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.

  • 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 AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    "Sorry, an error has occurred.
    An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
    Well, I asked myself and verified that I am allowed to install any programs I wish to at will.
    I even toyed with adding extra permissions for the .exe and shortcut [see below], to no avail.
    I also checked your Adobe AIR installation troubleshooter section before posting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions 100% applied to my circumstances or OS, yet I tried a few anyway and had it confirmed by a Windows dialogue that I need not have bothered as it assured me that they weren't applicable in my case.
    I found another thread like mine where somebody suggested creating a shortcut with an additional -uninstall parameter added to the .exe path. It didn't work.
    I used Microsoft's Installation Cleanup Utility and that didn't work to "un-confuse" the installer either.
    Do you have any more suggestions?
    Adobe AIR came with the HTC Sync program for my phone, which appears to have dependencies on it where it won't completely work without it.
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    ps. I created a new thread because I couldn't find the "reply" button on a similarly unresolved thread regarding Adobe AIR installation issues on Windows 7.

    I would like to say thanks to artrose54 and to playswithtech for their thoughtful responses to my problem. I finally figured out which number I was to delete, and then, having made a copy of the number in notepad, deleted it. Upon a restart to my computer I then was able to download adobe air 2.7. I found that I still could not download the shutterfly express uploader, however; so I applied the same approach. I went looking for the number in the registry that corresponded to the uploader. I deleted it; restarted the computer; returned to shutterfly; and then was able to download the express uploader. I am sure I will find other uses for Adobe Air in the future.

    Hi everyone,
    Here is the fix that worked for me,
    You need to go to start run and type in regedit
    now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next
    the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it
    I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation
    and it worked with out a problem
    The adobe air log file really doesn't tell u anything but where it tried to find the setup.msi file
    but it doesn't exist because of the registry entry that needs to be deleted which is what causes the error
    If u r not sure of editing the registry then maybe you know someone that can help you
    I hope this helps you out it worked for me

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

  • Adobe Programs won't install....

    Hi,
    i have a nasty problem... all of my adobe programs won't install... (the .dmg's)
    When i wan't to install after effects for example, mac says:
    "System Requirements Error
    This software cannot be installed because the file
    system of the OS volume is not supported."
    (this is translated from dutch, it maybe isn't exactly the same, as it would say in the english version of leopard..)
    i already tried to use the disk help program, but it won't work...
    what should i do???

    Ah, okay. I was wondering if it was that, or a downloaded copy from a college server. Lot's of colleges do that these days for student priced versions.
    Anyway, the problem seems to be that you have formatted the hard drive as case sensitive. If you did do that, you'll have to erase the drive with Disk Utility and reinstall everything from scratch. I don't think you can change it without erasing the drive.

  • 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.

  • Adobe CS3 - Will Not Install

    I just bought Adobe CS3 today but when I click on the install
    file, it does nothing. I have searched the web for help, but the
    one or two solutions I did manage to find seem far beyond me. I am
    on Windows Vista. Anyone have any solutions? Any responses would be
    greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    <start sarcasm> Hey, consider yourself lucky! At least
    you can SEE the installation file! </end sarcasm>
    Seriously, I am now trying to install a licensed boxed
    version of Contribute CS3 on a second computer, and the computer
    can't even read the CD in the CD-ROM drive! The computer acts like
    there is no CD in the drive at all. In Windows Explorer, I get the
    dreaded "insert CD in the drive" message when I try to view the
    contents of the CD.
    I only tried to manually install the program because the
    AutoPlay didn't work. Other than finding another computer whose
    CD-ROM drive could read the installation CD, I can find no
    solution. And THAT'S not a solution, foks.
    My idea was to download / install the trial version, then
    activate it with the purchased serial number.
    I shouldn't have to do that! This is so bogus... I have been
    waiting for my download link for nearly an hour.
    Adobe, what are you going to do about this installation
    problem?? Can we get our money back?

  • Flash CS3 Won't Install

    Okay... I seriously am in need of help here. I have
    downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS3, and for some
    reason when I run the installer it didn't install it right. At
    first when I installed this, the program seemed to be in place, but
    when I tried to start it, I got an error message saying that I need
    to repair it by uninstalling/reinstalling the program... The whole
    message escapes me at the moment...
    Anyways I tried to uninstall it and apperantly it still shows
    on the Add/Remove Programs list. It won't allow me to uninstall it.
    The installer doesn't work anymore. I try to use the setup.exe
    program and it shows a new little window with a progress bar at the
    top right corner of my screen.
    The
    Window
    After this window finished loading it closes but the
    installer never opens... I've tried many things posted on this
    forum, including:
    -Removing Flash 8 Player
    -Making a New Account
    -Checking for duplicate color profiles
    and nothing worked! Please help me... I have no other CS3
    programs, running on Windows XP, and I have admin account.

    Okay... I'm becoming extremely upset and impatient with
    Adobe. I cannot install this download of the free trial for Flash
    if it were to save my life...
    I have tried changing permissions to my registry keys,
    installing in Safe Mode (the installer didn't allow me to install
    in safe mode), installing in VGA mode (which was much harder than I
    think installing anything should have been, not being able to see
    the buttons to carry on and having to click Tab and hoping u have
    selected "Next"), installing it while turning off every single
    application except for the Windows ones, running the Adobe CS3
    cleanup script, defragmenting my disk, and even trying System
    Restore...
    So far nothing has worked... For some reason that installer
    window will NOT appear. The progress bar mentioned in my first post
    shows up, but after it finishes loading it disappears and I never
    see the installation screen, no warning, error message, or
    anything. My computer carries on idly...
    Please... Some please help me. If you know of something which
    I have not tried yet please tell me. There is no way I'm going to
    buy Flash if I can't even install the free trial... I might as well
    try to get Flash 8 somewhere or maybe even try to find a freeware
    program with similar capabilities... I cannot stress how
    dissapointed I am right now and I hope no one else has to go
    through such hassles during their installations.
    Again, someone, PLEASE help me.
    I do not believe the problem is in my computer... I have run
    a virus scan and I have nothing infected. I have seen the window
    before on the first time I tried to install Flash, but the download
    was corrupted and I had to uninstall it... I never saw that window
    again...
    Please... help... me... I've lost so much of my time trying
    to install this program...

  • INDesign CS3 won't install

    I've been searching threads for days now and nothing i try works
    I am trying to install CS3 on a G5 Mac, OSX 10.4.11. I have CS on this computer, tried the CS4 trial, decided to stay with CS3 which I am had on a deceased computer that din't have any Adobe on it except things like reader, and whatever comes with the Mac OS. When I try to load, I get everything but INDesign won't install. Tried multiple time, tried it on another computer (a G4) with similar history and the same result. I've done an uninstall on INDD4, I've cleaned preference files, tossed Colorsync profiles. At first, when I tried to install i would get an message asking for theINDD4 disk. I got rid of that when I dumped the color sync files. and now it installs everything except INDD. I'm afraid to try the clean script.
    What do you suggest?

    Hi Mylenium
         After updating the adobe license didn´t work any longer for the
    second time, since I bought. First time CS3 cleaning tool was the
    solution. But this time it is not possible just to open the
    CS3cleaning tool document(PDF)- not with adobe reader, also not with
    foxit for example. I removed all adobe stuff to install again, but
    installation doesn´t work for  the important components- photoshop
    etc. At first also adobe reader didn´t work (System told me, to
    install photoshop before:-) But after some deinstallation and
    reinstallation now just the new downloaded adobe reader X happily
    works again. Only solution to reinstall the whole system?? (medion
    professional PC, windows vista 5,0 - 2 GB, 32 Bit)
         Thank you for help

  • Premiere CS3 Won't Install

    I'm finishing the build from Hades. I followed the Matrox system recommendations, apparently they had an easier time than I did. I finally resolved my issues with my video card, now Premiere and Encore won't install!
    System Info: Tyan Tempest 5400 (socket 771) motherboard, two Xeon Quad core E5450 CPUs, one ATI Radeon Sapphire HD 3870 1 gig on-board ram, two 2 gig FB DIMM 667 RAM sticks. Software version Premiere Pro CS3.
    I'm fairly certain I've met the minimum system requirements - I followed one of Matrox's highest system builds (at the time). The version of XP I bought already had Service Pack 2. As far as I can tell, I've loaded all my drivers. I have two separate 1 TB drives (7200 RPM). My DirectX version is 9.
    The install process for both Premeire and Encore appear to proceed normally. The summary screen simply notes:
    "Successfully installed 2 component(s):
    Adobe Preiere Pro CS3 Third Party Content
    Shared components
    Errors: 2 component(s):
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
    Component install failed
    Shared components
    Component install failed"
    I bought my RTX2 last summer, but building my house, technical diffulties with my system and my mother's death delayed getting this unit assembled.
    I tried uninstalling using add/remove programs, with the same results.  I also tried using two different DVD drives.
    I started a post on the Matrox forum site.  It looks like I have them stumped...
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    OK, you've got a "clean system," and I assume that you have not had a "trial" version of CS3 installed on it, right?
    I'm going to throw out some ideas on Adobe program installation. These are distilled from various Adobe fora. Some might NOT apply to PrPro, but many might.
    1.) download and install the lastet Adobe Flash Player (some Adobe programs need it to install properly)
    2.) download and install the latest Apple QT Player (some PC users get by just fine without it, but a few Adobe programs want to see it.
    3.) download and install the latest video and audio drivers. Update any firmware.
    4.) turn OFF ALL anti-virus, spyware and pop-up blockers (including any in IE, if you have it, or any other browser). Also turn off
         Windows Messenger and Windows Indexing.
    5.) make sure that you are logged-in as an Administrator
    6.) as you got an installation error, I would Remove both Adobe programs (Add/Remove Programs) and also run Adobe's CleanScript. I think that
         this might be better than doing a Repair Install, though you can certainly try it first.
    7.) if it still fails, try an installation from a Safe Mode boot. I *think* that this will only work for PS and Illustrator, and NOT for PrPro.
    8.) if it still fails, and I hate to even suggest this - remove the Matrox card and all drivers, and try again. Given your efforts to get the box up and
         running WITH the Matrox, I'd use this as a total "last resort."
    Good luck, and I hope that something, prior to #8 works for you,

  • Photoshop CS3 won't install from disk

    I have an HP with Windows XP service pack 2 OS. Exceeds all of the requirements to run CS3. Just purchased CS3. When I install the DVD, it will not launch. When I try and run setup from the Adobe CS3 folder, I get an error message as follows; Adobe CS3\setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. This DVD is marked Windows. So I'm dead in the water, can't get out of the gate.
    Anyone have some ideas ?

    By running the EXE the installer package Extracts the CS3 Installer to where you point it on your hard drive:
    Here is the TREE from where I installed it to- I dont know if your OSX has a Tree command like this, but Windows DOES:
    C:\DOWNLOAD\Adobe CS3\Photoshop>tree /f

    Note that if I got this in a Windows version straight from ADOBE- And you guys have it in the MAC version...
    And I know where i got it, I downloaded the TRIAL version of CS3 from Adobe. THIS FILE is part of the Adobe Package. DON'T KNOW what it is, but certainly, if you don't like it, you can delete it, like I did, with no Ill effects.
    If it IS a virus however, then someone at ADOBE put this thing right into the package.
    IT IS NOT A CRACK. A Crack for CS3 is the entire Photoshop.exe file, 43 Megabytes- It is dropped into the Photoshop directory before initially running any part of CS3, then when Photosho.exe is run, it inserts a serial number and activates it, bypassing the flexLM licence manager.
    THAT is how a Photochop crack works, one of the cracks I have seen- Others are simply Keygens, like CS2, you perform a Phone Activation, enter the Acvitation code into the keygen, and it spits out the answer code.
    THIS little POS file however, is NOT a keygenm and it is NOT an exe that can be dropped into a folder, it is simply extra code left over from installing CS3, and Adobe made it.

  • Adobe Desktop won't install

    I was able to successfully install the Palm Desktop on my XP Professional SP3 system without incident.  When I try to install the Adobe Reader for Palm, the application installs on my Palm TX no problem, but the desktop application to specify the files to download won't install.  It enters the Install Shield, I hit next, the progress bars go across quickly and there is nothing on my desktop or in my Start Menus.  I have used the  setup from the Palm CD and downloaded the setup from the Adobe site and neither one worked.
    I spoke to Palm and they told me I need to discuss this with Adobe.  The Support Portal withdrew my question and referred me here.  Does anyone have a solution or work around for this?  I haven't seen anything on the web.

    I was able to discover why my desktop was not installing.  Apparently the Install Shield is an old version.  I followed solutions I had found on Google to no avail.  What finally DID work was to install Acrobat Reader for Palm OS in safe mode for Windows XP.  I believe that Service Pack 3 of Windows was inhibiting the install.
    I don't know how risky this is to do, but it worked.  Something like this may also work for Vista.  I don't know.
