Cannot re-install CS3 Design Standard on my computer.

I had CS3 Design Standard on my Windows 7 pc until a power outage knocked it out. I am having no luck re-installing it. I've completed the reinstallation disk for my Dell but still cannot re-install the design programs. The only message it gives me is "Some problems occured during installation."
The disk is fine,. I just installed it on another computer the other day. But I need HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

Impossible to tell, but you might wanna read this and this. If the problems are caused by an outtage, there's a good chance your whole operating system suffered some severe damage and you need to start from scratch, that is use a low-level format and install Windows the hard way of the disk rather than just the restore media. And naturalyl run all Windows Updates and what have you...

Unable to silently install CS3 Design Standard in windows 7

I have a problem with silently installing CS3 Design Standard in Windows 7.
I have done a silent install packages using the instructions in the deployment guide.
It works just fine on Windows Vista to deploy using SCCM 2007.
But when deploying the same package on Windows 7 i fails with exit code 7.
Studying the log files tells me the following

Well i have tried installing the CS3 Design Standard on Windows 7 the normal way, logged in and executing the installer. This works fine,
nothing says that the system requirements are not fulfilled. Everything works fine.
It just dont work silently....
Does anyone know whats wrong?
Please help...

Hi, this might be a little late, but who knows, for the future reference, this is what solved the problem for me:
Each major application has a file called appname.proxy.xml in their payload folder. At the bottom of the file, simply remove the OS check:
<SystemRequirementsJSON>[
{"OS":{"Macintosh":{"Require":[{"Version":"10.4.8"}],"Exclude":[{"Version":"10.4.8"}]},"Wi ndows":{"XP":{"Exclude":true,"Require":{"MinServicePack":"2","@servicePack64Bit":1

Installing CS3 Design Standard & Premium

Hi,
A friend of mine has given me the Adobe CS3 Design Standard and Premium discs as they had the opportunity to upgrade to CS5.
I have the 2 installation discs and one video workshop discs in their box, but no other packaging.
My friend never registered or installed these items as they upgraded to CS5 before they needed to.
I'd like to install these products but I'm not sure where to get the serial number?

Was that license used as the basis for an upgrade? If so, you have no right
to use them.

When I try to install CS3 Design Standard from disc I get these errors:

Main_File_Version
Product_Registry_Parent
Product_Registry_Key
Can anyone help me?
I just bought this two days ago!
And I desperately need it working!
Thanks, Lea

So I managed to get the setup.exe to run, but it doesn't. I click on it and it looks like it is doing something and then, way to quickly for an install it finishes, and nothing happens, nothing gets installed anywhere.
I have never had software not install, this is so weird, and frustrating.
I was very excited to purchase this and be able to work from home instead of at school, and now I feel I have wasted money.
I can't even call Adobe till Monday when my home work will be late.

Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

Maybe this can help someone else... I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that. I think that sorted it! I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back. Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6. Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS. I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine. Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

J3liu1 I would recommend reviewing the installation log files for the specific error message which you are facing. You can find details on how to locate an interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

Cannot activate CS3 Design Standard in ML

Hi,
I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2 installed and recently tried to install my CS3 Design Standard bought as a student license. I can install fine, but when prompted to activate, I get an error message saying there is no internet connection. I have tried different internet connection without any luck. I do not have a firewall installed on my computer. I have tried activating it by phone but I get a voice message saying that a problem occured. My license should be just fine. What seems to be the problem?
Please help,
Best regards
PS. I should add that the programs work just fine when I use the trial license. However, I would naturally very much like to activate my license before the trial expires.

Get in touch with support. If the phone activation says that there's a problem, then something's up. That aside, refer to this:
Sign in or activation errors
Even if it's only for current products, the basic troubleshooting steps are the same...

Adobe CS3 Design Standard for Mac - lost disks

Hi!
Situation: I'm buying a new mac, and do not want to use Migration Assistant to transfer my software (mainly as I'd like to do a clean install and not migrate a load of junk that may be on my older mac).
I have lost my cs3 install disks. I'm a registered and licensed cs3 design standard user.
I've looked at the forums and contacted Adobe.
No replacement disks can be sent for legacy software, so Adobe cannot help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I dud see one post where a forum member offered assistance, but what the assistance/solution was I'm not sure as the discussion was closed/taken offsite.
Someone had suggested downloading cs3 from a torrent site, but I'm not at all keen on doing that.
Any suggestions or advice much appreciated, and yes, I'll take better care of my install disks in the future :o))).
(In my defence, lame as it is, when I bought cs3, I did see they offered replacement disks for a fee. I didn't realise this was only for current software).
Regards,
Venkat

CS3 is too old to run on a new Macintosh laptop, sorry. You'll have to purchase CS6 or a Creative Cloud subscription.

CS3 Design Standard dmg corrupted?

I have a copy of CS3 Design Standard on disc, but my new laptop does not have a disc drive. I tried downloading the file <a href="here, but I keep getting a "image not recognized" error when I try to download it. I have tried several times. The file size is listed as 2.15 GB, which matches up with what it says on the page. Is this link broken? Is there somewhere else I can get the media? Thanks.

Thanks, that did seem to work. Although now when I open that, and click on 'setup' it tells me I can't install it because it's from an 'unidentified developer'.
So I opened from the context menu, and it let me try to open it... but now it says ' Setup Error Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance'
Installing Adobe CC trial for the time being... guess I have to call customer support, eh?

Cs3 design standard registration error

I'm having trouble registering this product that I just installed. When I get to the registration window, it says"a problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet"
It is Adobe creative Suite 3, Design standard.
Also, I am getting an error box that says "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly"

The software is installed and functioning on my new Macbook Pro. When I installed the CS3 software a few days ago, I reached a point where it asked for the serial number. It accepted the number as valid, then took me to an error screen saying “A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the internet.”
After contacting this forum, I’ve come to understand that is an old/invalid screen. I was given an alternate link, and when visited that link and I entered the serial number, it gave an error which read, “The code you entered is invalid. Please try again.” (I saved a screen copy of all this. It was the correct code.)
After visiting the last link you shared in your most recent reply, and navigating around the site, I found the "My Products" page, and entered my serial number from the CS3 Design Standard. It said the serial has already been registered.
At this point, the applications are loaded, and I have been using Photoshop and Bridge cs3 for the last 4 days. Illustrator and InDesign are working as well. I can give you the serial number if that will help
I have two questions:
Will the software stop working after 30 days?? (Do I need to be bothering with all these registration errors?)
How do I install the CONTENT DVD that came in the package? There is no Set Up file or Installer on the second dvd like there was on the Application DVD. Do I transfer the files off the disc into a select folder? Or are they supposed to be installed in some way using an installer?

Installing CS4 Design Standard as an upgrade from InDesign

Installing CS4 Design Standard as an upgrade from InDesign CS on Mavericks OS but serial numbers not valid. Is there a keystroke to override this hangup?

Thanks kglad, I have attempted all of your suggestions with no success. This is a specific unique issue requiring a special set of keyboard commands to unlock or override my s/n. The product is an upgrade from an old InDesign CS. The InDesign CS is not on the harddrive, I cannot install the InDesign CS again after Mavericks upgrade. The CS4 install routine does not present an opportunity to enter the InDesign CS s/n when I attempt a trial install and launch. The initial install required a call to Adobe support and special keystrokes were provided from support to "open" the software. Please help. Adobe support via CHAT are not able to access this information.
