Indesign can't install because of conflict with InDesign

When trying to install trial version of Indesign CS3, I get an error message that states...Adobe InDesign CS3 cannot be installed because of a conflict with Abobe InDesign CS3...
I have run search and can not find any instance of "Adobe InDesign CS3" on the computer. Suggestions? HELP?

Try calling Adobe tech support. I'm not certain what the policy is on supporting installation of trial versions, but it can't hurt, and if they'll talk to you they should do it no charge.
If not, the best I can recommend is to run MSconfig and turn off all non-Microsoft services and all non-essential startup group items, and to make sure any firewall is disabled and no virus scanners are running before trying to install.
Other things known to conflict are iTunes, instant messengers, browser toolbars, and flash player (for which you'll find removal instructions at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1).
The only other major hurdle I can think of is that some new systems don't have jscript.dll properly registered. To do that, go to the start menu and select RUN, then type (without the quotes) "regsvr32 jscript.dll" and click OK. You should see a message that it was registered successfully, and doing it again won't hurt anything.

  • MAC Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3

    Model Name:iMac / Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo / Memory:4 GB
    When I installed Illustrator CS3 at the first time, I didn't complete it and closed it. While I installed it again, it said "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3". I was be stopped on this step, so I deleted the Illustrator CS3 from Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers without clicking it to uninstall. And I deleted other Illustrator CS3 files. After that, I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS3 again, but it kept to say "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3".
    I cannot find any Illustrator in my MAC. What is wrong? How can I install Illustrator again? Should I format the computer and install all the applications again?

    On the Adobe site probably under support do a search for Adobe CS 3 Clean Up Script.
    Before running the script read the instructions al the instructions first, do not assume you understand from reading the first sentence. There are some files that are not so obvious that are necessary for activation and they are probably still around but they can only be removed by the script.
    Next time you will have to read the instructions.
    The only other ways around this is the do an archival reinstall of your system or if that does not work a complete reinstall of your system. Running the script is the easier and better way to do this but you must read the instructions completely first.

  • Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

    Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

  • Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

    Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

    Hi Loraine,
    Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
    It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
    Cheers.

  • Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
    The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
    For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
    If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

    Photoshop CC

    Hi,
    Have you ever uninstalled Photoshop CC and installed Photoshop CC 2014, or uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014 then installed Photoshop CC?
    If that, please re-install you uninstalled Photoshop, and remove GuideGuide from Extension Manager before uninstall.
    Another option is remove extension manager database file, then launch Extension Manager to install it.
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Configuration\DB\ExMan.db (Windows)
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Configuration/DB/ExMan.db (MAC)
    But please notice that all your previously installed extensions will not be shown in Extension Manager after you removed database file.

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am financially impaired (nice way of saying "poor"), and cannot afford to purchase any more upgrades for my system or another version of InDesign.
    I am sure there must be settings that will allow me to install the program, possibly with limited functionality due to this issue.  I am disabled and cannot work outside of my home. I was hoping to make a small income freelancing with this package, and InDesign is a crucial part of the package.
    Thank you very much for any assistance.
