Adobe CS3 updater

When I try to check for updates, I get the message
"A new version of the Adobe Updater is available for installation. Click okay to install it now". After clicking OK, I get the message
"Adobe Updater failed to install." It then proceeds to download updates and I get the same message wrt to the Updater.
Help!

You're still not. :/
What exact version of CS3? 10.0.1? What exact version of the Adobe updater? What have you tried so far? Routine maintenance? All of that is pertinent.
But never mind that, for now, You can manually download every single update from the main Adobe downloads site, and install each one of them manually.
The Adobe updaters have been broken in one way or another for years. I haven't relied on them for ages.

Run adobe cs3 updater remotely via command line unix command?

is there a way to run the adobe updater from the command line for adobe cs3? I have a bunch of machines that already have cs3 installed, and I would like to be able to use ARD to "send unix command" and have the installer run and update the relevant apps?
Thanks in advance...
PS-is it me or is this forum ridiculously slow on safari? Sheesh!

Adobe CS3 Updater is not detecting any update!

Hi;
I just installed the Creating Suite 3 (included Photoshop, Illuctration, InDesign and Acrobat 8 Pro) on 3 workstation.
This CS3 package I buit a long time ago; it is the version 10.0. The last CS3 update is version 10.0.1.
So, the adobe update which I launch from Photoshop | Help | Update shuold detect updates for my CS3; however, it doesn't!
In stead, it's giving this msg: "There is no update available at this time. Please note thatt some updates for the following products cannot de determined at this time: Adobe Update"
I have been trying to troubleshoot this problem for 2 days; however, there haven't any solution!
Note:
About 2 weeks ago, I installed CS3 on another 3 computers using the same installation parkage. And they are runing as expected.
I have contacted Adobe Support by phone and chat. They all confirmed that the update server for CS3 is functioning.
If anyone has any clue or solution, idea, please help me!
Thanks.

Hi dkmashino,
The way I see it is that since CS3 is no longer supported [since CS5.5 is the current version], there will be no more updates for CS3. The only application that's still updated is Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 [from CS3.3], and those are released quarterly [4 times a year] on a regular maintenance schedule from Adobe until that stops. Keep in mind that Adobe Acrobat also uses a different Adobe Updater after Acrobat version 9.2.0, and that updater doesn't have the same issue as the CS3 updater does.
So, what I've been doing for new deployments and prepping machines is installing CS3, setting the clock back to October 1, 2011 or earlier, running all updates, and setting the clock back to the current date. Make sure you remember to set your clock back to the current date, especially if you chose an earlier date like January 1, 2011, because the Acrobat updater won't run if the clock is set too far back.
Hope that helps!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 updater quits

I recently bought the new iMac and I installed my Adobe CS3 onto it. Everything seems to be working fine but the Photoshop updater would quit upon opening. So I can't get the needed updates to view my RAW files. Also, when I tried to go and download the updates myself, Photoshop shows me this; "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I am using iMac OS X 10.9

The updater for cs3 doesn't work anymore on either windows or mac, probably because adobe disabled it on their side.
When you download the 4.6 camera raw update, it's a manual install.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4039
Meaning you need to mount the DMG file and then drag the Camera Raw.plugin that is inside the DMG to the right folder
after removing the old camera raw plugin to the trash bin.
The directions are on the page linked to above.

Adobe CS3 Auto-Updater is crashing

Since the install of Leopard, when Adobe Updater tries to start (which is just about every time I try to run the Bridge or PhotoShop) it looks like the Auto-updater tries to start and then crashes with a message to send to Apple. I have tried going into utilities to run the Updater to try and disable it but, of course, that crashes too.
I am pretty new to the MAC, is there another way that you can safely disable the Adobe Auto-Updater?
Thanks.

I´m have the same problem - with all updates !!!

Adobe CS3 Windows 7 installation says does not meet minimum requirements

I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium on a brand new Windows 7 machine (32-bit). It is a downloaded copy from Adobe's website.
When I start the install process, it takes me to the "Options" Screen and will not let me install Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign. All those options are grayed out.
At the bottom, the reason it gives is as follows:
"The minimum system requirements listed below needed to run adobe photoshop cs3 are required and are not met:
- Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
- Windows Vista"
It gives the same error for the other 2 programs as well.
I have tried the following troubleshooting steps already with no luck:
1. Run Setup.exe as Administrator
2. Run Setup.exe in compatibility mode (either as Windows XP SP2, or Windows Vista)
3. Logged-in to Administrator profile and tried installing from there
4. did the regsvr32 on both vbscript.dll and jscript.dll.
5. Tried the CS3 cleanup tool at multiple levels.
6. Made sure there are no other Adobe products installed
7. Called Adobe Tech support, they are no help. They said to re-install the OS, which doesn't make any sense since it's a clean install.
No AV installed yet, so that's not the issue either.
Any ideas?

I realise I'm a bit late to the party here.. but after spending a few hours going through the Adobe CS3 Bootstrapper and Install process and files, I have the answer to why Windows 7 does not meet the minimum requirements.
The answer is in the xml files contained in the payloads for the CS3 Installation.
Line 72786 of AdobeIllustrator13en_US.proxy.xml :
<SystemRequirementsJSON>[
     {"OS":{"Windows":{"XP":{"Exclude":true,"Require":{"MinServicePack":"2","@servicePack64Bit" :1
,"Need64Bit":"0"}},"Server2003":{"Exclude":true},"Vista":{"Require":true}}},
                              "Memory":{"System":{"Default":{"Require":"512","Exclude":"500"}}},
                              "Display":{"Default":{"Require":{"Width":"1024","Height":"768"},"Exclude":{"Width":"800"," Height":"600"}}}
]</SystemRequirementsJSON>
Basically it is this: For Adobe Illustrator CS3 the following is supported: Windows XP SP2, or Vista ONLY
Not Windows XP SP2 or above, or Windows XP SP2 and Vista or above ...
The same is in several other files, but not all. Illustrator and InDesign are the 2 that I know of.
I have 500 odd machines that I need to deploy this software to.
If Adobe would like to offer a work around with consideration to deploying the software silently via Microsoft SMS to 500 Windows 7 Workstations - I would be most grateful.
My rage at software installer developers with such little foresight is only tempered by the knowledge that the task itself is so difficult.
However, that does not excuse the lack of thought given to how enterprise level administrators are supposed to deal with updates, patches, and deployments to machines where users have limited rights, and the difficulty that is caused by the inclusion of unhelpful and sparse documentation and software (such as Adobe Updater).

OSX 10.5.4: Still the same problems with Adobe CS3 files

I updated to OS X 10.5.4 on a latest generation 24" iMac with Adobe CS3 on it. This is the only Mac with 10.5 installed in a publishing company with 10 Macs, all with Adobe CS3 and all working always with files on the same file server. The other 9 Macs have OS X 10.4 installed.
The iMac with 10.5 had massive problems with CS3 files since OS X 10.5.2 - frequently existing Photoshop files disappeared from the server after the "Save" command, frequently "Save As" was not possible in Photoshop, sometimes Indesign crashed when files were getting saved on the server - none of this is happening on the other Macs with OS X 10.4.
On the first couple of days with 10.5.4 at least in Photoshop exactly the same problems: Existing files disappear from the server after the "Save" command, "Save As" is often times not possible.
It's a shame!

Hi
Why don't you try updating with the larger installer, the combo updater. The combo updater is generally more helpful when troubleshooting a problem.

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.

Adobe CS3 Extended - problem w Bridge - picture displayed wrong in Horrizontal Filmstrip mode

Recently started have problems with Adobe Bridge (CS3 Extended) after it did an automatic update from Adobe for my CS3. The problem is that the panel where the picture appears in "Horrizontal Filmstrip" is now positioned to the far right - partially off the screen; plus, whatever action done previously is showing through the panel area where the picture should have been. Doing "refresh" does not help.
Tried to reinstall the whole program but the problem did not go away. Then uninstalled the whole Adobe CS3 suite (which includes Bridge); then reloaded the probram; and, then the problem went away. As soon as I downloaded the updates from Adobe again, the problem reappeared. Anyone no what to do?

Did you try to reset the preferences by holding down the ctrl key and starting Bridge? You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
A re-install will not affect this file so if contaminated before it will be contaminated after.
Also, make sure you have the latest video driver, as this affects the filmstrip mode.

Transfer Adobe CS3 to new Macbook Pro

I just received my Macbook Pro w/ Retina and completed the 36 hr migration assistant. Adobe CS3 successfully transferred, but do I need to uninstall it from the old computer or do anything else so that there are no problems? I see that I already get an error message of "Adobe Updater quit unexpectedly" every time I open a CS3 program. Also, how do I adjust so that the CS3 display isn't so blurry on the retina?

CS users are screaming about that, looks like you'll have to do CS6

Question about purchasing Adobe CS3 Design Premium as a university student...?

Do you think Adobe CS3 Design Premium $450.00 is a good deal if I can't get a pirated version from anyone else?
Should I feel guilty for spending that money (it's for university, a graphic design program) or should I be content that I'm being a good citizen?
According to Apple's site, it's about $2500 retail price, $750 with the educational price, and $450 if you buy it with a Mac and the educational price...
I was just feeling a little dumb when other kids were saying that they have pirated software and think it's silly to buy it. But then again, I don't really have anyone to get it off of anyway..
And I know that that industry is always changing, always comming up with new and advanced software. So if I buy CS3, and they come up with a CS4, and CS5, which I no doubt they will, do I have to pay the same amount for those as for the CS3? Is there anyway I can update/upgrade it for cheaper? I saw that they have an upgrade price on the products page, I was just wondering what the process/steps to do so are? Thanks!

If you have a legitimate, purchased copy it has always been the case
in the past that you can purchase upgrades to the next version for a
reduced price.
The question of pirated software is not just a legal one but a moral
one. Here is one perspective to consider (since you're obviously not 100% comfortable with the "it suits me better to pay nothing so I'll steal it" philosophy that some of your peers espouse). Perhaps you are thinking of a career in graphic design? Well, how would you feel if something you'd worked on for a year was taken by big companies without paying you a cent, used to sell expensive products, for book covers, for fancy web sites and TV adverts?
If this makes you uncomfortable, consider that the only thing that
stops this from happening is the copyright laws. If you want to be
protected by them, it seems possible you should start by respecting
them.

Thanks Dave - that's what I thought but the comment about the

made we question my understanding.
I'm not taking the Spry seriously just now - so not missing
anything.
