Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 crashes during setup

It has been my 3rd attempt at downlaoding this software, i
got it directly from the site, the extraction process goes smooth,
but when i run setup.exe the green box loads for a second then
closes! What should I do to get my Dreamweaver installed? What
could be causing this crash?

Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

URGENT: Dreamweaver CS3 crashes while uploading any PHP File

Hello,
My Dreamweaver CS3 crashes everytime I try to upload any PHP
file to the Web Server. It does upload the file but crashes and you
received a "Not Responding" error in the Windows title bar. I did
search alot on this issue until I found the ".
Dreamweaver
CS3 crashes after DST ends" problem. I deleted the cache file
as required but of NO HELP.
. It is very annoying to restart Dreamweaver
everytime you want to upload any PHP file to the Web Server after
editing it. It doesn't happen with any other types of files. Please
help me guys here or I will lose my mind.

Bad news for you too.
First, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
Secondly, Adobe does not support CS3 any longer because it hasn't been sold for years.
Therefore, you're left to the good will of fellow users who volunteer their time here free of charge, if one of them has a solution to your issue. No one is under any obligation to reply, so ask nicely.
One thing I can tell you is that you have not applied any of the versions available for Photoshop. Unfortunately, the Adobe auto updater was an unmitigated piece of cr@p in any version prior to CS6. Do not rely on it to assume you are up to date just because it doesn't show any updates available to you under Help > Updates.
You need to look for the downloads and apply them manually yourself.
I can't offer any more assistance because I don't do Windows. Sorry.

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes HELP!

I'm working on a project in DreamweaverCS3 using Coldfusion
7.0.2.
I have a page that has some drop down menus that are
populated via a coldfusion query. When I click on the
<cfselect> statement line (I need to edit this one value to
fix the page), Dreamweaver CS3 crashes.
I have never seen this before ever. Has anyone else seen this
type of thing with there CS3?
The other thing I completely hate about Dreamweaver is when i
preview an HTML page in a browser window and sometimes when I go
back and forth between the browser and Dreamweaver, I won't be able
to save the file because I get a sharing violation error. So i have
to either wait a few minutes before i can save for some reason or I
have to shut down the browser.
I used to use Homesite and i always, always could preview in
a new browser window, make edits, and refresh the page. Life was
good. This disrupts my workflow and i think Adobe should consider
changing how Dreamweaver handles files in CS4 and hopefully do away
with this bug. Its extremely annoying and slows me down.
What sucks is i spend all of this money on CS3 Web Premium
and now i have to use wordpad to edit this file so i can move
on!

I like to use server-side includes for site wide menus, headers and footers.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp
Some people like to use DW Templates to create their site pages. If you use a Template.dwt, you can put your site wide menu and other common page elements into it and they will appear on all child pages created from that Template file.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/dreamweaver_template.asp#1
DIFFERENCES:
SSI works on the server. Edit one file, upload and you're done. Your hosting provider needs to support the use of includes in either .shtml, .asp or .php pages.
DW Templates only work in Dreamweaver sites. And you must re-publish all child pages after editing your Template.dwt file.

Dreamweaver cs3 crashed after cute ftp installation

Hi Guys!
After i've installed the cute ftp program an error has occured - "Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Deleting the WinFileCache-.... didn't worked.
What should i do?
Thanks in advance for anyone.

Does CuteFTP work on it's own when DW is closed?
I too, use CuteFTP in conjunction with DW and have for many years and have never had such a problem.
Are you doing anything specific in Cute FTP when DW crashes?

My Dreamweaver CS3 crashes

For now reason at all, my Dreamweaver CS3 crashes, when I
load the application up.
Its the same error message but repeated for three different
locations:
Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard, Adobe Dreamweaver CS3,
Share components.
The error message:
Component install failed. The original installation media has
been moved or deleted.
Replace the media at it original location: C:\Documents and
Settings\...\Local Settings\Application
Data\Installer2244\payloadsAdobeExtendScriptToolkit2.0All\AdobeExtendScriptToolkit2.0.2Al l.msi
Is this the reason why my application fails. If so where do I
get this file? Can I just create the folder structure manually?
I don't understand why it CS3 crashes, I was using it fine,
playing around with spry, then I loaded up Fireworks, then
Dreamweaver crashed

Are you trying to re-install the application? This is what
appears is happening from the error messages.
If you aren't doing that then something was corrupted and you
may need to reinstall by first de-activating the software package
via another CS3 application under the Help menu. And then you would
need to run the CS3 clean tool to uninstall and then you would need
to load the media from CS3 to re-install.

- This is the link to the CS3 clean script should it be what you
need.

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after Daylight Savings Time ends

In Windows XP x64, Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after
Daylight Savings Time ends. There is a technote that seems to
describe the situation exactly.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402776&sliceId=1
However...
1) The technote says this happens only with ASP and PHP code.
I'm using ColdFusion. (That's a minor point.)
2) The technote says...
Delete the WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file from the
Dreamweaver user configuration folder. Note that on Windows, the
Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so
verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View
Hidden Folders. The location of this file is as follows:
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
However, I coudn't find WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat in
Documents and Settings or in Program Files (86)\Adobe. (The 86 is
because this is a 32-bit program on a 64-bit machine, but all the
rest is the same.) I then searched both directories for *.dat and
there was no file that looked anything like
WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat.
.Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

Alan, thanks for the suggestion.
I did the search found the file, deleted it, opened
Dreamweaver CS3, selected the same text -- and it crashed as
before.
THEN I REBOOTED and tried again - NO CRASH. So it seems that
a reboot is an essential part of the fix.
BTW: My situation fit the Technote description exactly. (1)
The crash happened when selecting -- in design or code view --
certain text in a context of HTML intermingled with ColdFusion
code; (2) I had no problem with these files before Daylight Savings
ended; (3) even after that I had no problem with them in Macromedia
Dreamweaver 8 on another machine -- the problem was only on CS3.
So the Technote is correct as far as it goes, but should be
amended as follows:
1) ColdFusion should be included in the types of code that
can be associated with the problem.
2) Instead of deleting WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat, one should
delete WinFileCache-[whatever].dat.
3) A reboot after the deletion may be required.
Anyway, problem solved.
Thank you!

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
Is this a common problem?

Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has shopped working

In the past two days I have been getting the following error
message when I try to make changes to an open page in Dreamweaver
CS3:
"Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has stopped working"
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available".
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate. I have not installed any
new programs recently, so I'm thinking that either a recent Windows
Update or and Adobe Update may be causing this new problem. Is this
a known issue? Does anyone know of a solution to this
problem?

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes on opening

I recently purchased the Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium,
and all programs work fine, with the exception of Dreamweaver CS3.
When I try to open Dreamweaver, either from the program list or
opening an html document with Dreamweaver, it shows the opening
page and then quits, either showing no error report or the window
"Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to
close", appears. When I click on "view technical info" within this
window, it says that the following file, located in the temp
folder, will be included in the error report: 5d67_appcompat.txt.
Each time the error comes up, a similar file is named, but with a
different letter/numnber combination before appcompat.txt. I THINK
I have done all of the obvious things, including
uninstalling/reinstalling, installing the trial version of
Dreamweaver, moving the appcompat.txt files from the temp folder
(though I think they are created when I try to open Dreamweaver. I
have also completed the suggested actions on the Dreamweaver
troubleshooting page (
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15481&sliceId=2),
through step 17. Unless someone suggests something else, I will try
uninstalling/reinstalling Dreamweaver in safe mode next. I also
should note that I previously used Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004, and
had trouble uninstalling it, and thus went through the steps
recommended on Adobe's technote "Uninstalling Dreamweaver MX/MX
2004 on Windows". Any further suggestions on how to get Dreamweaver
to work?
