You can use the CS3Clean script:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401574
It's designed for removing beta versions, but should also
work with the
final release. Read the instructions carefully. The script
will remove
all CS3 programs on your computer.

Uninstalled Dreamweaver CS3 now can't reinstall

I decided to uninstall Dreamweaver CS3, and reinstall. The
only thing it installs now is the shared components, not the
Dreamweaver CS3 application!

Yes, you require an internet connection.

Uninstall using the Add or Remove Programs system control panel
Download the installer from the Adobe site directly or using this method
Install it on the new machine

Can't Uninstall Flash CS3 Professional

Yes I've looked around the web and Adobe forums. There's a whole mess of things I'm trying to fix right now so I might as well start from top and keep it compact. Scroll down to where it says "Let's recap" if you wanna get a summary of my technical issues. It may scare away some of you, but please at least someone respond. (ps all links are put here purposefully by me)
I joined a site called newgrounds and became fascinated by flash movies there. I found a link which lead me to Flash CS3 Professional free trial download page. I installed the program without a single problem. But after installation & restarting I couldn't find flash in there at all instead I found these (screenshot). I asked for help on newgrounds, and got advice to install CS4 instead. First I attempted to uninstall CS3, but it will only let me uninstall the Flash Player 9 ActiveX Component and not the program. I looked this up and the solution seemed to be CS3Clean Script. However I have two problems: first off I can't backup my files like recommended because the backup drive doesn't have enough room, which means 7.63GB out of 10GB is somehow being used (screenshot). If I decided to run CS3Clean Script without backing up my data I'd get a message telling me I need to install Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. (screenshot) Which leads me to my second problem. When I run the file to install "Windows Installer CleanUp" (just downloaded) I get this error. What does it mean? Because I am on the Administrator's account so I don't understand why I don't have privileges.
That's all of it!
Let's recap:
+Can't Uninstall "Flash CS3 Professional" Trial
+Can't use "CS3Clean Script" to Uninstall Flash unless "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" is installed
+Can't Install "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" because of this error
Minor-ish problem slightly related---> Can't back up data in case something else goes wrong!
ps Did I scare any of y'all away yet?

Can't Uninstall Dreamweaver!

This is ridiculous. After having issues getting setup.exe to
start (had to set explorer as my default browser for it to work;
don't ask me why), I now have a problem where I can't re-install
dreamweaver as it thinks dreamweaver is already installed. I've
removed absolutely all application files (including those in
Documents & Settings, and those scattered amongst the program
files folder including associations in the 'Common' folder)
including performing a full system search for files & folders
including the word dreamweaver, additionally, I've used regseeker
to scan the registry for all keys including the word, or somehow
associated with the word dreamweaver (over 1000 registry keys
gone).
All that and I still can't install Dreamweaver CS3. Here's a
screenshot of what I'm getting as my error...
http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/5600/dwnw9.png
I'm guessing there's probably some kind of hidden DLL in the
windows directory which although doesn't contain the word
dreamweaver in the name, is probably associated with dreamweaver
and so the setup.exe probably checks for that file.
Would anyone happen to know how I can either satisfy this
setup.exe or some how force it to install?

Now aren't I just fantastic, 99,000 google searches later, I
manage to work it myself without the help of any resource. I
decided to run Filemon which monitors file access by applications.
I started capturing activity after I launched setup.exe and stopped
it once I saw the dreamweaver currently installed error (screenshot
in original post). At first glance I didn't see anything unusual,
but then I noticed that setup.exe had accessed a file named caps.db
quite a lot which was located in C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
I decided to remove the whole folder as caps.db was the only
thing inside the 'caps' folder. I then restarted setup.exe and bam,
no error. I'm currently installing dreamweaver now. If I don't post
back here, it means deleting caps.db hasn't affected any other
adobe applications, otherwise, I'll probably post back and let you
know :)
I hope this helps someone else as after googling, I'd found a
few others experiencing the same thing but with photoshop (it's all
very much the same).

How can I activate Dreamweaver CS3 on a second Apple Mac when the original Mac has gone wrong?

I have Dreamweaver CS3.
I have used it on my laptop and my desktop Macs.
In the past, I have simply deactivated it on one Mac to use it on the other.
My laptop, which has Dreamweaver activated on it, has a graphics card problem and is in for repair.
I cannot use the Dreamweaver installed on my desktop computer because I cannot de-activate it on the laptop (which is being repaired by Apple and which Apple say they can't access to de-activate it, because there is no screen display).
This is obviously going to be a future problem if one of the Macs blows up while Dreamweaver is activated on it. I will not be able to use the Dreamweaver I bought nor service my website.
Help! ?

You could always download the trial version until the laptop is fixed. But, I don't know if you can even save a file from CS5 that would be compatible in 3. It is sucky to not have the single user, two activation license. This is one of the things I applaud Adobe for. Most major software licenses are meant for a single machine, and not so concerned about users - that they know it's unlikely that several users would share a machine.it does happen, but it's also quite an inconvenience. The two activation solution takes into account a more realistic scenario for a single user. The other option being used with some programs is the dongle, which I also like, even though many others don't for various and valid reasons. Anyway, I just looked at a page in cs4 and it doesn't really save in any particular version, HTML is HTML. I just don't know what will happen if someone goes to open it in CS3 - will it open less any CS4 code, not open, erase the code on save? Will it be the same for 5? Just wondering as you may be able to use the trial.

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:

Need to uninstall Dreamweaver cs3, but don't want to lose my files

Need to uninstall and reinstall Dreamweaver cs3. How do I do that without losing my files? I only have one website and a couple of dozen files related to it.Dreamweaver support forum

Your files are in a separate folder on your computer, not in the DW folder, so they should be safe.
If your site is live, your files are also on the server, and can be downloaded later if necessary.
DW simply allows you to edit those files by means of your site definition which tells DW where to find those files. Before uninstalling DW, export your site definition (an STE file) to a safe place on your computer for later import into your next DW installation.
Use the cleaner tool before installing your new DW.

Cannot Uninstall Dreamweaver CS3

I could not uninstall Dreamweaver using Windows XP "Remove Programs". When I click "Remove" nothing would happen, so I tried running the Adobe Clean Up utility.
Then when I clicked "Remove", it said it had already been removed and asked if I wanted to remove it from the list. I did. Now I don't know how to uninstall it.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Doug Collins

Hello Doug Collins,
maybe I list here wellknown examples how to remove programs (my hints are translated from my German WIN):
Adobes remove program: As we can see it "means" all is deleted. So you should have a look at
Windows Control Panel (Systemsteuerung): Because of above, presumably also unsuccessful.
File manager: Search in your Adobe directory for your CS3, maybe there are remaining some files of it. And after that go to
WIN regedit.exe (the sledgehammer approach): If DW has clearly left its mark, you will find them there. Use search function, BUT be careful by deleting. in any case save your regedit first!
Good luck!

Can someone with Dreamweaver cs3 open a cs5 file?

Hi:
Work just upgraded me to DreamWeaver CS5 but I work on files that I share with another web author and they have DreamWeaver CS3. If I edit a file and save it in DreamWeaver 5, will the other author be able to open the file in DreamWeaver CS3? I have not loaded my new software at work yet because I was afraid there might be a problem. This is our work intranet so I need to be careful I don't screw the site up. We save our files with the extension .shtml.
Thanks
Jeff

Yes, provided you use DW's Check In/Check Out feature so that you don't overwrite each other's work.
There are no proprietary file formats like Microsoft Office.
HTML code is HTML code and can be read by any human being or text editor.
The only caveats are if you use emerging technologies such as HTML5. CS5 can handle that but CS3 will struggle.

Help inserting js into dreamweaver cs3

I have been using MS Publisher (yeah I know) to design my web pages but now I am slowly learning Dreamweaver CS3. I am redoing a site within which I have used some forms created with Coffeecup Webform Bilder. It took me a bit to figure out how to insert the js code in DW but I got it working. However, the next day when I went to create another page with another CCWFB form I followed the same steps and the form would not work. THEN I went and checked the form from the day before and it was no longer working. I keep seeing "FORM OBJECT" rather than the form. Please help!
This is a Linux server.
Here is what I have done.
Uploaded all supporting files with CCWFB to the same folder that the web page is located. Also used DW to upload the files just on a lark and no joy.
Double and triple and quadruple checked that the files were in the correct directory. Even loaded them in to other directories just reaching for a solution. No joy. Also tried testing locally with all supporting files in the same local directory with the same "FORM OBJECT" result.
Inserted the code below that was created with CCWFB into DW via the insert script option.
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script><div id="CC6725558">Form Object</div><script type="text/javascript">var so = new SWFObject("msps_application_formdw.swf", "msps_application_formdw.xml", "548", "500", "7,0,0,0", "#ffffff");so.addParam("classid", "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000");so.addParam("quality", "high");so.addParam("scale", "noscale");so.addParam("salign", "lt");so.addParam("FlashVars", "xmlfile=msps_application_formdw.xml&w=548&h=500");so.write("CC6725558");</script>
Created a CSS that positions the object at the bottom of the page. I have eliminated this step in previous attempts with the same results. Not sure why it would matter really but I have been grasping at straws for two days now.
As mentioned the results are that I get "FORM OBJECT" on the web page rather than the form. It acts like the files are not where they should be. I must be doing something stupid and just don't remember really how I had it working.
The page is www.mdperfusion.com/joinmsps.html
The script is in the code and the form should be at the bottom of the page.
On another odd note, when I insert PayPal code using noscript it works locally but not when on the server???? Could there be a common factor...other than then noob user ... in these two problems. Everything elese works perfectly.
Thank you for your help in advance!
Jim

So here is my code for the page. Maybe this would help determine why the form is not showing. The script code is at the bottom of the page.
Thanks again for looking.

Can't uninstall dreamweaver and photoshop 32 bit from windows 64bit

I have dreamweaver and photoshop cs6 installed on windows 7 in the c:\program files (x86) folder. I want to remove it, but it won't work.
The cleaner tool also doesn't list these files and in the program manager of windows 7 I also can't uninstall it. What should I do, can I uninstall it manually?
I think it has something to do with the 32bit vs 64 bit versions of adobe dreamweaver cs6 on my pc.

Hi Rusido,
If the products are uninstall from Programs & features>> Uninstall a program then you can manually delete the folders.
Thanks!

Help! Can't uninstall Photoshop CS3

Had several problems with my workhorse Photoshop CS3, so I decided it was time to reinstall a clean version. Followed uninstall instructions as far as deactivation (which I later learned was unnecessary), but the uninstaller/installer in my utilities folder does nothing . . . except lie there like a dead fish. Adobe won't suport this version, so I came here to forums, but didn't find the exact question answered. Apologies for taking up time and space if it is there and I'm just too dumb to find it. I'm working on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.4. I did try installing the cleaner tool, but it appears not to work either. Yes, I just now thought about restarting my computer and will do that while I wait for some kind soul to lend me a hand here. Thanks.

Hi Curt,
Well I finally fixed the problem, in a very convoluted way. I loaded Photoshop CS3 from the disk, then I went to my utilities folder and used the new uninstaller to remove, apparently, part of the problem. The uninstaller promptly vanished again. I went to Photoshop and tried to open it . . . the serial number and activation code were already entered in the boxes which made me think the old corrupted version was still there. I tried to open an image, Photoshop started loading and I got a "fatal error" page. Having no better ideas I tried installing it from the disk again, and duplicated the uninstall app which just created another alias, and duplicated the other item in the folder which generated an alias for the Setup app, then I clicked on the Setup alias and it launched a different installation program which offered the choice of installing, or reinstalling Photoshop CS3--an option I hadn't been given before. So I clicked on reinstall and it took at least twice as long as the previous installation. Lo and behold, I clicked on an image and Photoshop loaded without asking for any serial number or activation code, and it seems to be working. I checked on the two things that had been causing me problems, and both worked flawlessly. I don't necessarily recommend this to anyone who has the same problem unless they, like me, have tried everything else and have nothing else to lose. If the Cleanup tool worked properly, it would undoubtedly be easier that way. Thanks very much for your help,
Victoria

Please help -can't uninstall or install iTunes - Error code 2330

I tried to open up iTunes 9.1.1 today and got a message that windows was trying to configure iTunes. Midway through, i got an error message: "An error occurred while attempting to create directory: C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\iTunes\SC info.
So i then tried to download the new version of iTunes (9.2), and got a message that "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2330."
Then I followed the trouble shooting steps on the support site - deleted the Temp folder and then tried to uninstall 9.1.1. I received the same 2330 error message.
Doing a search of error 2330 on this forum, I saw people recommending running a Chkdsk which I did. This repaired some errors, but it didn't help with the installation, I got the same error message.
I have tried to call Apple support but apparently they don't support iTunes unless you're running it on a MAC. I'm upset and frustrated and at my wits end. I know next to nothing about computers, which doesn't help ;o) I'd be grateful for any suggestions...

Many thanks.
Okay, either the SCInfo directory (or the iTunes directory above it) has gotten damaged in some way. iTunes is detecting that when you try to launch it, and it is trying to do a repair install in order to try to repair the damage. But the damage in your case is enough to stop the repair install from going through. The same damage will be stuffing up the attempts to uninstall/reinstall/update iTunes.
There's an alternate strategy we can try to get around this in cases where chkdsk can't fix the damage. But first we're going to have to adjust some view settings on the PC, because your damage is lurking down in directories that are hidden by default on Windows XP systems.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Now we'll see to the file.
In My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Documents and Settings" folder.
Open the "All users" folder.
Open the "Application Data" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Rename the "iTunes" folder "iTunesOLD".
Restart the PC. Now try launching iTunes again. Does the repair install go through properly this time?
(If the iTunes Setup Assistant runs, don't add files to your library. Otherwise you may end up with a lot of duplicates in your library.)
If you get iTunes launching again, check to see if any purchased music is still playing, and if any iPods/iPhones/AppleTVs etc are connecting properly. (We've forced iTunes to rebuild configuartion files and an iPodDevices.xml that affect some iTunes DRM/authorisation-related and device-connection-related machinery. So I reckon it's possible you might at least need to reauthorise some songs or apps or games after iTunes launches again.)
