Can't Install CS3 Extended from the Installation CD

System: PC and Windows Vista Home Premium.
Problem:
Due to a conflict with Album DS I had to uninstall and reinstall CS Extended. However, when trying to re-install CS3 Extended:
Background/Attempts to fix:
- I can not launch the installation process from the program CD.
- Nor can I explore the CD. It appears as if there are NO files on it but it uses 721MB.
- Installation has no problem initiating on an XP laptop.
- I just installed Turbo tax on the Vista PC in the same drive so its not the drive.
- Right clicking on the Rom Drive in Windows Explorer gets me as far as the installation start screen. BUT when I click on this install button I get Specified file not found
HELP!

I spent over an hour with Adobe Support to no avail. Tried:
- different,external Rom Drive
- tried a SECOND install DVD I received from Adobe last(and first)
time I tried to install CS3
- a "modified start up" installation (disabled a bunch of things),
- installing under a new account
None of this worked.
What DID work was to copy the content of the install DVD onto my laptop then to a flash drive then onto my Vista system drive and install from there. I didn't even have to re-enter my serial number for some reason.
I never resolved the issue but I am now using CS3 again. Ouch.

  • HT4759 I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

  • Can I install Pages only from the iwork '09 suite

    Hi new to MAC and happy with office mac 2008 except like the features and versitility of pages. can I install this only from the suite???
    Many thanks

    You can't choose to just install Pages. You will have to install all three applications.They together are only 700 Mb in the Application folder. Of course you can afterwards delete Keynote and Numbers if you like.

  • I can't install Flash Builder from the Web Premium suite, what should I do?

    I just downloaded the Adobe Creative suite 5.5 Web Premium and am about to install the program but notice a note next to the Adobe Flash Builder program... it explains that my system doesn't have the requirements needed for this program. I checked and it explains further details stating that I need to have a • Mac OS X v10.5.6–10.6 and I doubled check which version I have and it's OS X 10.5.8. Doesn't this actually mean that it does meet the requirements?
    Please advise as to what can be done to be able to download this specific program.
    Thanks,

    We do still need more information such as how much memory you have,

    processor are you using.  I good guide is to look at the system 
    requirements and try to post for each of the items within the 
    requirements.  The system requirements for Web Premium can be found

    Also you can find this information within your System Profiler.  The 
    easiest way to access the system profiler is to go to the Apple Menu

  • Can I install OneNote 2003 from the recovery disk?

    I need a clarification (both my local Toshiba dealer and Microsoft helpdesk have proven to be equaly useless)
    I have a Toshiba Satellite and product recovery
    Recently (per mistake) I uninstalled Microsoft OneNote 2003
    It is still on my recovery CD, I have licence number but I cannot install it without reinstaling whole system and formatting my hard disc?
    And I really don't want to do that.
    Is there any other way?
    Thanks for your help

    It seems you didnt understand the whole thing
    The point is that you get the software (for free) in connection with your notebook.
    Its is not a full licence. Its an OEM licence this means that you can use this software only on this notebook.
    Because of that you have to use the Recovery disk if you want to use all the additional (non-Toshiba) programs.
    The Toshiba tools and software can be downloaded from the Toshiba page but you will be not able to download non-Toshiba software.

  • Can't install Adobe AIR from badge installer on Windows after AIR 3.3 updated

    On Windows, the badge downloard won't install AIR. When the badge is clicked, it pops up a confirmation dialog to install Adobe AIR. When you click on "yes" button, progress bar indicate Adobe AIR is being installed but when the progress bar is complete, it doesn't do anything. If you click on the badge again, same thing is repeated.
    It doesn't look like it's isolated to my app. I've tried to download few other AIR app through badge installer and they all failed.
    This behavior seems to line with the Flash 11.3 and AIR 3.3 roll out.
    Anyone have any idea why this is happening and if there's any workaround around it?

    What browser and OS are you using?  Can you share this badge page with us so I can try it out?  Finally, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.
    Thanks,

  • Can I install an app from the mac app store on just my login?

    I'd like to download apps from the mac app store to just my login and NOT have them installed on other users logins.  how can I do this?

    In your Mac, you have two Applications folder: /Applications, and ~/Applications.
    The first one is the used by default and it stores the applications that are going to be used by all users. The second one is stored in your user folder (~ refers to the user folder), and you have to put the apps you only want to use yourself in this app.
    First, open Finder, select Applications folder in the sidebar and copy all the apps you want, selecting them with Command key and then, pressing Command and C keys. After that, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Applications, and press Command and V keys there to paste your applications.
    Finally, go back to /Applications and delete the copied apps, so only you will be able to access to those applications

    - I have tried the same, after a new inscription of the windows msi installer - nothing change. 
    - A nokia process was still working in the background (Nokia server), I kill it, but it's still imposible to remove the "missing" driver.

    - No answers in the forum.
    - Crazy answer from the hotline (Everything is Ok and if it doesn't work ask to the hot line of the operating system : an automatic mail you can't respond to with the message, if you don't answer we consider the problem is solved - I don't have so much time to spend asking again the same question to get another non-answerable answer)
    - The informations I've found in this forum doesn't work.
    So I solve the problem turning off their phone.

  • How can I install an app from the App Store to all the iMacs in my lab?

    Hi,
    I'm using ARD to administer an iMac lab. I know how to install packages using ARD, but App Store apps require an Apple ID. I want to install free educational apps (not paid) on every machine in my lab.
    Should I make a new Apple ID for myself as administrator, or for the school? Or can I use my own?
    How do I automatically install an App Store app on every computer? Do I have to manually enter my Apple ID and password on every machine or is there an automated way, as with packages?
    The current version of ARD (3.6) doesn't seem to have been updated with the App Store in mind. There should be a way to enter my credentials and automatically "sign" the apps, then deploy them with one click like regular packages.
    Or, is there a limit to the number of seats that can run an app downloaded under one ID, even with free apps? In that case, how the heck do I get a free app installed on every machine?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • How can I install any application from the web as I can`t do so now?

    can I download and install any web application with Adobe download assistant?
    such as download accelerator plus or any other download manager.

    What has this to do with Adobe? You're looking in the wrong place. Browser plug-ins/ extensions are handled by the respective routines in the browsers themselves...

  • I erased my HD. Now I can't instal mountain lion from my bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."

    I bought  mountain lion, made a bootable flash drive.
    I booted from it and it went to upgrading right away!
    So I stopped it and went to my former recovery partition I erased my HD because I wanted a clean start.
    Now I can't instal mountain lion from the bootable flash drive, and keep getting "installation error. Try again."
    and there is no 4 choices window.
    I don't know what to do.

    How did you create the USB install thumb drive? If it was with Disk Utility I have run into this problem and have since used THIS program to make the USB install drive.
    As to your problem you only have one option and that is to Reinstall the Original OS X version that came on your computer or if you still have the Lion Recovery Partition use that to reinstall Lion. Or if you system came with Lion and you have No Lion Recovery HD Partition you can boot the system from over the internet and Reinstall Lion.
    At startup hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you saa a spinning Globe in the center of the screen. Once that loads Repartition the drive as One partition and then reinstall Lion.

  • Can't download an application from the net because of an apple security block

    MacBook Pro C0*******3UG 1TB Os 10.9.5
    I can't install an application from the net because of some Apple security block. How do I remove or get around the block? The instructions in help say to double click  the application and all that happenes is that I get the same window saying I can't install.
    <Edited By Host>

    It's usually not necessary to change any security settings, and as a rule you shouldn't.
    To make a one-time exception to the security policy, follow these instructions. They apply to Installer packages and other installable items as well as applications.
    Some defective software installers may fail when Gatekeeper is enabled. Think carefully about whether you really want to run such an installer. If you do, temporarily change the setting to
              Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere
    When the installation is done, revert the setting.
    Some applications that don't have a developer signature have been reported not to launch the first time unless Gatekeeper is disabled. The warning message from Gatekeeper is that the application "is damaged and can’t be opened." Again, think carefully about whether you want to trust the application. If you do, disable Gatekeeper as above, launch the application, and then re-enable Gatekeeper. If you still get the warning, delete the application.

  • Can't open Spaces Preferences from the MenuBar Spaces icon

    ---I have to go to System Prefs and do it from there.
    The Menu Bar Spaces icon offers the possibility to open Spaces Prefs from there, but it doesn't work. Nothing happens.

    Sounds like Spaces may be corrupted. You may need to reinstall by doing an Archive & Install.
    You also may be able to simply re-install Spaces using Pacifist which will install individual applications from the installation disk. I haven’t used Pacifist, but I’ve seen it highly recommended on this forum and it has a high rating from those who have used it at VersionTracker.com.
