CS3 wont install

hi i had to reinstall my OS. yet agian and now my CS3 upgrade wont install , it dosent give an error message it just says on the crappy little window that there were errors installing and errors in the shared components.
any one had this prob. or can you point me in the right direction,
much respect,
jimmy

I had my worst software install nightmare ever with CS3 Master Collection on Windows on a new AMD Phenom 4 Windows XPSP3 machine I built recently, for the specific purpose of fast video editing using Adobe products. 
(It was incredible, because I started out a while back using CS3 web premium on an AMD64 Windows XP machine and never had any problems at all).
Anyway, all up it took about 30 hours of extreme agony to sort out, and what seemed to help was:
kb 401401,  kb 401528,  but what seemed to finally fix it all was looking at the massive install log text doc and doing a find on "AdobeError" which revealed a  1603 code on the file : C:\windows\system32\spool\divers\color\srgb color space profile
Luckily I eventually found some great info on another web forum that said to unlock the folder and file, by downloading and using a utility from http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/   this utility once downloaded and ran unlocked the folder and some files in it, and then everything suddenly came good when i did a full uninstall, abobe cleanup utility, and a full reinstall.
Thank God for Google.  (and as much as I loathe to say it, Microsoft, whose software never has any of these nasty push you to the limits install problems).

  • Adobe CS3 Wont Install?

    I just installed Adobe CS3 and all the programs installed but Photoshop. I have even tried just installing Photoshop by itself and still says it failed to download. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running on OS X 10.8.2

    Upgrade - some CS3 apps, according to roaringapps.com, are not compatible with Mountain Lion. Oddly enough, it shows that Photoshop CS3 is.
    Some CS3 apps were not even working under Lion. It's really time to upgrade - I went from CS3 to CS6 and have been delighted.

  • CS 3 Wont install

    My harddrive took a dump and now I need to reinstall my CS3.  It wont install.  I enter the serial # and Autho codes and they dont work!  I can't figure it out.  I called adobe and they gave me the sales pitch of " we dont offer support for that software anymore because its out dated to far." 
    Im sorry, this software cost a pretty penny, and I think I should be able to use it.  WTF?
    Any thoughts?

    The only thing behind the Adobe window is my Windows Vista Premium desktop. I was able to install from my DVD the Adobe Design Standard CS3 folder. In this folder are Acrobat Distiller 8, Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe LiceCyle Designer 8.0. I get the following message, "Component install failed." when I try to install Illustrator CS3, InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3 and Version Cue CS3 Server. In addition, I get "Successfully installed 1 component: Shared Components." Stangely enough, I also get this message, "Component install failed" for shared components. These are the list of procedures that I have used to install CS3: 1) I untinstalled my antivirus program. 2) Turned off Windows firewall. 3) Ran computer in low-res mode. 4) Ran computer in SAFE mode. 5) Defragmented all hard drive. 6) Ran Adobe Cleaner Tool. 7) Attempted to install from hard drive/desktop. 8) Attempted to install from DVD. 9) Attempted to install on two, different hard drives. 10) Attempted to install using a new user account that has administrative privileges. 11) Removed all versions of Flash Player 12. Ran Chkdsk. 12. Updated my Windows version. 13) Ran Windows Event Viewer, and there is something under MSIInstall, but I cannot figure out what it is. My computer meets installation requirements because I have 17 GB on the boot drive, 414 GB on another drive, and 1 GB RAM.

  • PSE 8 wont install on my new imac

    Hi Ankush,
    I see you have helped so many others and am hoping you can help me too.  I am starting a new thread as you requested.
    I had PSE 6 installed on my old mac G4.  I transferred everything by a firewire cable to my brand new imac.  PSE 6 wont work on my new imac so I upgraded and bought PSE 8 which wont install.  I get 95% through installation and it fails stating "error 2".
    I have uninstalled (using the adobe uninstallers) PSE 6 & PSE 8.
    I ran the analyzer and it said to run the clean program (I did for CS3 and CS4).  It also stated that Minion Pro-Bold font was a problem.  I cant find it under the font section.  PSE 8 still wont install.
    Thank you!
    Debbie

    Hi Debbie,
    Ok. So let us go step by step:
    1. Uninstall PSE 8 again from your machine through Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/Uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.app
    2. Now browse through the below location on your Hard Disk
    <Macintosh HD>/Library/Fonts/
    Check if there is any empty/non-empty folder present here saying "Minion Pro-Bold" ? If yes, then move that folder on your desktop.
    If not, and say there is a font file present in this location saying Minion Pro-Bold.otf, then move that font file on the desktop.
    3. Now try to install PSE 8 again.
    4. If it works, hooray, our problem is resolved, go ahead and delete the empty/non-empty folder which you copied on desktop in step 2. If there is a font file(.otf format) which you moved on desktop then ypou can move it back inside the Fonts folder.
    5. If it doesnt, then please attach the installer log file which can be located at below location to this forum thread, I will look into it more closely then:
    <Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/"..Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...gz"
    <Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/"..Uninstall Adobe Photoshop  Elements 8...gz"
    (If there are multiple log files in the above location, then please attach the one having latest timestamp.)

  • CS3 InDesign & Illustrator Install Exit Code 7; Other CS3 Apps Install Fine

    I feel like I'm beating a dead horse... (no offence to horse lovers out there - it's just an expression)
    I'm having trouble performing an silent install of the CS3 suite from a network share on Windows 7.  I've read through a number of posts on here, one of which was a 3 page post on this issue where Mac & Win 7 users alike posted failures, successes and how they got there, and another about removing the OS check feature from the application.proxy.xml file (which didn't work for me; unless I did something wrong...?)  Unfortunately for me after trying much of what was suggested, I'm still facing a brick wall.
    All these machines are Core 2 Duo's clocked at no less than 2.2GHz, have 4GB of RAM, have over 100GB of free disk space and are running fully updated/patched installations of Windows 7 32-bit (x86) with Office 2007 Enterprise.
    When I try to install the suite silently it fails with 'Exit Code: 7', which according to the CS3_Deployment.pdf means "Unable to complete the silent workflow."  If I take out the "--mode=silent" switch, the GUI launches and installs fine.  I took a look at the compressed log file & searched for "Return value 3", "ERROR" and "FATAL" for clues, but its vague and nondescript.  I didn't copy/paste the entire log in this post for brevity's sake, but you can check it out here:
    Condensed Version: http://pastebin.com/eFKpe9wK
    Unabridged Version: http://pastebin.com/MQDeQZmF
    Instead, however, I do want to touch on just a few things from the log:

    I've got some initial questions that pertain to what's in the log file:
    The areas in bold:  Since the same install also fails on Windows XP machines, what does this mean exactly?
    The areas in italics: Can anyone expand on what that means?
    The underlined areas: What 'Policy' is this referring to: Setup's own internal policy (like the OS check) or something else?
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Went through the 'Run a silent installation of Adobe Creative Suite 3' document
    Went through the 'Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4' document
    Used the Adobe Support Advisor to go through the logs, but it always says that no problems are found.
    Recreated the install & uninstall XML files, twice, via the "setup.exe --record=1" method for each application & the entire suiteNot that I think this is important, but I was never prompted to enter a serial number when creating the .XML files.
    Renamed the XML files for each application (e.g.: Photoshop-install.xml; CS3Suite-install.xml; Flash-remove.xml etc.)
    Copied the XML files to a common folder on a network share (e.g.: \\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\XMLs)
    Created install batch files for each application, including the suite, that install via the following command"\\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\Setup.exe" --mode=silent --deploymentFile="\\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\XMLs\Photoship-install.xml"
    Tried the installs with & without the "--skipProcessCheck=1" switch but there's no change.
    No applications are running during the installs.
    Verified my application.xml.override file was in \\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\payloads\AdobeDesignSuitePremiumen_US_Volume
    Verified I didn't have any strange characters in my application.xml.override fileI deleted and manually retyped all double quotes just to be sure.
    I noticed that the "installSourcePath" property in the install.xml files created point to a local location rather than, what I would expect to be, the installation source folder where I copied the contents of the DVD to.  On a whim I changed it to point to the copied DVD files but that didn't seem to help either so I changed it back.
    FROM: <Property name="installSourcePath">C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\498b43b77cac072081a5692bfc52804</Property>
    TO: <Property name="installSourcePath">\\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3</Property>
    Aside from Acrobat Reader 9.4.0, Adobe Flash Player 10 (ActiveX & Plugin) and maybe Shockwave 11, these machines never previously had any other Adobe products installed.
    For what its worth, uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.4.0 doesn't seem to help either.  I didn't try removing Flash Player or Shockwave [yet].
    Using the install XML files I created via "setup.exe --record=1", when I run installs for the individual applications silently [via batch files] one at a time, all applications install fine except for Illustrator and InDesign: Exit Code 7.
    This may further help suggest my application.xml.override file is fine.
    Even more interesting is that I get the same error on Windows XP and Windows 7 machines alike.  (See the image below taken from an XP machine; the same happens on Windows 7 machines so it doesn't appear this problem is OS specific.)
    Other than removing Flash Player, Shockwave and ripping out our Anti-Virus solution (Sophos), which is going to be difficult, is there anything I've missed?
    Anyone have suggestions on why Illustrator and InDesign don't install?

    I spoke with Adobe Support today and was directed to this support article:
    CPSID_84332 - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84332.html
    Although this article speaks to CS5 installations, even though I thought I made it clear that I was working with CS3, I decided to give it a shot anyway.
    The first comment passively suggests troubleshooting [all] "install errors using Creative Suite 5 install logs", which links you to CPSID_84451 - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/844/cpsid_84451.html.  But again, its CS3 I'm having trouble with and I've already linked, what I believe to be, a more appropriate CS3 [and CS4] log troubleshooting document in my first post.
    Step 1 requires restarting "your computer in a minimized state before running the installer." - This isn't at all optional nor ideal when we're talking about silent installations, especially when they can take place in the middle of the day - its highly distruptive, or deployments in general.  Plus, I'm not interested in developing a package that will perform the steps outlined and then undo everything.  Its important to note that this isn't a one-off problem: every machine that needs to have CS3 installed experiences this problem.  But for what its worth:
    I did as instructed in the troubleshooting documentation but it didn't work.
    No other applications fail to install, and all but these lone Adobe CS3 apps install fine; what gives?
    Step 2 is to perform a repair installation of the Windows Installer.  (FYI: Windows 7 ships with 5.0, my version is 5.0.7600.16385, and for the record there doesn't seem to be a redistributable download available at this time.)  I can't use this as part of my silent installation package because it calls you to run `sfc /scannow` which is time consuming and, if something is found, often requires a reboot.  Fortunately for me, "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
    Step 3 is to preinstall Adobe Air and the AdobeHelp payloads:
    AIR isn't part of the CS3 DVD, it has to be downloaded & installed silently (via -silent -eulaAccepted if you don't have the redistributable package); this was done but didn't help.
    There isn't an 'AdobeHelp' payload, only 'AdobeHelpViewerAll', which will not allow a manual instalation so I can't do that.
    In summary, these tips unfortunately did not solve the problem.

    iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • CS3 Wont Open in Windows 7--AMD Processor Issue--HELP!

    After much, much searching I've found there's been a common issue with AMD Processors on Windows 7 and getting CS3 to run correctly. Apparently a patch was created, that fixed the problem for users with similar issues. But the links to those patches are no longer valid.
    I have no phone right now, chat aint working--and I can't email Adobe of course, soooo someone please...
    The forum I found with those links and explanations is here:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/software/25313-adobe-cs3-64-bit-ultimate-3.html
    From there, this pretty much describes it:
    "Just bought an HP Pavillion Elite with Windows 7 Home Premium and AMD processor.  Photoshop CS3 would install but would hang when accessed. Some forums  suggested that Photoshop CS3 is incompatible with this AMD processor and  Windows 7 (64-bit). I called HP and was told the software is  incompatible. I was just about to return my computer when I found this  forum. I downloaded and installed the patch. I then opened Photoshop  (for the thousandth time) and voila--it FINALLY opened!!!"
    I've also found many other isntances of this complaint with AMD Processors--Photoshop gets a window open then goes into Not Responding. All other applications don't open at all (but are visible in my task manager). So it's not really a Photoshop specific complaint but I'm placing it here.
    I've updated graphics card, changed the desktop theme to Classic, not Aero, tried running the programs in different compatibility modes, all to no avail.
    This patch these guys are mentioning has GOT to be it. Someone help me get back to work!!
    thank you all in advance.

    I had not tried "run as administator." What the hell is that?! I see where to do it and all, but honestly, these permissions
    /security/owner/administrator issues on Windows 7 are nothing short of ridiculous.
    Every time I think Microsoft may have finally done something right...
    I'll try that again down the road. For the moment, looks like Adobe Acrobat 8 is completely incompatible with Windows 7 and almst impossible to delete from the system. SO first task--restoring factory setttings.
    In the meantime I'll speak to that patch for Licenseing:
    Solution 1: I ran it, but didn't seem to do anything. There was no confirmation of a successful "install," or what you might call it. Secondly, when running again, I was never prompted to enter 0.
    Solution 2: I believe those settings were already set as described and so I couldn't really make any changes.
    Solution 3: Those folders don't exist, so couldn't do that one.
    For various other reasons I wasn't having luck with the next couple thanks to stupid permissions. I'll try again once I've gotten back up to speed.
    But yea, someone out there seems to have found a CS3 patch. Am I at least to presume that CS5 would def. work on my comp, and therefore, CS6 is a shoe-in?

    Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat. 
    Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
    Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
    It works now BUT there are still problems.  It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn.  Looking still for this fix.
