Onlocation CS3 won't install on Vista 64

i have ppcs3. it came with encore and onlocation.
when i try to open onlocation it tells me that the program has stopped working.
any ideas?

Well I have same problem. I know photoshop has never been the most user friendly bit of software but what good is it if you can't install it?
The dialog with the progress bar appears for about 5 seconds and then absolutly nothing more. I am the laptop's admin. It had the majority of it's 320GB HD available. 4GB of memory and a very good display.
I certainly won't be paying good money for something that won't install on a brand new machine.
The most annoying thing about the whole thing is there isn't even an error message to indicate why the process was aborted.

INDesign CS3 won't install

I've been searching threads for days now and nothing i try works
I am trying to install CS3 on a G5 Mac, OSX 10.4.11. I have CS on this computer, tried the CS4 trial, decided to stay with CS3 which I am had on a deceased computer that din't have any Adobe on it except things like reader, and whatever comes with the Mac OS. When I try to load, I get everything but INDesign won't install. Tried multiple time, tried it on another computer (a G4) with similar history and the same result. I've done an uninstall on INDD4, I've cleaned preference files, tossed Colorsync profiles. At first, when I tried to install i would get an message asking for theINDD4 disk. I got rid of that when I dumped the color sync files. and now it installs everything except INDD. I'm afraid to try the clean script.
What do you suggest?

Hi Mylenium
     After updating the adobe license didn´t work any longer for the
second time, since I bought. First time CS3 cleaning tool was the
solution. But this time it is not possible just to open the
CS3cleaning tool document(PDF)- not with adobe reader, also not with
foxit for example. I removed all adobe stuff to install again, but
installation doesn´t work for the important components- photoshop
etc. At first also adobe reader didn´t work (System told me, to
install photoshop before:-) But after some deinstallation and
reinstallation now just the new downloaded adobe reader X happily
works again. Only solution to reinstall the whole system?? (medion
professional PC, windows vista 5,0 - 2 GB, 32 Bit)
     Thank you for help

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.

Dreamweaver CS3 won't install on eMac

I installed the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 but Dreamweaver won't install. I have an eMacPowerPC G4. Why does it always unsuccessfully install? I'm installing from my employer's DVD which is licensed for employees to install for home use.

You might have better luck if you take up this question in Adobe's own forums:

Good luck.

Premiere CS3 Won't Install

I'm finishing the build from Hades. I followed the Matrox system recommendations, apparently they had an easier time than I did. I finally resolved my issues with my video card, now Premiere and Encore won't install!
System Info: Tyan Tempest 5400 (socket 771) motherboard, two Xeon Quad core E5450 CPUs, one ATI Radeon Sapphire HD 3870 1 gig on-board ram, two 2 gig FB DIMM 667 RAM sticks. Software version Premiere Pro CS3.
I'm fairly certain I've met the minimum system requirements - I followed one of Matrox's highest system builds (at the time). The version of XP I bought already had Service Pack 2. As far as I can tell, I've loaded all my drivers. I have two separate 1 TB drives (7200 RPM). My DirectX version is 9.
The install process for both Premeire and Encore appear to proceed normally. The summary screen simply notes:
"Successfully installed 2 component(s):
Adobe Preiere Pro CS3 Third Party Content
Shared components
Errors: 2 component(s):
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Component install failed
Shared components
Component install failed"
I bought my RTX2 last summer, but building my house, technical diffulties with my system and my mother's death delayed getting this unit assembled.
I tried uninstalling using add/remove programs, with the same results. I also tried using two different DVD drives.
I started a post on the Matrox forum site. It looks like I have them stumped...
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

OK, you've got a "clean system," and I assume that you have not had a "trial" version of CS3 installed on it, right?
I'm going to throw out some ideas on Adobe program installation. These are distilled from various Adobe fora. Some might NOT apply to PrPro, but many might.
1.) download and install the lastet Adobe Flash Player (some Adobe programs need it to install properly)
2.) download and install the latest Apple QT Player (some PC users get by just fine without it, but a few Adobe programs want to see it.
3.) download and install the latest video and audio drivers. Update any firmware.
4.) turn OFF ALL anti-virus, spyware and pop-up blockers (including any in IE, if you have it, or any other browser). Also turn off
     Windows Messenger and Windows Indexing.
5.) make sure that you are logged-in as an Administrator
6.) as you got an installation error, I would Remove both Adobe programs (Add/Remove Programs) and also run Adobe's CleanScript. I think that
     this might be better than doing a Repair Install, though you can certainly try it first.
7.) if it still fails, try an installation from a Safe Mode boot. I *think* that this will only work for PS and Illustrator, and NOT for PrPro.
8.) if it still fails, and I hate to even suggest this - remove the Matrox card and all drivers, and try again. Given your efforts to get the box up and
     running WITH the Matrox, I'd use this as a total "last resort."
Good luck, and I hope that something, prior to #8 works for you,

Purchased XFI extreme audio PCIe for someone and it won't install on vista 32

The hardware isn't detected and thus cannot be installed. I had the same problem with my fatality titanium but at least there was a patch download for windows 7 so the card can be detected. No such patch exists for the extreme audio PCIe which means the card won't install under windows vista or windows 7.
Am I missing something or what? I have read other similar complaints about this particular XFI.

EUREKA!
Reading the bowls of the post just below, It said to make sure shockwave was enabled. It wasn't!! I enabaled it and tried my web sites and things worked fine.
Thanks to those that post helpful answers

ITunes 8.1 won't install on Vista after uninstall

So I was trying to update my itunes and kept getting errors. I went on to uninstall it and reinstall which normally works. But this time around, I got some error messages and it won't install.
When it is installing, I get this message:
"An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Schemas\iCal.syncshema\Contents\Resources\da.lproj"
I select retry in the window and it still doesn't work so I press cancel. Then it continues and terminates the install with this message:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
It then proceeded to install quicktime with no problems so I'm quite puzzled on what I can do here. I just want to listen to music and my podcasts! If anyone can help me on this it would be greatly appreciated. I've looked through the forum and support things so I need some more guidance.
Thanks,
Peter

Bump, anyone?

Adobe CS3 won't install - could classic be an issue?

I had forgotten I even had classic until this morning on the phone with Adobe Tech Support. Problem is: Adobe CS3 will not install. My case now has been escalated to Tech Level 3, and I am awaiting that call. In other words, many fixes have been tried already, including a new disk Fed-Xed here. Anyway, I was just thinking.... what if some small component of Classic is causing this problem? I absolutely do not need it. If one of you wonderful experts thinks this might be it, I also would need to know how to uninstall it. (All the other questions in this forum seem to be how to make it work.) Thanks for reading.
PS The reason I thought of this was the Adobe Tech (Level 2) guy had me check every font to make sure none were locked. (None were.) We also repaired permissions and did the CS3Clean script several times at the Level 4. (I have to do all this all over again every time I try to install and it fails.)

For the record, this was the solution: Leopard was installed (clean) on this computer, and CS3 still wouldn't install. An Apple certified person tried many things after that. Spent about 8 hours and was about to give up. The idea that finally worked was to install the suite on a different hard drive and then "migrate" it to my hard drive (whatever migrate means). It was a truly horribly experience, and I am not anxious to do business with Adobe again.

Reader 8.1.2 won't install on Vista

Greetings,
I can not get 8.1.2 to install on Vista. When I run the download I get a window asking permission to continue. When I tell it to go ahead I get the little twirling circle (that replaces the old hour glass) for a few seconds then it dissappears and that's it. No popups, no message windows, no error messages, Nothing.
I've tried inactivating the UAC, virus protection, clearing the transaction log, running as administrator on top of being in an admin account.
The same download installed with no problems on my laptop ( which also runs Vista Home Premium ).
At this point I've loaded 7.0 and it's running fine; at least so far.
There have been several posts about problems after installing 8.1.2 but I have not been able to get that far.
I'd be greatfull for any suggestions ----- and ecstatic for a solution.
Thanks

I regret the moment I thought that installing Adobe reader 812.I had had a blissful relationship with all previous versions and apart from the interfering busybody (ie account control) giving me dire warnings about known compatibility problems - which ive not had - all was fine ; until I tried to download and install 812.I have had the same experience as others with the processgoing smoothly.However,each time ive ried to use it sends a record up with the message "invalid plugin detected adobe willcease workining.I disabled the plug ins and still he is on strike.Indeed,On one occasion I think he must have had his militant friends round as not onlydid he refuse to work but my whole system refused to work and I ended up having to disconnect the power.I would have made him redundant but I had already sacked his predecessor.I suppose I could try to tempt him back with higher wages but the real issue is that the longer people carry on using older versiond the more likely it is that version 7 will fall in with the wrong crowd and be a likely candidate for corruption.(why did he have a copy of woodworker monthly and has been talking to fellow conspirators about wooden ponys?).You have to retain a sense of humour but to end on a serious note - if solution is not found soon I can envisage the trial seperation becoming a permanent divorce!

Power Manager 2.30 Won't Install on Vista on R60

I have used System Update which tells me Power Manager is availa ble for install. I install and its says it is successful and asks me to reboot.
I reboot, but still now Power Manager. If I rerun System Update, I again get told that Power Manager is available for install. You get the idea. Also, the first install removed my orginal Power Manager.
I did successful install a Vista Power Manager driver. I tried removing it and attempting again, but have only been able to install the Driver again and no Power Manager.
Help appreciated.

Hello,
that´s bad, i would try a system restore, and when your system then runs satisfactionally, don´t Update!
The new power manager seems to have trouble with starting up und some functions are deleted.
Like showing of how much "watt" the system needs in DC mode.

DW CS3 fails to Install in Vista Home Premium

Hi,
My new DW CS3 disk will not install DW to my Vista Home
Premium machine.
I am looged on as admin. I have tried the suggestions on the
support page. Disabled norton, Disabled Google toolbar. Tried to
weed out incomplete Adobe files etc.
Starngely older Adobe apps, Premiere Pro and After Effects
installed with right click and selecting "run as XP program. i have
found no way to do this with the CS3 disk.
A forum search uncovered no new ideas. Two other DW support
forums have been fruitless also.
I need this to run ASAP.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

If that fails to solve the problem, then I recommend you
contact Adobe
directly and use one of your one-on-one support incidents.

Fireworks CS3 Won't Install

Hello...
I'm running an Intel Duo core 3.16... 2 gigs of ram.. asus
en9600GSO
Windows XP home sp3
Just reformatted.... installed windows + all the latest
service packs and updates
don't have flash player installed.. only had the plugin for
firefox which I removed
don't have acrobat or any other adobe programs
My problem is that when I click Setup.exe it loads a little
window saying Initializing Adobe Fireworks CS3.... and as soon as
it's finished loading it disappears and nothing happens. Setup.exe
is left in my running processes
Tried the windows install cleanup tool, tried refreshing that
jscript.dll file, tried deleting all the directores in application
data.. program files... common files...
It seems that no matter what I do this setup just doesn't
want to launch
Please... before I throw my computer infront of a bus, does
anyone know of anything I should try?
edit: Don't ask about my username... hahaha

Hey everyone
I happened to buy a new SATA hard drive (my motherboard is
meant for sata drives.. the ide cables you can tell are only meant
to reach optical drives) as well as reinstall windows.
For the record - I did get a couple strange I/O errors on
bootup with my old drive that are now gone with my new SATA drive.
The install works fine now, so my best guess is that it has
something to do with the drive since both install attempts were
done on fresh installs of vista.
Anyways, thanks for the help... sorry I didn't have a better
solution to my problem since not everyone is going to go buy a new
hdd to fix their install problems lol

Flash CS3 Won't Install

Okay... I seriously am in need of help here. I have
downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS3, and for some
reason when I run the installer it didn't install it right. At
first when I installed this, the program seemed to be in place, but
when I tried to start it, I got an error message saying that I need
to repair it by uninstalling/reinstalling the program... The whole
message escapes me at the moment...
Anyways I tried to uninstall it and apperantly it still shows
on the Add/Remove Programs list. It won't allow me to uninstall it.
The installer doesn't work anymore. I try to use the setup.exe
program and it shows a new little window with a progress bar at the
top right corner of my screen.
The
Window
After this window finished loading it closes but the
installer never opens... I've tried many things posted on this
forum, including:
-Removing Flash 8 Player
-Making a New Account
-Checking for duplicate color profiles
and nothing worked! Please help me... I have no other CS3
programs, running on Windows XP, and I have admin account.

Okay... I'm becoming extremely upset and impatient with
Adobe. I cannot install this download of the free trial for Flash
if it were to save my life...
I have tried changing permissions to my registry keys,
installing in Safe Mode (the installer didn't allow me to install
in safe mode), installing in VGA mode (which was much harder than I
think installing anything should have been, not being able to see
the buttons to carry on and having to click Tab and hoping u have
selected "Next"), installing it while turning off every single
application except for the Windows ones, running the Adobe CS3
cleanup script, defragmenting my disk, and even trying System
Restore...
So far nothing has worked... For some reason that installer
window will NOT appear. The progress bar mentioned in my first post
shows up, but after it finishes loading it disappears and I never
see the installation screen, no warning, error message, or
anything. My computer carries on idly...
Please... Some please help me. If you know of something which
I have not tried yet please tell me. There is no way I'm going to
buy Flash if I can't even install the free trial... I might as well
try to get Flash 8 somewhere or maybe even try to find a freeware
program with similar capabilities... I cannot stress how
dissapointed I am right now and I hope no one else has to go
through such hassles during their installations.
Again, someone, PLEASE help me.
I do not believe the problem is in my computer... I have run
a virus scan and I have nothing infected. I have seen the window
before on the first time I tried to install Flash, but the download
was corrupted and I had to uninstall it... I never saw that window
again...
Please... help... me... I've lost so much of my time trying
to install this program...

TC2 won't install on Vista

I am trying to install TC2 (using an account with admin privileges) onto a 2 year old SONY Vaio laptop with
2GB of RAM running Vista Home Premium SP1 with over 30GB free space on
the hard drive. After launching the installer and selecting the apps
that I want to install and the location, I click the Install button.
The bottom progress bar starts moving to the right, but then after 10
secs goes back to the start and the message 'No programs were
installed' appears. I have turned off all anti-spyware and anti-
malware software, but this also does not help.
In Windows Services I noticed that Flexnet licensing service was off,
so I started it, but that also did not help.
I was also not able to install Captivate 3 (it would not accept the
license key) a few months ago and gave up in frustration.
Lastly, and this might be connected, my licensed copies of Dreamweaver
CS3, Fireworks CS3 and Flash CS3 all stopped working a few weeks ago.
I don't recall the exact error, but it was something like a database
or licensing problem.
Seems like I have a problem with all Adobe software.
Any suggestions anyone? Help!

Andy,
You might need to run the Licensing repair tool. See:
