Flash CS3 trial setup won't work

I downloaed from the Adobe website the trial version of Flash
CS3. However, when I click on the setup exe file the setup screen
shows for a couple of seconds then disappears. Has anyone else
experienced this? My operating system is Vista Home Premium.

Uninstall it, do a reboot, then after you come back from the
reboot, erase the files in c:/program files/adobe/flash cs3/
directory.
Then reinstall flash cs3, works for me if silly things like
that happen.

  • Flash CS3 trial version - Dreamweaver 8 won't work anymore

    I recently installed the trial version of Flash CS3. It
    worked fine, but after the 30 day evaluation period, Dreamweaver 8,
    an app I've had installed for a few years now ceases to work. It
    loads up, then immediately crashes. Prior to that, both apps worked
    fine concurrently.
    I uninstalled the Flash CS3 trial version. Still, Dreamweaver
    8 crashes.
    I found the CS3Clean Script, ran that, and Dreamweaver 8
    still crashes.
    I'm positive this has something to do with the 30 day
    evaluation period, because I was using Dreamweaver fine yesterday.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    I've tried re-installing Dreamweaver along with the 8.0.2
    update and still get the same results.
    I have Flash 8 installed already, if that helps.
    Thanks.

    This really depends on what exactly you want to do.
    To export Photos from iPhoto to the Finder just use the Export command: file -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    But this will not save you any disk space unless you also delete the photos from iPhoto.
    If you want to move the Library to a flash drive: first make sure it's big enough.
    Then make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the Flash Drive.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Can't get rid of Flash CS3 Trial !

    I did a search first, no real solutions in prior posts that I
    could see. Searched the rest of Adobe too.. no solutions found that
    apply.
    In January I downloaded and installed the Flash CS3 Trial.
    I'm not going to buy it, so now that the trial has expired, I want
    it OFF my machine. I ran it thru the usual Add/Remove Programs.
    Well, my machine rebooted (I was doing something else at the time
    and never did see any prompts to reboot from the installer
    program), but when it came back up the Flash CS3 trial
    was still there ! So, I tried the add/remove again - only
    this time the only thing it would uninstall are the Flash Player
    and the Flash Player 9 ActiveX component ! NO choice to get rid of
    the actual program.
    What do I have to do to get this program OFF my hard drive ?
    There's no other uninstall program, the add/remove programs is
    useless, and the only thing even close for getting rid of it was
    some CS3clean script - which was apparently meant for deleting the
    early BETA versions.
    How can Adobe NOT supply an uninstall mechanism other than
    add/remove programs - most other software I've ever used does
    !!

    Thanks, wasn't sure about that. It's not a problem, Flash CS3
    is the ONLY CS3 product on my machine. I have Studio 8 currently
    installed, and CS2 Suite too, so hopefully that won't be trashed.

  • BT Vision setup won't work, keep getting Error Mes...

    I have just recieved my new BT Vision box, I already had a BT phone and broadband (with BT HomeHub), with no problems in service with them, and thought the offer from BT Vision was great, but now have noticed several people on this forum having problems with their service, some of their problems are similar to mine; my BT Vision setup won't work, it will not start let alone complete the setup process, I keep getting Error Message CO3.
    It tells me to check my broadband is working; it is. It tells me to check any Powerline adapters are correctly setup, but I'm not using them, because my broadband hub is close to my TV. It tells me to check my cables are connected; they all are, and it tells me to restart my Hub and Vision+ box which I've done several times and achieved no satisfactory result.
    I placed my order on Tue 22 Feb 2011, recieved my equipment on Thu 24 Feb 2011, and was told it would be activated the same day, I only decided to plug it all in and set it up earlier today; Fri 25 Feb 2011. I tried sorting out the problem over the phone earlier, speaking to someone in CustomerCare, and they said it would be activated and working by midnight of 25/02/2011- (before the morning of 26/06/2011), but it isn't.
    I will give my BT phone number only to a BT employee who can actually help me, and get things done.
    The account and order is in my wife's name, but I am the more technically minded, and less easily stressed individual, so would appreciate any advice or assistance you could give.
    P.S. I occasionally, but rarely, have seen other Error Messages such as Error Message CO1.

    Hi Nahar-Hewitt,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.  I am sorry that you are not yet able to use your BT Vision service.
    The C03 error message can indicate that the order on our system has not yet completed.  This would explain why your service is not working.  Are you still getting this message when trying to use Vision?  If so then I can help.
    Please drop me an email to the email address in my profile. (click on my name and you will find the address under the "about me" section). Include your BT account details and the link to this thread.
    Cheers

  • Problem openning + setting up Flash cs3 trial

    I get an error when i open ADBEFLPRCS3_WWE.EXE (Flash cs3 )
    this is the picture:
    My
    Error i get when i open the Flash cs3 setup, please click image to
    get a better view.
    And please zoom in to the picture to see the error ( just
    click the image)
    It comes up with an error! Ive already downloaded flash mx
    2004 and flash 8.
    Hopefully you can help!

    The fix: Change the namespace on the second line of <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml
    FROM:   <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.6">
    TO:   <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/13.0">
    A brief and incomplete background:
    The file <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml is the ‘application descriptor file’. When using the project files downloaded with the tutorial (that contained the 3.6 reference), the builder did not find this compatible with the configuration on my computer (a trial version I installed today - 5/3/2014 - and patched according to the tutorial). I never did figure out how to lookup valid namespaces and am still confused about how all the sdk’s relate to each other. I stumbled upon this solution by creating a fresh new project and found that the namespace specified by the new project wizard was “13.0” on this line of this file.

  • Flash 8 Trial setup issue

    Upon setup of Macromedia Flash 8 Trial I get the following:
    InstallShield Wizard Completed
    The wizard was interrupted before Macromedia Flash 8 could be
    completely installed.
    Your system has not been modified. To complete installation
    at another time, please run setup again.
    Click Finish to exit the wizard.
    I get this same error every time I run the installer. I've
    tried the MSFT KB article on degreg and rereging the Windows
    Installer (this error killed it so I had to, the service wouldn't
    start after the first time this happened) and have done all windows
    updates to ensure I have the latest.

    What you mean by "real answer" ? There is not many choices
    here actually.
    The bottom line, you can't get Flash 8. That's the only
    answer.
    Adobe do not distribute old version of its applications so
    you won't have a chance to
    try unless someone share his/her copy with you. Also when
    comes to purchase, your only
    choice will be ebay or some other second hand items place, as
    above, you can't buy
    old versions of software from adobe, only latest release.

  • Flash CS3 trial installation failure when Flash 8 Pro installed

    I am trying to install the trial version of Flash CS3 on my
    PC.
    The installation fails to install Flash CS3 or Shared
    Components. I currently have a fully licensed copy of Flash 8
    Professional installed on the same PC. Is there some reason I can't
    do this?
    I am trying to see if we want to upgrade to CS3 by checking
    out the improvements/features etc. Sure, I could go ahead and spend
    the $200 but we may not need the improvements.
    Presumably there would be no problem upgrading to CS3 and
    that the problem is caused by the fact I am trying to install a
    full version trial rather than an upgrade.
    Can anybody confirm that this is the case?
    One of the things I wanted to test with CS3 is the
    possibility of loading a Flex .swf into a Flash shell to be able to
    run as an executable. We are not currently in the market for AIR
    which will allow that. We are just trying to add the ability to run
    our code as a stand-alone.
    Any help/comments appreciated.
    TIA
    Colin

    Certain components install with no problem. Adobe Bridge CS3,
    Adobe Device Central CS3, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 and Adobe
    Flash CS3 Video Encoder are installed. But Flash itself and the
    Shared Components are not installed.
    The problem with AIR is that I would need CS3 installed to
    use it. So I can't check that out yet either :-(

    CS3 will install in an Adobe Folder, so, no conflict.
    2) AIR is free, so not being in the market makes no sense. It
    is an 'extension' to Flash CS3 or Flex or Dreamweaver, that can be
    downloaded.

  • Can't Install Flash CS3 Trial

    Hi everyone -
    I'm new to Flash - in my quest to find a tool where I can
    develop rich internet application, or rich applications for that
    matter I decided to download the trial version of Flash CS3.
    But I can't seem to be able to install it no matter what I
    do.
    I downloaded the trial version (Windows - 403.71 MB). I
    extracted the file 'ADBEFLPRCS3_WWE.exe' and ran the setup.exe, the
    installation screen saying 'loading setup' opens for a second and
    then disappears - I don't have any application running when when I
    start the installation - and the only Adobe software I have in my
    machine is adobe writer/ reader.
    OS: Windows Professional with plenty of space and memory.
    Has anyone experienced the same issue and can help me.....I
    want to evaluate the software and then make a decision for
    purchase.
    Please Help
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion...
    But I never had to reinstall the OS in order to install an
    application, that seems a little bit extreme.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Pro CC Debug won't work correctly

    Hello. I am using trial version of Flash Pro CC and I think it's a glitch.
    If there are multiple layers that have own frame script and run Debut(ctrl + alt + enter ), debug won't work correctly.
    for example there are 2 layers on main stage Layer A and Layer B..
    Layer A has  this one trace script,
    trace("1");
    Layer B has those 2 trace scripts.
    trace("2");
    trace("3);
    And I put breakpoint  on trace("1"); of Layer A, and run Debug and use "Step In"  to run all scripts manually.
    And if trace("1");  is finished, you are supposed to  get to trace("2"); but instead you will get to trace("3"); in this case.
    I mean little yellow arrow, which tells me what script is running right now, is marked on trace("3");.. not on trace("2");
    It seems Flash pro CC thinks Layer A's trace("1");  == Layer B's trace("2"). He can't recognize Layer A and Layer B are different.
    I think it's a glitch. Does anybody notice this glitch?

    Does anybody notice this glitch?  I want to check if it's really a glitch or not before using newest version of Flash CC.
    If it's a glitch, I will stick with CS6.

  • Flash CS3 swf quality on dvd work flow

    I have a larage movie that will not export out of flash in avi it stops work windowsexporterserver.exe stops working and it stops. i want the quality i see in swf file and windows exe projector file on dvd and the web Ihave tried everything

The avi uncompressed file is over 4 gig not usable. All of the other codecs of mpeg stop working unknown error.
    So when I import flash .swf  into premiere pro CS4 and then try to export to  any of the mpeg file types which are suggested the best for dvd and the web the windowsexpoerterexe stops working and the exports stops.
    In premiere I try the send direct to encore cs4 and encode stops unknown error
    How do I get the quality I see in the .swf and the windows projector.exe onto a dvd
    You can see what I have been able to post so far on line but the quality is just not acceptable http://owensarchitects.com/cherokeeoverview.htm
    and the DVD version I have been able to produce is even worse so what I missing

    Hello all,

  • What happened to Quicktime use on FACEBOOK? Now everything sent to FLASH (which, of course, won't work) on iPad?

    I used to be able to play videos that I made &amp; posted on my Wall (on Facebook). When you tapped on them, you'd see the Quicktime "Q" briefly show up and the video would play right there on your Wall. Now, all videos are directed to another page that indicates the need for FLASH which we all know WON'T work on an iPad!? What changed? And why? Or am I missing something - or doing something wrong? Do I need to make any setting changes on the iPad?

  • Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

    I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period.  I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail.  Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.
