Database is corrupt when trying to open Creative Suite 3 in Mavericks

I backuped up my hardrive on my iMac i7 then erased the hard drive and repartitioned it so I could run 2 different operating systems.   I renstalled all my backup info on one of the partitions  and then upgradded ito OS X Mavericks.  When I went to open creative suite 3 design premium i got an error message that said my database was corrupt and to contact Adobe support.  I even triied to run License Recovery 11.6.1 in my terminal and things just got worse.
Now I can't even uninstall suite using my orginal disk.
What do I do?

Creative Suite 3 is not supported on Mavericks, sorry.

  • How to resolve message "Installer database is corrupt" when trying to install CS4 on Win 8.1?

    I purchased a disk set of CS4 a few years back and have recently purchased a new computer. When trying to install CS4 on the new computer, I received an error message saying "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." Called "customer support" and after a VERY long time and three transfers, I was told "Too bad, we can't help you. Maybe download a new copy?" So I did. When trying to install the fresh download, I received the exact same error message: "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." This appears to be a conflict between the CS4 installer database and Win 8.1. Is this a known issue? How do I resolve it? Thanks for any assistance. ~Evey

  • "Project or Library file is corrupt" when trying to open XControl

    This is not a question, this is an account of my learning experience that I hope saves you from throwing your monitor through the wall.
    When trying to open an XControl, I received the following error: "Project or Library file is corrupt"
    Knowing Projects/Classes/XControls are all XML files, I opened the XControl using Notepad++ to see what was going on. The file structure is somewhat intuitive, and you'll be able to recognize many components of your library.
    I used a binary search approach to find the offending XML by deleting all of the virtual folders, then seeing if the XControl would open. It did, meaning the headers of the XML were fine. Then I took the original file again, and deleted half the virtual folders to see if it would open, and it did not, meaning the offending XML was in a virtual folder I had not deleted that round. I took the original file, and deleted the other half of virtual folders, and it opened. I took the original file, and deleted only one virtual folder, and it opened. Aha! that virtual folder had only 5 items, and I knew one of the items must be the culprit.
    Anyway, it only took about 10 minutes to narrow it down to an item that had a duplicate entry, two lines that were exactly the same:
    After I deleted the duplicate item, the XControl opened up just fine! No data loss, no corruption.
    How did the item get duplicated? Beats me. Could have been the product of a crash, some of my notorious renaming shenanigans, who knows.
    Lessons learned:
    Version Control (Source Code Control) is a hero, as usual.
    Try poking around with the XML if you get corrupt libraries - it may be an easy fix, but your mileage may vary.
    Don't even think about #2 unless you have #1 "under control"
    Action Item for Applications Engineer: could you point this error to the Owning Developer? I would suggest this type of an error fail more gracefully, or at least with more information. Possibly, this type of error could self-correct silently since it's so easy to diagnose? Watching the library tank due to a benign issue nearly cost me a monitor and a monitor-sized area worth of sheetrock damage.  (  )

    I cannot find the result about this topic.

    Hope there is better solution for this problem

  • Setup.app freezes when trying to install Creative Suite 4

    HI, I can't seem to get to the install window where you pick which programs to install. I click the setup.app file and it freezes seconds later. It doesn't crash and no error messages pop up. The only thing i can do is force quit and try again. All other programs are closed.
    I have 10.4.11 Tiger on my MacBook and the system meets the minimum requirements
    I've tried:
    -Creative Suite Cleanup (uninstalled flash plugins etc)
    -Adobe Support Advisor (it found no errors on the disc)
    -ran Disk Utility to repair permissions
    -restarting computer
    People i've talked to think it is a font issue, but when i ran the support advisor no errors came up. I unlocked disabled fonts.
    Also found this in console.log: executing /Volumes/Adobe CS4 Design Premium Disc 1/Adobe CS4 Design Premium/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
      what():  Invalid path passed to FileSystemPath constructor.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  • Error (-1) when trying to install creative suite 5 design premium

    I am trying to install on new desktop, and get error(-1) code. I did have this on old laptop, but it quit working. Please help

    Amyjoan50 I am sorry but I don't have any experience with attempting to run Creative Suite 5 in a virtual box.  You will want to make sure that the applications have access to the necessary video drivers.  This can often be an issue when trying to run a virtual OS.
    You may also want to check with the Ubuntu or Virtual Box community to see if others have had success trying to install using Virtual Box.

  • Serial number is invalid when trying to install Creative Suite 6 (Student/Teacher Edition) on my new mac?

    I have deactivated CS6 on my old laptop, but every time I try to enter the serial number to re-activate it tells me that it is invalid. Is there a period of time that I have to wait before it becomes able to be activated again? It's been about 24 hours. Or could the problem be that it was previously installed on a PC, but now I have upgraded to a mac? Is there any way to fix this? Please help! Thank you!

    Normally a PC serial number is not valid for a Mac version.  I don't know if the following holds for Student/Teacher editions though there should be something similar...
    Change product platform or language
    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

  • Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

    Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation.  I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem.  Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes.  Why is this?  How can I or IT fix this?
    Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

  • When trying to open any of the 4 apps in  Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard I own outright, , I am unable to use the software and instead am being prompted to "Renew your Subscription to Creative Cloud".  Please help me

    I have purchased and used Adobe Products for 25+ years and I own CS6 Design Standard outright. 
    I  had previously  subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud  but did not renew the annual subscription. 
    The CS6 Design Standard serial number is listed in my Adobe user account.    I have run the the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaning tool, uninstalled  the Adobe Creative Cloud App and all other CC apps from my iMac.  I reinstalled  fresh copies of the CS6 software two different times, first from  my CS6 DVD disk and then from the  Adobe Download page.  During each installation of CS6, all seemed to run normally and I was prompted to enter the license number and it was accepted.  However, when trying to open the software after completing the installation, I am being prevented from doing so without renewing the Creative Cloud  subscription. 
    Who knows of a solution to this problem? 
    Contacting Adobe’s Chat support and Customer Support portal has not resulted in a solution, even though they have confirmed the license number as being accurate and linked to my account.  After weeks of waiting on their responses, yesterday I was told to go to the Forums to find a solution….Please Help Me….Thanks

    I am not familiar with the process involved with the link I am providing so please accept my apology if it is a repeat of something you have already tried...

  • Legacy SE 6 Runtime Message When Trying to Open Adobe Creative Suite

    Hello -
    Our office is using Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (will be upgrading soon).  However, when trying to open any Adobe apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. on ONE of our Macs, we receive a message that says "Legacy SE 6 Runtime Needs to be Installed."  On our other Mac (which is new), we do not have this issue. We literally cannot open any Adobe product on this one Mac - we just receive the same popup message about Legacy SE 6 Runtime.
    Both Macs are running Yosemite 10.10.2
    Both Macs are using Adobe Creative Suite 5.5
    I have tried researching this and have not been able to come up with solution.  Any guidance or resources is appreciated!!!
    Thank you!!

    Thank you!! We will give this a try.

    First, ask in the forum for the program you are using
    This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs
    If you start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
    You will be able to select a forum for the specific Adobe product(s) you use
    Click the "down arrow" symbol on the right (where it says All communities) to open the drop down list and scroll
    Second, do a complete scan with a good anti-virus program to be sure your computer is clean... I use Norton, there are others
