobe on Server 2008. Has any one had any luck getting it to install properly on Server 2008? If not CS3, will any of the newer version work on Server 2008 should I choose to upgrade to a newer Adobe product?
Thank you in advance for any assistance that might be provided. I greatly appreciate it.
Todd

Thank you very much for your assistance. I really appreciate it.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Installation Error

Good day,
My name is Dominic Hung and I work at Business Objects. One of my clients is coming across an installation error on their evaluation of CRS 2008 and is detailed as follows:
They currently have the actual report writer (Crystal Reports 2008) on a desktop PC. It's not installed on the server.
We have the MySQL ODBC loaded on the local desktop as well as the server that is hosting CR2008 Server.
The credentials (userid/password) used in both the desktop and server's ODBC configuration is READ ONLY.
During the installation wizard for CR2008 Server, I key in the userid & password that I use when we create reports, but I receive an error stating that
CMS database error: STU000226
BusinessObjects Enterprise CMS: Unable to connect to the CMS system database "esc:10.127.214.22:3306". Reason: Database access error. Reason access denied for user 'jdcherry'@'% to database 'esc'
This is where everything stops and they can't go further. They are not sure why they are receiving the "access denied" error as shown above. They have no problem connecting to the MySQL database when they create a report using CR2008, the CR2008 SERVER won't accept my credentials during the installation.
QUESTIONS:
The "jdcherry" UserID (which I use) is READ ONLY on the MySQL database that's hosted on the Linux box. Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
If so, what level of access is required?
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
What other workarounds can be done for the client? The windows server they have Crystal Reports Server 2008 installed on has web services enabled but are continuing to come across issues. Any insight for the client would be greatly appreciated.

Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
The userID used when installing CRS must have dba previleges (create/drop tables) on the schema.
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
You should create a new schema/DSN for the CMS db. The installation of CRS creates 8 new tables.
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
No
All this information is in the BOE XI3.0 Installation Guide.

Hi,
If there is any external device plug into your computer, please unplug it and restart the Server.
You can also test the issue in Safe mode.
If it can boot into Safe mode, please update any driver has yellow warning on it, also check if the dump file is existing under %SystemRoot%\, if so, please help to post back for our research.

Getting "certificate server is installed" error when attempting demote of server 2012

Currently, we are testing server 2012 in our environment and using a 180 day trial version. Wanting to remove the complex password account restriction, I noticed that all removal options are grayed out, as the trial server is listed as a domain controller
(although no accounts have been setup and no one is logging onto it).
Using the "remove roles and features" option, I attempted to uninstall the active directory certificate services (after unchecking the box), but received a warning that the server must be demoted. Ok.
So, now I follow through the process, check the "last domain controller" checkbox (I had previously checked the "force demotion" but that failed) and click the "demote" button.
Fine.
One would expect that the server would be demoted, it would reboot and all would be just as requested.
No such luck.
Received a "certificate server is installed" error and the demotion will not proceed. Tried it several more times with the same results. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Dan David

First if you plan on using this in a production environment ever you can't convert a evaluation license to a full license if the Domain controller role is installed.
domain controllers have their own default policy, for just the opposite of what you are trying to do, it leaves the domain controllers hardened if someone changes the default domain policy, if you still have a stable server you should be able to go
to the group policy management and adjust the security policy on the "default domain controller" policy.
It sounds like you may have a server that is in a unstable state not a dc but it thinks it is may be? if that is the case starting over may be a fastest way to correct.

Adobe CS3 won't install - could classic be an issue?

I had forgotten I even had classic until this morning on the phone with Adobe Tech Support. Problem is: Adobe CS3 will not install. My case now has been escalated to Tech Level 3, and I am awaiting that call. In other words, many fixes have been tried already, including a new disk Fed-Xed here. Anyway, I was just thinking.... what if some small component of Classic is causing this problem? I absolutely do not need it. If one of you wonderful experts thinks this might be it, I also would need to know how to uninstall it. (All the other questions in this forum seem to be how to make it work.) Thanks for reading.
PS The reason I thought of this was the Adobe Tech (Level 2) guy had me check every font to make sure none were locked. (None were.) We also repaired permissions and did the CS3Clean script several times at the Level 4. (I have to do all this all over again every time I try to install and it fails.)

For the record, this was the solution: Leopard was installed (clean) on this computer, and CS3 still wouldn't install. An Apple certified person tried many things after that. Spent about 8 hours and was about to give up. The idea that finally worked was to install the suite on a different hard drive and then "migrate" it to my hard drive (whatever migrate means). It was a truly horribly experience, and I am not anxious to do business with Adobe again.

CF8 on 32bit Server 2008 Install Issues

Brand new Server 2008 with IIS7 install, fresh download of CF8 developer version (not the 64bit version). The administrator won't show up. When I go to the administrator, I get a 404 not found error. When I browse through Explorer (not IE) it's there. Everything is installed in the default folders. I added the .cfm MIME Type (application/x-cfm) through IIS Manager and that didn't help. Our other servers are Server 2003 and installing CF8 was a breeze. We can view .html pages.
Anyone have any ideas?

This might help:

Adobe cs3 cs4 cs5 permission error under Mac OSX

When I upgraded my Mac, I just used the time machine to recorver all of my preferences. Everything worked great except for Adobe Illustrator CS3 which would not start (license error).
I tried removing it and then install version CS4 (genuine copy) and it was not working. After much struggle, I realize the problem was that I did not have writing permission on the file
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet\ Publisher/FLEXnet
Simply try to copy a file to this folder to see if you have the same problem. Whatever I did then, I could not change the permissions to this folder (nor could Adobe special scripts) or the Folder Info panel.
This folder had extra attribute (@ sign in front of the file name when using a ls -ali in a terminal) and it turned out that these attributes were related to the time machine. I simply put the folder "FLEXnet\ Publisher" to the trash (had to enter the root password) and recreated manually this folder and the FLEXnet subfolder.
Then both Adobe CS3 and CS4 could run

I don't see a question in your post... but I feel your FLEXnet pain. At least you didn't have to feed it the serial number off your hard drive.

PT 8.53 Windows Server 2008 R2 Error on booting domain.

Hi all,
We are setting up a test environment for PT 8.53 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything in the installation went correctly then we try to boot the domain in PSADMIN for the first time we are getting an error when trying to:
exec BBL -A:
CMDTUX_CAT:816: ERROR: Cannot exec, executable file not found
tmboot: WARN: No BBL available on site <server name>.
Will not attempt to boot server processes on that site.
Tuxedo info: Oracle Tuxedo, Version 11.1.1.2.0 with VS2010, 64-bit, Patch Level 056
Just seeing if anyone else has come accross this or has any ideas we could try.
Thanks.
Edited by: 991229 on Mar 1, 2013 7:15 AM

Interesting, when you did the configure step in psadmin, did BBL start then or does it fail there as well? I've not installed 8.53 yet anywhere, but in my 8.52 env, doing a reconfig will start the BBL to ensure things are shut down. My guess is it fails, which I think would cause your configuration to not occur maybe?
Command to execute (1-10, q) : 4
This option will shutdown the domain.
Do you want to continue? (y/n) [n] :y

What if you get all your env variables set, and try to run tmadmin by hand?
set TUXDIR, PATH, PS_MACH, PS_HOME, PS_CFG_HOME, PS_SERVDIR, PS_SERVER_CFG, TUXCONFIG, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, NTSYMBOL_PATH, APPDIR (I think that's all of them, I'd have to look again)
then from cmd prompt run tmadmin
at the tmadmin prompt run boot -y
that would extract psadmin from the process, if that fails to find BBL, then I think you might need to pull out Process Monitor from sysinternals, and trace the tuxedo start process, which will show you what path BBL is really being looked for in, and possible help you solve this. You can also use Process Explorer to review what environment variables are set for what processes (such as psadmin or tmadmin).
Let me know what you find, as I'm interested in knowing what is causing this.

Adobe cs3 won't install on Windows 7(32-bit)!

A friend of mine finally convinced me to install Windows 7, and he had good reason to. This OS really lives up to the hype thats been going on...but, Im having trouble installing an ESSENTIAL program(s) to this great OS, Adobe CS3 Design Premium. I installed Windows 7 (32-bit) from a DVD, with the product key, which I think is the "clean install" Ive been hearing about. I read something that says Windows 7 doesn't recognize a certain file associated with Cs3, maybe thats why it wont load. I attached a screen shot of my system specs, if it helps. But this is what happened.
- When I insert the software DVD, the autoplay feature pops up, then Windows "User Account Control" asks me if I want to allow the changes.
- I click "Yes," and then the "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" window pops up and gives me the option to: Install CS3 Design Premium; Install Adobe Acrobat 8; and Browse CD.
- I choose "Install CS3" and then a window "Initializing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" with a progress bar.
- The bar fills up, but when it finishes nothing happens.
I checked the tasked manager and see that, that adobe setup.exe is running somehow, but nothing happens. I have search on Adobe forums and google for possible solutions, but nothing has worked so far. I have tried:
- Runnning the setup application from the DVD (in Adobe Design Premium CS3 folder) as "Administrator"
- Ran "wincs3clean," to remove any existing adobe programs from the system.
- Ran ccleaner, to fix/repair any registry problems or anything else.
- Tried copying the content of the DVD onto the desktop and run it as Admin.
- Used the command.exe (as admin) and ran the "regsvr32 jscript.dll" and "regsvr32 vb(something)"
- Ran Windows 7 in "simplified" mode, where I disabled any services/processes from interferring with the setup, through the msconfig feature.
- Cleared the Windows temporary files, as this was a solution for Vista, I thought might work.
- Tried updating my drivers, everything was uptodate.
- Called Adobe Technical support, waited about 30 mins, and then was told "Adobe does not support Windows 7, so the install may or maynot work." (They could help if they wanted to).
- Tried restarting in a previous version, to see if it would install, but the admin password that I had before isnt working now for some reason.
Ive seen reports of people having Adobe CS3 installed on Windows 7 and working fine, so I know its possible. Its just frustrating that I cant get it to work. Somebody (bodies), please help me. Let me know if there is any other info needed. Ive struggling with this for some time now.
Thanks A-Mil in advance,
Gary D.

i am having very similar issues and after working on this for days i'm ready to trash all Adobe products.. i've been in DP for 35 years and have never had this much trouble with anything - ever.
i migrated to a new machine using windows 7 from and XP machine. i used PCmover to port applications and all are working just fine except my Adobe CS3 products. When i try to open them i get some sort of message about catastophic licensing problem and the product immediately closes. i'd detail the error but it's only up for about 4 milliseconds before it disappears.
so i tried reinstalling CS3 and it loads the autoplay just fine and then i click on 'install adobe cs3' icon and see the progress bar moving for about 2 secons and then that disappears and then NOTHING.
so i found suggestions about using the CS5 cleaner tool and ran that bout it didn't even find the application..
so i went to control panel and clicked on 'uninstall' for CS3 and it seems run for about 3 seconds and then NOTHING..
so i installed a windows cleanup tool that was recommended but that's been retired by Microsoft because it caused other problems so i didn't run it..
short of formatting my hard drive and starting over installing over 50 apps on my new computer, i'm at a loss and so extremely frustrated with Adobe that i am willing to learn another set of programs to replace them and to tell the world.

Windows Installer - SQL Server 2008 Express Errors

I am working with an application that was developed for an XP machine. One of my peers took the old Windows application and using Visual Studio 2010 upgraded the application to work on a Windows 7 machine. We are creating the installer (.exe
and .msi) files within Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, but we are having different issues on different machines that we try to run the setup.exe file on.
On our company computers with Windows 7, the setup.exe file runs and works properly.
On our customers computer with Windows 7, received the following error: "an error occurred attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1."
On non-company/non-customer machines, we tried two Windows 7 machines. One machine had no issues and everything installed perfectly and the other received this error: "Component SQL Server 2008 Express has failed to install."
User pressed Yes to reboot the computer.
After the reboot, the setup.exe file was run and there were no more errors. The application was installed properly.
Within the Installer we have four boxes checked under Properties - Prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (x86 and x64)
SQL Server 2008 Express
Windows Installer 3.1
If anyone can help with why the installer is causing issues on some computers and not on others as well as why the issues by computer are different that would be very helpful!
Thank you!

Windows Server 2008 Explorer error when i right click on folder

Hi everybody.
I have installed a new Windows Server 2008 64-bit, update it to latest.
I have a problem that happens when i right click on a folder. The error only happens if i right click on a folder that has only 1 character long folder name. Doesn't matter if the name is for example: "1" or "a" or "f", the explorer.exe crashes and gives me
error:
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

The error happened to me on different pc before so it is not related to hardware. The problem happens also if i create folder on desktop, problem stays if i create a new account, the problem goes away if i rename the folder to at least 2 character long name
(for example: "1a", "de"), by slowly double click it. If i go to Start --> Computer --> Local Disk (C:) --> create New Folder with 1 character long name and than go to Organize, i can cut, but not do the same to paste the folder inside another location,
because the error happens.
I didn't install Visual Studio.
How to solve the problem ?

This is not the usual behavior of the windows Server.
Please perform the following things
1) Perform a clean boot
http://technetfaqs.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/how-to-clean-boot-in-windows-2008-server/
2) Go to the safe mode and try to perform a virus check using the malicious virus removal tool
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/890830/en-us
3) If none of the above helps then you should generate the dump file and analyze it to find the root cause of the problem which is not easy for the new users. How ever if you generate it and put it to the sky drive I will try to analyze and let you know

Does this directory exist and have the correct permissions and ownership granted for the Oracle 10g RAC Clusterware?
If not, then you need to create the directory and grant correct permissions to it. Also, have you checked to see if Windows 2008 platform has been certified and validated for Oracle 10g RAC installation?
