Adobe Photoshop CS3 Will Not Install PLEASE HELP TRIED EVERYTHING

I downloaded from Adobe the Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial directly from Adobe. (BTW I am on Vista 32)
The first time I tried installing, ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe successfully unpacked, I successfully transitioned to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 installation, and it appeared to install. After 30 minutes or so, the installer finished and simply said that shared components had installed but the Photoshop CS3 Component install failed.
I always got in the log Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18 e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information
This, I know, is everyones typical problem.
I turned off firewall and antivirus.
I uninstalled ALL Adobe and Macromedia programs, including Flash and Acrobat.
I used Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove them.
I downloaded the CS3 Clear from Adobe and cleared at levels 1, 2, and 3.
I created the Administrator account on my computer and tried everything on the Administrator account.
I tried installing Photoshop CS3 with compatibility mode for XP SP2.
I tried:
1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
2. In the command prompt, type the command below
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
3. Reboot the machine
I tried:
Get command prompt up. It has to be run with admin rights so save yourself some time and run it this way.........Start/programs/accessories/.....right click command prompt and click run as administrator.
Then paste these commands in 1 after the other
regsvr32 vbscript.dll (THEN PRESS ENTER)
and
regsvr32 jscript.dll (AGAIN PRESS ENTER)
I even tried installing in Safe Mode but the CS3 setup would not initialize.
I do not know what else to do. I have CS2 which I will use, but I was really hoping to move to CS3 which is supposed to be better and faster. Does anyone know anything else to do? I am not a computer noob but I am not about to reinstall Vista. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the same predicament and after spend many hours over several days trying a multitude of things I finally found an easy fix (below):
========================================
Assuming you have Internet Explorer 7 go to:
Tools/Internet option/Advanced
Click the Reset dialog box. This will bring IE7 back to its default settings. You should reboot your computer. After logging back into Windows load IE and let it take you though its initial setup. When you are done close IE and install Photoshop.. This worked for me,,, hopefully it will work for you!

  • Photoshop CS3 will not install at all

    I have been using CS for years with no problems. I just UNinstalled CS in order to install CS3, full version not an upgrade, and after the install screen appears and I click install the "initiallizing CS3" appears and then Nothing Happens, absolutely nothing happens. Nothing loads, no prompts appear, Nothing. What did'nt happen? I am running XP 2 on Athlon dual core 5200+ 2Gig ram 250 gig disk. All other Adobe programs are still OK. Any help?

    Microsoft made a HORRIBLE design decision, way back with the very first version of Windoze, when they created a Registry file that was open to every program installed, or UNinstalled, on the computer
    Over time, it is very common for the Registry to become so corrupted with bad or incomplete installs or UNinstalls, that no amount of tweaking will fix the problem
    The only solution, as RB found, is to wipe the hard drive and install everything fresh
    That HORRIBLE (this is, of course, only my opinion) design desision has cause more problems than anything else

  • Flash player will not install please help.

    I am running IE and windows 8. flash works fine for chrome and any other web browser I use. The program I use for work speficially uses IE for maps and they will not load. I have unistalled and tried reinstalling, i tried to use it before when it was already installed on my computer, ive changed all the settings in internet options to what the help page says.  When i try to reinstall at the get.adobe all i get is a the page with the adobe logo,  but where it should have the doanload button and all the information it is just white... please help i need to get this solved before monday.

    Flash Player for IE in WIndows 8 is modified and embedded in the browser by Microsoft. You cannot update it or reinstall it from here... ONLY through Windows Update. There's a Microsoft KB update installed that prevents any modification outside of Windows Update for the ActiveX plugin in WIndows 8 or 8.1.
    Firefox, Opera and Safari use a standard Flash Player plugin. Chrome (like IE) has its own porprietary build (called "PepperFlash"), which is modified and embedded in the browser by Google. It functions independently of the Standard or ActiveX plugins.
    The problem you're seeing ISN'T a Flash Player problem. It's a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released it. The pages (or in this case the app) can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    Adobe can't fix this because Internet Explorer 11 isn't their product and the problem is in the browser itself, not the plugin.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 will not run

    I reloaded my windows xp 2005 (?) and tried to load my CS3 software.  It will not even run.  It has been suggested that the software can only be reloaded a certain number of times.  I have reloaded this software 3-4 (?) times over the years.  Is this the problem or is is something else?

    Don't think there is a number of times you can re-install your program.  You can only have 2 activated copies, so if you move to a different machine and don't deactivate on the old one it is still considered an activated copy.
    But why would you uninstall and re-install your copy?  THis rarely solves problems, espeically if you do not run the Adobe Script Cleaner.  Also, the preference file is unchanged on a reinstall, so if there were errors in it before, they are still there. 

  • Bootcamp update 3.1 and 3.2 will not install please help

    I am running windows 7 32 bit on a silver mac book pro. it wants me to update my boot camp version from 3.0 to 3.1 but when i go to download it, it comes up with a progress box but then after a while it gives me an error basically stating that if this problem persists try just downloading it and installing it manually well i have done both ways even downloaded it form the apple website to which no avail. when i go to run the standalone updater it give me the error " the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005) click OK to close the application" i have tried running it as an administrator, and using the compatibility mode tried it with xpsp2,3 and vista sp2,3.. please help me as i am not the only one having this problem in my department

    I donno if this is much help, but here goes.
    This was my problem: When I upgrade boot camp from 3.1 to 3.2 using the apple update software (online, and on my windows 7 64bit) It didn't upgrade. I did the restart and everything went smoothly, but it just didn't upgrade.
    Then I went on to apple boot camp software site to download the software to upgrade manually, then It says I need to locate bootcamp64.msi or something close to that.. I couldn't locate it on my hard-drive... so failure there
    Turns out that file is on the MacBook Pro Mac OS X install DVD, under boot camp - apple
    direct the location there and click on the bootcamp64 thing, and it should work  (If you have the same problem as me)

  • Libflashplayer.so will not install - Please Help!

    Hello,
    I am using a linux netbook, however I cannot install a higher version of flash player.
    I am currently using version 10.0 but want to upgrade.
    I have downloaded the flash 10.2.159 from the adobe site. I downloaded the file as a tar.gz and then I extracted the file to home/user.
    After doing this, I copied the libflashplayer.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, however when I restart my netbook, flash player does not install and removes version 10.0. The 10.2.159 version has not installed on my netbook and instead, removes flash from Firefox.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Some help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Wish  I had the Answer.
    I have the EXACT SAME ISSUE!!!
    Driving me CRazy,
    I have tried everything that I can possibly read  or decipher online,

  • Adobe Premiere CS3 will not open!

    Adobe premiere CS3 will not open.  When I click on the Adobe icon on my desktop, I get this message:  This application has failed to start because prm.dll was not found.  I've tried several things such as:  uninstalling the program then reinstalliing it.  I tried to open Adobe by clicking on one of my projects by opening MY Computer from start on the taskbar, then click on c drive, etc. but it will not open.  Before I started getting the error message stated above, when I clicked on the icon, the program would load to the point of showing the top portion of the page (file, edit, etc.) then stop.  It would never fully load.  HELP!!!!!   I'm in the middle of trying to meet several deadlines.

    First, search your system for every instance of prm.dll. See if you have one (could be corrupt, but a Repair Install should have repaired it) in your PrPro CS3 folder hierarchy. Do you have any more? How do the dates and sizes compare to the one, if there is one, in PrPro? Here is a LINK to a .dll site. I do not know this site, so cannot even comment on their .dll's. I'd do the first suggestion, well - first.
    Also, I do not know this .dll. It could be a VST from an Audio editing program, or similar. Some of these have been known to bring PrPro to its knees, at launch. Might be worthwhile to check into it a bit more.
    Also, take a look at Event Viewer. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on what to look for. Could be more happening, than the error message might lead one to believe.
    Good luck,

  • CS3 will not install on Windows 7, 64-bit. No error message. Just stops installing.

    CS3 will not install on Windows 7, 64-bit. No error message. Just stops installing. This is a brand new machine. This is one of the first things I'm installing on it. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The disks are fine. I have the programs installed on my two XP machines. When I run the disk, I get the window pop up that says "Initializing Installation for Adobe Creative Suite 3". Then the disk stops spinning and nothing else happens. No error message. Nothing else happens. I'm baffled. I have searched several discussion boards and cannot find anybody that has had a similar install issue like this.

    Old_Timer I would recommend reviewing your install logs to determine the exact error message.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the logs at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-install-logs-cs3.html.

  • Bridge CS3 will not install

    My Bridge CS3 will not install on my new Intel duo core iMac.  It worked on my earlier iMac, but when PhotoshopCS3 was moved and installed on the new one, Bridge was nowhere to be seen.  I have repaired permisisons, reinstalled PS CS3, and looked for Internet advice.
    I would really like to continue to have the Bridge in the CS3. 
    Am I  going to have to rely on my new Lightroom Developer for its Camera RAW functions and for renaming my files?  I liked the Bridge RAW converter very much.  The old Bridge is still on my machine, but its renaming functions don't suit me at all,  and for some reason it is refusing to open my non-RAW files.

    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.  I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.  This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations.
    Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.  Note that this suggestion begins with "I still advocate…", not "Apple recommends…".
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help.  Try it anyway, though.
        ====       Additionally,  if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.  If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388  Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large. Also, from:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE: There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction.  The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.    Other, more reliable reports indicate that this seems to have been fixed in the current version of Leopard.   
    In any event, Repairing Permissions and/or running the Cron Scripts cannot hurt.
    If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.  It can't hurt either, and it often improves stability and performance.

  • Adobe Download Assistant will not install.

    I'm attempting to install the trial version of Design Premium CS5.5, but the Adobe Download Assistant will not install. It appears to be installing after I click on the installer--a window loads that says "Installing"--but then nothing happens. Nothing loads. Nothing shows up in the Applications folder. After trying this many, many times (with different browsers and after many refreshes and computer restarts), I'd sometimes get an error message that I need Adobe Air. When I try to install Adobe Air, I have the same issue: nothing happens. What can I do? I am using a brand new MacBook Pro.

    I had a very very similar issue on my MacBook Pro as well with ADA. Solved it about 30 minutes ago. I found a post from late December that suggested trying the following:
    System Preferences
    Energy Saver
    Uncheck "Automatic Graphic Switching" at the top of the page.
    Install Adobe Air
    Profit.
    Hope it works for you too, I was ready to throw this box out the window.
