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

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.

Symptom is that the Photoshop installation gets as far as a

re-installed the Windows Installer and the Photoshop install still

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.

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 won't install on eMac

I installed the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 but Dreamweaver won't install. I have an eMacPowerPC G4. Why does it always unsuccessfully install? I'm installing from my employer's DVD which is licensed for employees to install for home use.

You might have better luck if you take up this question in Adobe's own forums:

Good luck.

Unable to uninstall Dreamweaver cs3

Ive been trying for 2 days now to uninstall it.
I had done a system restore on my (WINDOWS) PC because of
some problems I started having, and Dreamweaver CS3 stopped
working. Its a trial version downloaded from here.
Ive read here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402004
But none of that helps, or applies to me.
When I click on the dreamweaver.exe file in
programs->Adobe-> dreamweaver cs3, it says:
quote:
"you cannot use the product at this time. You must repair the
problem by uninstalling then reinstalling this product or by
contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for
help."
When I try running the installer file again, it says:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is already installed. To remove or
modify this software please use it's original installer.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Cannot be installed because it
conflicts with:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Please help me. I just want to get it off my PC now and im
VERY frustrated.

I doubt that this is going to work.

Not allowing to reinstalling Dreamweaver CS3

I trashed Dreamweaver CS3 to uninstall... oops. Then after trying to reinstall realized that I should not have trashed the file because I need the original installer to completely uninstall Dreamweaver.
Now that I no longer have the file required to uninstall... I cannot reinstall the program I get this message: "Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is already installed. To remove or modify this software, please use its original installer."
Adobe no longer provides technical support for CS3 and I am desperate for a solution as I cannot do my job without Dreamweaver.
I read up an noticed a Cleaner Tool but only for CS5.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Adobe used to have separate cleaner tools for each version but merged it into one. Download and run it. I have provided a link for reference:

Dreamweaver CS3 Extension for CFMX7

I've just downloaded (and installed) CFMX7.02 and Dreamweaver
CS3. The extension for Dreamweaver in /wwwroot/CFIDE/installers ...
file name: CFMX7DreamWeaverExtensions.mxp says isn't compatible w/
Dreamweaver CS3 when installed using the Extension Manager that
came with the Dreamweaver CS3 installation.
Any help on getting CF extensions for Dreamweaver CS3 would
be appreciated.

I believe that extension was for DW MX 2004, everything after
that should have the server side CF stuff in it.

Dreamweaver CS3 Freezes on Mouseclick!

Okay, I've looked into this problem for over two hours and am
very disappointed in the development team at Adobe. I have tried a
number of things to try and fix the problem, but nothing works!
I open a .php file in code view in DW, and when I select a
block of text, then release the mouse button, DW freezes up
completely. It's rediculous. What were the developers thinking?
"When mouse button release, freeze application?" How can there be
any logic in an event handler for the mouse when I am just editing
text. How difficult is it to design a TEXT editing application that
doesn't crash. C'mon Adobe, get with it.
Anyways, I've tried to delete the site cache, didn't work. I
tried to delete the WinCacheFile which is related to some daylight
savings time bug--which is rediculous in the first place. I even
tried reinstalling / repairing the Dreamweaver CS3 installation
from my MasterCollection DVD set. That didn't help either!
What in the world is causing DW to freeze up? What can I do
to effectively "reset" DW beyond what I have already tried doing.
Does anybody know about the registry keys I can set to make sure it
doesn't occurr?? How can an application developer or designer sleep
well at night knowing they made a tool that costs a good deal of
money, yet does not work properly. It's a damn text editor!
My whole day has been spent making this application run . . .
Please, if you have experienced this problem, or know how to
fix. I need to hear from you.
Thank you for your time and help,
Laz

The lack of answers probably means no one has experienced
exactly the
same problem as you. I know your experience must be
incredibly
frustrating, but Adobe didn't deliberately create a program
that would
freeze on a mouse click. CS3 was released nearly two years
ago, and is
used by millions of people every day without encountering the
same
problem as yours.
The difficulty is identifying what causes the problem in your
case. I
have suggested a possible solution in reply to you in the
"Dreamweaver
CS3 crashing" thread. It's a long shot, but it might work.

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8 it says "The Installer Database is corrupt"

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC and when I run SETUP.EXE it says "The Installer Database is corrupt" on both my original CD and backup I made.

The error is here:
Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC
This will most likely never work. CS3 wasn't even fit for Win 7. Delete the caps.db in the respective caps folder (info here) and then take the usual steps of running as admin, turning off UAC and security tools and possibly using compatibility modes, but as I said, be prepared that this may be futile and you spend a Sunday afternoon without achieving anything...

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

How do I install Dreamweaver CS3?

I've been using Dreamweaver CS3 on my MacBook. I just bought an iMac and want to install the same program there. I downloaded the installer from my Adobe account, but it says I need a CD to install, even though I originally bought the program online and don't have a CD. Is there something I don't know about installing the program?

Well, I assumed that if I bought online, then a digital copy would always be available online. Other sites I have bought software from still have live links even though I might not have downloaded from them for five plus years. I did it only just a week back actually.
With downloads, I always burn a copy to DVD, but if three years and one day down the line I am still using the software as a main source of income, then my house burns down, I've lost both my hard copy and the online digital copy too.
By all means stop support for something that is so old because it is going to take up staff resources, but to enable a piece of software to be downloaded after a three year period is not going to impact on their day-to-day operations other than having to allow for disk space for storage. In fact, it takes effort to have disable the ability to download it whether it be an automatic or human instigated process.
If you speak with adobe staff at a trade show, they help you with any help you might need on older versions... but I guess that's because you are in their face while asking the question!

Facing Problems with the Installation of Dreamweaver CS3
