CS3 Web Standard Installation Nightmare

I just had to purchase a new computer (my old one was dying) and I've had nothing but NIGHTMARES trying to install just about anything. I just finished spending THREE HOURS installing Acrobat Pro and and am now trying to install Adobe CS3 Web Edition with absolutely no success. I am able to get to the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard Installer but almost as soon as I click on the "Next" key to install the software, the CS Installer comes to a grinding halt, the program hangs and refuses to respond - no error messages of anything else that might be useful. What is the problem? I REALLY need to get CS3 Web Standard on my machine ASAP.
Thanks for your help.

Which OS?
What are your computer specs?
Are you installing from a DVD or a downloaded file?

  • CS3 Web Standard Installer?

    Hey guys,
    I recently had my CS3 Web Standard disk get ruined and I'm kind of in a jam. I still have my serial key but Adobe is no longer supporting either DVD delivery or downloading it from their website.
    Does anyone know where I could find a trial installer? This way I could just enter my serial key in after downloading it.
    I'm completely stumped otherwise and can't afford CS4. =(

    Technolux - I am also looking for Adobe CS3 Web Standard for Windows.  Your blog has a link to Web Premium, but none to web standard.  Do you happen to have a link to CS3 Web Standard?  A user posted the link in a comment, but the link is incorrectly labeled and is NOT CS3 Web Standard, but CS3 Design Standard.

  • Is CS3 Web Standard included as part of FrameMaker 10?

    I installed FrameMaker 10 on my PC, and apparently Adobe's CS3 Web Standard was included in that installation.  Is Creative Suite 3 Web Standard a necessary component of FrameMaker, or can I remove it from my PC and still use FrameMaker 10 without a problem?  

    With a nod toward the movie Fargo, I'm not so sure I agree 100% with your policework, there, Lou"... (see the 3:00 mark of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n3k0gqtYgM)
    FrameMaker 10 installs with, well, FrameMaker 10. There's a native capacity to create PDF, ExtendScript, probably some version of the Bridge product, but a distinct lack of other components (except, maybe, Version Cue?).
    You can most certainly remove the Web Standard install, if you don't need the apps in the included screenshot!

  • CS3 Web Standard to CS4 Design Premium

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems trying to install CS3 Web Standard and CS4 Design Premium.
    I bought CS 3 Web Standard Upgrade Version and CS4 Design Premium Upgrade, to update my old CS2 Standard.
    My question is:
    Can I install CS4 Upgrade If I don't have CS3 Upgrade on my computer?
    I have both serial numbers with CD's and everything.
    I asked this question to the person I bought it from and he's email answer was:
    "Heres a quick guide for the installation:
    You don't have to install Web Standard in order to install CS4.
    The installation starts with inserting the first CD of CS4 upgrade.
    Installation process will begin and installer will prompt for password.
    Enter the CS4 password. The installer will accept it and recognize that you have upgrade , and will ask the previous (CS3) serial number.
    Enter the CS3 Web Standard serial number and installer will continue normally.
    that's all"
    Does that makes sense to you?
    I haven't open the CS4 box yet, since I want to make sure is going to work.
    Thanks for your answers.
    regards,
    Alex

    I don't think you can use the same package to upgrade both programs. Once, you have upgraded the package of CS 3, you no longer have the rights to it. But you may be able to use CS 4 Web to purchase CS 4 Design (but I don't know call customer service). It might be cheaper to purchase the Master Collection upgrade again call Customer Service, they always want to help someone that wants to buy an Adobe product

  • Problems installing Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' after a clean install of Windows 8

    When trying to re-install Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' Autoplay does not initiate install of application.

    Well, does it launch manually? Win 8 suppresses auto-starts by default for "risky" files like installers...

  • Upgrading from CS3 Web Standard to CS4 Web Premium problems

    So I got my CS4 Web Premium upgrade box in the mail yesterday.  I'll be starting a big project in about a week or so and figured I'd do the install and familiarize myself with the enhancements and play with PS, as it has been a while.  Anyway, I drop the first of the install disks into my XP Pro SP3 laptop and off I go.  I enter the serial number for the CS4 which checks good.  Hit next at which point it looks for a previous install of a CS product and does not find one.  No problem, I think to myself, as there is a space to enter the previous version's serial number.  Enter the serial for the previous version (CS3 Web Standard) which results in a no go in resolving the number.  The tool suggests I go back and install the trial version and then deal with the issue with Adobe support.  Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so could you please share your experiences and/or resolution path?

    I did my homework on this one and purchased the "Upgrade from Creative Suite 3.x" offering.  The CS3 works like a champ.  When I attempt to do the install of CS4 I get the error message when I enter the CS3 serial number.  Any thoughts, guidance or suggestions are welcomed.  I'm resistant to going the trial version route for fear that I'll not get resolution in time and have my project impacted.  I can probably get by with Fireworks, but PS is preferred and the driving reason for the upgrade.  Thanks!

  • I have CS3 web standard. What is the best way to add Photoshop CS 3/CS4

    CS3 web standard works perfect for me. I just misses Photoshop. Perhaps you know the best way to solve this problem.
    Because if I buy an upgrade, it'll be a Studio.
    Second qustion: What does a Studio mean and where can I buy a studio?
    Thanks!

    I thought Web Standard included Photoshop. In any event, you can't just upgrade one component of a suite you need to upgrade the entire thing.
    Even if you just wanted Photoshop CS5 you'd have to buy a full license for $699. PS Extended will run you $999.
    Upgrading to CS5 Web Premium (there is no standard) will cost you $795 http://amzn.to/92gG02.
    Before you go that route, however, you may want to consider Design Premium for $780: http://amzn.to/8XRD7M
    I have an article on my website explaining why I think it's the best choice: http://www.theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml

  • CS3 Web Standard SE. Can't edit Flash buttons

    I have an issue where I am unable to edit Flash buttons or
    Flash text that have been created in DW CS3.
    I am using CS4 Web Standard SE. A colleague of mine is using
    the same software and also unable to edit these.
    Until now I thought it was maybe a trial issue but have today
    activated the software. But the issue remains.
    Regards
    Dave

    > Until now I thought it was maybe a trial issue but have

    It's not a Trial issue. It's a conscious design decision by
    Adobe announced
    in Aug 07.
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402489
    Flash buttons and Flash text have always been ill conceived
    features for
    webpages.
    Adobe recognised this by dropping them from DW CS4.
    If you still want to keep them and edit them, use DW CS3.
    However, consider using CSS styled buttons instead.

  • Adobe CS3 Web Standard

    Our company purchased this product in 2008. We don't have the budget to upgrade at this time - but the installation DVD has become unreadable (Application Data DVD for Windows). I have the receipt /Invoice from CDW and a License key. Is there any way that I could download CS3 from the Adobe FTP Site (I'm on hold for now with you guys - estimated hold time 1 hour.....)
    I appreciate any help you could give me. 
    Angela

    I have never seen an older version available for download on the Adobe website once a new version has been released.  You may find another copy rather cheaply on ebay since it is two generations old.

  • CS4 web standard on pc, now using macbook.

    I have CS3 web standard and CS4 web standard upgrade. Both are boxed version and have serial numbers for PC. I'm now on a macbook pro. Could I get help on how to install the CS4 web standard suite on my macbook? Not sure if I can just Download CS4 for mac and use the serial number on the box. Problem is I can't even find the download for CS4 web standard. I see CS4 web premium, but not standard?

    As far as I know, a Win number will not work with a Mac version

  • From Dreamweaver 3.0 to CS 3 Web Standard

    Hi All,
    I hope that you can help me!
    I have Dreamweaver 3.0 (full version, not an upgrade) and bought CS Web Standard Edition Upgrade (includes: Dreamweaver CS 3, Flash CS3, Fireworks CS3 Contribute CS3).
    I'm tryin to install this upgrade and it takes me to "Upgrade Check". On upgrade check it says to select the software that I own, but the problem is I don't own any of the listed softwares.
    What can I do to install it?
    Here are the listed softwares:
    Dreamweaver MX
    Dreamweaver MX 2004
    Dreamweaver CS3
    Flash MX Profesional 2004
    Flash Profesional 8
    Flash CS3 Profesional
    Flash MX
    Flash MX 2004
    Flash Basic 8
    Thanks for your help,
    Alex

    I also have Macromedia Studio MX, which includes Dreamweaver MX and Flash MX.
    OK, new information.
    I'm still having problems....
    Can you tell us more? The more specific detail you offer. the more help and suggestions you will get.
    Are you trying to upgrade from Studio MX to CS3 Web Standard? or something else?
    If Studio MX is correctly installed with a valid serial number then there's nothing to prevent you from upgrading to the CS3 Web Standard suite.

  • Creative Suite 3 Web Standard

    I purchased and installed CS3 web standard in 08. I had to re-format my HD and now want to re-install CS3. During set up it will not go further due to my lack of memory, says I need 1mb I have 512mb. I had the same problem in 08 but somehow bypassed this error. Ran great on 512mb.... and suggestion as I can not remember how I got passed this...thanks in advance

    With all due respect, what’s insane is that you spent $1,000 on something and didn’t think make a backup copy and put it in a safe place.
    Try this and make sure you READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html

  • New Laptop... how to transfer Adobe Web Standard CS3

    I just bought a new Dell laptop, and I want to unstall the
    Adobe Web
    Standard CS3 from my old laptop and install it on the new.
    What's the recommended way to do this to preserve the
    installation count?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Then here's what I would do:
    1. Quit DW.
    Find this folder -
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
    Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
    CS3\Configuration\Snippets
    (these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
    Explorer > Tools >
    Folder Options to unhide them)
    This is where DW saves your custom snippets. If you don't see
    that folder,
    then it means you haven't saved any custom snippets, and can
    ignore this
    step. If you do see that folder, then copy "Snippets" onto
    some
    transportable medium.
    2. Find all the MXP files on your old computer (those are
    your extensions)
    and place them onto transportable medium.
    3. Start DW and under HELP, find Deactivate. This will reset
    your install
    count.
    4. Install DW and activate on the new computer. When you
    start DW, this
    will also create the folders in the Documents and Settings
    hierarchy.
    5. Copy the Snippets folder from the old installation into
    the analogous
    location on the new computer.
    6. Use Extension Manager on the new computer to install your
    extensions.

  • Can I use CS3 Design Standard with CS4 Web Standard?

    I have a somewhat confusing question/s.   I have CS3 Design Standard currently.  I need Dreamweaver and Flash and I'd like to do it the most cost effective way.  I'm perfectly happy with my CS3 versions of Photoshop & Illustrator and don't really want to pay for upgrading them unless I really have to.
    1.  If I purchase CS4 Web Standard, not upgrade, will that impact my ability to use my CS3 products.  (specifically, Photoshop & Illustrator)  Can you run both CS3 & CS4 concurrently?
    2.  If I upgrade from the CS3 Design Standard to CS4 Web Standard, will it delete my CS3 Photoshop & Illustrator or will it just add the CS4 applications and leave the CS3 products (that aren't included in the upgrade) alone?
    Thanks to anyone who can assist me.  I hope my questions make sense.  Any advice is appreciated!
    Rebecca
    In case it's important, I'm running OSX 10.5.8 on a MBP

    1. No and Yes. (but why would you buy the full version instead of the upgrade?)
    2. The CS4 installer doesn't touch the CS3 apps.
