Can't Install or Remove CS3

Hi,
I'm having trouble running the setup program from the DVD, it just quits on me with no explanation. I tried going to Add/Remove programs but I can't even remove what I had installed previously. I checked the error log file that Adobe provides when installations fail and it keeps coming up with this error:
Fatal error initializing from proxy files.
The following proxy files could not be loaded
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\5ac697db6c6103f6f8b5198d25f73f7\payloads\AdobeExtendScriptToolKitA ll\AdobeExtendScriptToolKitAll.proxy.xml
I have no idea what any of this means or how to fix it?, can someone please advise me on how to fix this problem?.
-Regards
DM.

Can't install or remove Acrobat 8 (CS3 Web Premium for Mac)

I installed CS3 Web Premium on my Mac (Leopard 10.5.1).
All is well, except Acrobat 8 Professional doesn't install. When I mount the DVD and try to install it, it says it's already installed on my computer. Except, it isn't. So, since it thinks it's already installed, there isn't an uninstall option available anywhere.
I've removed the entire CS3 suite, ran the utility Adobe provides for cleaning everything, and yet it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? Is this something I have to wait for Adobe to fix due to Leopard? Every other CS3 app works fine, except Acrobat.
Thanks!

Hi Amitoj,
I tried your procedure, but it does not work.
In /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers, there are two files: Adobe InDesign CS3 and Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium.
I clicked on the Add or Remove Adobe CS3 Web Premium link, which launches the Setup file for CS3. In the Manage Adobe CS3 Web Premium Components screen, I can choose between Install or Reinstall, or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium Components.
If I select Install or Reinstall and click Next, the next screen shows that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional is already installed (but it's actually not). In the bottom panel, titled Select the components you want to reinstall, Acrobat, of course, is not listed since the installer think it's already on my system, as I just noted.
If I press Back and select Remove Adobe CS3 Web Premium Components, all my CS3 applications are listed, except Acrobat 8!
So, I can't install Acrobat 8 since it thinks it's already installed, and I can't remove it because, well, I can't figure out why.
Thanks for your help.

Can't install Premiere Pro CS3 in vista x64!

Hi
I'm trying to install Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 trial version on my system Vista Ultimate X64, every time I run setup.exe that extracted on my desktop it load for few seconds, loading and then it close with no reason.
There's no error code or any message after it close. and I'm also pretty sure that my system met recommended requirements. I'll upload dxdiag anyway.
I just were on my way to buy this product but I said ill try it as long as there a trial version, thanks to "trial versions" idea that adobe presents to us.
Anyway, what is my problem, what's wrong?

I have to agree with Aanarav but I haven't suffered the same USB audio problem. My Rode mic works fine.
I've loaded CS3 Production Premium on Vista x64 and suffered no ill effects at all. My projects are longform (documentary) and the greatest benefit so far is the drastically reduced rendering times (mind you that's a quad core with 8Gb of memory.) Apart from the Adobe suite I can run GPU based programs like ProDad's Vitascene and many others concurrently without affecting processing speed all that much. For the first time I can actually run Prem Pro and Avid liquid at the same time (not too well mind you) and that's a feat.
As to all the "questions" Vista may ask the solution is simple - turn them off.
There's a lot of rumours about "lack" of drivers but this is changing daily and I don't have one piece of hardware/software from XP that can't run on Vista x64 including my 14 year old HP Laserjet 6p printer. The only hardware I needed to replace was my Lide30 Canon scanner (2 years old).
Oh! the nVidia x64 bit video drivers are a treat.
Vista x64 - faster than a speeding bullet (if you have a half decent machine)

Can't Install after removal....prev edition error? any suggestions?

I deleted Quick Time and now cannot re-install it because of supposed "previous edition installed " error.
Any Sugggestions??
I went into reg editor and tried to find it but couldn't locate where hang up is.
I was using pro edition.

There may still be installation configuration information on the PC for the previous version.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC. (Run the Utility, find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appear in CleanUp, select the QuickTime entries, and then click “Remove”.)
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?
If not, what's the precise text of the installation error message that you get this time?

What's the proper way to remove CS3 after CS4 install without screwing up Acrobat?

During CS4 installation, I had some serial number issues with Acrobat. It turns out that even though Acrobat is part of the creative suite, the licensing for it is different. I've got all of that sorted out now and CS4 is successfully installed. Now I need to remove CS3, but I don't want to remove any shared components that would disable or affect Acrobat.
Should I just remove the CS3 folders in my Applications folder or should I use the CS3 Uninstaller?

I can't run any of the CS3 apps because of the Acrobat licensing issue that I mentioned earlier. Therefore, they're just taking up hard drive space now. I also have a suspicion that CS4 and CS3 might be sharing resources? Can't quantify that but quitting CS4 apps takes forever and shutting down the machine after quitting CS4 apps takes even longer.

Remove cs3 bridge cache after installing cs5

I removed cs3 including bridge and installed cs5 and find that the cs3 bridge cache and associated files are still in my hard drive occupying 6.5GB of space. Can I remove this and how?

CS3 and CS5 uses different cache data bases, so you can delete them using the CS3 purge cache in preferences. If you have uninstalled CS2 just delete the files.

CS4 Install does not remove CS3

I installed CS4 Web Premium 4 over CS3 Web Premium and CS3 still exists in the folders, but not in the "remove programs" file.
How can I remove CS3? And its programs?

I do not intend to imply that you can use the DW apps simultaneously, though. You cannot. -- Murray "Murray" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Just so you'll know, all such installations occur as stand-alone apps. > They > have never removed the previous version - they are completely independent > installs.

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

I need help removing CS3 from Windows 7 so I can reinstall

Before trying to remove try re-installing CS3 right on top of the current install. Often re-installing Photoshop on top of itself fixes the install. If it does be sure to apply the cs3 updates.

Remove CS3 with CS5 Installed

Hi!
I had CS3 installed when I purchased CS5. I didn't remove CS3 and now I'd like to. Will this affect my CS5 install at all?
Thank you!
Karen

It could. It sometimes affects the File Type Associations. It seems counterintutive, but removal of CS3 can cause the files look for CS3 rather than CS5. It is a mess to get it back to looking for CS5.
Unless you really need the HD space it is best to leave it installed. Can never tell when you might want to use it.
If you really want to uninstall CS3, and have no problems, it is recommended to uninstall both versions, run Adobe Clean Scripts (to get rid of remnants), then re-install CS5. If you do this be sure to deactivate the copies before the uninstall. (In Help menu)
Hope this helps.

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

How to install Windows on MAC? (Can't see the check box "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version" on Boot Camp Assistant)

I want to install Windows 7 on my MBP mid 2012 but in Boot Camp does not appear the check box: "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version". I continued with making the USB bootable with Windows 7 but then when I restart and boot with the USB I still can't install Windows because then I receive an error: ""Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style."
From OS with Boot Camp I didn't manage to make a partition for Windows instead I made one with Disk Utility (formated FAT).
After booting from USB that partition was also formated into NTFS necessary for Windows. Still the same error.
Any idea how to install Windows on my MAC?

My Windows copy is a X64.

I'm trying to install Adobe PS CS3 for my boss on an other computer. I put the Program on a hard disc and copied it to the other computer now it won't open and says it needs the license. What can I do to make it work on this computer?

Copying the program over to a new machine will not work. Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

I can't install, repair, or remove BootCamp drivers from my Windows installation

I have Windows XP SP3 installed on my Macbook Pro. When I installed Windows originally it failed to completely install BootCamp drivers, so I don't have advanced trackpad and keyboard features. I've downloaded the latest BootCamp drivers v3.2 that still run XP, but I always get a message saying that "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installin this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753." I don't have anything in C:/Program Files/Bootcamp (It doesn't exist), and the Bootcamp icon in Control Panel doesn't work.
I can't install, remove, or repair the drivers, not even using the software that came with my Mac OS X install DVD. On the Mac side, I'm running Snow Leopard. I've searched Google for help and couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already gone through the registry and removed a bunch of Apple-related stuff, but it didn't help.
Thanks! Shayne

At last I got it all to work. I had to go into the registry and delete all references to Apple software and drivers. Some of the entries were locked, and I had to change permissions to allow me to delete them, which was probably the reason the installer kept failing. I finally got Boot Camp 3.0 installed off the Snow Leopard DVD and then upgraded to 3.2. I had a hickup with the trackpad drivers which didn't work, but I found a fix online -- the drivers labeled "TouchPad" were banged out, and I had to switch them to Generic USB Human Interface and then back to Apple TrackPad drivers, which fixed the problem. Now everything is working beautifully with multi-gesture touch pad and keyboard extensions. Yay!!!!!
