Installing dreamweaver problem

Hi All
I am trying to install Dreamweaver, but the install stops almost immediately and I get the message:
X  Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
         Component install failed
The only choice from here is to press the button marked 'Finish'  ?
Any help please ?
Thanks
Paul

It's difficult in these situations to give concrete information, as there are many people having various issues with the installation of DW.  The following are  generally the tips we give should such problems arise.  See if any of them help.  If not, try uninstalling and re-installing and see how you go.  Other than that, the only option is to contact Adobe Support directly.
Is it an Acer computer? There's a known conflict with Acer security software. Get the patch from here: http://www.egistec.com/oem-acer001/program-update.html.
Even though the Software didn't install all the way through, a few people have reported that carrying out the following steps did indeed help:
Try step 4 in the following technote: - corrupt cache file:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19105.
If that doesn't work Try #12 -  deleting your personal configuration folder.
On Vista, it's located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration.
It's a hidden folder, so you need to enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer.
Rename the folder to Configuration_old and launch Dreamweaver.  It should create a new Configuration folder with the factory defaults.

  • 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.

  • Problems installing Dreamweaver on Terminal Server 2008

    Hi,
    We are running a Terminal Services server with Windows Server 2008 and have successfully installed many programs that end users can run via Remote Applications and they all work.
    I have recently installed Dreamweaver on the Terminal Server, but failed at the first hurdle as I could not get it to run on the terminal server logged on as administrator.  I click on the link to the program & nothing happens, when I check in Task Manager there is nothing listed in the list of applications, but dreamweaver is running as a process. If I click on it again, I get another process running, and so on...
    We have a site license for the whole CS3 Design Premium set of programs and we usually run the installed program, enter the license key when prompted then all other installed CS3 programs run on that workstation. However, I cannot even get this program to prompt for the license key.
    Does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong?
    Many thanks

    Hi there,
    I am having some issues installing Dreamweaver on my laptop.
    I have just installed it perfectly well on my work laptop and I

    though it has installed and you can double click to run it, it
    comes up with the initial screen and then nothing else happens, it
    closes itself.
    Does anyone have any ideas why or possible solutions?

  • If I un-install Dreamweaver CC to fix a problem, will Adobe allow me to re-install it?

    My website host recommends that I un-install Dreamweaver CC to flush the ftp client cache which has is preventing me from connecting with my host site. I keep getting the message, "an ftp error has occurred - cannot make connection to host". This message persists each time I try to connect to my ftp host. I'm shut out. Please help.

    Can you connect with another FTP client like Filezilla? Can your DW connect with other sites than this one?
    As long as you have a valid CC account you can install anything any number of times, I believe.

  • 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!

  • I can't install Dreamweaver 8 on Windows 7

    Just like my title, I can't install Dreamweaver 8 on Windows 7 Release Candidate.
    I can start the installation, but it just stuck at "installing" for very long time，and the installation just can not Continue...
    I already try to running it in XP compatibility mode( Windows XP SP2), and the answer is the same: can't install.
    Can anyone advise, please?

    I'm afraid you may be out of luck.  DW 8 is 3 versions old and was not tested to work on the new operating system.
    There have been reports that some people are unable to run CS4 or are having problems with CS4 on Windows 7, so I doubt very much that DW8 would work.  Sorry.
    See this thread for the same issue

  • Unable to install Dreamweaver CS 5.5 in Windows 7

    When trying to install Dreamweaver CS 5.5 on my WIndows 7 computer, the system hangs indefinitely in the "Initialing Installation" screen.  According to the help forums, "If you're troubleshooting install errors for Creative Suite 5 or CS5.5 and the error occurred before you clicked Install, analyze the PDapp.log file."  So I reviewed it, and have attached it below.  I couldn't find the solution on any of the forums.
    Can anyone offer some advice on what the problem is, and how to proceed? Much obliged to anyone who can.

I found some comments that Adobe is not making it available for download. I would like to continue to use this version.  Anyone have any ideas on where I can find a copy of Dreamweaver CS3?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Mac freezes when installing Dreamweaver CS

    I've downloaded the current trial version of Dreamweaver CS
    and tried several times to install it on a Mac running OSX. But
    every time, when the installation screen gets to the point where it
    says it is installing Dreamweaver CS, the progress bar freezes and
    the installation doesn't complete. I've let it sit for a half hour,
    but the installation doesn't complete.
    I've tried uninstalling and it hangs too during the
    uninstallation.
    I have the most current OSX updates installed, and I've
    downloaded Dreamweaver CS three times with the same result each
    time.
    Any suggestions on how I can get Dreamweaver CS to install
    correctly?

    Thanks everyone
    I'm no techie so reading through all the suggestions was sort of helpful but non gave the answer... or at least an answer I understood. In the end, I just used a bit of common sense after several more failed installation attempts following the use of the adobe cleaner tool/software, I decided that the problem was clearly an issue with permissions on the font mentioned in the error. So, backed up the font on to my desktop, and restarted windows 7 in safe mode. This allowed me to delete the font in question from the c:/windows/fonts folder which couldn't be done when booting up windows normally beacuse it was always 'in use by another application'.
    Once the font was deleted, I rebooted again but this time in full windows mode rather than safe mode and installed Dreamweaver CC 2014 successfully.
    Thanks for all your help guys, I do appreciate you posting the suggested links... if only the above simple instructions had been listed on the Adobe Troubleshooting pages, I could have done something more constructive with the 4 hours of my life I won't get back spent wasting my time fixing this!!!
    Now for some shut-eye!

  • Re-install dreamweaver CS4

    Trying to re-install dreamweaver cs4 after a computer problem. During installation, program would only process thru 90% of the check system profile before completly stopping. Let it run over an hour and nothing happen

    What type of computer problem did you face?  Are you installing from a CD?  If so you can try copying the install files to your desktop to see if you receive a read error while reading the disc.  If you do receive a read error then you can download a fresh copy of the install files from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html.
