Adobe Illustrator CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6 and CC failed to install. Error 7.

Hi,
About a year ago I've updated my OS to Mountain Lion (if I remember well) and Illustrator stopped working. So I've uninstalled it and tried to install it again but it didn't worked. The installation failed every time. I've tried every Illustrator from CS3 to CC but nothing worked. And I just gave up, but now I really really need the program and I'm not good at fixing things on my Macbook, so is there someone who can give me a hand?
PS. I'm getting an "error 7" when I try to install it.
Thank you so much!

In case it says Exit Code rather than Error...

  • Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 update - German failed installing on Mac OS 10.9

    ...after installing the software on an new macbook pro with mac OS 10.9 the
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 update - German  doesnot work. The following error occured. I've already re-installed the software, but the error occured again. Can anybody help?

    Moving this discussion to the InDesign forum.
    CS3-Fan there may be other Users who have also installed InDesign CS3 under Mac OS 10.9 in the InDesign forum.
    As a first step though I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the update.  Please see Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-install-logs-cs3.html for information on how to locate and interpret the installation log files.  Please feel free to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • CS5 AE and Premiere Fail to install on MBP i7

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Premiere and After Effects onto new MacBook Pro, with 2.66 Intel i7 and its running OS 10.6.3.
    I've tried installing the try of the Production suite and Master collection and with both I get all the App installed exept After Effect and Premiere both fail to install. I checked and it is running 64 bit so I'm a bit confused, any ideas?

    Yeah, but it definitely thinks you are running on an unsupported CPU.... I would try to boot into safe mode and let OSX repair itself, maybe that helps.

  • From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

    From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

    Nobody can tell you that. CS2 activation was turned off because of bugs in the software that made it too difficult to maintain. so far no such thing has been the case with the otehr versions. Either way, if and when that time comes surely Adobe will let you know and provide a solution...

  • 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.

    Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

  • My adobe illustrator CS3 won't work with OS X Yosemite

  • Adobe Illustrator CS3: Fatal error during installation

    Hello,
    I just bought the AI CS3. It installed OK on my friend's laptop (windows). However, when I clicked the big button in the installation:
    "Install Adobe Illustrator CS3"
    A window showed:
    Initializing Adobe Illustrator...
    Then I got a message:
    "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer Support for assistance. Fatal error during installation".
    I've tried several times. My computer meets all the requirements (it's a really new and faster PC). And there's no old versions of AI on it yet.
    Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

    Do you have any other Adobe products on your computer? When I installed CS3 on my Mac, I kept getting failures. After contacting Adobe, they told me I had to delete ALL other Adobe products -- including Flash and Adobe Reader. Plus, I had to do searches and delete any support files associated with them. It took hours!

    Hi everyone,
    I am not able to play online videos in Adobe Flash CS3/ CS4. Reinstalled, changed computer, the same. But I could play just a month ago. Any idea what could have happened to my Adobe Flash CS3/ computer  or any other source please?

    Thanks for the help guys.
    Clearing the cache didn't work, but removing the Youtube cookie and restarting firefox did. I can now switch to Hi-def again

  • MAC Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3

    Model Name:iMac / Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo / Memory:4 GB
    When I installed Illustrator CS3 at the first time, I didn't complete it and closed it. While I installed it again, it said "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3". I was be stopped on this step, so I deleted the Illustrator CS3 from Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers without clicking it to uninstall. And I deleted other Illustrator CS3 files. After that, I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS3 again, but it kept to say "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3".
    I cannot find any Illustrator in my MAC. What is wrong? How can I install Illustrator again? Should I format the computer and install all the applications again?

    On the Adobe site probably under support do a search for Adobe CS 3 Clean Up Script.
    Before running the script read the instructions al the instructions first, do not assume you understand from reading the first sentence. There are some files that are not so obvious that are necessary for activation and they are probably still around but they can only be removed by the script.
    Next time you will have to read the instructions.
    The only other ways around this is the do an archival reinstall of your system or if that does not work a complete reinstall of your system. Running the script is the easier and better way to do this but you must read the instructions completely first.

    Have you tried Uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it?
    Go to:
    Mac HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Adobe Installers -> Add or Remove Adobe...
    Then reinstall it from your disk or disk image.

  • Installing Adobe illustrator cs3- no file for setup

    My computer is :
    iMac
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4（11E53）
    I want to install Adobe Illustorator CS3, but couldn't find
    "Setup（Macintosh）"file in "Adobe Illustrator CS3" folder.
    I could find "Setup.exe" file, but couln't start with this file.
    Is this mean that this is not for mac OS?
    Please tell me how I can start installing.  Thank you.

    Not sure, but I believe in CS3 it was still called "Install Illustrator CS3" All you should need is to mount the DMG file and than run that. Perhaps if you provide a screenshot we might advise further...
