Not allowing to reinstalling Dreamweaver CS3

I trashed Dreamweaver CS3 to uninstall... oops. Then after trying to reinstall realized that I should not have trashed the file because I need the original installer to completely uninstall Dreamweaver.
Now that I no longer have the file required to uninstall... I cannot reinstall the program I get this message: "Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is already installed. To remove or modify this software, please use its original installer."
Adobe no longer provides technical support for CS3 and I am desperate for a solution as I cannot do my job without Dreamweaver.
I read up an noticed a Cleaner Tool but only for CS5.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Adobe used to have separate cleaner tools for each version but merged it into one. Download and run it. I have provided a link for reference:

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Firefox is not opening in Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 when I try to use it as a Preview Browser

Other versions of Firefox worked as a Preview browser when testing a webpage in Dreamweaver. I'm using version 3.6.11. Is there a fix

There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:

There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

Need to uninstall Dreamweaver cs3, but don't want to lose my files

Need to uninstall and reinstall Dreamweaver cs3. How do I do that without losing my files? I only have one website and a couple of dozen files related to it.Dreamweaver support forum

Your files are in a separate folder on your computer, not in the DW folder, so they should be safe.
If your site is live, your files are also on the server, and can be downloaded later if necessary.
DW simply allows you to edit those files by means of your site definition which tells DW where to find those files. Before uninstalling DW, export your site definition (an STE file) to a safe place on your computer for later import into your next DW installation.
Use the cleaner tool before installing your new DW.

Does Dreamweaver CS3 work with 64 bit version of Windows 7?

Windows 7, 64 bit, Home Premium was clean installed. I had no difficulty reinstalling Dreamweaver CS3, but when I try to open a file I get a message that says." A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Apparently none is. So my question is, does Dreamweaver CS3 work with the 64 bit version of Windows 7? If not, does CS4 work or would I be wasting money by upgrading?

I just installed it and ran it fine. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Make sure it is a clean install from a fresh "boot". I ran into problems the first time when I tried to install it right after I installed another program. I simply uninstalled it.....which took a long long time, but after it was removed and I rebooted, everything went fine.

Dreamweaver CS3 trial version installation

Not able to install dreamweaver CS3 trial version in Windows
XP. Is there any compatibility issue is there?

Sorry for late reply.
The error message was:
A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial
period for Adobe Dreamweaver CS3.
Click Quit to see if restarting your computer or reinstalling
the software fixes the problem. Otherwise click Continue to display
a screen where you can enter a valid serial number to begin using
the product without trial.
and one more correction my PC has Windows Vista. So is there
any compatibility issue?

Dreamweaver CS3 9.1

I formatted my PC and now I reinstalled dreamweaver CS3...
Am I wrong or there was a 9.1 Windows update that now disappeared from the support page?

You're mistaken. There were no updates for Dreamweaver CS3, apart from the Middle East version.

Dreamweaver CS3 will not save page

I have few details as I'm troubleshooting for a client, but hopefully someone can help get me to the answer...
Client has Dreamweaver CS3. Been using it for about a year (and before that, earlier versions). One person now cannot save files. After making a change, Save is still gray and keyboard shortcut (ctrl+S) does not work.
Other things I know (via phone conversation):
- Using Windows XP
- Check in/Check Out is enabled, and she is able to check out the file
- Editing on local and uploading to remote
- Other people within organization can save changes to the same pages
- all users have same FTP username and password
- I am using DW 8 and can access, make changes and save to same pages
- She can Save As...
Any ideas will help.
Thanks in advance!

If you go to the Adobe Support Knowledgebase, you can find

Outraged that KHTML is not supported in Dreamweaver cs3

I am outraged that KHTML is not supported in Dreamweaver CS3. If I had know this, I would not have purchased this software. In fact, I recommend that anyone using KHTML in earlier versions of Dreamweaver defintely not upgrade to CS3 until Adobe supports KHTML. To make matters worse, I have still not heard the reason that Adobe has decided to not support KHTML.
It is obvious that Adobe does not have the interest of their customers in mind.

Hi David,
I absolutely disagree with you Gunther about KTML being "crap", and you are wrong about it being sold separately - it came integrated into MX Kollection.
As far I can recall, there were several options which changed in the course of time -- you could purchase a bundle, or you could purchase MX Kollection without any other secondary extension. As I said : "as far I recall"...
The primary advantage of KTML (other than its great wysiwyg capability and the convenience of it being a DW extension) is that it has a built-in file manager and image manager..
yes, that´s what I meant to indicate with my "2 well done features" summary
With a click of a button, you get wysiwyg editor, file manger, and image manager. And all of these work perfectly btw, and the image manager and file manager is better than Tiny's costly managers. For example with KTML the image resizer works better, you can change brightness and contrast and what's even better is that these functions can be done directly from the file manager w/out having to first open the image in the editor.
wanna know why exactly I decided to abandon KTML in favor of e.g. TinyMCE despite of the truly magnificent image and file management ? It´s because KTML simply didn´t provide any internal "hooks" to let me, say, allow user_id 1 to access all image editing functions, but user_id 2 just a subset or just the upload capability, but: No !
KTML´s "management" features would have been really great and really usable in a multi-user environamnt, if it would have provided this very feature -- but this would have meant to completely tie KTML to the rest of MX Kollection´s set of features
(ie handling external session variables, relate to permissions set in the login table), and that´s something what regretfully never happened, because the active development was
(as all you guys know) sort of stopped right at a point where it *could* have become really useful.
Another reason for me to not use the brilliant image management features :: does anyone recall KTML´s earlier versions which generated the image thumbnails "on the fly" ? If yes, you know what I´m talking about :: the latest KTML version *forced* me to accept having it create real thumbnail files in whatever obscure subdirectory, though I would never be really using them, and though KTML could certainly have done without them for generating an image preview
And the final problem with TinyMCE is the price: over $350 for the file manager (server license) and around $250 for image manager (server license). $600 to have it licensed on one server - They don't publish the price for unlimited license (probably very expensive). So just those two features costs almost twice as much as MX Kollection did that included those two features as only a small percentage of the overall package.
wow, that much ? incredible... Did never use these additional "managers", but in all other aspects I have to say that TinyMCE is indeed superior -- it´s all a matter of taste, but the sheer amount of configuration options is something I would have liked to see in KTML
The point is that there really is no true replacement for KTML right now and that is VERY unfortunate. I believe the reason we are discussing this is in the hopes that Adobe will see how much KTML is missed and bring it back or a suitable alternative
you *are* right, there is no good "extension" replacement, but I´m pretty sure that Adobe simply reviewed KMTL´s possible future in regards to the *very* strong and mature open source competition -- how much development resources (and money) would have been required to make KTML an editor which is on par with what´s already out there, and would this investment guarantee a stable market position ? noone really knows, but this would have been a risk, as KTML´s user-base was not *that* huge after all
Cheers,
Günter Schenk

Dreamweaver CS3 will not load up

I went to startup my Dreamweaver CS3 like always and it
would not load. I have been using it fine for months with no issues
and today it just died. I get an error of Program is unable to open
please reinstall or repair files. But nothing else is give for an
error. I removed the program and rebooted and reinstalled. It never
asked me for the serial number I though it is most likley still in
the registry somewhere. I still get same error. Is there a 100% way
to remove all items of DCS3 from my PC and reinstall 100% fresh?
Thanks

Dreamweaver CS3 not starting after install

My previous Acer computer (Intel dual core, 2gb ram, XP Pro SP3) ran DW just fine, but it died a hardware death. My new computer is an HP 6005 Pro, pre-installed with an XP Pro (SP3) downgrade, AMD dual core 2.8 gb processor, 1.75 gb ram...
The install went fine, but when I click on the icon (either the shortcut or the exe in the root folder) nothing happens. The hourglass starts for a few seconds then disappears and nothing. My other Adobe software includes PS CS2, Audition, PS 6, Bridge and Bridge CS3 (this versionof Bridge is from the DW CS3 insatll...PSCS2 is an upgrade so I had to install PS 6 first then the upgrade. Is PS6 and Bridge interfering and/or can I uninstall PS6 and Bridge?)
Where do I go from here? I'm praying it's not an incompatiblity with the AMD processor!! I built and published my website with this DW and I'm stuck!!!
Thanks,
HG Guy

PZ,
I tried a re-install with both firewall and antivirus turned off (ZoneAlarm and Avira). No change, Dreamweaver will not start (but shows up in the Process tab in Task Manager) and will not allow Photoshop CS2 to run (i.e. Ps starts but freezes when opened) until the Dw process is stopped. Bridge CS3 will open and did open a file after a second attempt in Ps (the first resulted in the usual freezing of Ps), but after closing Ps and restarting Ps once again would freeze until stopping in Task Manager. Stopping Bridge in Task Manager would then allow Ps to open normally. Adobe Device Central will open but will not close except through the Task Manager. Extension Manager opens and closes fine and doesn't interfere with Ps
I can click on Dreamweaver (which does not start but is listed in the Process tab) and then open Photoshop 6 and use it with no problems.
Very frustrating! Something in CS3 is interfering with CS2!
I did download and ran the Adobe Support Advisor. It reported:
the module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.
If you continue to have difficulties with the application,
please contact Adobe Support: http://www.adobe.com/support
System Information :
Operating System = Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
Locale = en
Although when I exit the program I get this:
Creative Suite Product Install Inspector has identified an issue that needs attention.
An issue report has been generated.
Adobe will use this issue report to help address this issue in the future.
Also when I click on the "package for support" to generate a key for support it quites at 30% and says information is too large for this configuration and to go to Adobe Support for more information...
So what should I do next? Call an Adobe tech support person?
Is this maybe a problem with XP SP3? I have read in places that SP3 introduced anomolies, should I roll back to SP2 (if I even can?)

Dreamweaver cs3 FTP Fault - Not connecting anymore

Hi,
I hope someone may know the cause of this wierd problem
My dreamweaver cs3 has just stopped connecting to server for
any of my sites
(i got over 100 sites and tried quite a few).
My other ftp program external to cwcs3 is fine and continues
to work. This
using the same connection settings as dwcs3 site profiles.
Nothing has
changed on my dwcs3 profiles but yestarday I had the daylight
saving problem
(and last year) where i had to delete the cache file as per
adobe tech doc.
DW no longer crashing but i think this ftp not connecting is
only since
yesterday.
I have also installed the various windows updates that came
out recently.
The other machines in the office continue to work fine. All
machines import
the same saved profiles, but if i remove the site profile and
reimport it
still dosent connect, but repeating this on another machine
works without a
problem.
All machines in this floor have Vista Business/ CS3 web suite
connecting to
a windows 2003 standard ed server running iis and
iis/microsoft ftp server.
Same result with windows firewall disabled. Only other
security app is NOD
anti-virus, again all machines are the same.
All i get is an error telling me to try passive etc, but i
know this isnt
the fault as the other machines with the same settings are
fine..
here is a copy of the ftp log after trying to connect,
selecting a file, and
selecting put.
< 220 Microsoft FTP Service

The file "/mmdftp/carrs-billington.com/Company.asp" was
skipped because the
old remote file could not be deleted.

If i was that anal about cpu overhead, would i be using
dreamweavers built
in ftp with its feature 100%cpu usage. Even on my core 2
extreme 9000 cpu!!
Thanks for the links, but everything in them has been ruled
out. The issue
is clearly not a setting within dw. Its some sort of windows
firewall
corruption
Even running wf.msc (advanced win firewall config) provides
no clues
