Problems Installing CS3 after CS4 install.

About 3 weeks ago or so i downloaded the beta for Dreamweaver CS4. And just a couple of days ago i tried to reinstall Flash CS3 from my CS3 Master Suite and i got this message.
Component install failed. The original installation media has been moved or deleted. Please replace the media at its original location: C:\Documents and Settings\Lucas\Desktop\AdobeCS4\Dreamweaver CS4 Beta\payloads\AdobeALMAnchorService2-mul\AdobeALMAnchorServices2-mul.msi
Right now i am trying to uninstall the DW CS4 but has anyone ran into a problem like this or have any advise on how i can fix this?

>SURELY that is implied?
Absolutely not! My guess is that the average user knows what "beta" means and the implication not to use it for real work, just in case. If they can take the time to warn you about that then they could at least let us know of potential problems in simply removing the damn thing. In fact, not so much removing it, I can live with it on my machine, it's the realization that it can seriously interfere with further installations - of their own software! If I remember correctly the beta release was displayed prominently on the Adobe homepage - "BE THE FIRST TO TRY IT!" or something similar, the implication, to my mind, is that it's safe to download.
With my fingers crossed, I hope that my upgrade to CS4 will be trouble free so it may not be a problem, but it obviously is to Lucas at the moment. I've downloaded numerous betas and removed them without any problem and assumed Dreamweaver CS4 would be the same. As I said, the average user thinks of the bugs being in the operation of the program. I now know that there's much more risk involved (with Adobe at least) and I'll be more cautious in the future.

  • What's the proper way to remove CS3 after CS4 install without screwing up Acrobat?

    During CS4 installation, I had some serial number issues with Acrobat. It turns out that even though Acrobat is part of the creative suite, the licensing for it is different. I've got all of that sorted out now and CS4 is successfully installed. Now I need to remove CS3, but I don't want to remove any shared components that would disable or affect Acrobat.
    Should I just remove the CS3 folders in my Applications folder or should I use the CS3 Uninstaller?

    I can't run any of the CS3 apps because of the Acrobat licensing issue that I mentioned earlier. Therefore, they're just taking up hard drive space now. I also have a suspicion that CS4 and CS3 might be sharing resources? Can't quantify that but quitting CS4 apps takes forever and shutting down the machine after quitting CS4 apps takes even longer.

  • I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial

    I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial #. How can I get it to allow me to continue using my software?

    If you had registered your CS3, you can get the serial number from your Adobe account when you log in through the Adobe corporate web site.  Just go to My Products to find it in your account.
    Adobe applications show you a truncated s/n to discourage software piracy.  Legitimate Adobe s/ns have 24 digits.

  • Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
    I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
    I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

  • Strange yellow color cast after CS4 install

    I just ran into a strange problem helping a friend install PS CS4. Everything seemed to go fine, but now all of a sudden his images are displayed with a strong yellow tint. I don't mean a slight color cast, I mean a STRONG yellow tint. The images appear the same in Photoshop, the Bridge, and even ACR. I re-calibrated the monitor (Gretag McBeth) and generated a new profile just be sure, but that wasn't it. The same images viewed in other applications (Picassa, opened in a browser, etc.) on the same computer display normally. This appears to be only Photoshop related. What's also interesting is that CS3 now exhibits the same problem after the CS4 install.
    I reviewed all the color settings and workflow, and nothing is out of the ordinary. The Nikon raw images were imported via ACR, and opened in Photoshop with ACR workflow options set for 16 bit/Adobe RGB. Photoshop working space is Adobe RGB. I also installed the 11.0.1 update. But here are what may be a couple of clues. First, it's not just the image files that look bad. The colors are awful in the color picker in the toolbox. The entire color picker slider is almost all yellow and orange. And here's another good one. We tried importing some new raw images via the photo downloader in Bridge. With the downloader in Advanced mode, the image previews before download show the same yellow cast. But after I click the Get Photos button, the image colors appear correct as they flash on for a couple of seconds while being downloaded. This has got to be a big clue for someone. What's different about how the image is displayed during that two second preview during the actual download?
    The PC hardware is a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell tower (2G ram) running XP Pro w/SP3, with a nVidia GeForce 7800 graphics card, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I'm thinking maybe a graphics card issue or corrupted system profiles, but I'm a Mac and he's a PC so my PC troubleshooting skills are limited.
    Has anyone else seen a problem like this before?? Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Strange item in desktop dropdown list after CS4 installed

    Since installing CS4, there is a new item in the dropdown list when I
    right-click on my desktop
    The new item is "Adobe Drive CS4". It has two items showing under it. They
    are "Connect to", and "New Project". The "New Project" is greyed out, even
    when Photoshop CS4 is running.
    Can anyone advise me what this is all about?? CS3 is still installed, but I
    will be removing it shortly. But it did not create any such item in the
    list.
    Ron Hirsch

    OK, so I now know what it is. But why is it there in the dropdown listing?
    If I click on "connect to", a small window opens, And, this last time that
    the window opened, it actually had text in it explaining what you did
    explain. Previous times had nothing in the box explaining anything.
    I don't feel I have any need for Version Cue or Adobe Drive CS4, but I see
    no way to change anything there. I did not install Verson Cue when I
    installed CS4. I don't see it in my Windows services listing, nor in the
    list of many startup items. I'd like to uninstall Adobe Drive CS4. I see a
    listing the XP programs window of "Adobe Drive CS4". But I see no path to
    get rid of that. Is there a path to do so?
    A new search in Google turned up the following
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Any of you who have installed Adobe CS4 will know you will get a context
    menu entry for Adobe CS4 Drive, even if you chose not to install the actual
    program so effectively the entry is useless. After some googling and
    experimenting found two ways to remove it.
    1. Install & Uninstall
    Install Adobe CS4 Drive using the installer then uninstall it. This seems to
    get rid of it.
    2. Manual Remove
    Open Regedit and delete these two entries.
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C 4-49B5BFB69795}
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C95FFEAE-A32E-4122-A5C 4-49B5BFB69795}
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    I'll probably do the Registry editing

  • Install CS3 Over CS4 Demo

    I've given my daughter my old CS3 Design Suite. It is properly de-authorized from my computers. I am running CS4.
    She tried the CS4 30 day free demo. She has since "uninstalled" it from her MacBook Pro.
    She's trying to install the CS3 Design Suite and gets a message "Install the CS4 disk".
    What is the trick to installing CS3 when you have previously had a trial version of CS4?
    Thanks.
    Steve

    She probably needs to run Adobe's CS4 Clean Script. Here's the link:

  • Problems with CS3 and CS4 installations

    Hello, I have a problem when I install any product CS3 or CS4. When the program starts establishing, a window appears in the one that says " verifying the profile of the system " but the window being blocked always to 90 %. Does someone know the solution?
    Thank you.

    This is a fairly common problem.  Has to do with orphaned files on your system which have to be cleaned first up to make it work.  Use the search above and type in      installation fails at 90%.

  • Solution to High CPU Utilisation With *Nothing* Running After CS4 Install on Mac OS 10.6.1.

    I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem. (If anyone else even notices the problem.)
    Another possible title [to help with people searching for the solution] "Computer runs slow after installing CS4 on Mac OS 10.6.1 Snow Leopard"
    I just purchased CS4 Design Premium and have been trying to install it on a fresh install of Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and whilst everything appears to be fine, my CPU sits at 60% with *every* application closed. The instant I uninstall CS4 the CPU drops back to 1-2%. I've conducted this test twice already---that is installed CS4 on a fresh Snow Leopard twice over.
    To be clear this isn't resolved by restarting, as is the solution to one known bug mentioned in the CS4 read-me.
    I did eventually solve the problem. The tech support guy at Adobe was useless, even though I told him that I had re-installed twice and once re-installed Snow Leopard, he had me run the Adobe cleaning utility thingy. Three hours of re-installing (for the third time) and another 700MB of updates (from my precious download quota) and I was exactly back to where I started.
    Then when the updates for Version Cue and Adobe Drive failed to install, it got me thinking. Looking at the box it states that Java is needed for Version Cue Server. That being a unique requirement and the update for that particular program failing, sent me on the search. I eventually found the directory containing Version Cue Server and moved it. I next planned to restart but I didn't have to, the instant I moved the directory my CPU usage plummeted from 60% to 1%.
    I've been working on this for days and all I had to do was issue the command.
    mv /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Adobe\ Version\ Cue\ CS4/Server ~/Disabled
    *sigh*
    David.

    Thank you for posting this, I just spent the last 72 hours trying to figure out why my macbook was suddenly burning up my lap (and my battery) without any visible processes in Activity Monitor. This is a pretty major bug (and not the first major one by Adobe on mac) but I am just glad that I didn't need to do a full reinstall. Getting rid of Version Cue takes care of the problem straight out. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, hopefully others will find this before trying to track down other sources.

  • "Open With" menu all messed up after CS4 install.

    I've got at completely fresh install of 10.5.6, and another person I know is having this same issue. In the "Open With" display in the Finder using a contextual menu, Photoshop is show a long, cryptic name. Specifically, it says:
    i Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0 (11.0x20080919 [20080919.r488 2008/09/19/19:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch]))
    How do I make it just say "Adobe Photoshop CS4"?
    Thanks

    Well, I certainly didn't apply any strings or haxies whichever they might have been. and then forgot about them, no, no such thing. On principle I don't mess with either the system or the applications.
    I am on an Intel iMac with 10.4.6 at home, åainfully little rAM, but that works anyways, have an Intel MacBook alu for work (previously not so long ago a black Intel Mac Book), with max RAM possible.
    Our users (Scandinavia's largest daily newspaper) have either Intel MacBooks or MacBook Pros with either Leopard or Tiger, our editors have G5s with Tiger (and since last week some of them now run Intel iMacs with Leopard).
    I have personally never seen the problem described or got any reports of it either (we have several hundred of users). Our users do not yet run cs4, but all our editors do their own image-works and use Photoshop daily, CS2 or CS3. Our photographers run Cs3 on Intel MBs or MBPs in either Tiger or Leopard.
    When I installed PSCS4 (premium design suite) I had both CS2 and CS3 already on my personal machines. Since I've gotten rid of CS2. My personal machines have on their main systems never seen any betas, personal or other, or run any trial versions (anything like that has been run isolated in other systems). I've run Leopard since the day it was released and all updates released afterwards. I never run DiskWarrior (don't own it), but I have meticulous control over my fonts (nowadays not using any font managers; FontBook is there obviously but I only use that for info about fonts not for activating), but used to use Suitcase for years previously, without any problems.
    And I have never seen the problem described. Not in CS4 and not in previous versions. So I think something else, whatever it might be, might be influencing on it and causing it. Fonts? Non-compatible plug-ins? System-haxies? Not saving files locally but over the network? Not having the correct settings for saving the file? Hard to say. File being messed with between different versions of the applications and different applications? Could be anything.
    What would be nice to have would be a file-history function like the one in InDesign where you can see what versions and stages the file has passed through and where it originated version-wise. But PS doesn't have that.

  • Browser not supported after CS4 Install

    I installed CS4 Design Premium today and have been having browser trouble since. I'm getting alerts from multiple websites that state that my browser is not supported or that my system does not meet minimum requirements (veer.com, netflix.com). I have used all of these sites in the past with no problems on the exact same computer and system.
    I'm receiving this message in both Firefox 3.0.10 and Safari 4.0. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
    In case it matters, I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz with 4GB RAM, OS 10.5.7.

    I ran into a similar issue recently. Samsung HDTV used to work fine via HDMI from my Mac. After upgrade to Mavericks, the TV would just show a "Mode not supported" message.
    Simple fix did it for me:
    * Connect the television to the Mac via HDMI cable as I normally would.
    * Power on TV and set to correct channel.
    * Go to System Preferences|Displays
    * Click the "Gather Windows†" button, which brought a hidden, 2nd Display window onto my Mac's screen.
    * Using this 2nd window, I was able to configure the resolution for the Samsung HDTV; in my case, 1080p.
    † Note the "Gather Windows" button is only visible when multiple displays are connected and detected - which is the case when you see this "Mode not supported" message.

  • Unable to install Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 after CS4 install

    I have no idea why this could be, but I have recently installed Adobe CS4 Web Standard without Dreamweaver, then Dreamweaver CS5 edition on a clean install and as I was about to install Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 from an installation CD I got this message:
    "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed.  Setup will now terminate.
    Thing is... I never installed Adobe Acrobat on this machine after the rebuilt, and I can't see it in the listing  of my installed programs, so why do I get this message?
    I would like to know, what can I do that Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 continues with the install.
    Are there applications in CS4 that send this false alarm of Acrobat already being on the machine?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you looked at the add/remove programs list to be sure there is no part of Acrobat there? You might use a registry cleaner (MS or CC typically) to clean out any related issues for Acrobat. I agree with you conclusion if AA has never been installed, but CS4 may have been the culprit in the installation process.

Maybe you are looking for
