Installing Cs3 Creative Suite: "insert illustator cs4 disc to continue" ?!?!?

No that is not a typo. I was installing CS3 from a disc and it started installing, but then this message appeared "Please insert Illustrator CS4 disc to continue". I have had AI cs4 on my computer before, as a trial, and then i uninstalled it. So maybe i uninstalled it incorrectly, I dont know. But there is now no AI CS4 on my computer, and it is asking me for a disc for a CS3 installation.
This also occurs with any CS3 program installation. I havent tried installing a cs4 program yet, but i dont want cs4.
This also occured with a CS3 trail download from adobe, so it is not a disc problem.
Can anyone help?!?! ah!!!!!

ok so i have read this post with the same problem
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1965766#1965766
i have run the cleanup script and i have also looked at this article:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407277
So my problem would be solved if i was reinstalling the software, but i am not reinstalling, i am installing a fresh version of indesign ive never had on my computer before.
Please help!

Problem installing Adobe Creative Suite CS4

Hi, I am having a problem installing Adobe Creative Suite CS4. I have uninstalled CS3 and installed my new CS4 and it installs fine. I go to open one of the programmes such as InDesign and I get an alert message "Licensing for this product has expired". I used to have a trail version, so uninstalled that too and still get the same problem, is there anything I can do?

Not sure if this is your issue . . . check out this knowledgebase article:

I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license. It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number. I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008. The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop. the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number. the programs will open but I can not open any files, I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message. Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

activate is grayed out. Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet" So I select "submit again" and nothing happens. Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message.

Are you talking about adobe creative cloud?
If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything. I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it. that means you really do not own it.
About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud). so ether way, it will take some space.
Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud. The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions. if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

Re-installing Adobe Creative Suite

Hello Everyone,
A few years ago I was an illustration student and so I bought the student teacher edition of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium from amazon. I successfully activated and installed my software.
My issue is that a week ago my computer died and so I need to re-install the Creative Suite. Key points are:
I have not been a student for a year now.
I do not have my original serial number on file or in my saved e-mail.
I do have my product code.
I do have my old computer's hard drive as an external with the originally installed software.
I never registered my product.
Both my old and new laptops are Lenovo convertible notebooks (Windows).
It may not be relevant but though I am from and studied in the UK, I am currently living in Japan, and will be for at least the next four months. It't really important for my career that I get this software back asap so any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thank you,
Aimee

you'll need your serial number to activate a new installation.
whether you can you can get that from your harddrive depends but is doubtful unless you're computer savvy. belarc advisor is able to retrieve the serial number from a working installation (Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…) but using it in your situation will not be easy (if possible) unless you recreate your old (working) computer.
installation files you can get,

How can I install Mac Creative Suite 5.5 on Windows 8 w/ no CD slot?

In college we were roped into buying Macbooks for our courses. We were given Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 and I distinctly remember the IT guy telling us it had the capability of running on one Apple product and one Windows product. Now that I no longer have my Macbook and I'm using a new Windows 8 laptop with no slot for a disc, how do I install the creative suite? Was the IT guy just yanking my chain? I would greatly love to not have that software go unused.

Normally when you bought a Creative Suite the license is good for one platform or the other, but not both. Though you might have had some special licensing arrangement for the school.
If you want to take a shot at it... you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

INSTALLING Adobe creative suite 3 Design Premium JAVA ERROR

Hi people, I'am having a problem installing Adobe creative suite cs3 on my iMac, when the dmg is loaded as the first sys check , installer give an error saying : "Java Script Alert - Critical errors were found in the setup - Imcompatible payloads already installed. Please see the Setup log file for details."
I've recently installed Processing, and needed to install Java too. I think I've installed Java sun SE. (actually I'm a Mac noob lol)
So , I think that I've just to clean all the old java sys that I installed and reinstall a compatible version of Java, right??? But I don't know How to do that actually!
Can any one help me please
Thnks a lot
Bella

Hello Bellawood,
This Java script Error problem, if you installed CS3, AI, PS or ID or any application already have in system or you uninstalled it, and installing again... this Java Script Error message will come.
This guide line is for Mac OS X only not for tested on Window system.
There are 2 ways to install again CS3.
1: format your system and install CS3 or remove all adobe folder your your system and install.
2: If you already installed any CS3 application and installing any other and you are getting Java Script Error message... do this, in hard disk/library/application support/adobe/... remove caps and backup folders from there and keep in safe place and install your application... hope it will install. after installing run that application... and it will run, and if you will try to run already installed application.... it will not... because you removed that application backup and caps file from adobe folder. Keep backup and caps folder in safe place and replace backup and caps folders with earlier folder which you saved in safe place. and repeat this process.
I know this is little tricky... and complicated. Better is remove all adobe files and folders from your system and install CS3 again.
regards.

Trouble Installing Adobe Creative Suite

Hi,
Im trying to install Adobe Creative Suite from 2 disc images. It gets to the end of its install run and all the program folders appear in my applications. But when i try and double click on any of the program icons ie. Photoshop CS it doesnt start up. It kinda looks like it is starting up (bouncing icon in the menu bar) but then it just stops and nothing happens.
Ive had this before with other disc image installers.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sorry, don't believe you. We've had all sorts here ask point blank about installing software they've downloaded. If you truly did purchase the product, then either contact Adobe to get a replacement set of disks, or talk to your insurance company about a claim for the loss.

Installing Adobe Creative Suite 4 & Safari 4 Incompatibility

I have been having a miserable time trying to install Adobe Creative Suite (CS) 4 on my iMac G5 (OS 10.4.11).
I have the CS Master Collection and some of the applications have system requirements beyond the capability of my machine. Nevertheless, a custom install is allowed for the applications I meet requirements on.
The problem is as follows:
In order for me to run the custom installation, I have to get past an installer alert that tells me all of the requirements are not met and do I want to continue. With Safari 4 installed, however, the installer alert window comes up blank, i.e., no message and no options to quit or continue.
Adobe's solution is to uninstall Safari 4 and to reinstall Safari 3.2.1. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/497/cpsid_49755.html. In theory, this would allow me to see the installer alert and continue.
Using Amnesia I uninstalled Safari 4 (or so I thought). Then I downloaded Safari 3.2.1 and tried to install it, at which point the installer told me that a newer version of Safari was installed on my hard drive (presumably residuals of Safari 4). So, I tried to use Pacifist and Hunter Bridewell's instructions (See Apple Discussion Topic : Safari 4.0 (5530.17) cannot uninstall ) to load 3.2.1 in place of or in parallel to 4, which is in theory no longer on my hard drive. I can then load the version 3.2.1 application of Safari and it runs. The problem is that the CS4 installation keeps hanging up, and I think it's due to some residual configuration, root, etc. file that is still present related to Safari 4.
Does anyone have any thoughts? According to Adobe, there's supposedly a patch to solve all of this on the Apple site, but I can't find it anywhere in the Apple downloads or any reference to it in the Discussion Topics.
Anybody have any thoughts?

Never heard of a patch from Apple for this problem. If Adobe talked about a patch they would have supplies an URL to the patch. To be honest it sounds like an Adobe problem and not an Apple problem.
The URL you posted said to install under a safe boot. Have you tried that?
Even tho you are installing parts of the suite that your computer complies to the system requirements for... You better check Adobe on this... There's no reason to further to muck your computer until you talk to Adobe.

When I enter the disc onto my new computer, it does not automatically ask if I want to load/run the install. Please help! Why is it not doing this? I have a windows.

Simply run the setup.exe on the disc. Your auto-start is simply disabled.

I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suit 6 Deisign and Web Premium.

Hi, I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suit 6 Deisign and Web Premium. It is the Sudent and Teacher Licensing. I was able to get my serial numbers but when I loaded the disc into my Macbook, nothing is popping up for further direction of installation. How should I proceed to install the software?

You can download the installation files and use the serial number from the disc to activate.

How many computers are you allowed to install cs3 Production suite on?

how many computers are you allowed to install cs3 Production suite on?

>install it on an indefinite number of computers?
You can put the install disc in 1 or 2 or 2000 drives... but that doesn't mean that the activation will work on more than two at a time
Since activation is required to use the program... you are limited to 2 installs at a time
As has been discussed in other threads, you must DE-activate one of your two allowed activations before you may activate on another computer
PS - I think I have also read in the forums that there is some limit to how many times you may activate and deactivate and activate again (no, I don't know the number... I just remember that there was some discussion of such)
