CS3 cannot install on win7 professional

Dear Supporter,
after setting up Win7 Professional 64bit in an virtualbox (4.3.10r93012) I tried to install my old copy of Adobe Master CS3. The installer runs trough all DVD's but at the end only the common files are installed (all selected programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere failed to install). I have also tried to install only Illustrator 13 from DVD4 but it won't work without the installer on DVD 1. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi hmkeller,
You might want to try downloading CS3 from : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html
and install in compatibility mode as CS3 has not been tested and is incompatible with Windows 7.
Please consider purchasing the Creative Cloud subscription.
Regards,
Rave

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. When I get to the point of inserting the Windows disc and clicking 'Install' at the Boot Camp Assistant screen, it keeps telling me that it cannot find the Install Disc. The installation disc I am using is a new full install disc. I have tried to do the same thing using a Windows 7 disc with the same results. Does anyone have any answers. I am getting desperate!

Perhaps you could offer a suggestion then.

You should try contacting someone at Adobe Customer Support or Tech support (?). While it would be nice, Adobe personell do not monitor these forums as a general practice. These are user-to-user forums and getting help or attention from folks at Adobe by posting here is less likely to happen than if you try contacting them directly.

Cannot install VS 2014 Professional (Update 4) on Win 7

I am unable to install VS on my machine. The installer simply hangs and I cannot proceed. At this point in time I have tried all the steps as mentioned in the post below, but nothing seems to help,
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/80dc5118-c386-41ad-b495-fe0e00d468d4/installation-of-visual-studio-professional-2013-rc-hangs?forum=vssetup
Any help appreciated.
Here is a link to the installation log if that helps - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/94505500/dd_vs_professional_20150502132924.log

Hello schnittm,
I'm also not sure of the reason after reading your post. But I have got some reports about VS cannot be installed on Virtual Machine.
Can you refer to this page
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2899270?wa=wsignin1.0 and follow the following steps to collect logs:
Download the
Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET Framework Log Collection tool
(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12493)
(collect.exe).
Run the collect.exe tool from the directory where you saved the tool.
The utility creates a compressed cabinet file of all the VS and .NET logs to %TEMP%\vslogs.cab.
Post the vslogs.cab file with some descriptions of your issue to the forum.
I recommend you make sure your virtual machine software is up to date and all the drives in your VM are properly installed.
Best regards,
Barry

PS cs3 cannot install screen error

PA3541U-2PRP dynadock vga cannot install with win7 and latest drivers

Hello, I need help installing this on a Tecra A8 S8513. I have Win7 professaional installed and I've tried to install the dynadock with all variations of drivers, letting Windows discover and install (bad 5.3 core was found) and using 7.03 and 7.1, 6.3 and 6.2. None of them stop the infinite loop of the graphics setting for the first time and none of them solve the generic usb hub that it should have. It's like the install is connecting and disconnecting in an infinite loop. I've also tried (after dynadock failures) plugging in a usb mouse and the vga/rgb monitor directly to the three usb hubs in the rear and they don't even come up as new hardware. I've searched here and all over the internet for solutions. None have helped.

The first code block contains my Xorg.0.log however I just tryed modprove nvidia and recieved FATAL: Module nvidia not found. which I discovered was solved by someone here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=961852 however when I tryed to do a pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils I get a unresolved confilict with nvidia-304xx-utils which after trying to remove with pacman -Rs shows dependencies with cario, Im not sure how far back I should start removing things to solve this conflict or how to go abouts solving it
+++++++++
Update: Solved
+++++++++
I did some more looking and found I could force the uninstall of nvidia-304xx-lts with pacman -Rdds nvidia-304xx-lts and after revisiting the Nvidia page on the wiki for the dozenth time I started thinking maybe I needed nvidia-304xx oposed to the lts release as google as kindly pointed out lts is long term support and maybe my kernel was not lts and thus conflicting. This turned out to be the case, after removing the ofending lts version of the driver, replacing with the correct nvidia-304xx , another nvidia-xconfig and reboot followed by modprobe nvida and startxfce4 my wounderfull xfce is now running as I type this messsage in firefox. Thank you for you help, as you asking about the modprobe output caused the chain of events leading to the success.

Cannot install Adobe CS3, Installer fails

Hi, everybody,
I hope somebody can help me here, as for almost 3 weeks now I am trying to install Adobe's CS3 Design Premium and I can't get it to work. Adobe's tech support is very friendly and comes with solutions and things to try now and then but first response time is really slow (48h) and secondly they haven't found a solution yet, though being escalated up in Tech Support levels already.
Problem:
Can't install CS3 (English version), Design Premium
Platform:
WinXP Professional SP2 2002 (all patches) US
Intel Pentium M 1.7 GHz
1.5 GB RAM
C:, D: Partition
On C: still 25 GB available
Computer is in domain.
Have tried to install it as local Admin and Domain-User (who is also in local Admin group with all rights).
Furthermore CS2 is installed, Macromedia, Office products etc.
Details:
1. Can start installer, all screens are accessible, can make entries everywhere.
2. Installation starts and progress bar appears.
3. Installers runs to the end (without any problem), summary screen comes.
4. Summary says that some products could not be installed.
5. Installer installed the "smaller" apps, like Acrobat, Device Central, Bridge etc. BUT NOT Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator etc.
Side effect is that, as Acrobat and Distiller cannot be activated by itself, I cannot use them anymore and the CS3 installer does remove these two CS2 products. Well, working with Reader currently :-(
Also, the numerous uninstallations (45 min!) remove also PDF plug-ins and Flash plug-ins, so a terrible situation to be in.
What I have tried so far (and which hasn't worked):
1. Ran CHKDSK over the hard disks, no issues.
2. Installed from hard disk (instead DVD).
3. Disabled all services and startups, as well as firewalls, virus scanners etc.
4. Let the cs3clean script run (provided by Adobe, which resolves problems if you had CS3 beta installed, which I didn't), with level 1 and 2.
5. Tried to install only specific applications (not all).
6. Ran MSCLeanup app.
7. Analyzed CS3 Install log for FAILED, Error Code 3 etc., no dramatic entries. Only thing that sometimes appears:
- Error 1303, not enough privileges for CONFIG.MSI, which seems to be a known MS issue when the hard disk responds too late. Of course privileges for CONFIG.MSI are there, also tried reapplying them, deleting folder etc.
8. Applied privileges new to all folders.
9. Ran a registry cleaner
10. Deinstalled Bridge 1.0
11. Tried it in Safe Mode, not possible (Installer says cannot be run in sfae mode).
More:
Adobe tech support also suggested to uninstall Bonjour, but I cannot find any entry and therefore have no idea how to uninstall. Add/Remove programs doesn't list it.
As the Installer runs about one hour, it is not only time-consuming, it also kills my productivity, as no Browser, Adobe or MS product can run when the installer is running.
Googled for error 1303 and CONFIG.MSI similar problems. Found numerous entries with CS3 installation issues, with some the CS3 Beta clean script helped, others had success with copying installation folder to hard disk, everybody something else (or no solution). And nothing that helped me.
As I know haven't heard from Adobe Tech Support for four working days, does anybody have any idea what else I could try?
Thanks
Matthias

There are log files that record the process of installation. If errors occur, they will be recorded in those log-files.
You should open up the log file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers. The file is called something like Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium 1.0.log.gz (depending on your install type).
Pay attention to the file extension: it should be .log.gz and not just .log
To open it you should have a program like Winzip or Winrar, because it's an archive file containing a text file.
Search in the text file for the error message. Search for "Error ".
In my case it was "Error 1401.Could not create key \Software\Classes\.svg\OpenWithList\Illustrator.exe. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
Now follow these steps:
1. Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator in Windows XP.
2. On the Windows TaskBar, choose Start, Run, type "regedit" (without quotes), and click OK.
3. Navigate to the following key that was of your error message (in my case it is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.svg\OpenWithList)
4. Right-click "OpenWithList" and choose Permissions.
5. Make sure your user name displays under "Group or user names."
NOTE: In the Windows XP Pro edition, the user name displays next to the word, Administrators.
In the Windows XP Home edition. the user name may display without the word, Administrator.
If you are not sure whether or not you are logged in as an Administrator, you can verify user rights in the Control Panel, User Accounts.
6. Verify that "System" also displays under "Group and User Names."
If the System name is not there, add it as follows:
7. In the Permissions for OpenWithList dialog box, click Add.
8. Type "System" (without quotes) in "Enter the object names to select" and click OK.
9. In "Permissions for System," make sure "Full control" and "Read" are set to "Allow."
10. Click OK, exit the Registry, and proceed with the install.
Read the tech note as well: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402035&sliceId=1
My problem was solved this way. Good luck!

I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion. Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
Installer database is corrupted
Update pending to your operating system
Improper permissions set for the Media.db
The installation log file should provide additional insight into the exact error you are experiencing. Please make sure to use the find command to look for the words 'ERROR' and 'FATAL' to locate the relevant error messages.

Cannot install CS3 on my new computer

hi, i cannot install CS3 on my new computer due to the fact that i did not deactivate is on my old laptop. to which i dont have acces any more.. can anyone help finding a solution?

Have you tried installing it or are you just assuming you cannot. You are normally allowed to install and activate on two machines.
You will need to contact Adobe support thru chat in order to get assistance with deactivating the inaccessible installation. For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

MAC Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3

Model Name:iMac / Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo / Memory:4 GB
When I installed Illustrator CS3 at the first time, I didn't complete it and closed it. While I installed it again, it said "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3". I was be stopped on this step, so I deleted the Illustrator CS3 from Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers without clicking it to uninstall. And I deleted other Illustrator CS3 files. After that, I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS3 again, but it kept to say "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3".
I cannot find any Illustrator in my MAC. What is wrong? How can I install Illustrator again? Should I format the computer and install all the applications again?

On the Adobe site probably under support do a search for Adobe CS 3 Clean Up Script.
Before running the script read the instructions al the instructions first, do not assume you understand from reading the first sentence. There are some files that are not so obvious that are necessary for activation and they are probably still around but they can only be removed by the script.
Next time you will have to read the instructions.
The only other ways around this is the do an archival reinstall of your system or if that does not work a complete reinstall of your system. Running the script is the easier and better way to do this but you must read the instructions completely first.

Cannot install ps CS3

base problem: Cannot install Photoshop CS3, it keeps asking for Illustrator CS4 disc.
Story:
I purchased photoshop cs3 a while back. Upgraded to a better computer and purchased Illustrator CS4. I installed illustrator CS4 BEFORE installing Photoshop CS3 on the new machine. When I went to install PS CS3, it asked for the IllCS4 disc. I put it in, and nothing. Round and round. asking for the PS CS3 disc, then the Ill CS4 disc etc...
Read the forums, found a thread about uninstalling Ill CS4 then trying PS CS3. I did that. I used the WinCS4CleanUpDatabaseUtility, and used the Windows install clean up utility as well.
However, after all this, when i try to install PS CS3, it continues to ask me for the Ill CS4 disc.
Can anyone please assist.
thank you

Please check, if you really deleted all Adobe apps (including Adobe Reader etc.) and the caps.db is deleted. it can be found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps. It records any installs/uninstalls, so if it#s still there, it would still have info on previous CS4 stuff which may interfere with getting CS3 on the system.
