Dreamweaver CS3 Installation Problems

Hello,
I have just got Dreamweaver CS3 and Photoshop CS3 and have
had some real issues with installing them! Here is my situation
explained.
I first installed Dreamweaver CS3 after un-installing a
previous version of Dreamweaver (the one from Macromedia) and it
installed as normal. I then tried to install Photoshop but it only
got as far as 8.46% and would go no further! I did a system restore
and tried installing Photoshop before Dreamweaver and it installed!
I then tried to install Dreamweaver but once the "Adobe Setup" got
to 100% it disappeared and the Installation screen did not appear,
in fact nothing happened! I went in an endless loop of installing
one before the other and have landed and having Photoshop on the
computer and not been able to install Dreamweaver! As I mentioned,
if I don't have Photoshop installed, Dreamweaver will install and
vice-versa.
I'm thinking it is a conflict problem, but I dunno where to
begin looking. I've cleared the computer of useless files and
registry entries (I use a program called CCleaner) and I also went
into
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and did a search for
'dreamweaver' and deleted everything that came up, just so it'd be
like Dreamweaver was never installed.
I used the CS3 Cleaner because I previously had the PS BETA
but it never worked right and it kept failing when deleting stuff,
so I dunno why that was.
If anyone knows any reason why this is doing it and have any
ways of helping me out, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
P.S. I am on Windows Vista Home Premium

You may experiencing the same problem that I had. If you had
a previous Beta installation installed, it may be preventing the
new installation.

Microsoft. Microsoft shuttled me to Dell. Dell told me they could
fix the problem with Windows Installer on my XP Pro system for
$245.
Symptom is that the Photoshop installation gets as far as a
screen that says "Loading Setup," blinks, then goes away. I
re-installed the Windows Installer and the Photoshop install still
fails.
Any help appreciated...

  • Dreamweaver CS3 installation asking for Photoshop CS4 disc

    I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 from the original install disc and a progress bar gets about 1/2 way through the installation process and I'm asked to insert the Photoshop CS4 install disc.
    The Dreamweaver installation is not an upgrade. It is an original install.
    I am on a Mac, OS 10.6
    This is weird.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Run this, the re-install.  Ignore the name of the file.  They condensed everything into one package for CS3-CS5 instead of separate packages for each:

  • Dreamweaver CS3 FTP problem

    Hi,
    I am unable to connect to my remote server using my new copy
    of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
    When I test the FTP connection I get an error message
    I can connect without problems to my remote server using
    Microsoft Frontpage and the exact same FTP address, login, and
    password - so it is not the server which is at fault
    Things I have tried without success
    My hosting company told me to either leave the host directory
    box blank or put a / in it. Neither of these options work
    I have tried retyping my login details carefully.
    I have tried checking the ‘use passive FTP’ box
    I have tried putting a colon and the port number after the
    FTP address
    I have tried writing the FTP address with and without the
    ftp:// symbol
    I have tried setting the FTP time out preferences at 60secs,
    30 secs, 120 secs, 10 secs, and 5 secs
    I am wondering what else to try, and how I can check whether
    or not the software is being blocked by a firewall (in Norton for
    example - my windows firewall is switched off) as I do remember
    getting a message about this during the install. Or would it be a
    good idea to uninstall and reinstall the software?
    I would be most grateful for any further information or
    advice.
    Many thanks

    > When I test the FTP connection I get an error message
    What is the error message?
    Here's my experience.
    1. A firewall (any firewall, including but not restricted to
    SP2) may be
    blocking your attempts. It's best to completely disable them
    while you are
    troubleshooting this.
    2. The FTP host field should usually always be filled in like
    this -
    ''www.domain.com'' (without the quotes) and with NO leading
    protocol (e.g.,
    http:// or ftp://) (of course, you can always
    use the IP address, too).
    3. Enabling Passive FTP (usually the default for 3rd party
    FTP programs) in
    your Remote site definition can often be the gating factor in
    a balky FTP
    connection.
    Make sure you use those guidelines and usually your
    connection problem will
    be solved.
    By the way, if you find that #1 allows the connection to
    proceed, then you
    have to figure out what it is about your firewall that is
    blocking
    transmissions. CS3 allows you to fine tune firewall support
    via the
    Remote site definition, but you may also need to do a very
    simple thing of
    permitting CS3 to make outgoing connections in the Firewall
    configuration.

  • Dreamweaver Extension installation problem

    Hello Folks,
    When ever I tried to install the new Coldfusion8_tags_for_dw
    extension on my Dreamweaver CS3, it fails and it generate the error
    "cannot update a file. The extension will not be installed".
    Please help me to resolve this problem.

    So, I´m not getting a error file. This "Adobe Setup" windows close after one second.
    First there is opening a window, which controls the system profile from my computer. After this short opening from the "Adobe Setup" window the first window with the system profile doesn´t works. I cannot install any Adobe program.
    Should I phone the Adobe Service???

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Uploading Problem

    Cannot upload my first Web Page to the Web Site (Host). I

    When I PUT Index.html from Local to Remote, I receive the

  • I am having problems with my Dreamweaver CS3 installation

    I called adobe for help and was connected to technical support. My issue is that I am unable to reinstall dreamweaver (CS3web premium) and the tech person told me that my cd was corrupt. His instruction was to drag all my adobe apps , which, apart from dreamweaver, worked fine, to the trash. when i attempted to reinstal all I got an error message, missing resources. At this point the tech person told me that I would have to upgrade as all of my app licences had been cencelled by dragging to trash.
    This is a tremendoes disservice and if it represents adobe policy it will ultimately destroy adobe.

    You receive an error message regarding missing resources when you try to install?  To locate the exact source of your installation error I would recommend you review the installation logs.  You can find steps on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-install-logs-cs3.html.

  • CS3 installation problem

    Hi, I am an engineer of bangladesh television. We are using HP xw8400 with CS3 production premium and matrox axio le. because of Operating system problem, I have recovered OS (XP-sp2) from Recovery drive. I am trying to install a fresh copy of CS3 production premium. At the begining of installation i put the serial key for installation. After installing when i launch adobe premiere CS3 then activation process begins. in the activation wizerd my serial key is showed well and I click next to activate over internet. another window opens, where ask me to select the product from a list which we own and put serial again. In the list Adobe premiere CS3, after effect cs3 etc are listed but CS3 production premium is not listed. When I put my serial key again here then it is not matched with the product. How can I solve this problem and activate this???? please help.

    Is sounds like you may be installing a CS3 upgrade version, and this will require you to enter the serial number for a qualifying product that you would be upgrading from, for instance Production Premium CS2 perhaps. You will need the serial number from your previous version.
    Thank you

  • Dreamweaver Cs3 CSS Problems

    Good day, I am having problems using my new version of CS3.
    When I am working in split view, or design view for that matter,
    any css that I add to the page does not show up when designing the
    page. Whether it is inline or attached, I don't see the changes to
    the page while working on it. Is there something I need to adjust
    in my properties to make this work? I have not had this problem in
    Dreamweaver MX 2004. Any and all help would be so helpful. Thank
    you in advance.
    Rob

    Hi SnakeEyez, thank you for a prompt reply. I do not have the
    page uploaded as I just started working with it. I don't understand
    how it would be a code problem if Dreamweaver is adding the code
    for me. For example, when I add
    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    body {
    background-color: #003333;
    -->
    </style>
    the page is still white when designing. Any ideas why this
    is? Thanks.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 installer aborts install

    Hi,
    I have made 3 attempts at instlaling DW CS3, but each time
    the installer quits and gives me the message that only the shared
    components were installed. My computer meets the requirements for
    DW CS3. There are two seemingly strange things about the install
    (1) it takes close to 30 minutes before I get the error message and
    (2) at this time, the progress bar shows about 95% complete, but
    then jumps back to about 80% complete, stops and gives me the
    mesage about only the shared components being installed.
    My questions are: How can I get the trial version installed?
    and second, why does the installer take 30 minutes to install just
    the shared components? and, third, how can I just install DW
    without the shared compoents as I do not need them and why take up
    my harddrive space with components that I do not need?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Hi Keith

  • Dreamweaver CS3/Flash problem

    Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Dreaweaver CS3 from 2004
    MX. However, I'm having a problem trying to display a Flash banner
    on my website.
    My site is www.flaccidsacks.co.uk, you'll notice on the index
    page the Flash banner at the top.
    However, I updated a couple of pages, and you'll see if you
    click on "Record Labels" that the Flash banner doesn't appear. The
    source doesn't even appear to have the name of the Flash file.
    However, in the Dreamweaver design panel the Flash file is in
    the correct position, and it appears fine when I preview it. It
    seems though that Dreamweaver is doing something when I publish the
    page that's preventing the Flash banner from appearing.
    I would be very grateful for anyone who can spare a minute to
    help me.
    Thanks
    Lyle

    > Additionally, when I opened the pages to update,
    Dreamweaver asked if I

    When you clicked "yes" a folder named Scripts was generated
    in your files.
    Upload that folder to the server.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Sync Problem

    This topic may have been mentioned before, but cannot find
    anythinf for it. I have used several versions of Dreamweaver and
    had no problem updating to web sites. Since I've updated to the CS3
    version, whatever web site I am working on, or varying hosting
    companies, it always misses pages or files that I've been working
    on. It will go through the whole site, telling me which ones are
    needed to be uploaded, but will always miss some or all that I have
    just edited.
    I've noticed that I can edit a file say 12/02/2008 11.03am.
    Upload it manually and find that on (any) of my hosting sites that
    it's modifed date/time will be 12/02/2008 7.03pm. 8 hours ahead.
    Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
    Many thanks,
    Alan.

  • Solution for PS CS3 installation problem on Vista does not work.

    I encountered the much discussed 2739 error when trying to install PS CS3 on Vista Ultimate. I followed the proposed solution. But instead of a dialog box I received the message: not recognized. I have the latest update of Java installed and I have IE as my default browser.
    What now? Return CS3?

    I did and got a friendly guy who apparently had never heard of the 2739 error. I was hoping to get some support here. In another thread I read something about holding the installation window until installation starts. I can try it, but I doubt I am quick enough before the error window opens.
