Error When Installing InDesign CS3 - Trial

Hello,
I am on a Compaq PC with vista.
Yesterday I downloaded the trial version of InDesign and tried to install it. It only installed the "shared components" and I got a failure message for everything else. I called tech support - which didn't go very well. They just said I should purchase the software.....(which I would love to do after I make sure it works and is what I need.
I installed successfully the trial version on my husbands computer today -- and ideas on why it won't install on my brand new computer...
Thanks for your wisdom!!

The InDesign Windows-forum would probably be a better place for Your question, this forum is dedicated to InDesign Scripting-matters.

  • Error message when installing Indesign CS3 trial. I need help ASAP

    I have searched the forums and adobe.com and have tried everything that I saw. None of it worked for me. I have tried and tried to install Indesign CS3 trial. I keep getting the error message: Indesign has encountered a problem and must close.
    I have windows XP and plenty of RAM. What can the problem be? I have done everything I can think of to do. I added more memory and did everything the forums said to try. I really need this for my class. I am getting behind. I cannot afford to buy the program. Please help!!!!!
    Thank you,
    Teddy

    If you scroll down you'll see there's Windows info there, too. Aside from being sure the fonts are activated, you might try renaming the Sing folder, which should be in Program Files\Common\Adobe.
    You could also try Help > Configure Plugins and disable the Sing.apln, but I don't know how you can get there if the program won't start. Maybe going to the Adobe InDesign CS3\Plug-Ins\Text folder and changing the name from SING.apln to SING.bak would do the trick.
    If it's really the SING problem, that ought to fix it, but you won't be able to work with Oriental languages.

  • Error when installing Adobe XI Trial

    Hello,
    I get "The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem.  The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid.  Please contact the application author." error when I try to install Adobe XI.
    How can I fix this? My windows 7 computer has Illustrator C6, InDesign C6, Media Encoder C6, Extension Manager CS6, ExtendScript Toolkit CS6, Creative Cloud, Content Viewer, and Bridge CS6 Adobe products on it, if this info helps.

    If by "Adobe XI" you mean Acrobat, I suggest that you ask in the Acrobat forum.

  • No Internet conectivity/clock error when installing FB4.7 (trial)

    I follow these steps:
    Install as trial-> (License) Accept -> Sign In Required (Click Sign In) [here I get the error: "Please connect to the Internet and retry: Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly"]
    I've tried the "Connect Later" option that continues the installation procedure until the end, but when I try to open FB4.7 I get stuck at exactly the same point; it asks me to sign in and I get the same conectivity error.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Srikishan,
    Thanks for your fast answer.
    I installed MaxDB DMB GUI from the directory:  \NWABAPTRIAL70206_64\MAXDBTOOLS
    and logged in with username u201Ccontrolu201D and used the password I gave in the installation.
    This was new for me and I learned something new about database management. Thank you for that.
    I solved the error but it was just a really stupid mistake from me.
    A friend told me once that when installing Netweaver I have to put the date in the future so that the license wonu2019t expire . So before I installed Netweaver I set the date to 2099.
    That was the problem, when I didnu2019t do that then there was no error message.
    Again thanks for helping.
    Regards, Robin

  • 1603 error when installing inDesign...help

    1603 error: Fatal error during installation. I installed InDesign CS4 on my new computer. Tuned off firewall and antivirus. Restarted computer. All programs closed. Tried several times and still get the error. I can run the program but some features are missing.

    Peter,
    Can't get back into the discussion to give you an approval.
    I did go to "uninstall or change a program" and was able to run the
    troubleshooter. The program seems OK, but will have to use to see what
    is missing. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm signed into the discussion
    but don't know how to conclude as there is no reply button.

  • Error Installing InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT

    Hello there-
    I'm trying to install InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT (x64) Edition, however, we get a failure indication on the installer. Before, we have installed it properly on Windows Server 2008 R2 32BIT (x32) but some how we cannot proceed on a x64 box.
    Is there any limitation on this sense? Any documentation about it?
    Thanks and appreciate your answers.

    The following command can be used to set the parameter from the command prompt, please
    change the directory to Windows\System32\inetserv and then execute the command.

    The value is only an example, in this case the upload limit is set to 150MB.Server has to be restarted

    Also, are you using Maxdb to store the files or is it a "flat files" content server  ?

  • Installing InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks

    Installation of InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
    This question is Not Answered.
    s c perks Oct 14, 2014 6:04 AM
    1. I have InDesign CS3, which I bought about 6 years ago, and installed on my MacBook Pro. I have now got a new Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I bought the machine I asked Apple if I would be able to install my InDesign and they said there would be no problem. But it will not install. The intsllation fails every time near the end. It installs Bridge and one other components, both of which it calls shared components. But InDesign is not installed.
    I went to the Adobe web site and looked up what to do. I got to a page that had my product on and it seemed to be telling make I must download an installer. When I clicked on this link, however I got a page with the following message:
    HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    I do not know what to do now.
    2. If I do download an installer (I did not need to do this when I first installed the programme on my lap top MacBook Pro 6 years ago, but just installed it from the disc), how do I get rid of the downloader afterwards, since I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that I should get rid of the installer afterwards but that I should not put it in the trash bin?
    Thank you for any help you can give me.
    Stephen Perks

    Many thanks for your help. I will try this. After posting this question yesterday I contacted Adobe and was astonished to find that they do not sell InDesign and do not support it and that one can only upgrade to monthly or yearly rental of CreativeCloud. I'm afraid for me this is nonsense, and I consider it very bad practice on Adobe's part. I will have to go to QuarkExpress instead if I cannot install Indesign CS3, which I nearly did do 6 years ago, but after reading such good reviews of InDesign and got it. I wish now I'd got Quark! I appreciate your help.

  • Installed Photoshop CS3 trial, now previous Photoshop 7 won't work

    I've downloaded and installed PS CS3 trial and given it a go but decided to stick with version 7 as it's still doing everything I need.
    So when the trial period on CS3 has expired I've uninstalled it but now Photoshop 7 won't run. I get this message a few seconds after I click on the PS icon . ..
    "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred due to a program error. Photoshop will now exit"
    I've reinstalled PS7 several times to no avail.
    Since I installed the CS3 trial I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard - maybe this is the cause!
    Any idea's how I can get PS7 working again?
    Cheers

  • TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
