Hi, I had installed the Photoshop CS3 and it worked. After the uninstall (because that version isen't official) and reinstall the official version, I have this error: http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=adobecs3bp0.jpg
I tryed to clean manually the windows XP registry and I tryed to clean with AdobeCS3 cleaning tool but without succesfully, the error it is the same.

Hi rewan,
I have no ESP what so ever, so my suggestion is to try out the Support Knowledge Base at Adobe...

Getting a "Setup Error" when I try to re-install Photoshop CS3

I've had a nightmare week. My iMac crapped out and I lost the harddrive. Now I'm slogging through the process of re-installing all my software.
Per the instructions of the Adobe Customer Service, I went into "My Adobe" > "My Orders" and downloaded the Photoshop CS3 I purchased in Sept. 2007. (I know it's old but it serves the purpose I need).
But when I double click the "Setup" application, I get the following message:
Setup Error
Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
When I contacted Customer Support, they told me they could not help me because they do not offer support for old versions of CS and to post a question here, so that's what I'm doing.
Does anyone know what the "Setup Error" is and how I can re-install Photoshop CS3?

Is IE your default browser?
The address in that error is somewhat peculiar, in that it points to a process running on your computer (127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that points to your own system).
I suggest that after downloading and saving the Flash installer to a folder, you completely exit Firefox, and do the installation with Firefox closed in case having Firefox open is interfering in some manner.
Of course, make sure you get the official installer from Adobe, and '''uncheck the box for any tag-along software that you do not want''':

Installing Photoshop CS3 on Windows 8

How can i install Photoshop CS3 on Windows 8 - install does not complete - error message "Installer Database corrupt". The Abobe help chat system is unable to help.
Rebooting my computer and re-downloading the software from the Adobe website for another clean install made no difference.
Is this a compatability problem and if so how can I fix it?

Something else to try:

Cannot install Photoshop CS3 - Installer just dissappeared

I have an issue installing Photoshop CS3 as follow:
I have removed all Photoshop CS3 Beta manually (Use control panel, deleted files and registries) as instructed in this web and get rid of all thing involved Adobe out of my computer.
When I clicked Setup.exe, a setup windows with progressive bar (See in http://www.thetaforce.com/image/cs3installer.jpg ) appeared shortly and then disappear!
Then nothing is happenned further. No error message. It just disappeared. I wait for an hour but nothing happened.
I tried to run Windows in clean mode (msconfig -> disable unneccessary services) and also disable Antivirus and Firewall etc. But this problem persists.
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (32Bit) and have Intel Centrino Duo 2.0GHz with 1.5GB of Ram (DDR2) and 100GB HDD. Graphic shared Intel 945GM Express Chipset.

I finally got CS3 to install last night, I decided to vanilla install XP sp2 from scratch using a ghost copy.
I then ran the installer from the same physical disk but diffrent partition and I got 2 errors, CS3 and shared components failed to install. I was just about to throw the towel in, having cleanned my pc back to nothing but base XP sp2 install and then I thought why not put the whole 460mb package on the root or C:.
I ran the installer and uncompressed the file, which created the installer and executed. The options screen popup (at last!!) and I chose the default install location and few minutes later, CS3 was installed and running.
I then spent the next couple of hours updating XP with 80+ security patches, IE7 and all my other applications.
This may seem a bit drastic, but I can only conclude that this problem had nothing to do with CS3beta but rather a conflict with one or some XP security updates / patches.
Also, there must be something inherently wrong with the CS3 installer scripts, perhaps absolute rather dynamic file addressing as it just would not work if I put the installer on a different drive.
I've burnt nigh on 20 hours on this upgrade and finally have it running.
Focusing on the positives, my pc is running a lot quicker and has less bloatware than before, however getting a PC to be stable takes a lot of time and effort, which I now have to contend with. In fact, IE 7 is already crashing more than it did previsouly!
Looking on the bright side, I finally have access to my CS3beta PSDs with LR working in harmony.
I do hope others can solve the problem in a less drastic manner. For me, I felt it better to work from a know XP build to isolate the many variables.

Having problems re-installing Photoshop CS3 onto my Mac

Hi, I am having a few problems with re-installing Photoshop CS3 (consisting of licensed versions of CS and the CS3 upgrade) onto my Mac after a repair. I run a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Powerbook and OSX mountain Lion). On installation I had to ok the following error messages...."Could not import clipboard because unexpected end of file was encountered" and "Could not Synchronize colour settings because of program error" CS3 is running but simple action requests such as levels are unavailable in the batch processing and Adobe Bridge quits unexpectedly all the time aswell. Any advice on how to get a quality re-install and/or how to fix these problems? Any help much appreciated:)
Ian.

I do not know what I did differently this time, but I finally got this printer to install. I wish I could leave a better solution in case others are running into a similar problem; however, I honestly have nothing to say besides uninstalling everything and then installing it again using the HP Printer Install Wizard.

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 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.

Remote desktop no longer connects after installing Photoshop CS3

Hi,
Last week I downloaded and installed the Photoshop CS 3 extended trial on a PC that I regularly connect to via remote desktop. After Photoshop had finished installing, I could no longer connect to that machine (Its running Windows XP SP3) through remote desktop.
Searching on this issue has quickly brought up the fact that CS3 installs Apple's Bonjour service and that has been known to cause connectivity problems for other users. I removed Bonjour by following the guide here (http://www.x64bit.net/site/board/index.php?s=888c3f3673c453dcc972decd6e67e8e0&showtopic= 4214&st=0&p=40719&#entry40719) and reset the Winsock catalog (netsh winsock reset).
Unfortunately I still am unable to connect to that machine with remote desktop. These two machines are connected through a gigabit switch (nothing tricky at all) and it had been working flawlessly until I installed Photoshop CS3. Now when i enter the computer name in the remote desktop connection box and click "Connect", it shows activity (the colored bar moves) and then the connect button returns to its default state and nothing happens. No error messages or anything.
I have searched Apple's forums and found users on various message boards report this same issue, but none seem to have a resolution (aside from re-installing the OS, which doesn't resolve anything if you end up re-installing CS3). Is anyone familiar with this issue and found a solution? If so, I would love to hear it!
Thanks!

I have the same exact issue right now. We purchased CS3 Master Collection and some - not all - of the machines are now refusing a RDP session. I looked in to the Bonjour service problem but it doesnt seem to be the issue. Other machines with the same service work fine.
Anyone have an idea?
Has Adobe addressed this at all. I am aware that more than just the two of us have experienced this issue.

Install Photoshop CS3 over CS/ver. 8?

Hi: I'm helping a friend try to install Photoshop CS3 as a stand alone -- not the suite. He's using OS X and has CS (the suite) already installed (Photoshop ver. 8). I'm helping him remotely using Logmein.
I dragged the Photoshop folder to the trash then tried to install the CS3 CD. I got an error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS3 is already installed. To remove or modify this software, please use its original installer."
He can't find the original CD. Trolling the Internet, it said to check under AdobePhotoshop\Utilities to find an uninstaller. It was there and I double clicked. It told me I had to close other running CS3 insall disks, which I did. When I went back, the Uninstaller was gone.
I tried to install CS3 again but with the same error message.
I'm a PC person so not greatly familiar with the uninstall process here. What's the best way to do this? I found a help file here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331296.html
Will that work?
Many thanks!
George

Hi:
Thanks for the reply. He installed the full CS suite previously but has ONLY the fully licensed stand-alone Photoshop CS3 -- not the suite and not an upgrade. So he wants to install only that. It's not even critical that he keeps the other stuff that comes with the previous CS suite, if there's a way of zapping all of that.
Thanks,
George

Alexa, you have posted in the Photoshop Scripting Forum. You would be better served by posting your question to users of the Photoshop Windows Forum. Can't be of much more help than that (mac user sorry)

Installing photoshop CS3 on Windows 7

Wondered if anyone else experienced problems installing Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7?

It works, but there are known problems with installation and use so you should consult the Adobe support forums. If you're trying to install it on a new PC, just get the latest upgrade package from Adobe. You'll get A LOT more out of the latest version than you would CS3 since CS3 doesn't support the newer technology and lacks hardware acceleration.

Can't install Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3

Hello, I recently have reformated my machine and installed XP SP3
sadly now, I can't install Photoshop CS3, when I double-click on Setup.exe, it show me a small bar/dialog which tells me it's extracting files, but after that, NOTHING HAPPENS
I left it for an hour, and again, nothing happens. I checked my Task Manager and I found that Setup.exe and Msiexec.exe are running but with completely 0% of system resource.
I tried everything possible, nothing worked for me, I really need Photoshop CS3 for my work.
thanks advance
JohnX

I hear ya. that's on an existing system with an upgrade. i've solved (well, resolved) a remote desktop problem with a rollback to sp2.
but on the clean xp pro sp3 system (1st app install after anti-virus and firewall), the cs3 install took about 10 minutes. very fast very smooth.

Cannot install photoshop CS3!!

Hello there. I currently have Windows vista installed on a laptop. I recently tried to install Photoshop Extended. However, when it get's to "initializing Adobe Photoshop" It just stops...nothing pops up. I had it installed on my computer before then I had to restore my computer using recovery cds. I was able to install Adobe After Efects but can't install photoshop CS3. It has an entry in my add/remove program in control panel but when I click uninstall nothing happens.

yeah, i had the same problem as you too, but i got it fixed =]
I think this happens because we uninstalled photoshop incorrectly
heres how i did it, its kinda risky though...
go to your start and click on run and type in "regedit"
then from the beginning of your registry (by this i mean go all the way top of your registry and click on your My Computer) hold ctrl+f and search for "photoshop"
delete (the folder) everything that is related to adobe products (careful though, some registry are not related to adobe...)
just press F3 to search next...
you might want to try other search terms, i used "cs3" and "adobe" but the bad thing about this is a lot of other adobe products show up
hope this helps...
oh yeah.. i am on windows xp, but i think on vista should be the same...

Trouble installing Photoshop CS3

I've just recently had a clean install on my Apple iMac. I'm now re-installing all the software that I need. I'm having a problem installing Photoshop CS3. I have the folder, the serial number, and its on the list of products registered with Adobe. How do I install?

If your lucky, using the photoshop cs3 unistaller in the Applications>Utilites>Adobe Installers>Add or Remove Adobe Photoshop CS3
might work for unistalling cs3.
Then doing a fresh install from the dvd or downloader installer might work.
If not, then you'll have to download and run the CC Cleaner Tool
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then search around on your hard drive (check especially hard drive>library>application support adobe, as well as Applications)
and remove all the bits you can find, then reinstall from your original installation media.
Do you have any later versions of photoshop like cs4 already installed?
