Cs3 safari installation error

I just made the switch to Mac (literally pulled it out of the box and turned it on this evening) after years of running CS on Windows XP. I'm trying to install CS3 Design Standard and keep getting the following error:
Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed:
Safari
Please close the application(s) listed above and click "Try Again" to continue the installation. Click Cancel to exit Setup.
Safari is not running. OS X version is 10.6.4. Safari version is 5.0.2.
Already searched this forum and the knowledge base, but couldn't come up with anything specific to this error. Any ideas? I will admit, I am not particularly proficient in Mac despite being pretty good in Windows, so no advice is too basic.
Thanks,
Lar

Are you trying to install a Mac version CS 3 under OS X.6? Or are you trying to install a Windows version of CS 3 under what Windows OS (running boot camp, parallels, fusion or some other virtual machine). If you are trying to install Mac CS 3 are you sure it is OS X.6.4 compatible? If this is your first Mac, how did you get an old copy of Mac CS 3?

Safari installer error msgs

Started out with the simple intention of upgrading Safari 3.12 to 3.23. 3.23 installer said I needed at least 10.5.6 (had 10.5.5). Installed updates thru 10.5.8.
Took my old Safari app 3.12 to the Trash. When I tried to run 3.23 installer, got message..."You cannot install Safari on this volume. This volume already has a newer version of Safari installed." (Safari 3.23 installer report) Have searched the entire HD, there is no other Safari application to be found
OK, lets go backward a little and try the 3.2Leo installer. Get message..."You cannot install Safari on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." (Safari 3.2Leo installer)
Well, let's go back to what worked. Start up the 3.12 installer and get message "You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer." (message recieved when trying to install safari 3.12)
I had previously updated Firefox to 3.014 and got a note suggeting to update Flashplayer which has to flashplayer ub 10.0.32.18. Trashed that update but still no change.
Went to trash and pulled 3.12 out and put back in applications folder. Still the same installer messges with each version of Safari I try to install.
This problem has got me buffaloed. Can't find any Safari installer issues that seem to mirror this one.
Thanks for all replies!

Used 10.5.x install disk to install original copy of Safari (3.04 I think). Tried to upgrade. Same messages. Even tried an install under SafeBoot but apparently, installs are inhibited.
Ran 10.5.8 update twice, no change. Have run permissions repair and saw following report: "ACL found but not expected in Applications". Not sure what ACL is.
Last thing...(this is really stupid)...I found that my iPod Touch 3rdGen hooked up to a USB port during the OS upgrades.

Keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5

keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5 Followed all the instructions for uninstalling and clean installing. Just wont install

Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check BOTH places and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.

Software Update, 10.6.6 installation error!!

Hi all, hope someone can help.
I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5. I upgraded to 10.6.5 recently and had problems with this. When using Software Update, it would download, log out and install only to get an error at the end saying it couldn't install, with no explanation of why. I did some investigation and it boiled down to Safari (one of the updates in the list to install along with 10.6.5) wasn't being replaced. I had to delete Safari from my applications folder before updating. I tried rebuilding permissions and even installed from the installers from the apple download page. but until I deleted Safari from my apps folder it would fail every time.
Since I assumed that it was a corrupt copy of safari and all other update went ok I assumed I had fixed the problem.
Now I'm trying to install the update of 10.6.6 via Software Update. and I'm getting the same problems. It downloads, reboots, installs then at the end says that it was not installed because of an error and promps me to restart.
I have downloaded the update and run it from the desktop and it goes through the install as follows:-
Installing
optimizing system
Moving files
installation failed.
It seems that it isn't able to replace existing files on my system with new ones therefore fails the install.
Has anyone got any ideas? I have repaired permissions with disk utility and tried repairing them while booting from the 10.6.3 system disc, still no joy
Many thanks

Worse problem here. I get the installation error then the computer attempts to reboot and I get locked at the gray background apple screen. Tried safe boot power on +SHIFT a status bar comes up and goes 3/4 away across and locks. Running permissions repair from Mac OEM disk set was no help. Had to do a time machine restore. Seems my install error is catastrophic. On the upside time machine works very well.. A bit disappointed with my Windows-esque crash

Adobe Acrobat 9 Installation Error 2?

Support:
I just purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 for my office and I'm having issues installing Acrobat 9. All other applications install, etc: Photoshop, Dreamweaver. To get ready I uninstalled all my old CS3 software and used the CS3 clean utility from Adobe. Then I searched all my files and registry and deleted all leftover files and registry entries.
I restarted and began to install my wondrous new CS4! Everything went well until the end of the installation. I got an error saying Adobe Acrobat could not be installed. It gave me the below output, basically put: "Error: Error 2". I then went to the support site and installed the Adobe Air, Adobe Support Advisor. After a quick check of the "Creative Suite Product Install" option it returned, "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.".
Adobe Installer Error Info:
"Sorry you are experiencing trouble with this installation.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional (At install, older versions get upgraded. A l'installation, les versions plus anciennes sont mises à niveau. Bei der Instalation werden ältere Versionen aktualisiert.)
Error:
Error 2."
I don't know what to do now. I desperately need Acrobat installed for my business. I have searched the support site up and down and have found no information on the issue. I did find a support issue which says, "Acrobat 9 is not installed as part of Creative Suite 4 on Windows (XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit and 2003 Server 64-bit): Adobe Acrobat 9 fails to be installed as part of Adobe Creative Suite 4 on Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 2003 Server 64-bit." However I have an x86 (32bit) system. Hell, I even tried to install the Windows KB update file and it wouldn't let me due to my system being 32bit. Link to the issue below:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407134&sliceId=1
I then also found a user who reported the infamous Error 2; however sadly he did not have the exact same issue although similar. He too ran the analyzer application and it also found no errors. He is also running a similar setup to mine (see specs below). He gets the same error when trying to install the other applications such as Illustrator, Photoshop, etc... To this day his issue has not been taken care of. Link to his issue is below:

Bob -
I know my original post was over a year ago, but unfortunately I wasn't ever able to resolve it. I worked with tech support over the phone wasting hours of both of our time trying to resolve this problem. Now when I need to use Acrobat 9 Pro, I have to access it with my laptop and then transfer my work back to my desktop computer in order to use the rest of the CS4 Suite on my desktop. The crazy thing is I'm running the exact same XP software on my laptop as I run on my desktop and Acrobat on my laptop works great. So I have no doubt that Acrobat works well with 64 bit systems on Vista and 7, but I'm not very confident that by upgrading to a new windows operating system will result with success. This issue seems so strange to me since I am able to run 50 other applications on my desktop from other software manufacturers and can successfully download new applications from any software manufacture with the exception of Acrobat. If anyone has a similar problem and can figure out a solution, please let me know.

Solution**********************************************
Support:
I have figured out the solution to the issue on my own. I usually have the print spooler service disabled on my work PC to combat intellectual property theft. However, I remembered that I once had an issue installing Adobe CS3 Master Collection (Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro). The older generation Adobe software (Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro/CS3) displayed the error that the print spooler service was not started and provided a solution. What is really strange is that the newer software (CS4) simply gives no description of an error and simply outputs "Error 2".
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro included with Adobe CS4 Master Collection will not properly install if the print spooler service is not enabled and started! After the install you can disable the print spooler service as usual, but it is necessary upon installation to have it running. In addition, Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 (Free Edition) will install and perform as usual with the print spooler service disabled. I suggest putting this information on your site for others who may experience the same issue in the future.

InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
OS: Win XP SP2
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

Hello Peter and Josh,
I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
(1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
(2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
(3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
(4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
Troubleshooting:
(1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
(2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
(3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
(4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
(5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

Fatal error during installation - Error 1603 ONLY on XP

My Dears,
while installing any CS3 or CS4 Adobe product for my friend, at ~90% of installation error comes up:
"Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation."
I am struggling to solve it for 3 days now, and of corse I have seen and tryied all things proposed in posts like this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/373577 , but still nothing helps me.
Thats list of all things that I have tryied to do:
- CleanUp fix
- Uninstalling all Adobe before fix
- Turning Internet off fix
- Turning anti-vir things off fix
- Registery fix
- Starting from CLEAN new system fix
- Changing language from US to International fix
Still nothing. Probably thats the point of problem:
Current Situation:
Got ACER ASPIRE x3200 desktop width Windows Vista (preinstalled), did clean installation of Windows XP and dumped Vista
There is no official drivers for XP, but got cracked chipset driver and official nVidia 8200 driver for XP from Internet
Got all Service Packs
100% legal
If nothing is working, maybe thats becaouse of my PC?! Installed it on my laptop with Vista 32b - WORKS (it means that installation CD is not corruptet or something). But then I have tryied to install it on another laptop with XP PRO - fail as with my PC. It seems that Windows XP Pro is not good for CS3 or CS4, BUT it did months before in my old unbranded PC.
Help! I really want to install that stuff.
Best Regards,
Westmidlander

I was only speaking very generally... This is all common sense...
Adobe and other software makers are moving on from XP in their development. Thus XP becomes more and more troublesome to use as the likelihood of problems increases.
In the case of installation, a lot of very specific things are required of an installer so that it can work on Windows 7. The User Account Control (UAC) system and other security measures such as file permissions have to be completely and properly satisfied to install software on the newer systems. Indeed, the application itself even has to work differently to be compliant - reference the recent 12.0.2 issues with loading scanner drivers for example, or the fact that Photoshop needs to put some things under C:\Users\... now that always used to be put under C:\Program Files\Adobe\...
It's not hard to imagine that Adobe isn't testing software as thoroughly on XP as they once did either. Perhaps they missed one of the quirks of XP in pursuit of getting it to install properly on Windows 7.
You're putting a new cutting edge software application on an operating system designed nearly 10 years ago (an epoch in high tech). That you don't see even more problems is a testament to Adobe's committment to support XP.

"Application Not Found" CS4 installation error

Problem: "Application Not Found" CS4 installation error
Some Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Production Premium distribution disks issue an "Application not found" error while loading Disk 2 due to an error in the Autorun.inf file.
Does your Autorun.inf for Disk 2, 3, or 4 contain
[autorun]
open=Autoplay.exe -auto
icon=\csppdvd.ico
Autorun.inf should instead only say
[autorun]
icon=\csppdvd.ico
There should not be the line
open=Autoplay.exe auto
Only Disk 1 should have this line.
On Disk 1, Adobe has a file called Autoplay.exe which starts the installation.
"open=Autoplay.exe auto" runs the Autoplay application.
Autoplay.exe is not on Disk 2, 3, or 4 so having the open line generates the error.
Since you cannot edit the DVD, the trick is to turn off autorun so Windows doesn't run Autorun.inf upon loading Disk 2. Look at the Wikipedia description of "Autorun" for details. Wikipedia describes how to disable Autorun using
Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc
You will need to do this for XP. Vista has a Control Panel which allows you to "Take no action" for "Software and games". If this does not work, use gpedit.msc instead. You will know Autorun is off if upon inserting Disk 1, no installation window appears.
Wikipedia notes that "AutoPlay is the name of a different feature in Microsoft Windows" not to be confused with Autorun starting the Autorun.inf file.
Now that Autorun is off, manually double click Autoplay.exe on Disk 1 to start the installation. Disk 2 should now load properly.
By the way, it appears you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Some Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Production Premium distribution disks had the same problem. Obviously, Adobe did not learn from their past mistake.
You may want to call Adobe to obtain replacement disks which don't have this error.

Petrula,
Can you look at the DVDs and send me the numbers you find on the inner edge? Also, any numbers on the outer DVD sleeves. This can help us to identify which sets of media are affected and possibly resolve it, or at least more specifically target solution information.
Thank you!

CS5 installation errors

Hi. I own CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9. I recently purchased a new Mac laptop and used the built-in migration tool to move all my software to the new computer. All the key CS5 applications were working fine (Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamworks, InDesign) but I got an error message for Acrobat Pro, which said...
Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop).
But I would start another component (such as Photoshop) and nothing would change. So I decided to uninstall everything and re-install it. I used the uninstaller and then the cleaner tool to get rid of everything. Then I tried to re-install. But I got installation errors, primarily...

Doing a clean OS install is really not an option. There are just too many pieces of software I'd have to re-install. But I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any thoughts?

do not migrate adobe software. properly install it using adobe installation files.

How to download latest InDesign CS3 Server Installer?

Hi there,
Anyone can help me point to the right direction, how to download the latest InDesign CS3 Server Installer (without the error).?
been looking for couple of days in this adobe site, but nothing found.
Thank you.
Regards
Jimmy Harjadi

I would guess you'll need to contact customer service. CS3 products are no longer posted as demo downloads. InDesign server is a licensed product, and presumably if you bought the license you were given media or a link at that time. If you've lost that, Customer service would be th only ones who can help.

CS3 AE Installation Nightmare

I am at the end of my rope with Adobe products and Adobe's scripted and outsourced "technical support." I have spent days in the last couple of months trying to get Adobe software to run. Recently I waiting 1.5 hours on a phone to have a guy in India tell me that I would have to go up a grade in paid support to get the answer to my question!!!!
Ridiculous.
The problem now is my home computer...I had to have the C disc wiped because I picked up a malware...while trying to download a DVD writing utility to do what my computer at work would not do: write to DVD with Encore.
The problem now is that when I try start CS3 AE an error message comes up saying that AE cannot load AERes1.dll I have searched for a solution and the only one I can find is, that's right, wipe your C drive and reinstall.
Some details:
Running XP with latest updates Two gigs ram. Have the entire CS3 suite. GEForce 7800GT graphics card. Also have Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS4.
When I try to reinstall AE, the computer asks me to reinstall Fireworks CS4 which has not been uninstalled. I put the disc in and it tells me to put the CS3 installation disc. I installed Quicktime before I noticed the problem. I uninstalled Quicktime and attempted to install AE. No luck.
I have an important video to be done in less than two weeks. Can anyone help...Adobe does not seem to care.

I'll give the same answer here that I gave on the other forum where you asked this:
> Adobe does not seem to care.
That's a pretty broad statement.
I'm Adobe, and I care.
Problems can occur when you install and activate an earlier version (like CS3) after a later version (like CS4). You say that you "wiped" your C drive, but there may still be some lingering traces of the previous activations on your disk. That would potentially cause problems when you re-installed the Adobe software.
In order to really start from a clean state, you need to run the "clean scripts".
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
Try uninstalling your Adobe software, running these utilities, and then reinstalling. Re-install the CS3 software before reinstalling the CS4 software.
Normally, I wouldn't jump straight to recommending uninstalling and reinstalling, but it seems that you're in the process of rebuilding this system after a "wipe" anyway.
Good luck. Let us know if you need any more help.
