Dreamweaver CS3 vs. Windows Vista

SO! I am almost thoroughly disgusted with this program. I am
in an online based web design class for college and now that we are
within the last few weeks of class they teacher has asked us to
install a free 30-day trial of Dreamweaver CS3 for out final
project. I downloaded it the first time with no problems, ran the
installation process, then when I went to open the program itself
it gave me this:
"You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair
the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or
contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for
help."
After you click "ok" on the prompt, Dreamweaver still makes
an attempt to open itself, but once it goes to a blank workspace,
it shuts itself down completely!
So I did what it asked, and ran into the same problem again.
I have already done the command prompt and run as
administrator with the code that I found on the adobe
troubleshooting website.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could let me know
what is going on here.

So, have you contacted Adobe Customer support? You realise
these forums are
user to user, and Adobe employees only drop in now and then.
That said, there are many people who have your setup running
smoothly, so
don't be too disheartened - someone will have a suggestion or
two which may
help shortly.

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

Hello everyone,
I was having the same issue:
"Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
4. Event Viewer
5. Application
You will see something like this:
Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
"Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

Trouble installing DW CS3 on Windows Vista

Hi I really need some help. I'm about to lose it.
I bought DW CS3 directly from Adobe in June '07. I had installed it on my laptop running Win XP. It worked fine and I liked working with DW. My laptop died a couple months ago and I bought a brand new HP desktop. I installed DW CS3 seemingly without any problems. But ... when I go to open DW, ... nothing happens. It doesnt matter where I try to open it from, the Start menu, or the program file in the directory where it was installed. There were no errors or problems during any of the install attempts. Its just when you click on the icon to open DW, it just doesnt do anything. Nothing. As if you didnt even click on it.
I have not been able to find any thread/discussion with this exact problem. I've tried implementing solutions from other install problems posted, but nothing has worked. I tried selective startup. Tried uninstall/reinstall a couple times. Tried repairing the install.
My specs:
HP Pavilion a6750y
AMD Athlon Phenom X4 9650
8GB RAM
750GB HD
Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 1
64-bit Operating System
I'm not a computer expert of any sort, but I know enough to get by.
Can anyone please help? Thanks so much.

Nadia,
Thanks for replying. I just checked out that tech note & tried the regedit thing, but no luck. I seriously can't believe that this is so much trouble.
I also need to just say that I did call Adobe support and unfortunately for me, they need to charge me $40 to help me, because now CS4 is out, so they don't support CS3 for free anymore. This is very very poor business practice on Adobe's part. Most manufacturers of any product, not just software, will continue to support at least the version previous to their newest.
I am an amateur web designer and just like to play around. I was proud of myself for spending $200 my last year of school (econ major, not IT), to get the educational version of what I thought was a top-notch web design software. I cannot afford to pay $40 for help. And I definitely cannot afford whatever the price of CS4 is, since I am not a student anymore. I really enjoyed using DW CS3 on my laptop. Unfortunately as I said before, it is now dead, and apparently, so is my ability to use Dreamweaver.
Shame on you Adobe. I will spread this message far and wide.
If anyone else has any possible solutions to what my problem is, I am willing to try anything. Thanks Nadia & Murray for your suggestions. I will stay tuned to this forum until I have a solution.

Thumbs Up To Upgrading To CS3 and Windows Vista

Hi Folks,
After several years of using Dreamweaver 8 on my antiquated,
10-year old, 700MZ DELL (upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP),
I finally bought a new HP with Windows Vista. Then I upgraded from
DW8 to CS3 ($199) and couldn't be happier. I used to have the old
XP "login" issue (remembering the login) and was never able to
resolve it, despite using the recommened fix I found here, so it
was something I just lived with.
But that's all behind me now. This new DW works great with
Vista and so far, I have no issues whatsoever. Looking forward to
learning more about CS3 and all it's features.
I'm a total novice... (you can tell by viewing my website:
LBIBeachRentals.com ... LOL), but if I can do it, anyone can. Many
thanks again to everyone who has helped me in the past,
particularly Peggy and Murray from OC.

disc to reload onto my new computer. Here's my question. Do I need
to have the old version of dreamweaver 8 uploaded before I can use
the CS3 or CS4 version? Or, is the CS3 or CS4 a total package with
the old program being obsolete? I appreciate your answer!
I did much the same recently - (upgrade) from MX to CS3. I
was using a boxed set but all I needed were the qualifying serial
numbers of two MX programs for an upgrade. The applications were
self standing and I never had to install the old ones.
I would suggest turning the Vista Aero interface off -
particularly if you also have Fireworks - after that it is great.

Dreamweaver CS3 Install on Vista Home Prem

Hi there
I have just got a new laptop with Vista Home Premium
installed and I have attempted to install Dreamweaver CS3. The
first day it seemed to work fine until I got a message stating that
registration had failed catestrophically. It then shut down and I
was unable to run it since.
I have uninstalled the program, checked that all previous
installs had been unregistered and Installed again.
When I double click to run the application I get the little
circle icon that I guess replaces the egg timer in vista but then
after a second or two it disapears and nothing happens.
I have tried to uninstal, repair the installation but to no
avail. I even tried setting the clock to before the time change
last month as that caused an issue on the XP install on the old
computer but nothing seems to work - does anyone have any
ideas?????
I have had a look around the forums but not really came up
with anything.
Thanks in advance

Thanks SnakEyez02 .
The Windows restore said that it failed the two times that I
tried it. But after doing this I tried Dreamweaver again and it
seems to be working. The registration has failed again however I am
able to use it. Hopefully one time it wil let the registration
complete.
Thanks for your help.

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...

Installation Flash cs3 with Windows Vista Ultimate

I am trying to use Flash on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Installing the program tells me a mistake "error in the
installation component". I have tried to install in administrator
mode and windows account manager
Can anyone tell me how to install Flash for suite cs3?

I would download a new installer, you can get the trial
installer, then just enter your serial when you first run it.
Sounds like a corrupt exe. But yes, make sure and run as
Administrator by right clicking the file.

Is Dreamweaver compatible with Windows Vista?

No matter what I do I can't insert text into Dreamweaver. I'm
beginning to think Dreamweaver is not compatible with Windows
Vista. I can type text into it but I can't write a document in
another program then insert it into a DW page. It just won't do
anything at all. I've watched about 4 videos on this and read many
things on Dreamweaver help and can't find it. I think it might be
easier to learn html than Dreamweaver. I can't find any good
Dreamweaver tutorials, even in Lynda.com. They all teach as if you
already know most of the program.

Where are you copying the text FROM? Which app?

Failed to install Photoshop CS3 in Windows Vista SP1

Hi there, I dunno why I cannot install Photoshop CS3 after upgrading my OS to Vista SP1. I have searched for lots of "solution" in Google but they seem to be useless and I am still unable to install PS in my computer.
Does anyone here has the above situation and would you mind to tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Hello.
I got almost the same problem as he got.
I just got Windows Vista 32 bit version. I got it installed before but suddenly I cud dent launch the program, and then I re installed the software, in due to I cud install it again. But I was wrong. It gives this this error: http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=unbenannt1mb5.jpg.

Installed CS3 with windows vista bit AE won't open.

When my old faithful computer motherboard fried, I had to get a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.
I had CS3 loaded and working without a glich on my old XP computer.
I've loaded the whole CS3 suite, but when I open After Effects nothing happens. Using Window's Task Manager, under "Applications" After Effects doesn't show up as a running but under "Processes" the file "AfterFX.exe *32" is listed as running.
I've also tried uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it in the directory "Program Files" rather than in the directory "Program Files (x86)" and nothing changed.
I've tried to opening all the other programs in CS3 with the similar results. Nothing opens, but their .exe files are listed under Task Managers "Processes".
I'm using this as a vol lic product, so I'm not sure how much tech support I can get.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I'm sorry it didn't work. I probably don't have an answer for you since I'm not an expert or anything.
One thing I thought was weird was that the software version on my computer for the motherboard was version 6.xx (whatever) and the software I downloaded from the HP web was version 5.xx (whatever). It made it work though..
I think the update would be on the HP site, not the MSI site. Go to hp.com, downloads, and put in the name of your computer. Download/install whatever motherboard software they have. If that doesn't work, go to the adobe website and search for the document kb402213 and work through that. It's what the person you give Adobe $40 to help you is going to do.
Good luck. Hopefully this helps.

Using Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8

Purchased Dreamweaver CS3 in 2008 - have upgraded computers to Windows 8 platform - how can I use the version I have?

Hi Edie,
Dreamweaver CS3 has not been tested and is incompatible with Windows 8

Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 8 Issues

I have Dreamwever CS3 and Windows 8 and I keep getting errors that can only be resolved by closing down DW and losing the work I have processed so far. I happens mostly when I use extentions such as Webassaist Data Bridge. I have visited their forum but they advised me to checkout you trouble shooting service.
Please advise
tonytanner257

Hi,
If Dreamweaver is working fine without the extensions, I am not sure if we should be troubleshooting Dreamweaver. Just to be sure, Windows 8 is not a supported version for Dreamweaver CS3. It could possibly work, but wouldn't have been tested on Windows 8 as Adobe supports only the previous two versions of any software.
This is my best answer. You could wait for other experts for their opinion.
Thanks,
Preran

Dreamweaver crash on Windows Vista

I'm having a lot crashes using dreamweaver on Windows Vista,
does any one have the same problem or where I can find a solution
of this problem, thanks

Hi,
the answers here are more than discouraging. first of all was
vista supposed to chip a long time ago. this would have left adobe
a long time to test the product and if it could not be fixed to
issue an warning. it did not do so and that means that adobe was
negligent in its communication.
in addition adobe more or less abandoned the mac market a few
years ago (no CF server, no Videoproducts, etc.) in favor of the
windows platform. it there can be assumed that adobe/macromedia
will support this platform asap and not refer to some time in the
future.
what does this mean for users like us: adobe cannot be used
on the mac platform serioulsy due to the lack of native support for
our intel machines. adobe products cannot be used on the
windowsplatfrom due to incompatibilites. since we are a coldfusion
partner we have no choice but to uninstall vista everywhere and
reinstall XP. who pays us for the time and the licenses.
i cannot understand how adobe for the second time missed the
boat on such an important technology switch. they missed the intel
platform switch and are more than 1 1/2 year late and now they
missed the vista switch... incredible for products that are on the
highprice side of the market.
adobe has the option of either changing it price modell to
low cost solutions or by offering ASAP patches and speeding up a
free upgrade for vista users....
a frustrated and deeply concerned user of former macromedia
products.

Indesign cs3 y Windows Vista

Hola, me gustaría saber si alguien ha tenido el siguiente problema:
Instalo Adobe Suite Cs3 en Windows XP y funciona sin poblemas. Lo instalo en Windows Vista y Indesign me aparece en inglés y además no funciona correctamente. El resto de las aplicaciones, hasta donde yo se, bien.
Gracias por anticipado.

He instalado el CS3 en mi computador, pero a la hora de usarlo los botones están deshabilitados. Me ocurre con todos los programas, por ejemplo, en Indesign dibujo un cuadrado y el botón de cambiar de color lo veo pero no lo puedo utilizar porque está desactivado.
Por favor quisiera resolver este problema.
Gracias
