Cannot Uninstall Dreamweaver CS3

I could not uninstall Dreamweaver using Windows XP "Remove Programs". When I click "Remove" nothing would happen, so I tried running the Adobe Clean Up utility.
Then when I clicked "Remove", it said it had already been removed and asked if I wanted to remove it from the list. I did. Now I don't know how to uninstall it.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Doug Collins

Hello Doug Collins,
maybe I list here wellknown examples how to remove programs (my hints are translated from my German WIN):
Adobes remove program: As we can see it "means" all is deleted. So you should have a look at
Windows Control Panel (Systemsteuerung): Because of above, presumably also unsuccessful.
File manager: Search in your Adobe directory for your CS3, maybe there are remaining some files of it. And after that go to
WIN regedit.exe (the sledgehammer approach): If DW has clearly left its mark, you will find them there. Use search function, BUT be careful by deleting. in any case save your regedit first!
Good luck!

Uninstalled Dreamweaver CS3 now can't reinstall

I decided to uninstall Dreamweaver CS3, and reinstall. The

Unable to uninstall Dreamweaver cs3

Ive been trying for 2 days now to uninstall it.
I had done a system restore on my (WINDOWS) PC because of
some problems I started having, and Dreamweaver CS3 stopped
working. Its a trial version downloaded from here.
Ive read here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402004
But none of that helps, or applies to me.
When I click on the dreamweaver.exe file in
programs->Adobe-> dreamweaver cs3, it says:
quote:
"you cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the
problem by uninstalling then reinstalling this product or by
contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for
help."
When I try running the installer file again, it says:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is already installed. To remove or
modify this software please use it's original installer.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Cannot be installed because it
conflicts with:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Please help me. I just want to get it off my PC now and im
VERY frustrated.

I doubt that this is going to work.

Cannot install dreamweaver cs3 design premium on iMac

I purchased a new iMac and used the migration assistant to migrate everything from another iMac and now I cannot open dreamweaver anymore. I just get a blank error box.
Both iMacs are intel based and are running 10.2.7 (latest OS) and I never had any issues with dreamweaver on the other computer.
Since I can't afford the $1000 to upgrade my CS3 Design Premium, I need to get this working. I can open all other CS3 apps with no problems, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash.. but Dreamweaver has the error box popup.
I tried calling but Adobe doesn't provide support for their products after a new product version is released, according to Rajish the customer service rep.
I tried installing from the disk too, but that didn't work either, it gives me an error that says "Required resources are missing" and then I have to click the Quit button.
So I'm stuck, I can't use Dreamweaver unless I can somehow re-install it, or figure out what didn't migrate properly. Any ideas?
*stressed out... and chocolate is not helping....

Cyberious are you using 10.7.2 or 10.2.7? Most likely it is an issue with using the Migration Assistant. For complicated programs like Adobe products it is best to do a fresh install instead of migrating the product over. Users who use the Migration Assistant often face issues such as yours.
You have a couple different options:
The first and easiest would be to format and reinstall the OS on your new Mac. Then run the Migration Assistant again this time only bringing over your documents and settings. You will then want to reinstall the software from your installation media.
Second you can try running the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. After this is done you will want to run the CS5 Cleaner tool. For details regarding how to use and obtain the cleaner tool I would recommend reviewing CS5 Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. You can then again install from the installation media.
I honestly would recommend going with option 1. In the over decade and half I have been doing support some of the worst issues have come from the use of Migration Assistants/EZ Setup solutions. I have seen people literarily spend hours trying to resolve their difficulties.

Cannot install Dreamweaver CS3 on Vista

I'm running a desktop PC with Windows Vista Premium. I had
Dreamweaver 8 installed and want to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS3. So
I uninstalled Dreamweaver 8 and ran the setup for CS3. After the
setup extracted all he necessary setup files I saw a message saying
"initializing setup" and then...nothing. Setup just quit. I tried
several times. I've never installed any of the CS3 beta
versions...but I ran the CS3 cleanup anyway. No luck. Searched the
registry for any extra Dreamweaver entries. Nothing. The only Adobe
software I have installed is Acrobat 8 Pro and Photoshop CS2. Just
can't get Dreamweaver CS3 to install. Any ideas?

See if this helps:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc3b755
Search for the post by gorodek about modifying the
ContainerProxy.js file.
It seems to have solved the problem for several Photoshop
users, and it's
solved the problem for some DW users as well.
Hope this helps,

You can use the CS3Clean script:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401574
It's designed for removing beta versions, but should also
work with the
final release. Read the instructions carefully. The script
will remove
all CS3 programs on your computer.

Need to uninstall Dreamweaver cs3, but don't want to lose my files

Need to uninstall and reinstall Dreamweaver cs3. How do I do that without losing my files? I only have one website and a couple of dozen files related to it.Dreamweaver support forum

Your files are in a separate folder on your computer, not in the DW folder, so they should be safe.
If your site is live, your files are also on the server, and can be downloaded later if necessary.
DW simply allows you to edit those files by means of your site definition which tells DW where to find those files. Before uninstalling DW, export your site definition (an STE file) to a safe place on your computer for later import into your next DW installation.
Use the cleaner tool before installing your new DW.

Cannot install Dreamweaver CS3 on Mac

I have a MacBook, OS X 10.5.8. Processor: 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my Mac and have had no luck. There is no "Setup" as specified in the help I've found. There is Setup.exe, but that just opens in TextEdit. I've tried snooping on the disc but have found nothing that will execute.
How on earth do I install this software???
Thank you!
Paula

Well if you recently bought it try returning it or stop payment on your credit card. All discs from Adobe recently (going back probably to CS2) carry one version or the other. And given that you just got CS3 tells me the version was purchased off of Ebay, Craigslist or some other form of reselling because all commercial sales channels will be selling only CS4 at this point in time.

Cannot uninstall Dreamweaver CS4

I'm about to install Dreamweaver CS6 on my MacBook Pro (OSX version 10.9.4) and am trying to uninstall Dreamweaver CS4. I keep getting a dialog box stating "Startup Error Required files are missing." What to do? Should I simply drag all CS4 related files and folders to the trash?

Thanks Ken,
I think the essential problem is that I have no idea where the CS4 installation discs might be. Without them, all I’ve got at this point are useless aliases.
I tried the cleaner tool but with no success. I’ll keep searching and thanks again for your help.

Cannot uninstall old CS3

I try to download Illustrator from the cloud, but I get an error msg that says CS3 needs to be closed. There are no uninstall buttons.

Hi Luxabilly,
There might be some files running in the background related to CS 3 while installing illustrator.
If you are using windows open task manager and kill the entry for CS 3.
If you are using Mac open the activity monitor kill the process from there and then try.
Thanks

Dreamweaver CS3 uninstall on MAC computer then install and activate on Windows PC

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have bought and installed Dreamweaver CS3 on my MAC computer since 2008.
I am now using a Windows computer and I would like to:
1) uninstall Dreamweaver CS3 from my old MAC computer
2) install, then activate Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows computer
Could you please help me how to go about that?
Thank you for your help,
Zied Smiri

You can't. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps are only available for the current version which is CS6. CS3 is also too old to qualify for an upgrade so your only options are to buy CS6 or subscribe to the Creative Cloud version of Dreamweaver.

Problem inserting images Dreamweaver CS3

Hi, I have Dreamweaver CS3 and Dreamweaver MX 2004 loaded on
the same machine, iMac G5. My OS is 10.4.10 Tiger and all updates
are current. No particular reason, just never got around to
uninstalling the latter. Here's the problem in CS3, but not MX
2004. I can't insert images into my HTML page by any of the
following methods: insert menu at the top of the screen, or click
and drag the file. Copy and pasting the code from another page
won't even work. The only way it works is by typing in the raw code
into code view. I get a strange warning when I try to copy and
paste: something like Java script error. I thoroughly checked my
mark-up and there's no a single speck of Java Script anywhere. I've
also get other strange warnings while trying to put in images:
floating bugs.html, margin bugs.html, and others (sorry this is not
verbatum, but you get the idea). I've tried shutting dowm the
computer and rebooting, but that didn't help either. When I
switching over to MX 2004, same files, I was able to insert images
in all of the various ways mentioned above. So I'm thinking, maybe
I should uninstall Dreamweaver CS3, and reinstall from disk. So, I
did the uninstall, and emptied my trash, but haven't reinstalled
yet. Thought that I should run this by the forum first. thanks for
any help. Yesterday I got multiple sudden unexpected "quits" while
using both versions, losing unsaved work. thanks for any
suggestions, Deborah North

Cannot uninstall trial version internet explorer conflict

I cannot uninstall InDesign CS3 trial. I get an error message
installation cannot continue until the following applications are
closed: internet explorer.
Since internet explorer is not operating this message must mean
something else.
Any ideas to fix this so I can install full CS3 Suite?
Bob

Could be your active desktop, if you have that enabled. Try switching to a plain vanilla desktop (even a plain vanilla no unnecessary startup items boot would probably help).
You can also try right clicking on the process and choosing "end process tree" but I have no idea what dependencies there might be which would cause your system to crash or lock up if stopped when you do that.

Mac Dreamweaver CS3 (and only DW) will not install - Web Premium Suite

[Previously posted here - suggested to post here instead]
cannot install Dreamweaver CS3. The error is shown here:
http://flickr.com/photos/ianlloyd/1140427313/
Note: I previously took part in the DW9 (aka CS3?) beta
program but consistently had problems trying to install, so I
probably have some cruft left over.
Note also: I have used Spotlight to find anything with
Dreamweaver in the title that does not relate to DreamWeaver 8
(which is the version that I currently have running on my Mac with
no problems).
Please advise:
# What file on my system is leading CS3 installer to believe
I have CS3 installed so that I can zap it
# Any other clean-up operation I can try to resolve this.
Many thanks

Hi, Ian-
Definitely try using the CS3 Cleanup Script to remove
conflicting libraries/files/extensions/etc before another clean
install from the DVD. You can download the right version for your
platform (Mac?) here:
CS3
Cleanup Scripts
Don't forget to restart after running the scripts- often
components can remain referenced in memory after removal. Hope this
helps out!
best- Scott

Cannot see web photo gallery in design in dreamweaver cs3

have made web photo gallery in PS- opens in browser- opens in
dreamweaver cs3- I can see the code all OK can view again in
browser--But I cannot see the thumbnails or tables-yet I know its
there hidden?--How can I make it all visible

Cindy:
If you dig really deeply (10 levels down!) in your Library folder you will find the templates for the new Bridge Galleries. You can also use the Lightroom templates in Bridge CS4.
Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/07lightroomgallery/styles
I duplicated one of the enclosed Styles and dragged it to the Desktop;
opened it in GoLive (because I like the way that GL displays html code although any text editor will do);
edited the code to give me the background colors, text and image frames that I wanted; and Saved the file with a new but similar name (starting with next two digits in the series and with the .xml suffix) in the same location as the original.
And it works!
You may be able to put your existing templates in the appropriate areas.
Or, you could install the Optional Plug-ins which let you use the Photoshop/File/Automate
web galleries and put your old templates wherever you kept them for CS3.
WARNING:
You should be perfectly safe doing this but if you screw-up CS4 and have to re-install it I accept no responsibility!!!!!!!
