Cannot install trial PS CS3 : "Please insert Illustrator CS3 to continue installation"

Hi,
For school I need the Flash CS3, Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS3 software,
My teacher said it was convenient to DOWNLOAD and install the trial-software this weekend, so we can start the lessons properly on monday. Next week we will receive the keys to activate the software.
Now I have installed Flash and Illustrator, but when I try to install the Photoshop software, I get this :
http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/1808/afbeelding1yd5.png
The setup asks to insert the Illustrator CS3, but I don't have this because I downloaded the trial-software from the Adobe website..
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Thanks!
Mattias

Mattias,
First, I've never done trial downloads of any CS3 content. But there is no reason why a standalone version of Photoshop should be dependent upon installation of another Adobe application. Sounds like something is scrambled here.
But, something else comes to mind. What kind of licensing is this? Where is your teacher getting activation keys for the software?

Help! Installing software brings up "please insert "computername" disk!

Hi I'm trying to install some software for Premiere Pro CS4, It's the magic bullet mojo trial plug-in from Red Giant Software.
Anyway, when I get to the end of the installation everything stops and it asks me to insert a disk named after my computers harddrive? I.e. "Please insert the "mikeemikee" to continue installation"
I don't have a disk named "mikeemikee" and if it means the installation disks for the osx, would that be a normal thing to happen? The ones I have for the iMac are back in my hometown...
Is this a problem from the Mac's end or from the Software Mojo end?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is beginning to stress me out! I'm trying to finish my video in time for next Friday....
Many thanks

Have you read the installation instructions, system requirements and/or contact the vendor?

Please insert disk adobecptv70 to continue

Hello,
I downloaded Adobe Captivate 7 onto my computer and run the installation everything working great. When burn the copy onto a DVD and install on the same machine or different machines it keep asking;"Please insert disk Adobecptv70 to continue." Does anyone has the same problem. I haev burned like 8 different DVDs and still have the same error msg " Please insert disk Adobecptv70 to continue"
Hope to hear from you all

It sounds like the installation code can detect that you are trying to perform the install from a NON-Adobe DVD disk.
Perhaps since you did not have this issue when installing directly from the downloaded files, you need to just distribute the install files to other computers. Perhaps use a USB chip?

Cannot install crystal report server - please help

hello users,
i cannot install the server application. i put the dvd in the drive and choose german install and directly cames an error.
"Fehler bei der Übernahme der Transformationspakete. Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Transformationspfade gültig sind."
in english nearly:
"error by assumption of transformationpacket. make sure, that the transformationpath are validly"
sorry for my english but i am a long-established german

Hello Marcus,
I believe this is an 'error applying transforms' type of error.
Running the MSI installer from command line should typically resolves the problem.
From the cmd line, at the root of the CD drive, type:
msiexec.exe /i win32\businessobjects.msi TRANSFORMS=:1031
Please note that the 1031 indicates German. 1033 indicates English.
There is more information in the following SAP Note:
1202481 - Error Applying Transforms - Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
Thanks.

Cannot install trial PE7

System is ECS RS400A, 3ghz P4, 2gb, 500gb/250gb/160gb drives, Nvidia 8400GS, XP Pro SP2. Runs PE2-3-4 like a rock, XP is in good shape, no other "wierd Windows" issues going on, other installs proceed just fine. Son purchased new Samsung flash mem camcorder, and he's used to PE4, in fact more used to it than I am (!) and so naturally wants to stay with it. New cam outputs only MP4 so now we must do "something else" for software, as PE4 wants nothing to do with MP4.
Downloaded and installed trial version code. Ran the small unzipper which correctly unzipped files. Was able to install this code onto a different machine in our network, over the network, without issue. Now trying to install on the downloading machine, and it fails.
Starting at setup.exe, the installer window comes up, I select "english", then proceed, and then after 2 seconds an error dialog box entitled "windows installer version blah blah.." comes up, listing all the various switches available to windows installer, as if the command to installer was wrong. It exits.
I saw and ran the KB which evidently updates windows installer, but it made no difference.
So, I get the dialog box with the installer switches listed, then it exits and that's all, folks. Have to confess, have never seen this one before.
I must say, so far I'm not particularly impressed with 7; either on son's 3ghz P4 Asus @2gb, nor my ECS which currently refuses to install. On the Asus, it spends most of its time doing "something" which pegs CPU at 100% for extended periods of time, and performance is quite jumpy and fairly unlikeable overall. But my mission right now is to try it on my ECS to see if it is equally bad there or if it actually works. Or, maybe we have to move on to some other software with MP4 support... thought we've been so happy with PE in the past I hate to leave now.
Are people actually using PE7 successfully? Don't want to sound "negative" but every so often, things are released that are just useless... so if this is one of them I'd like to cut and run now rather than screw around forever trying to fix everything with patches, reinstalls, mods, etc. etc. Been there, done that, it's all overrated.
Thanks for your input.

Ok, I set up a spare disk, installed a quick XP pro to test, installed all the proper drivers, and then installed PE7 again.
This confirmed my earlier problem: upon loading the MP4 clips (total of 3 test clips, 4 minutes total length), the system goes into some sort of huge 100% CPU operation which lasts for A Long Time... it works and works, and slowly the yellow line proceeds through the clips... so after waiting maybe 15 minutes, it appears to be done with that (lots of time for a 4 minute clip), then I tried playing the clips. Performance is pretty much useless again. Bear in mind now that we have installed the trial here on 2 completely different machines, each running p4 @3ghz, each 2gb memory, one is an ECS motherboard, one an Asus, and both these system have pretty much flawlessly run everything else we throw at them. And they both run PE4 quite happily as well, albeit not with MP4 files.
But now they both go into some kind of apoplectic seizure with PE7 attempting to work with the MP4 files we send to it.
This started because we gave our son a new Samsung camera which outputs MP4 files. Any chance there might be something "wrong" with the MP4 files this things puts out? Maybe PE7 just isn't happy with them?
Our experience with PE4 and prior was that one could just blithely drag the 'pointer' back and forth in the timeline and the preview window would display frame for frame, wherever you were. As soon as we try that now, CPU instantly hits 100% and it's dead in the water again until we wait and wait and wait. It almost feels like there is some sort of perpetual "conversion" going on, frame for frame or something like that. Very unnerving... unusable, actually. I'm very intrigued to hear how others are doing with MP4 stuff.
Something is clearly wrong but I have no idea what it might be. I would think this should have come up before though...
Clues very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Cannot install trial Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash software

Running Windows Vista
The installation process goes to the screen where it says "Time remaining. Calculating…."
Then it says “Pleases close all of the following applications to continue:
RSO3MiddleTierService.exe
RSO3Server.exe"
I cannot continue and get two errors.
Nothing is running and I don’t see any such task and process.
If anyone knows how to remedy this, I would be very grateful.
Lisa

Hi,
Navigate to the task manager and ensure you click on "Show Processes from all users" in the processes tab before you search for the above mentioned processes.
If you are able to locate the processes, please select and end them.
If you are still unable to locate the processes mentioned above, restart your computer. Then go back to the task manager and click on "Show Processes from all users".
Now check if you are able to view these processes or anything name "Robo Source Control".
End these processes and try reinstalling the applications.

Cannot install Trial version of PP CS4

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I haven't heard back from Adobe support. I'm trying to install the trial version of Premiere Pro CS4 and every time it gets to the point where it's installing Media Encoder, an installation error message pops up and says Premiere Pro and Encore could not install and gives me the option to continue or quit. If I look at the error message it says Adobe Media Encoder: 1603 fatal error. Not matter what I try I cannot get this to install. I've uninstalled virus protection. I'm running XP SP3 with plenty of drive space and RAM. this has happened on two different computers. I've got Creative Suite CS3 installed. Anyone have any ideas I can try?

Hai Read this Fully
Fix 1:
After installing the software, run Xcelsius once under the administrative user who installed the software. This user will be prompted to enter the keycode and has permissions to write the keycode to the registry. Non-administrators can read the registry key and run Xcelsius.
Fix 2:
Logon to the machine with administrator rights.
Run regedit and go to the key u201CHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEu2013> SOFTWARE u2013> Business Objects u2013> Suite 12.0
Right click on Suite 12.0 and choose Permissions.
Grant Full Control to the Users group for this key.
Non-administrators can now write to the key and enter the keycode themselves.

Cannot install trial: prerelease version

Hi
I'm on OS Lion and on my Mac I have already installed a licensed CS Web Premium 5.5.
Now I'd like to try out Flash Professional 6 and Flash Builder 4.6. I've downloaded the two separate trial packages but when I run them, both of them will say "A prerelease version of the product is already installed" and doesn't install anything.
Now, I cannot uninstall the CS 5.5 because it's the one I have the license for and I need to work on my current projects without altering their development environment etc.
Is there a way to install the trial AND preserving my current adobe products?
Thank you in advance

Hi Jeff,
I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.4 and I didn't remove anything since I'm not sure what I should remove.
I don't think there is a beta installed previously but on this Mac there are the CS4 and CS5.5 web premium installed. To be honest I cannot be 100% sure there are no beta installed. Unfortunately the error message shown in the trial gives no specific clues.
Is there a tool I can use to assess precisely which adobe products are installed?
Thank you

Cannot install trial of Captivate 8 due to a previous bad download which won't shut down

Hi, I have tried to shut down a previous bad download of Captivate 8 on my Mac but the installer still will not let me proceed even though I have quit the program and closed in Applications / Activity Monitor. In actiity monitor I select Quit for the Captivate program but it will not quit. What can I do. I am downloading a trial of captivate 8

Sea Swimmer you may want to try rebooting your computer and then try the installation again. If you are being prompted to close Captivate files it is likely you have downloaded the installation files and are attempting to install the software. By default the installation files are saved to the download folder for your User account.
If you continue to face difficulties with the download process please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.

Cannot delete itunes .msi not found and cannot install new one! please help

Please help me awhile ago i tried deleting then reinstalling th new version of itunes / quick time and after going through most of the installation process this comes up:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below.
Use source:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jordan\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\
I made a picture of it here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/cannotfindmsi.jpg
Then i tried uninstalling it (somehow it says its installed in add or remove programs) and the same message came up.
After ages of trying to figure it out and deleting heaps of things, when trying to install now it says:
1.run or cancel (thats not the problem) i click run picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/cannotfindmsi.jpg
2.then it goes to this picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/preparingtoinstall.jpg
3. then straight to this picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/preparingtoinstall.jpg
without the the rest of the installation process...
SO i need to be able to delete it complety (the problem there is the .msi not being found).
Then install itunes / quick time without the .msi problem or the skipping of the installation process with it saying errors occurred ect...
Please help it would be much appreciated!
DJJORDIE

WHen you get trouble with msi files you usually need the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
Here is a method for removal of iTunes and related programs with clean up and reinstall.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Cannot install trial version

Hi
I've downloaded the trial version of Adobe Ilustrator CS4 in french. I run the .exe to extract files and then I run the setup.exe but nothing happened.I tried in administor mode but it's the same.
I'm seeing a setup.exe in the windows task manager/process but the install won't work.
I'm using Vista 64 bits
If you've got an idea ?
Greg

I think the question is why Adobe have not fix the installers?
How many years this company needs to fix something that was severely criticized right from the beginning?
Even John Nack said it in his blog : http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/12/notes_from_installer_mgmt.html#more
Or try this article dated Dec 3, 2008: http://www.macworld.com/article/137296/2008/12/adobe.html
So why waste the time installing faulty software with critical bugs that Adobe refuses to fix?
Where is CS4 update?

Cannot install trial, setup.exe launches but no window opens

I have a license of Dreamweaver CS4 (it's registered) and I wanted to install it. I however can't find the disk so I downloaded a trial (where I would supposedly be able to convert it to a registered version). I downloaded the trial using the Akamai Download Manager to my desktop, and ran the Executable to extract files from the .7z. It launched "setup.exe". It required UAC permissions, so I gave it UAC permissions.The problem I am having here is that the installation wizard "setup.exe" is not appearing in the GUI, even though the process is running (I can see it in the task manager, it's running, screenshot attached). It would nice if you knew a way to fix this problem, and thanks in advance for your help.

Are you re-installing on the same system or installing on a new system. If it is a re-install there could be left-over files from the original install that are causing issues. In this case you would need to run the clean script before installing ( Adobe - Adobe CS4 Clean Script ). That will wipe all traces of the Adobe software, including serial numbers.
If not you may need to contact Adobe technical support. They do offer free installation help for all users. They will need to know more about your system so be prepared for those questions (ie; Windows Vista/7?, 32 or 64 bit?, etc.).

Cannot install trial acrobat pro, file damaged.

Downloading from the website, but no luck. XP 64 bit

try a different browser and/or a different (wired) connection and/or a download manager. or
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Standard and Reader: Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
