I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows 8 it says "The Installer Database is corrupt"

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC and when I run SETUP.EXE it says "The Installer Database is corrupt" on both my original CD and backup I made.

The error is here:
Dreamweaver CS3 on my new Windows 8 PC
This will most likely never work. CS3 wasn't even fit for Win 7. Delete the caps.db in the respective caps folder (info here) and then take the usual steps of running as admin, turning off UAC and security tools and possibly using compatibility modes, but as I said, be prepared that this may be futile and you spend a Sunday afternoon without achieving anything...

  • Error installing Premiere Pro CS4 - "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service"

    I had to replace my hard drive and so I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS4. I tried to do that with the files I had downloaded before, but the install failed and gave me the error message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service".
    I assumed that the files I downloaded had become corrupt, so I logged on and re-downloaded the ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.7z and ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe files. I ran ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe and it also failed and gave me the same error message. I tried another download from a different page and got the same error again.
    Can anyone suggest what I can do to get my program installed?

  • Trying to install Illustrator CS3 on Windows 8.1 and get error message-installer database is corrupt

    When I try to install Illustrator CS3 on a windows 8.1 machine and get the following error message. " Installer database is corrupt". Have tried rebooting computer etc. and still the same problem, any suggestions?

    BrianDany I am sorry you are facing difficulties installing Creative Suite 3 under Windows 8.1.  Windows 8.1 was not available during the time period which Creative Suite 3 was developed and the last updates released.
    I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log and possibly AMT3lib.log file for error messages which are preventing the installation.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4.  You are welcome to post any specific error messages which you discover to this discussion.

  • Trying to install Dreamweaver cs3

    I've got a brand-new copy of Dreamweaver cs3 and for some reason, it won't load onto my computer. I tried it on another computer and it works okay. The silly thing is, the drives are working okay because I  installed another program just to make sure that the drives are working and that went in okay. I am using an HP media centre pc that's got 2 drives. if I put in the top drive where you can burn CDs, it isn't even recognising the disk. It recognises it in the second disc drive but it doesn't auto run when you put the CD in the drive, and if you open it up manually, it just won't install, nothing happens. Any ideas what is happening because like I said, I installed another program & that went in okay?

  • Installing Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows Xp Sp2

    Hi, I'm having trouble installing the Dreamweaver CS3 trial
    in my Windows XP SP2 machine.
    I dont know if I have an adecuate processor, that seems to me
    its the only one of the requirements I might not complete.
    I have an AMD Athlon 2500+ processor with 1Gig of ram... the
    last Dreamweaver runs smoothly.
    Can someone tell me if this processor is P4 compatible, Xeon,
    CoreDuo, etc. compatible.
    If so, whats the problem with the installation, because it
    begins but shuts down automatically.

    Just like danglyfury said, it decompresses, then a progress
    bar appears, and suddenly it disappears and that's it.
    You guys aren't the only ones having problems. I'm having the
    same exact problems myself. If you take a look at this forum
    thread,
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.3bc3b755/57
    they offer possible solutions for Photoshop CS3 - because the
    installer is the same, the solution works for dreamweaver as well.
    Unfortunately for me, I've tried all of their possible solutions,
    no luck. It baffles me why Adobe would package all their new
    software with such a buggy installer. Anyhow, if anyone has any
    other suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

  • Photoshop CS4 Install: "The Installer Database is corrupt.  Please contact Adobe Customer Service"

    I am installing on a brand new HP PC with Win 7/64.  I have already deleted all CAPS DBs and still no progress.  Has anyone been successful in installing this in Win 7/64 or am I just screwed and need to fork over anothetr grand right now to my Adobe masters?  Their support facility dumped me here...
    I do and have had it installed on my Win 7/64 laptop for over a year with no issues.  Simply replaced my desktop and installing copy 2 on it per license.

    I'm guessing that your new PC came pre loaded with some later versions of adobe Elements or Premiere?  I had to uninstall everything Adobe.  I had a newer version of Premiere installed and that was what was causing the issue.  Once I uninstalled Premiere and the rest of the installed Adobe components using the windows installer (in control panel), I deleted the Adobe directory in Program Files.  I then restarted the PC and retried the install.  It worked just fine after that.  Adobe also has a "cleaner" tool that is referred to in the post by kglad above.  It didn't work for me but it's worth a shot to save you having to uninstall everything.
    Hope that this helps!

  • TS3212 I have a new computer, a HP with windows 8. I try to install itunes and get error. Says the installer has encountered an enexpected error installing thics package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2503.

    I'm having problems installing Itines on my new computer with Windows 8. I always get problem with install. the error code is 2503. How do I correct this?

    Although you're getting a different error message, perhaps try the procedure from the following user tip:

  • Problems installing Dreamweaver CS3

    Hi, I've been trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my Vista
    computer, home premium and I've already spent numerous hours
    installing and uninstalling the product!
    The problem is that the installer fails to install Adobe Cue
    Client CS3.
    I've googled the problem and found that logs were generated
    on a gzip file on C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
    as i've read here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401401&sliceId=1
    All anti-virus (NOD32) and firewalls (COMODO) are disabled.
    Like the page suggests I've uninstalled all products from
    Adobe, except Acrobat 8 and and run the CS3cleaner scripts provided
    by you, in level 2, to clean all files from my computer, as a page
    from adobe recommends too.
    I've alse run tried to run the installer as administrator,
    with the same results.
    I provide the install log from Adobe Dreamweaver on link
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/s27cuj,
    from the last PayloadInstaller that failed to install.
    On event manager the error is logged like this:
    quote:
    Product: Adobe Version Cue CS3 Client -- Error 1920.Service
    ##Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762## (Bonjour
    Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient
    privileges to start system services.
    How can I solve this problem??

    I would recommend calling as well. I ran into a similar
    problem on the Mac side and they have information to provide you
    beyond the KB articles. Although I have just decided to do without
    it since I really did not utilize its functionality so if you feel
    the same I would recommend not using the program as well.

  • Cannot install Dreamweaver CS3 on Mac

    I have a MacBook, OS X 10.5.8.  Processor:  2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo  Memory:  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on my Mac and have had no luck.   There is no "Setup" as specified in the help I've found.   There is Setup.exe, but that just opens in TextEdit.   I've tried snooping on the disc but have found nothing that will execute.
    How on earth do I install this software???
    Thank you!
    Paula

    Well if you recently bought it try returning it or stop payment on your credit card.  All discs from Adobe recently (going back probably to CS2) carry one version or the other.  And given that you just got CS3 tells me the version was purchased off of Ebay, Craigslist or some other form of reselling because all commercial sales channels will be selling only CS4 at this point in time.

  • Error Installing Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7: Installer Database is Corrupt

    Error Message: The Installer Database is Corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service.
    I bought a new laptop and would like to install Dreamweaver CS4 on it. It is already running fine on my desktop, being installed back in 1/2011. Both PCs are Windows 7 but the new laptop is Windows 7 Professional.  I have downloaded the two install files ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.7z and ADBEDRWVCS4_LS1.exe multiple ways and to multiple locatons on the laptop. I've run the .exe file multiple ways and extracted to several locations besides the default (c:\users\userid\Desktop\Adobe CS4). After the extract completes and it tries to run setup I get the same message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please Contact Adobe Customer Service" (which I did and they just gave me another download link I had already tried).
    I even copied the folder with the extracted files done on my desktop (where the install had succeeded). And still got the same message when I ran setup.exe on the laptop. I tried running it with a "run as administrator" command prompt, double-clicking in Windows Explorer, start > run and the same thing happens. At least it doesn't appear that it has actually installed anything yet.
    I did notice that my new PC has a program called "7-zip 9.20" installed which I do not remember installing and its install date is prior to my purchase of the PC so I'm guessing it came with it (HP Pavilion 15t running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The Windows 7 Desktop does not have this program installed. It is available from C|net where it has a good rating. Perhaps setup.exe does further extracting and the 7-zip program is the culprit? This is a long shot.
    I searched for others with this problem and found lots of issues installing Dw CS4, but none quite like this.

    Awesome! That worked! Actually I searched three folders (Program Files, Program Files (x86) & Program Data) for caps.db and found:
    c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premier Elements\caps.db (dated 9/2/2011)
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup\caps.db
    I ignored the first one since it might be needed by the Premier Elements 10 I installed yesterday and changed the name of the other one from caps.db to barb.fix.
    I changed the install folder from c:\Program Files\Adobe to c:\Program Files (x86) just in case CS4 is a 32-bit application which I had done before when installing on my Windows7 Desktop. Now that the install has completed I see that I have caps.db files dated 5/5/2014 in
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\backup\caps.db (barb.fix is still there but is only 26kb vs 3291 kb for the new caps.db)
    Thank-you so much! Now wish me luck when I try to open it for the first time!
