Cs3 install/repair/reinstall, install component failed-----SOLUTION!!!

Ok, after searching the internet for solutions on how to install/reinstall/repair CS3, I found I was not satisfied with anyone's answers.
Well, I've finally got it!
Do what adobe tells you---run that script (CS3clean).
However, after running the script, you will notice that the installation will still fail. So to get around that, go into your folders and delete any folder that says Adobe. Check your hidden folders too!
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData
check in local, roaming, and locallow
There are adobe folders in I think all those locations. Go to Add/Remove Programs, too and delete anything adobe (I took no chances because installing takes forever, and it's frustrating to see the "component failed to install" message).
Also as a precaution, I turned off my firewall.
That did it for me!!! Good luck, and I hope this helps.

Adobe CS3 install/Repair Issue

Hi there,
One of our clients had an issue with Adobe CS3. When they went to save an Adobe document that they adjusted, they got a message stating that a seriouse error had occured and that they would need to reinstall the product.
We have attempted now to do a repair - which failed - it refused to see the installation media.
The next attempt was a complete uninstall/reinstall
The uninstall worked beautifully
The reinstall... Not so much. The reinstall installed everything EXCEPT Adobe Writer/pdf.
We have tried several times to do this. Adobe CS3 is no longer avaialbale for download from the licensing portal so I can't verify if our installation media is at fault or not.
Assistance with this is most appreciated, as this is an issue - for the cleint - of a high magnitude.
Regards,
Carlo Piva.

To start off – Adobe Writer – or Adobe Standard as part of the CS3 bundle.
I had installed it from the local Administrator Account
The software was copied directly to the clients PC.
It was installed on a Windows XP machine – SP3 – 32bit. Nothing fancy.
First initial attempt to fix the problem was a repair of all components – Failed – couldn’t see the installation media for some reason.
Second attempt we uninstalled everything dealing with CS3. Rebooted. Reinstalled. No error messages. All went through and said it completed. However Adobe Writer was not present on the system.
Third attempt – Uninstalled everything dealing with CS3. Used the Adobe CS5 cleanup tool from the Adobe website. Purged the folder that CS3 was installed in. Rebooted. Reinstalled. Same result that happened in second attempt.
Contacted Adobe support. He informed me to contact the forums as this product is old. I had previously attempted to get the office manager of that branch to agree to an upgrade to CS5, but they did not want to at this time. Contacted Forums.
The logs are on the Client’s machine. I don’t have access to it.
I discovered we had upgraded a few people from Adobe 8 Standard (standalone package) to Adobe X. Because of this, I have a few spare licenses for Adobe 8. As that was all she apparently needed (not sure who’s idea it was to give her Adobe CS3 if all she ever used was Adobe Writer), I removed any traces of Adobe CS3 and installed Adobe Writer 8 on her system.
Consider this issue resolved.

After install, iTunes message "iTune component is not install. please repair or install again (-45075)

Message after install: A required iTune component is not installed, Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-45075) Has anyone seen this?

Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Try running the cleanup utility again. There are like 3 levels of cleaining if I remember right.
Also after running the cleanup utility run this if you didn't before:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Then download and install this free cleaner. It will clean up all remaining crapola left on your computer. Run the drive cleaner and also the registry cleaner.
http://www.ccleaner.com/
After that you did not say what OS you have. If you have Vista SP2 or Windows 7 you do not need this next download. If you do need this download it is a newer windows installer 4.5 that takes care of some install problems with software. download if need be and install.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f 9f4&displaylang=en
If you have Adobe reader installed remove it.
After you get the computer cleaned out do a defrag.
Go to Start and type in services and click on services. What you want to do is look for windows install entry, look at the startup type, right click on manual, choose properties, change manual to Start, hit apply, then start the service (look for the start button), hit apply if need be, then hit ok to close out, then close the services window.
Now go start and type in msconfig and click on msconfig. Go to the startup tab and look for any Adone product that is checked and uncheck it. If nothing is unchanged then there is no need to reboot.
Ensure any anti-virus is off and windows defender is turned off.
Get your disk and insert it but don't install. Go to computer and right click on it. Choose explore and then look for the PS .exe file. you want to right click on this and choose run as admin.
Then the install screen will pop up. I am not sure when it will ask for the key so have it ready. If the key is good then it will let you know.
When ready to install you want to do a custom install. Install only on C drive. In the install options only install PS CS3 and Bridge. Then install. I don't know how long it will take.
After install reboot the computer. After reboot click on CS3 to least start it up. Shut it back down and do another defrag. Now update your software to 10.0.1. After the download is complete ensure CS3 and bridge are shut down otherwise the software will not update. After that, it is up to you, but I would reboot and do another defrag (Some other posters might think differently: too bad....lol).

Thank you Bturko in the future only migrate/copy/transfer your documents and settings. Adobe applications especially are not designed to be transferred from one computer to another. It is possible to recover however. I would recommend the following steps:
Run the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
Run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files they can be downloaded at Download CS3 products.
Run the installer and reinstall Creative Suite 3.

ITunes installation for 11.1.4 failed, tried multiple other ways to install/repair...still not working (cannot open)

I got an error message after trying to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. I have tried installing via Apple Download (originally did this and it didn't work either of the times I tried), manually tried installing/repairing (gave error message that it couldn't open when it finished), from the apple site (tried repairing and gave exact same error message as manual update), and uninstalled and then reinstalled (took a long time on installing the startup section of the reparing...pretty sure that's where the error is in the update) followed with a restart of my computer...still same error message. If anyone knows how to fix this or if Apple could fix this, that would be great. Error messages displayed:

I updated tonight and ran into two very similar errors.
The first error is your same 127 error and the other error looks like this -
I'm on Windows 8.1
As for what I did, I uninstalled then reinstalled. Same thing. Then I uninstalled everything Apple related on my PC then reinstalled Quicktime then iTunes. Same thing. Then I uninstalled everyting Apple related again then installed iTunes. Same thing.
Hopefully it will be patched soon.

Since installing CS6, Acrobat Pro X fails I had to reinstall it a few times, now doesn't work

Since installing CS6, Acrobat Pro X failed a few times. I had to reinstall it a few times, now doesn't work at all even after installing again.

Hi there
Thank you for your reply.
When I click on the link for the cleaner however, before I can download the
file, it gives me this message:
"Important - This tool is not for use with any creative suite products
including suites that contain Acrobat. It can only be used with standalone
versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader"
Adobe X Pro forms part of my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard?
Please advise.
Thanks

SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP component failed to reinstall

Hi,
I have a problem with SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP component on my SCCM SQL server. The SQL server is running on Windows Server 2003 x64 SP2 and site is in Native mode running SCCM SP1 R2 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 (separate servers)

We are running Server 2008 R2 with SCCM 2007 SP2 R2 and I was also worried about the differnet numbers from the solutions I was finding. I was having the same issue since installation with the sitecomp log showing:
"Component file list item in the install map for component SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP does not contain srvboot.exe"
We worked out that numbers are not the file version but the file size in bytes (My x86 smssqlbkup.exe was like yours 765280).
The file size of our srvboot.exe was 333,664 bytes, thus I added the line:
    FILE <srvboot.exe><0><333664>
We restarted Component Manager and finally got a successfull install of the SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP component.
For reference here is the part from our install.map
BEGIN_COMPONENT_FILELIST
    <SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP>
    <1193>
    BEGIN_DIRECTORY
        <bin\i386>

CS3 WILL NOT REINSTALL, COMPONENTS FAILED

Hi Bob or anyone else who can help,
I have been reading these forums for hours and nothing seems to be working for me. I had originally tried to install a plug in for my photoshop. I have Creative Suite Design Premium CS3 and I downloaded this plugin. Ever since then once I opened the photoshop or any other CS3 Program it would say something about my license could not do... etc. etc. So it basically told me to uninstall and reinstall. So I did that, and now it will install adobe acrobat professional 8 but will not install the rest of my suite it says component failed to install with X's next to all the products I need! I have tried reinstalling it in many different ways, restarting, doing it one at a time. I even tried the WinCleanupCS5 thing and nothing seems to be doing the trick. You pay 400 for a student version 1.5 years ago and now they want you to pay another 400! I hope somebody has the answer. I have uninstalled the plugin and everything. I do not know what to do!!! I have Windows Vista Home, I hope somebody has the answer to my specific problem. If it is my disc in general because it is scratched can anyone help with what to do from there?? I appreciate any help!!

It could well be that you are trying to install CS3 on top of CS4 common files -- chronological installations are a safer route.
It could also be that you are simply having trouble with the installer. the CS3 installers were as bad as Adobe ever released. Personally, I would uninstall CS4 and then run the CS5 cleanup tool again. I would also run the Flash Player uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html. Run MSConfig to reboot with only the barrest of essential services and startups enabled -- no anitivirus, firewalls, iTunes, messengers, browser toolbars, etc., all of which have been implicated in problems with CS3 installations.
Reboot, reinstall CS3, then CS4, then reset MSConfig for normal boot.

HI ..
The only way to reinstall OS X on a Mac already running v10.9 is to use OS X Recovery.
Starrtup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and reinstall OS X.

" software for this i phone is not installed correctly. reinstall iTunes"

Hi guys
I managed to get iTunes to open but now I receive a warning message "software for this i phone is not installed correctly. reinstall iTunes", when connecting my iphone and ipad as well... reinstalling itunes does not solve the problem.
I tried removing the latest itunes from my registry and installing the previous version that worked, hence the problem persist.
I'm sure i'm not the only victim out there.
Pls guys, any advise on how do i fix this problem.
Thanx

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
