CS3 reinstall problems on Windows 7 64-bit

I had cs3 installed on my desktop running windows 7 64-bit for months. Then I got a licensing error message, and reinstall message. I uninstalled everything Adobe, ran the cleanscript app. Tried reinstalling again, and Adobe Acrobat installs but all other components fail to install. Tried lots of things from other threads such as moving adobepdf.dll_64 to desktop, then renaming it. Nothing has worked. Would really appreciate some good advice. Thanks!

Please review your install logs to determine where the installation is failing. You can find details on how to review the install logs at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-install-logs-cs3.html.

Adobe CS3 installation problem in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I cannot install Adobe CS3 Production Premium in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (fresh clean install). I have tried everything, including turning off the anti-virus software. It just pops up asking if I want to allow the installer to make changes to Windows, etc and when I click yes it just closes and does nothing... Has anyone been able to get CS3 installed in Windows 7?
The only reason I have a fresh install is because my Ultra CS3 that I had loaded in addition to CS4 package timed out after 30 days and I really need to get access to Ultra CS3 to finish this project. I was planning installing just one app (maybe Photoshop CS3) from the CS3 install so that I can enter my CS3 Production Premium reg info in the system so tat Ultra CS3 will work. I can just start over and do another 30 days with the Ultra in DEMO mode (it does not tell you it's running in demo mode by the way!) and finish this project, but I was looking for a more permanent solution. Once I put CS4 back on, the CS3 package installed over it...
Does anyone knw what to do in this situation? i.e. Could I install it into a Windows XP Pro 32-bit edition and perform and UPGRADE to Windows 7?
Has anyone else ran into this inability to install CS3 in Windows 7? I am running the CS3 install from the Adobe folder on the desktop that it maes when you run the files downloaded from Adobe.com - I get nothing. The task manager shows something open for a split second and then closes right away?! This is very frustrating. I have even run the CS3 clean script just in case. Any help would be appreciated!

i had issues installing cs4 products, my reponse to others with cs4 issues may help you:
i see 216 others have posted questions on this issue on this forum from searching "setup.exe", including myself, so i'm just responding to the recent ones.
i recently downloaded trails of flash cs4 and web premium package cs4 (took a day to download at high speed starbuck's internet). couldnt get the setup.exe to work or the uninstaller to work. surfing tech support over next couple weeks to try various agents was useless and expensive until i finally reached someone with useful info. all the agents had foriegn accents and read from scripts and web support pages until yesterday, when i reached a guy who told me two things i'll report to various forums addressing this same issue:
1. download the "windows install clean up" program from window's website (google: windows install cleanup) to uninstall everything adobe. then go through your folders to erase any adobe remnants. this program is different from the uninstaller that doesnt work in the programs and features area of the control panel when you try to uninstall adobe products from there.
2. windows explorer 8, the newest version, DOES NOT download adobe software properly and leaves things out, causing all sorts of issues including the setup.exe program not working. download firefox browser from mozella (google: firefox) and use it for all adobe downloads. apparently the old windows explorer 7 will work, but if you already have explorer 8 installed its easiest to just use firefox.
i'm spending the next couple days downloading the 4.14 G web premium trail with firefox and will report if this works.

CS3 reinstall problem - asking for uninstalled CS4 beta

I have a PowerBook G4 with 1.5 Gb RAM running Mac OS 10.4.11. I have the CS3 Suite installed and last year downloaded a beta copy of Fireworks CS4. After using it a bit, I uninstalled Fireworks CS4 with the Adobe uninstaller.
I recently had a problem with Bridge and decided to uninstall and reinstall the software. I uninstalled Photoshop CS3 (in order to uninstall Bridge) and when I began to reinstall Photoshop, the installer ask me to insert the Fireworks CS4 disk! Since I don't have that disk, I hit cancel and the install terminated (I tried this multiple times and rebooted each time)
I then downloaded and ran Adobe's CS4 Cleanup app. It found NO CS4 apps to clean up.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Neil and Buko for your input. Here's where things stand now:
1) I uninstalled FW CS4
2) I uninstalled CS3
3) I ran Cleanup Script
4) I repaired permissions using Disk First Aid
5) I reinstalled CS3
The problems with Bridge remained (sluggish, won't display icons properly, won't show a preview image, won't operate the folder list, etc.).
So I called Adobe support. Unfortunately, because I am having problems installing CS3 and NOT CS4, support is NOT FREE. The rep was helpful though -- she pointed me to document number 331594 (Diagnosing Bridge problems) and told me to start there. I followed EVERY step . . . disable start-up scripts, reverted to original preferences, cleaned up the cache, disabled the folder windows, and the problems remain.
Guess I'll have to pay . . .
Lesson learned: don't trial Adobe software. That's when my problems began.

Premiere CS3 Reinstall Problem

I am currently running Windows XP Pro on a Matrox Axio system in which the CS3 Creative Suite was already installed for me upon purchase. As of late I've had problems with Quicktime (Premiere and After Effects no longer see it as a compatible format) and I was hoping that as a solution, I could reinstall Premiere and After Effects from the original discs.
This theory might work but when I get the disc to the Progress portion of the reinstall, it asks me to "insert CS3 Production Premium Disc 1 into drive \\prod\Adobeapps". I don't claim to be an expert but I just cannot figure out what the installer is asking me to do and I'm very frustrated. I tried a multitude of Quicktime-related fixes that didn't yield results and I was really hoping to try this particular fix to see if it works. Does anyone have experience with this error? If so, what was your method of bypassing it?
If this helps in any way, Quicktime stopped working with my system when one day Premiere couldn't get past the CompilerAIFF.prm during the initial program load. I went back a few hours on a system restore and when I got Premiere up and running again, Quicktime was no longer a viable option. I've tried totally reinstalling stand alone Quicktime (and I did use the Windows Installer Clean Up to remove iTunes and Quicktime before the reinstall) and I've tried repairing Quicktime in the Control Panel, and helped. In fact, attempting to repair Quicktime led to a "fatal error on install" and put me back where Premiere got hung up on the CompilerAIFF.prm again.
Any help I could get would be much appreciated.

ITunes not compatible with iPod Touch 4th gen (problem with Windows 64 bit)

So I've been trying for about a month or so to sync my iPod Touch to iTunes but ever since i updated it to iTunes 11 it has been saying that i need to uninstall it and install the 64 bit version. I've done that twice this week alone and its still not working, saying again that i need the 64 bit which I already have. I've ended up completely erasing previous iTunes data to see if that would help, but that just ended up being more hassle. I don't think its just my iPod, because it refuses to sync my iPad 2 manually as well.
Please help me, i'm at my wits end.

You are very perceptive - has nothing to do with your ipod, has to do with your Windows. You can try couple things.
One - reinstall itunes "apple way" and when downloading disable your anitvirus.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
please make sure that you completed not only step one, but also step two.
Then disable your antivirus and go to step three.
iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows 64 - Apple - Support
if that does not work go to thing number two.
Two - come back here with precise text of the message, see if anybody had it before.

Duplex problems in Windows 64 bit

I have two computers one with Windows 7 32 bit and the other with Window 7 64 bit. I use an HP Pro 8500 printer networked to communicate with both computers. I get onto a my financial web site and print my statements. On the Windows 7 32 system when I open the PDF to print I can get to the properties and select Duplex and it works great. On the Windows 7 64 bit system I select my statement to print the PDF but cannot select the properties button to select duplex. I can duplex other types of documents on both 32 bit and 64 bit but not the PDF's.

hi,
i have the same problem. The only way around it was to print (using pdf) using a xp/2000 machine.

MSComDlg.ICommonDialog Problem with Windows 64-bit system

Hi all!
I try to use the common Windows dialog box for saving files. For this I'm using the ActiveX-class "MSComDlg.ICommonDialog" with the propertynode input "Filter" for the file types. It's the standard "SaveAsType.vi" (somewhere in the forum).
Everything works fine on a 32-bit Windows system. But when I run the code on a 64-bit system I can not save my file with the last file-extension in the box field. I always get a error-message: "The file name is invalid!" This happens only when the last box-element is selected. All other run normal.
So for example:
If may box array is
Matlab Files (*.mat)|*.mat
Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt
Excel Files (*.xls)|*.xls
and I select to save as *.xls and write as filename "Hello" in, I get on the 64-bit machine the error:
"Hello
The file name is invalid"
When I change the order of the box array *.xls will go but the new last element will produce this error.
So, can someone help me?
Kind regards,
llpauli
P.S. I'm using Win 7 64bit with labview 9 32bit. exe tested on win7 64 bit and win xp 32 bit.

CS3 reinstall problem

Recently my laptop crashed. I bought a new and installed CS3 premium. The old laptop I could reanimate just so long to deactivate the CS3 install.
Now my CS3 keeps asking for a registration key prior to CS3. I got the CS2 running on a desktop mac, so I copied the registration key of the about box. It doesn't work. Probably the key in the about is not complete.
The install CD of CS and CS2 where lost in a move two years ago (I was happy to see CS3 installed with no hassle on the old laptop)
Is there a way to retrieve my serial-number (tried looking trough for application.xml but there was only a 'demo-key')

A warm thank you to all of you.
Got no CD, and no invoice to prove the buy prior to cs3-update. I do have an order confirmation (You're right, I also wonder why & how I managed to save that...) I registered all updates with Adobe so I keep my fingers crossed. I informed Adobe CS (Customer service that is) about my problem. Hope to hear (a good tiding) soon.
An no I'm not with a company, nor am I a company myself. I earn my living in a creative job not related to designing for print or web (laying carpets). I use Indesign CS just for fun.

Photoshop CS3 reinstall problem

I had installed cs3 on a secondary harddrive than went bad. When I
try to reinstall it's trying to repair the exsisting version that I guess some files were installed on my primary harddrive. It gives me the message of:
any help?

A Google Search turns up a lot of people recommending 3rd party uninstallers. I haven't used any of those and can't recommend one.
Adobe themselves have a variety of removal aids... Many look like they were for beta versions, but it's possible they could help you. This turns up a lot of possibilties:

TS3918 I am experiencing this problem on Windows 7 64 bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am experiencing aniTunes reinstall problem on Windows 7 64 bit. I have uninstalled the iTunes product and reinstalled 11.02 for windows 7 64 bit but can't get iTunes going again. The first error message I get is: "The file "iTunes Libirary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". The next error message I get is: "There is a problem sending the command to the program." Any suggestions on what to do next would be appreciated. ( I would have posted this in Windows area had I been given a choice.)

I believe that message can sometimes be a sign of a corrupt library file, unless of course you've tried to downgrade to an older build of iTunes. Restore it as described in this post.

CS3 Master collection installation problem on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi Guys
Please can you advise
I am encountering problems with the installation of CS3 Master Collection on Windows 7 64 bit, initially my hard drive crashed and performed a dump.
Subsequent attempts to install CS 3 has resulted in failure to install 12 components, essentially the individual software products including photoshop, encore, illustrator etc.
I have re-performed the installation several times with the same installation error.
I believe CS3 to be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit
Any thoughts, guidance on how to rectify the problem and achieve successful installation.
I do have Adobe Reader X and Flash player X already installed. I assume these should not cause an issue with the CS3 installation
Thxs in anticipation

Na, you have it all backwards. CS3 is neithe officially tested nor endorsed, certified or supported on W7. Many users still use it succsfully, but there ae no guarantees whatsoever. Furthermore using Acrobat X ma exactly be the problem due to certain PDF components being shared acoss apps and newer versions not being compatible with the old installer. Therefore removing those parts and reinstlling them later is advisable. Beyond hee's a procedure that should work:
- use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
- install CS3
- uninstall CS3 via the Add or Remove Programs system control panel
- install CS3 again
This convoluted procedure is necessary due to bugs in the installer which otherwise prevent things from working.

Entry point not found - iTunes 10.7 for Windows (64-bit) reinstall

After ignoring iTunes update prompts for about 2 years, I recently tried updating to the latest version (12.1) without success. After searching for solutions to this problem online, I decided to uninstall iTunes and try reverting back to iTunes 10.7 for Windows 64-bit (on my Windows Vista laptop).
At this point I have installed, repaired, uninstalled, reinstalled, and repaired the 10.7 version and am still unable to access iTunes. When I try to launch iTunes, I get the following error messages:
"iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point CMTimeRangeMakeFromDictionary could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll."
When I click OK, I then get:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
(As I stated above, reinstalling hasn't worked!)
In my online troubleshooting searches, I've found posts regarding entry point issues but none with "CMTimeRangeMakeFromDictionary" or "CoreMedia.dll" in them. I'm unsure what to do next (should I attempt iTunes 12.1 again?), and my biggest concern is that I will somehow lose all my music. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Entry point errors can often be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of. CoreMedia.dll is part of Apple Application Support.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Sync Problem With Windows 7 64 Bit

just purchased an iphone 4 and it won't sync properly with iTunes. When I first connected it, it stated that it could not read the contents and said I had to restore the iphone to factory settings. I did this and it still throws up the same message. It does appear as a device in iTunes with the name of the phone but only allows me to have the restore option. I have also unistalled and reinstalled iTunes with the 64 bit version of the program as I am running Windows 7 64 bit addition. Any help is welcome.

Hey all,
are you running your computer in Admin mode? Meaning can you do all the things an admin can do when logged in as you on your computeR? I have Win 7 64bit and have had not one problem syncing my Iphone 4. TRy a differetn usb spot as well. And when you first plugged in your iphone did your OS install the driver for it? That might have something to do with it as well! try running itunes in admin mode or compatibility mode Win XP. Its not the phone but something in your systems isn't reading the phone as it should. just my 2 cents.
