Leopard + Adobe CS3 Products

Alright, I know it's not always the most intelligent to install a new OS so quickly but I was much too excited and installed Leopard on my laptop as a semi test to see how CS3 does even though it's not officially compatible at this point. That said, everything was running smooth and great. I had zero problems from AE to Illustrator. Out of nowhere, all of the adobe products stopped working. When I attempt to open any of them, they cannot open. Okay, so obviously at that point you just reinstall right? Right. Well when attempting to reinstall, it asks for a disk that doesn't come in the package. Weird. When I try uninstalling so I can do a fresh install, it locks up my machine. I'm stuck with something curropt or a Leopard issue. Can someone help me figure out what to do please.. I really need to crack this issue because I have work piling up. I've tried everything from clearing the ram to clearing the cache to repairing permissions so please give me something deeper than the basic list we go through when dealing with these issues. I really don't want to have to re-load Leopard but I'm not sure if I have any other options.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!!
GodBless.

Refer to this thread I ran across earlier today. It may help you with your problem.

Leopard Adobe CS3 Production Premium - NO FLASH PLAYING

I recently purchased a Mac Pro with Leopard, Final Cut Studio
2, and Adobe Production Premium suite. I got everything setup
yesterday, and I exported a Quicktime reference file from Final
Cut, and brought it into Flash CS3 Media Encoder. The file seemed
to encode fine, but when I try to open it, it shows that the Flash
Player opens, but the video never actually opens. I also tired to
import the FLV file into Flash Pro, and it acts as though it
imports, but it does let me preview it. The ONLY thing that I think
could have caused a problem is that I also have Sorenson Squeeze
installed, which has its own On2 VP6 encoder. Again, this may have
nothing to do with it since I copied the file to another Mac
machine that did not have Sorenson on it, and downloaded the
standalone Flash Player, and it acted the same. Any ideas on why
FLV files would not play back would be greatly appreciated. I have
ALL updates installed for OS X Leopard, as well as the CS3
collection. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the exact same problem on my Mac Pro with Leopard,
Final Cut Express HD, and Adobe Web Design Suite. I, however, do
not have Sorenson Squeeze installed. I too am up to date on all of
my software updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe CS3 Production Premium Installation

(Brand New) HP xw8600 Workstation
Intel Xeon 3.00 GHz Processor
3.25 GB RAM
Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 2
DSL High Speed Internet Connection for Activation
I'm trying to install the Adobe CS3 Production Premium package on my new computer. After I select "Install Adobe CS3 Production Premium" from the initial dialog box, a new box saying "Initializing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium" appears with a progress bar. When the progress bar completes, nothing happens. The license agreement window fails to launch. I've tried copying the Adobe CS3 folder to my desktop and running setup.exe alone with no success.
When I use the same disks on a different computer, the license agreement launches.
Any help you guys can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks

Windows 7 and Adobe CS3 Production Premium?

I'm about to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, and would like to know if Adobe CS3 Production Premium will install on
Windows 7 64-bit?
Has anyone experience any problems? Is there anything I should be aware of, or extra steps that must be taken during the installation of CS3?
Thanks.

It should but why in the world would you stick with 32 bit video apps if you're moving to Win 7 64 bit? You can upgrade for a pretty reasonable amount and take advantage of the new machine. Put a boatload of RAM in there and you'll be a lot happier.
You can save $40 right now on Amazon with free shipping: http://amzn.to/e7sMSp
Finally, I'm assuming that this is about a new machine. If you truly mean you're upgrading Windows, then make sure you do a CLEAN INSTALL. Do not do an inplace upgrade of Windows.

I had Adobe CS3 products on my Macbook Pro. How do I prove this to get the Creative Cloud $29.99 membership price on my new iMac?

Adobe cs3 production premium

hey (i know jerry will probably answer this) i was wondering if the adobe cs3 production premium would work on an intel core 2 duo macbook.

Who knows? This isn't the Adobe support site. A gentle suggestion - why don't you wander over to the Adobe website and look up the 'minimum configuration' for the software.

Hi Mariofsanders
An educational version of the software does not qualify for the upgrade price of the Creative Cloud plans.

Leopard and Adobe CS3 products

I was wondering if any of you had issues once an Adobe CS3 line of products were installed.
For instance, right now my iTunes refuses to force quite, there is no iTunes window, but the "application active" dot is still on in the dock...
After running multiple CS3 simutaneously, I find the apps crashing or having to force quit.
I've recently re-installed Leopard without an extra install options, ie, printer drivers, languages....
Maybe a PRAM re-start? Whadda ya think?

"...Dreamweaver has always...had some memory...issues, and tends to effect my system..."
I use DW CS3 almost constantly and have had absolutely no issues with it under both 10.4 and 10.5. I also used DW MX for years but I was not aware of any memory problems. Having said that, I would not recognize a "memory leak" if it hit me on the back of the head so I don't know how to advise you on that score. I have always been a "more is better" type when it comes to RAM and tend to run at least 50% of what the system will support. My Mac Pro has eight gigs so maybe I would not notice if some "leaked"....

Leopard and Adobe CS3 Products. Design and Video Production a must read.

Adobe posted this pdf. http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
Should answer any questions on compatibility.
Web designers are safe if you use CS3. Studio 8, your out of luck.
InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3 is safe. CS2 your out of luck.
After Effects CS3 must use update.....slated for December.
Acrobat Pro 8, and any of Adobe video and sound production apps the same as After Effects.

Hello,
Thank you very much for the answers, but for me it is already to late. I tried to install Tiger again, to be able to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 and then upgrade, but my iMac won't boot from the Tiger DVD even though it starts from the Leopard DVD. I have no glue what I am doing wrong. I pressed the "D" key during the boot - as stated in my manual and nothing happens. The machine just start Leopard from hard drive again.
I also tried to insert the Tiger DVD while Leopard is running and then choose the Tiger installer, but it tells me, that it can not install on my machine. I do not understand anything.
As far as I understand from Adobe, there should not be any problem to install Adobe Photoshop CS3. Nevertheless it definitely does not install on my machine (only the "shared components").
Kind regards,
Cornelia

I just bought Adobe CS3 Production Premium and have the chance to buy the CS5 master collection upgrade.

If I buy the CS5 Master collection upgrade, can that upgrade apply to the software that is is the production premium CS3?

YOu need a new version.

Silent install Adobe CS3 Production Premium Issue

Hi folks,
I've ran into a problem when trying to roll at CS3 PP onto Windows 7 PCs.
I got instructions on how to do this from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402715.html but I've ran into a snag in that I have been able to generate the install.xml file ok but when the command runs it works away for a wee while then I get: -
End Adobe Setup. Exit code: 7
I'm using the following command string:-
\\qms03\cip$\AdobeCS3PP\AdobeCS3\setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile=\\qms03\cip$\AdobeCS3PP\AdobeCS3\install.xml
I've had a look around the Internet and can't find a solution this and I wonder has anyone ever came across it before and do you know how I can solve it so I can get the application installed?
Your help would be much appreciated!
Regards,
Tony

Adobe cs3 production premium (student licensing)

Does anyone know why my cs3 prod. premium quit working?

when i login to photoshop or AI i get this error window saying " Registration Unsuccessful" and "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the internet". And "please select one of the following options:" "try submitting the online registration again or register later or never register". I clicked on "try submitting the online registration again. But, when I click on SUBMIT the error window remains.

Adobe CS3 installation problem in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I cannot install Adobe CS3 Production Premium in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (fresh clean install). I have tried everything, including turning off the anti-virus software. It just pops up asking if I want to allow the installer to make changes to Windows, etc and when I click yes it just closes and does nothing... Has anyone been able to get CS3 installed in Windows 7?
The only reason I have a fresh install is because my Ultra CS3 that I had loaded in addition to CS4 package timed out after 30 days and I really need to get access to Ultra CS3 to finish this project. I was planning installing just one app (maybe Photoshop CS3) from the CS3 install so that I can enter my CS3 Production Premium reg info in the system so tat Ultra CS3 will work. I can just start over and do another 30 days with the Ultra in DEMO mode (it does not tell you it's running in demo mode by the way!) and finish this project, but I was looking for a more permanent solution. Once I put CS4 back on, the CS3 package installed over it...
Does anyone knw what to do in this situation? i.e. Could I install it into a Windows XP Pro 32-bit edition and perform and UPGRADE to Windows 7?
Has anyone else ran into this inability to install CS3 in Windows 7? I am running the CS3 install from the Adobe folder on the desktop that it maes when you run the files downloaded from Adobe.com - I get nothing. The task manager shows something open for a split second and then closes right away?! This is very frustrating. I have even run the CS3 clean script just in case. Any help would be appreciated!

i had issues installing cs4 products, my reponse to others with cs4 issues may help you:
i see 216 others have posted questions on this issue on this forum from searching "setup.exe", including myself, so i'm just responding to the recent ones.
i recently downloaded trails of flash cs4 and web premium package cs4 (took a day to download at high speed starbuck's internet). couldnt get the setup.exe to work or the uninstaller to work. surfing tech support over next couple weeks to try various agents was useless and expensive until i finally reached someone with useful info. all the agents had foriegn accents and read from scripts and web support pages until yesterday, when i reached a guy who told me two things i'll report to various forums addressing this same issue:
1. download the "windows install clean up" program from window's website (google: windows install cleanup) to uninstall everything adobe. then go through your folders to erase any adobe remnants. this program is different from the uninstaller that doesnt work in the programs and features area of the control panel when you try to uninstall adobe products from there.
2. windows explorer 8, the newest version, DOES NOT download adobe software properly and leaves things out, causing all sorts of issues including the setup.exe program not working. download firefox browser from mozella (google: firefox) and use it for all adobe downloads. apparently the old windows explorer 7 will work, but if you already have explorer 8 installed its easiest to just use firefox.
i'm spending the next couple days downloading the 4.14 G web premium trail with firefox and will report if this works.

Adobe cs3 won't install on Windows 7(32-bit)!

A friend of mine finally convinced me to install Windows 7, and he had good reason to. This OS really lives up to the hype thats been going on...but, Im having trouble installing an ESSENTIAL program(s) to this great OS, Adobe CS3 Design Premium. I installed Windows 7 (32-bit) from a DVD, with the product key, which I think is the "clean install" Ive been hearing about. I read something that says Windows 7 doesn't recognize a certain file associated with Cs3, maybe thats why it wont load. I attached a screen shot of my system specs, if it helps. But this is what happened.
- When I insert the software DVD, the autoplay feature pops up, then Windows "User Account Control" asks me if I want to allow the changes.
- I click "Yes," and then the "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" window pops up and gives me the option to: Install CS3 Design Premium; Install Adobe Acrobat 8; and Browse CD.
- I choose "Install CS3" and then a window "Initializing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" with a progress bar.
- The bar fills up, but when it finishes nothing happens.
I checked the tasked manager and see that, that adobe setup.exe is running somehow, but nothing happens. I have search on Adobe forums and google for possible solutions, but nothing has worked so far. I have tried:
- Runnning the setup application from the DVD (in Adobe Design Premium CS3 folder) as "Administrator"
- Ran "wincs3clean," to remove any existing adobe programs from the system.
- Ran ccleaner, to fix/repair any registry problems or anything else.
- Tried copying the content of the DVD onto the desktop and run it as Admin.
- Used the command.exe (as admin) and ran the "regsvr32 jscript.dll" and "regsvr32 vb(something)"
- Ran Windows 7 in "simplified" mode, where I disabled any services/processes from interferring with the setup, through the msconfig feature.
- Cleared the Windows temporary files, as this was a solution for Vista, I thought might work.
- Tried updating my drivers, everything was uptodate.
- Called Adobe Technical support, waited about 30 mins, and then was told "Adobe does not support Windows 7, so the install may or maynot work." (They could help if they wanted to).
- Tried restarting in a previous version, to see if it would install, but the admin password that I had before isnt working now for some reason.
Ive seen reports of people having Adobe CS3 installed on Windows 7 and working fine, so I know its possible. Its just frustrating that I cant get it to work. Somebody (bodies), please help me. Let me know if there is any other info needed. Ive struggling with this for some time now.
Thanks A-Mil in advance,
Gary D.

i am having very similar issues and after working on this for days i'm ready to trash all Adobe products.. i've been in DP for 35 years and have never had this much trouble with anything - ever.
i migrated to a new machine using windows 7 from and XP machine. i used PCmover to port applications and all are working just fine except my Adobe CS3 products. When i try to open them i get some sort of message about catastophic licensing problem and the product immediately closes. i'd detail the error but it's only up for about 4 milliseconds before it disappears.
so i tried reinstalling CS3 and it loads the autoplay just fine and then i click on 'install adobe cs3' icon and see the progress bar moving for about 2 secons and then that disappears and then NOTHING.
so i found suggestions about using the CS5 cleaner tool and ran that bout it didn't even find the application..
so i went to control panel and clicked on 'uninstall' for CS3 and it seems run for about 3 seconds and then NOTHING..
so i installed a windows cleanup tool that was recommended but that's been retired by Microsoft because it caused other problems so i didn't run it..
short of formatting my hard drive and starting over installing over 50 apps on my new computer, i'm at a loss and so extremely frustrated with Adobe that i am willing to learn another set of programs to replace them and to tell the world.
