CS3 will not install on Leopard

Please see my previous thread of the disaster that is installing CS3 on Leopard 10.5.4 If anyone is still out there that has followed my 5 days of agony--I was finally sent a new dvd. SAME FAILED INSTALLATION MESSAGE, which is "Component Installation Failed". Is anyone running CS3 on 10.5.4? Here is the last part of the log--the only part that showed BUG or ERROR:

Anyone out there that can understand this?

If anyone is still following this, the advice to install Tiger was a complete and total disaster. As far as my experience is going, NEVER revert to an older system. My mail, documents, everything is a complete mess, has to be hand "carried" to the new/old system, apps don't work because they are not the correct version for the new/old system, etc. "Menu/Archive" Mail in my clone startup disk (leopard) doesn't work, so I can't get my mail to Tiger. I wish I had never heard of Adobe Photoshop Upgrade.

  • Bridge CS3 will not install

    My Bridge CS3 will not install on my new Intel duo core iMac.  It worked on my earlier iMac, but when PhotoshopCS3 was moved and installed on the new one, Bridge was nowhere to be seen.  I have repaired permisisons, reinstalled PS CS3, and looked for Internet advice.
    I would really like to continue to have the Bridge in the CS3. 
    Am I  going to have to rely on my new Lightroom Developer for its Camera RAW functions and for renaming my files?  I liked the Bridge RAW converter very much.  The old Bridge is still on my machine, but its renaming functions don't suit me at all,  and for some reason it is refusing to open my non-RAW files.

    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.  I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.  This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations.
    Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.  Note that this suggestion begins with "I still advocate…", not "Apple recommends…".
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help.  Try it anyway, though.
        ====       Additionally,  if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.  If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388  Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large. Also, from:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE: There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction.  The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.    Other, more reliable reports indicate that this seems to have been fixed in the current version of Leopard.   
    In any event, Repairing Permissions and/or running the Cron Scripts cannot hurt.
    If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.  It can't hurt either, and it often improves stability and performance.

  • CS3 will not install on Windows 7, 64-bit. No error message. Just stops installing.

    CS3 will not install on Windows 7, 64-bit. No error message. Just stops installing. This is a brand new machine. This is one of the first things I'm installing on it. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The disks are fine. I have the programs installed on my two XP machines. When I run the disk, I get the window pop up that says "Initializing Installation for Adobe Creative Suite 3". Then the disk stops spinning and nothing else happens. No error message. Nothing else happens. I'm baffled. I have searched several discussion boards and cannot find anybody that has had a similar install issue like this.

    Old_Timer I would recommend reviewing your install logs to determine the exact error message.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the logs at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-install-logs-cs3.html.

  • Will not install with Leopard

    I just migrated from an older iMac G4 to a newer iMac 2GHz
    Intel Core Duo. To my chagrin I then discovered that Director MX
    2004 would not work on an Intel machine. So... I upgraded to
    Director 11. After all the hassle of proving (once again) that I am
    an academic, I received the confirmation and link so that I could
    download and install the new version. Alas...! When I run the
    installer, it says: "This software cannot be installed because the
    file system of the OS volume is not supported." WHAT? Director 11
    won't install on Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard), but it will on Win-doze
    Vista???
    HELP! I need Director! It is the prime piece of software that
    I use to create programs for my classes!

    SujaiS: I found the problem! My hard disk was formatted
    "journaled (case-sensitive)". After searching through lots of
    discussions and support files, I learned that apparently several
    Adobe applications will not run with that format.
    I therefore had to boot from my Leopard install disk, erase
    and reformat the hard disk as only "journaled' (NOT
    "case-sensitive"), reinstall Leopard, then restore the contents of
    the hard drive from my Time Machine backup. I have since managed to
    install Director 11 just fine. It has shown some odd bugs, however.
    For example, a cast member with text (using an embedded font) now
    shows an exclamation mark on a following line... but there IS no
    exclamation mark to delete, let alone a following line! Weird! I
    tried changing to another embedded font, and the program crashed.
    Hmmmm.
    At any rate, I would suggest that Adobe needs to specify for
    Director 11, under Mac system requirements, that "case-sensitive"
    formatted hard disks will NOT work. That is a simple warning to
    include. Adobe is obviously aware of that incompatibility, since it
    mentions it under forums and technical issues for other programs.
    Shouldn't they list that system requirement from the get-go?
    Thanks for your suggestions!

  • Acrobat CS3 will not install in Windows 7

    I have a new computer and just installed Windows 7 (32 bit). I needed to install CS2 to complete some legacy projects and then installed CS3. Every component installed fine except Acrobat. I have uninstalled, deactivated both CS2 and CS3...and then installed CS3. No luck. I can reinstall CS2 (including Acrobat) with no problems...but Acrobat CS3 refuses to install. There have been many postings here saying that the Acrobat 8.1 update is needed, but that only works if Acrobat 8 is installed. I can't get that far.

    Yeah, I think it falls into the same category of problems as "not a valid win32 application", "invalid signature", and "unknown publisher" messages ... usually all of which relate to installers getting damaged on the download.
    At any rate, I'm glad you got things working again.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Will Not Install PLEASE HELP TRIED EVERYTHING

    I downloaded from Adobe the Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial directly from Adobe. (BTW I am on Vista 32)
    The first time I tried installing, ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe successfully unpacked, I successfully transitioned to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 installation, and it appeared to install. After 30 minutes or so, the installer finished and simply said that shared components had installed but the Photoshop CS3 Component install failed.
    I always got in the log Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18 e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information
    This, I know, is everyones typical problem.
    I turned off firewall and antivirus.
    I uninstalled ALL Adobe and Macromedia programs, including Flash and Acrobat.
    I used Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove them.
    I downloaded the CS3 Clear from Adobe and cleared at levels 1, 2, and 3.
    I created the Administrator account on my computer and tried everything on the Administrator account.
    I tried installing Photoshop CS3 with compatibility mode for XP SP2.
    I tried:
    1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
    Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
    Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
    2. In the command prompt, type the command below
    fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
    3. Reboot the machine
    I tried:
    Get command prompt up. It has to be run with admin rights so save yourself some time and run it this way.........Start/programs/accessories/.....right click command prompt and click run as administrator.
    Then paste these commands in 1 after the other
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll (THEN PRESS ENTER)
    and
    regsvr32 jscript.dll (AGAIN PRESS ENTER)
    I even tried installing in Safe Mode but the CS3 setup would not initialize.
    I do not know what else to do. I have CS2 which I will use, but I was really hoping to move to CS3 which is supposed to be better and faster. Does anyone know anything else to do? I am not a computer noob but I am not about to reinstall Vista. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

    I was in the same predicament and after spend many hours over several days trying a multitude of things I finally found an easy fix (below):
    ========================================
    Assuming you have Internet Explorer 7 go to:
    Tools/Internet option/Advanced
    Click the Reset dialog box. This will bring IE7 back to its default settings. You should reboot your computer. After logging back into Windows load IE and let it take you though its initial setup. When you are done close IE and install Photoshop.. This worked for me,,, hopefully it will work for you!

  • Photoshop CS3 will not install at all

    I have been using CS for years with no problems. I just UNinstalled CS in order to install CS3, full version not an upgrade, and after the install screen appears and I click install the "initiallizing CS3" appears and then Nothing Happens, absolutely nothing happens. Nothing loads, no prompts appear, Nothing. What did'nt happen? I am running XP 2 on Athlon dual core 5200+ 2Gig ram 250 gig disk. All other Adobe programs are still OK. Any help?

    <begin soapbox mode>
    Microsoft made a HORRIBLE design decision, way back with the very first version of Windoze, when they created a Registry file that was open to every program installed, or UNinstalled, on the computer
    Over time, it is very common for the Registry to become so corrupted with bad or incomplete installs or UNinstalls, that no amount of tweaking will fix the problem
    The only solution, as RB found, is to wipe the hard drive and install everything fresh
    That HORRIBLE (this is, of course, only my opinion) design desision has cause more problems than anything else

  • Despite having all the correct serial #'s CS3 will not install on new Imac

    Hi,
    Please Help.
    I am trying to install CS3 on my new iMac 27 running 10.62.
    First I just put in the CS3 disk, and when it came time for the full version number of
    CS(full version). It would not accept it. Then I tried the serial number from my copy of
    PS 7 (Full version), it would not accept that. Then I copied my copy of CS to the application folder
    on the new machine and tried to install CS3 again. No go.
    It could not detect the copy. Am I doing something incorrect?
    I checked and rechecked the serial numbers, they are correct.

    Bob, Thanks . This is what happened. I pulled my serial number from the start page of PS7, except it was an update 7.01 and I didn't notice. Anyway I pilled the disk and got the number off it. It installed fine.

  • Adobe CS3 - Will Not Install

    I just bought Adobe CS3 today but when I click on the install
    file, it does nothing. I have searched the web for help, but the
    one or two solutions I did manage to find seem far beyond me. I am
    on Windows Vista. Anyone have any solutions? Any responses would be
    greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    <start sarcasm> Hey, consider yourself lucky! At least
    you can SEE the installation file! </end sarcasm>
    Seriously, I am now trying to install a licensed boxed
    version of Contribute CS3 on a second computer, and the computer
    can't even read the CD in the CD-ROM drive! The computer acts like
    there is no CD in the drive at all. In Windows Explorer, I get the
    dreaded "insert CD in the drive" message when I try to view the
    contents of the CD.
    I only tried to manually install the program because the
    AutoPlay didn't work. Other than finding another computer whose
    CD-ROM drive could read the installation CD, I can find no
    solution. And THAT'S not a solution, foks.
    My idea was to download / install the trial version, then
    activate it with the purchased serial number.
    I shouldn't have to do that! This is so bogus... I have been
    waiting for my download link for nearly an hour.
    Adobe, what are you going to do about this installation
    problem?? Can we get our money back?

  • Cs3 will not install

    Thanks to Ned Murphy's advice I have been able to download CS3 Design Standard from site. However I have been unable to install the software.
    I'm installing on MAC and the original software is on the hard drive (transferred from my old and damaged MAC).
    I have closed all applications but still no luck.
    This message is generated about five seconds after a window appears indicating the installation is starting.
    Setup Error
    Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
    Any advice appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Mylenium,
    Your advice was crucial for the fix. I used the clean-up tool but did not work at first.
    I could not find caps.db.
    I restarted the system and ran clean-up again.
    The CS3 installation was successful after this.
    Thanks a lot for the advice. Its taken a whole day but I finally have CS3 back up and running.

  • Encore CS3 will not install

    Hello
    I've tried installing to XP32, XP64, Vista 32 & 64 and the new Windows7 32&64  with the same result each time... (encore failed to install)
    The real kicker is that It installed for me before on this machine:
    4G Ram; quad core 9000 series; no over clockin; Nvidia 250 (but tried others) I also replaced every thing... ram, cpu, motherboard, powersupply,
    hard drives..... ect. one at a time then tried to re_install encore each time.
    so basicly it has cost me an additional $2,000.00 + 20-30 hr. of time.
    As you could imagine I am quite confused...........
    Can any body HELP???????
    Thanks

    These are very general instructions for installation of most Adobe programs, and none might be specific to your exact situation.
    1.) if it's a downloaded installation file, make sure to Extract that archived file with the FULL folder structure intact
    2.) turn OFF all anti-virus, pop-up blocking and spy sweeping programs
    3.) turn OFF all firewalls, etc.
    4.) run as a full Administrator
    5.) install to the C:\. The exact folder location can be changed from the default
    Do not know if any of these will help, but do check that you have fulfilled each.
    Good luck, and please let us know what worked, or did not, for you.

  • PSE 8 will not install on new imac OSX Snow Leopard

    28. Feb 26, 2010 4:16 PM in response to: docmark86
    Re: PSE8 will not install on Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.1
    I have a new iMac 21.5 screen with OSX Snow Leopard.  I installed IWork and turbo tax with no problem.  Nothing else.
    PSE 8 installation fails after about 80% installation just as install for PSE 8 starts. I've spent hours on the phone with Adobe and they blame it on OSX   Error analysis states:   "Uncaught JavaScript exception: Unable to read Adobe file version for path /Library/Fonts/MinionPro-Bold.otf  Apple techs have also tried."   The latest communications from Adobe instructs me on validating fonts.  We have also tried  CS3 Clean Script since the install failed several times. Case # is 0181442609.    Nothing works and Apple techs are still researching.  Any suggestions from an Adobe professional?  I am new to the Mac environment so any complicated actions may require some "hand holding".
    Thanks to all!
    Doc

    Doc, I would suggest go to the font location which from your post is: <Macintosh HD>/Library/Fonts/MinionPro-Bold.otf. There should be a font file with this name. If it exists, just "cut" it from this location and paste it on the desktop for some time and then try to install PSE again and see if that works.
    If the font file doesnt exist and instead an empty folder names "MinionPro-Bold.otf" exists, then delete the folder and then try to install PSE again.
    In either case, please do attach the installer log file in the forum thread so that I can have a look at it. They can be located at the below location:
    <Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installer/"...Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0...."
    If there are multiple copies of the installer log files, then please delete them and then try to install PSE 8 again. If it fails, quit the installer and attach the new log files which are generated to this thread.
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

    I have iMac 105.8 and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard, so got the disc from apple on line store and it will not install, just keeps ejecting from my desktop

    You have entirely too little free space on the boot drive, for best performance it's best to have hard drives only 50% filled max and never more than 80% filled.
    See Storage Drive here and reduce some space also make a seperate bootable clone backup of all your data BEFORE upgrading
    Most commonly used backup methods
    see here for how to find your disk space
    Why is my computer slow?
    If you upgrade and it doesn't go right or slows the machine down you might need to erase and install, which all your programs will have to be reinstalled from original sources and files from backup.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If you can't do this, then hire a local PC/Mac specialist.
    Do not upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 on that older machine, it will slow down and you will lose all your PPC based programs.
    Leave the Lions for a brand new machine with a SSD drive.
