Can't re-install CS3 master collection.

Im having problems reinstalling CS3 master collection, Im not sure why? (What happend before the problem) It says that it is not working and telling me to uninstall then reinstall it, so I uninstall and started having problems re installing it. What happens is it says its installing then installs some programs but none of the main ones i need. It installs acrobat 8 and some others but thats it, then it says the rest fails. I've monitored it while it was installing and for the most part it just says installing shared components until the very end of the process.
Has anyone ever had this problem? or anything similar? Please help me.

Did you get this resolved? I am having the exact same problem and technical support will not assist me over the phone since it is an older version of CS.  Thanks.

  • Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

    I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
    I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Tahseen,
    Thanks for the quick reply!
    Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
    Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
    Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
    Thanks again!

  • Problems installing CS3 master collection

    So i just received Adobe CS3 Master Collection and was trying to install it on my MBP. After it installed the first disc, i would get a black window that said installer alert. I went to adobe webpage and they told me it was because i had the safari 3 public beta installed and that I needed to remove it. i wasnt entirely sure how to do this so I just dragged it to the trash and emptied it. then i put in my tiger os x dvd and reinstalled safari 2.whatever. after clearing out the old partial install of CS3, i tried again but i got the same crap with the blank window. did i really uninstall safari 3.0 or is there more i need to do? this is really annoying and want to get to using my new software

    You can't just delete the Safari 3 Beta. You must use the uninstaller found on the .dmg file.
    Download it again, if deleted, or install it again to run the uninstaller.
    It will restore Safari 2.0.4

  • Cannot uninstall/re-install CS3 master collection suite

    Hi,
    I’m having problems getting through this:
    I am running Windows 7
    I have installed Adobe CS3 Mater Collection Suite in trial version. The programs were working ok but
    After some days starting any of the programs gives this error:
    "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
    I have tried to uninstall and re-install the suite without success: for install the setup would start but then just exits without any error or warning. For uninstalling in Control Panel it seems to load something but nothing comes up. For any other program I try to uninstall the process works without problems.
    I have followed Adobe article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402048.html
    I have tried to run the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool for Windows but it finds no Adobe products installed
    I haven’t used MSICUU2.exe as it has been discontinued from Microsoft
    I have tried to uninstall using Windows in Safe Mode but no luck, the uninstall does not start.
    I have tried to create a new user with admin rights to uninstall the Suite but no luck.
    thanks,
    Mic

    Missed that part.

    Hi edmon3611,
    Not sure why its not initiating the install but you can try rebooting the computer in selective startup : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html and check if any 3rd party software might be interrupting the install.

  • CS3 Master collection updates - where can I find them?

    I own the CS3 master collection
    Last week my hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall all my software which has taken me over a week! Unlike every other software manufacturer website I visited adobe seems to have no download portal for legacy products! I'm assuming they must have it somewhere but I don't know where.
    Not only would I like to know how to find these updates since the automatic update functionality no longer works and the original package included many bugs which were fixed in these updates  - but I'd like to suggest that Adobe conform to the rest of the software world and make this kind of thing easy to find. As a result of not making this easy - instead of doing the work I should be -  I'm spending time on the phone, in chat rooms and on this forum all because I ran into one of the original bugs this morning (the indexing function in In Design v5.0)
    I now know that Adobe only supports their current version and the previous one - so if you are a CS4 user you should probably archive whatever updates you've installed because once CS6 comes out - you'll be going through the same thing I am.
    Please help if you can

    I am unsure if you are using Windows or Macintosh but I do see the updates as being available under Product updates in our Download section.

    Creative Suite for Macintosh - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=1&platform=Macintosh
    It looks like we have updates all the way back to the original Creative Suite.  The Creative Suite 3 updates are about midway down the page.

    Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

    Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade.  What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.

  • Is the any place can down load a copy of CS3 Master collection disk 1

    Is the any place can down load a copy of CS3 Master Collection disk 1.
    I bought Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection.
    it has never been registered.
    It ALL INSTALLS OK, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ILLUSTRATOR.
    I was told to go to your fttp site I did so and it is funny but you have the creative suite there for CS, CS2, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 but not CS3.
    There is Illustrator CS3 there but not sure if that will work with the Master Suite and the Master Suite serial number.

    Please go through the mentioned link and download the CS3 Master Collection: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html

  • CS3 Master Collection install fail on Windows 8

    I have CS3 Master Collection, it keeps failing to install the main components
    Here are the Components that Installed
    Here are the components that didn't install
    Here are the program files

    You are on your own. CS3 was never tested or developed for Win 8, so compatibility issues are expected and inevitable. Try compatibility modes and all that...
