How to uninstall Flash CS3
I have F7/F8 installed and I recently tried the CS3 trial
version but now I want to uninstall it ... BUT HOW???
I went to add/remove progs (winXP) and clicked on remove CS3
and it starts up the installer. But it only gives me a choice to
remove "some components of CS3" namely the F9 acitvex player and
the video encoder. I dont want to remove the F9 player as I am
using it in other applications (like Flex etc) the encoder can go
but there is no option to remove the whole of CS3.
Since it seemed to consume a few hundred megs when I
installed it I am desperate to remove it as I am short of disk
space
ANyone got an answer??
Thanks
There is a program Adobe created that will uninstall it. It
is a seperate download, if you search in the forum you will find
several links and uninstall docs. If you are using Windows XP,
check to see if there was a restore point created before the trial
was installed. If so, restore to the previous restore point before
the trial was installed. This will ONLY remove the registry
entries, you can then remove the files manually.
I would still use the add/remove option in control panel and
select the video encoder because if you aren't going to use the
Flash program then you don't need that anyway. I am not so sure
that it wont uninstall the main IDE software, I am not sure if you
tried to uninstall or just got to the checkbox point.
I actually uninstalled the trial software completely,
uninstalled all the plugins and encoders. I still have Studio 8 and
all the encoders and software was still installed after I
uninstalled the CS3 trials. I would have had to reinstalled the
flash plugin for IE and FF again but that only takes a few minutes.
I did go and look, after the uninstaller completed and all the
software that was installed in the program files/Adobe folder was
completely gone. I mean the CS3 trials and folders were removed.
Yes, I did do a reinstall of the full version once it arrived
but I went through the same process everyone else seems to have
gone through to remove the trials. It did work on my system, the
removal. Took forever and had to uninstall every one of the
software individually, that was a pain but it worked.
I hope this helped, if not I tried.
Thanks.

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?trimi-jareck wrote:

Clear all registry entries manually, folders and directories
then do the
installation all over again.

anyone has got the answer ?? i downloaded the trial version
of Adobe Flash CS3 from adobe.com and now i want to uninstall it.
As i try to uninstall it whoaaaaa ... i can't. It asks for the
original installation media. I even tried buring the setup files on
a CD but still keeps on asking for the CD.
This problem is applicable for all the CS3 products. I dont
know what's wrong with CS3s.
Dont suggest me to re-install the whole OS again.
Please anyhow I just want to uninstall CS3. It's been
something like dream for me now.. i wonder how can i uninstall ...
how can i ???I checked my specs, and everything seems to be fine. The only things it doesn't meet are the recommendations for Adobe SpeedGrade, which I don't plan on using.

How to set Flash CS3 "custom" classspath
Hello Flash Forum,
I am following a tutorial on how to create a class. this
class requires a package like: todd.interactive (a tutorlal from
Lynda.com)
I have created my on dir where I keep fla files: D:\Flash\,
and then have created the following dir structure under
D:\Flash\classes\todd\interactive. In the interactive folder
I have placed a MyCustomClass.as file which extends the MovieClip
class. (I am copying the tutorial, but using a diff name for the
class).
I create a symbol, and attempt to link it (ActionScript 3.0)
to the class file noted above using todd.interactive.MyCustomClass.
I always get an error - cannot find class file - will create
one for you - which it seems never to create anyway.
I have tried putting the file in the Program
Files\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\.... (the default path for Flash) to no
avail.
I have tried to set the classpath using the "settings"
dialog, and the Preferences menu item under "Edit" on the main
menu.if your package is todd.interactive, set your class path to
D:\Flash\classes by navigating to that directory in the settings
dialog and use
import todd.interactive.MyCustomClass in your fla and other
class files that need to access MyCustomClass. -
How to update Flash CS3 Pro...
ok here is my situation
i recently set-up a new machine and just installed Flash CS3
Pro (and FMS 3.0.1.111). It had Flash Player 1.0.115.0 so i
download the update APSB08-11 to install Flash Player 1.0.124.0.
The zip file contained a folder with the Players and following the
instructions i just copied the folder in the installation folder of
Flash CS3.
The problem is that when i test a movie in Flash CS3 Pro and
do some traces in the FMS3 Admin Console i get that Agent is
1.0.115.0.
Any ideas how to successfully update the Flash Player for
Flash CS3 Professional to 9.0.124?
I have to mention that
1. for IE7 ActiveX and Mozilla Plug-in i have Flash Player
version 10.0.2.26
2. FMS3 Admin Console is running with Flash Player version
9.0.124.0
I don't think there are any conflicts because i did some
uninstalls and tried again... It just FMS3 keeps report that agent
is 9.0.115 when testing a movie from inside Flash CS3.
Could it be because i still use the trial version of Flash
CS3 Pro? Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.Not sure I'd want to create something like that in Acrobat.

Hey gents (and ladies),
I've downloaded the Flash CS3 Trial and my 30 day trial has
expired. When I go to uninstall it all I get is the setup
application to uninstall Flash CS3 components. I would like to
remove the whole thing! Not just components. Thanks.Hi, yes, I have an idea. I don't know what platform you are
on, but I use a Mac, and just yesterday I was having problems with
Photoshop CS3 due to the trial I had installed. Nothing worked!!!
Then I found a script on the Adobe site that removed ALL the
CS3 files for me and made things squeeky clean. Here is the link

Hope this helps.

Flash CS3 / Adobe products: crashes or acting erraticly
HI -
I recently posted a thread conserning Flash CS3 deleting the
contents or erroring out my built and working .fla's and .swf's
apon opeing them to edit the .fla's.
Suspected a virus - scanned etc etc.
an Avast boot scan showed a corrupt cab archive avast error
#42127 on a boot scan for a DW20.exe adn 4 or 5 other cab
archives... thes are all related to Visual Basic C# - the DW20 .exe
is for error reporting to MS about crashes. - thsi may be an "avast
error" - but no viruses detected.
I checking my WinXP error logs for a further clue they showed
at the time of Flash CS3 crashing when trying to preview - it was
due to FFMpeg.exe
is this something that flash implements in importing a video
file or perhaps a mpeg?
When these crashes started, i was attempting to import a .wmv
(- which btw - i thought past flash 8 there was no problems with -
it now asks for Direct Show to be installed or Quicktime.?? Maybe
someone can give an answer to this as well My understanding was
that past Flash 8 - this was no longer nessasary - if this is true
- any thoughts as to why CS3 is asking me to install these products
to import or encode a wmv file?
Back to topic: Since attempting to bring in the wmv video
and/or mpeg audio and/or the flv i was experimentiing with
- Flash not only crashes on me when attempting to open any
.fla now.
- but also destroys or corrupts all other .fla's and .swf's
in the same file folder as the one i'm working on.
My questiion is - since ffmeg is not a win exe - is this
something that Flash implements in it's importing of a video or
audio file? or at all.
I have 12 error event crashes listed from Flash - all list
the same:
" faulty application ffmeg.exe
- faulty module: ffmeg.exe
- fault address 0x001be5e3
- event id:1000
anyone have knowledge on how to fix this or what may cause
this -
I mentioned the cab errors because i'mm not sure if one is
related to the other - i had C# installed but removed it from the
comp.
as mentioned in my other post related to this - Photoshop
Lightbox is also acting complety crazy as well - all adobe products
are the ones seemly - that i know of or noticed thus far - the only
products acting up.
I need this issue fixed - as i have to finish my fla! lol
I'd much rather be doing that than trouble shooting crashes
from Flash or other Adobe products acting up.
Any help would really be appriciated since this goes beyond
my skills and knowledge.
thanxSure wish I had a quick fix, but it will take more info than
what you have entered. I was having a lot of trouble also, until I
did the 5 tasks listed below.
1. Is there enough memory for Flash CS3? Setup tells you how
much and if you have enough to install the program.
2. Is there enough storage space for Flash CS3? Again, Setup
tells you how much it needs and if ;you have enough to install the
program.
3. How many files do you have on your hard disk? The amount
of directories and files on your hard disk matters a great deal
when you are installing new programs. I usually go through my c:\
directory and get rid of programs I don't use. I try to keep my
folders and files at the lowest I can get away with.
4. When was the last time you cleaned and defragged the
registry?
This matters a great deal too. If you have an overabundance
of empty registry keys, etc. it can hang up your computer too. I
use RegCure, it's a great program.
5. When was the last time you did a defrag on C:\? Many
people don't realize that just these 5 tasks can have a bad effect
on your hard drive.
It would be a great thing if you uninstall Flash CS3, do
tasks 1-5 and then reinstall Flash CS3. Seems like a lot of work,
but it is extremely important to keep your computer running at its
best.
hope this helps.
