Photoshop CS3 Error in Setup. Help!

When I open the setup.exe file, it gives me an error saying that it has critical errors and cannot be satisfied. It also says look in the setup log file, but I don't know where it is or what to do. I've tried un-installing, re-installing, ect. and it doesn't work.
Attatched is a picture of the message it shows.

it should be here:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
Also, try running the CS3 Clean Script
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
By the way, try using JPG or PNG/GIF next time, BMP files are too large for the internet

  • Photoshop CS3 error saving files - Could not save ... because the fileis already in use or was left

    I have a problem with Adobe Photoshop CS3 that only started happening last night. Heres a description of the problem.
    When I try and save a Photoshop file, I get the following error message:-
    Could not save (filename). because the file is already in use or was left open
    I have rebooted my computer, rebooted our server, un-installed & reinstalled Photoshop and also done a system restore, and I still have the problem. (The system restore actually caused huge problems I got the error message The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support, except I wasnt able to reinstall or uninstall the product. The computer just would not run the installer. I had to undo the system restore.)
    I can do Save For Web with no trouble and I can save files to the same location with every other Adobe product installed in the Web bundle, just not Photoshop.
    We have 2 machines here with an identical set up (hardware and software) and the problem is only on one machine.
    Even though Photoshop says it cant save the file, its actually saving the file in the following format:-
    ~psX.tmp where X is a random variable, either characters or numbers.
    I have to manually open My Documents and rename the file to filename.psd so I can access it again.
    Short of reformatting my computer (which Im not keen on doing because it will mean several wasted work hours and I will have to pay our IT people to come in and hook me back up to our network), how can this problem be fixed?
    I have also Googled the problem and the only help I found was a suggestion to search for a psicon.dll file and rename it. This file does not appear anywhere on my system, so I'm at a loss.
    I have contacted support about this issue, but thought it was also worth while to ask here at the same time.

    I'm having similar problems with not being able to save files after editing them (and giving them a new file-name, obviously) in Photoshop Elements 4.0. I get an error message saying (for instance): "Could not save as (whatever I'm trying to name the file) because the file is already in use or was left open". Then I see a .tmp file (that I can't open)
    I did a search and found that the file was being saved twice, once within Photoshop (where I'm working with it) and also in..
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\Temporary"
    I'm assuming this is the problem, but if you have any clue as to why is this happening and what I can do about it, I'd welcome any input. I've been using PSE-4.0 for years, and this problem just started cropping up. The only (cumbersome) way around this problem has been to just make my edits (in PSE-4.0) and do a "save" under the original file name, then go into explorer and rename the file. So, in short, I cannot do what I've been doing for years, editing a picture and saving it (renamed) in the sane folder (or a different one).
    I can "see" the .tmp files in PSE-4.0, but they won't open.. but they will in JASC.. odd..
    Thanks-
    Bob

  • Can not send my NEF files to Photoshop CS3...Please Help

    Hello
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong!!  I shoot with a Nikon D300. I use Photoshop CS3 along with Bridge and InDesign. I have Windows Vista. Now that the facts are out of the way........
    I have tried installing an update of Camera Raw. I did the following. Please correct me before I pull my hair out!!!
    I first removed ACR 4.0 and put it in a folder on my desktop (Camera Raw .8bi)
    I then downloaded DNG Camera Raw 4.6 zip from the Adobe site. These were my next steps:
    start/computer/double click local c/program files/common files/adobe/plugins/cs3
    I then took the DNG camera raw 4.6 and placed it in the last folder (cs3)
    I started Bridge. I can see my Raw images there. I double clicked on an image to transfer to photoshop and an error message poped up (once again) saying that photoshop does not support the file. I went to the help section of cs3/about plugins and there was not a camera raw icon I could click on.
    Did I install this in the wrong place???  What can I do to obtain these files? I need them to be converted to JPEG or a TIFF.
    Someone please have an answer! I'm praying!
    Thank you,
    Tina

    The DNG converter is a stand-alone application which is an alternative to Adobe Camera raw. Particularly useful when your camera is not  covered by the latest version of ACR.
    It does not go in any specific folder and you have to use it to convert your NEF files to DNG format in order to view them in Bridge and process them in ACR.
    You really need to read the instructions on the download pages and in the links there before ploughing on to disaster!

  • Photoshop CS3  - error console warning on opening

    Hi, I am working on a Mac book pro. I have recently noticed a warning message coming up on console messages when I open Photoshop, or indeed any of my adobe programmes. Part of the message that shows is detailed below. Please can anybody advise what is causing this. Have the programmes been corrupted in some way? Is Class EpicController part of the software? the message then repeats with Class EpicJSWindowExternalHandler and Class EpicWizardController
    12/03/2009 09:20:47 [0x0-0x1d01d].com.adobe.Photoshop[151] objc[151]: Class EpicController is implemented in both /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3.app/Contents/Frameworks/adobe_personalization.framework/adobe_personalization and /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3.app/Contents/Frameworks/adobe_registration.framework/adobe_registration. Using implementation from /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3.app/Contents/Frameworks/adobe_registration.framework/adobe_registration.
    Any help with this, gratefully received - Thanks

    Someone else reported this recently.
    It is apparently a false message (caused by an error in OSX) and can safely be ignored.

  • Can't open files in Photoshop CS3...Please Help!!

    So last night I was downloading some pictures off my CF cards and apparently I have way too many pictures on my pc and it's full! So I stopped downloading and started deleting!
    But while I was doing that, I tried to open some images in photoshop and it just freezes up. The dialog box pops up for a brief second when I try to open the image and then it just disappears. Then I can't click on anything. I have to "ctrl-alt-del" to even shut photoshop down. Does any one know what's up or how I can fix it?
    I'm using CS3 and windows xp if that matters...
    I have two drives. The drive that I have photoshop on has 184GB left on it...so plenty of space. The other drive...the one I store photos on...only has 32GB left.
    I deleted a bunch of photos (need to go buy more DVD's to back up so I can delete more), uninstalled photoshop, cleaned up both hard drives, re-installed photoshop....and it's still doing the same thing. I don't know what else to do....

    Cyndi -
    I would start with the easiest thing Archive the preference file to your desktop then we can continue from there if that doesnt work.
    - Close PS
    - Type this into your run menu
    %appdata%/adobe/adobe photoshop cs3/
    - Now drag the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder onto your desktop
    - Keep the adobe folder window open
    - Launch PS
    - If this works then there was something corrupted in the preferences somewhere
    - If this doesnt work then delete the newly created preference folder from the adobe folder and drag the one from your desktop back into the adobe folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photoshop CS3 Conflict...HELP!

    So I got a copy of the CS3 Master Collection. Everything transfered fine onto my computer but after I entered the serial number the program said it couldn't install Photoshop CS3 because it conflicted with Photoshop CS3.
    I then searched the internet and found that you must first remove the trial or beta version of PS CS3 before installing. I read the instructions on how to do that (utilities>adobe installers) but nothing was in the adobe installers area.
    Then I just got very pissed off. Erased everything on my computer (at least I think) that had the word adobe, photoshop, cs3 in it (including my previous copies of CS) uninstalled the CS3 Master Collection, reinstalled the CS3 master collection...to no avail.
    Very frustrating and I am extremely aggravated and am ready to throw my macbook pro through the dry wall.
    Any help? Suggestions?
    Thank you so much!

    You need the CS3 cleanScript do a search you should find it.
    In fact I just did it for you.

  • PLEASE HELP! Photoshop CS3 Error code

    My photoshop out of the blue just stopped working. It goes go to the loading part, then it finishes loading. Stays there for like 5 seconds then it crashes.
    Adobe Fireworks works perfect, however photoshop doesn't anymore.
    Please help, this is urgent as I use photoshop daily.
    I deleted the preferences. Held shift, del and ctrl and deleted the settings. but still nothing. I renamed the "twain32" and still nothing.
    This is the error information
    Problem signature:
      Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH

    PLEASE HELP!

    A quick google returned:
    The problem is that there's no such module as "StackHash_1703", so this  appears to be some special case in Windows. I tried turning off  antivirus and enabling compatibility mode, but the application still  would not work.
    The problem was that I had DEP (Data Execution Protection) enabled. For  whatever reason, the error message gave me the AppCrash error above  instead of the standard message about "DEP has closed the program."
    To solve the problem, I added the application to the DEP exclusion list and everything worked again.

  • PS CS3 Error! plaease help

    I am working on a website that I've already finished building and everything has worked perfectly. However, this morning I opened of the pages in photoshop and all I did was change a font and its color, I did not edit or move anything else. Now when I try to save for web I get the following error: "could not complete export command because the plugin entry point could not be found"... Why is it doing this all of a sudden?

    Sounds like the plugin file for SFW has been damaged on disk.

  • Encore CS3 error...help!

    Encore's been working fine up until today. It stopped importing files - nothing comes in and it hangs after it transcodes a file during the "import" phase.
    I cancelled one build and it gave me this error message:
    "Operating System Error:nummber 0x00000020 - The process cannont access the file because it is being used by another process"
    I've tried deleting the cache file, I've tried going into the regestry and deleting that cache file, I've tried just about everything I could find after searching this forum - nothing.
    I've got CS4 on order, and Adobe says it's supposed to ship on the 14th, so I'm hoping it'll get it not long after that and before I need to burn anything too big - I don't want to have to move everything to my laptop where Encore is working fine. And I just got my Vista 64 upgrade disc and wanted to wait to install it when CS4 got here, but if installing the OS agin is what would fix this, I'll do it now.
    Any ideas - any at all????

    Eric,
    The only time I have gotten the "file being used... " message was when I was using a "template" Project and just Importing new Assets into it. Only happened once.
    In that case, I started from my "template" anew, and re-did the Importation. Worked perfectly second time around. I assume that this was a Cache problem of some sort. As I had not modified any of these Assets, just Import_As_Timeline and as Asset and added my Audio to the respective Timelines, I do not think that could have caused the problem. I also have Indexing turned off for all HDD's and all folders (see next).
    One question on your OS setup: do you have either Windows' Indexing turned on, or any other indexing turned on?
    The problem with Assets not Importing is a real concern. Since this just started happening, I'd look to what is different about these Assets and this Project, and what might have changed in your program and with your system. Are these files located someplace different, than with your earlier Projects - an external HDD, for instance? When something works one day, but not the next, it almost has to be a change someplace: OS, system, program or a difference in the Assets themselves.
    Now, sometimes I attribute FU's to the "phases of the Moon," but Jeff, Neil and Ruud usually chime in that it was OE (my OE), and they are always right... [Grin]
    I agree with you about updating your OS later, when this Project is finished.
    Also, tell us a bit more about these particular Assets, please.
    Last, try creating a "test" Project and attempt to Import some "known good" Assets into it. Do these work, or do you get the same behavior, as with your current Project?
    Good luck, and thanks for all of your contributions to the Premiere forums,
    Hunt

  • Photoshop CS3 Standard - creating animations HELP

    I am afraid that the new CS3 Standard that I recently purchased does not have any animation possibility in package. AM I WRONG? Please tell me I'm wrong. I have used old versions of Imageready and found it was great. Can I create animations including remote animations for web using the CS3 Standard package??? It doens't have Flash or Fireworks in it or if it does, I can't find it.
    Which is the best software to use for web animations including simple and remote and drop down menu animations???
    Gina

    There are ways to do nearly everything that ImageReady did but some of them are pretty convoluted.
    There are literally thousands of forum postings about this inconsiderate act of Adobe and a few blogs which give detailed instructions on how to get around its absence in CS3.
    The easiest thing is to keep or re-install CS2!
