Re-installation of CS3 error

I am attempting to reinstall CS3 on a new hard drive and getting an error message that I need SP2 or later, but I have the latest version of SP3 already! Here are the facts. Please help me to figure out how to re-install CS3 on my system. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
1. Windows XP SP3
2. Hard Drive is partitioned with CS3 on the D partition. Windows itself is on the C partition
3. Adobe Acrobat 10 and Flash Player 11 are installed and working. They are on the C partition.
4. There is only 18.5Gb available on the C partition at this time.

This did not work. I received the same error message. I tried it again after doing the following and still getting an error message saying I need to install Win XP SP2 or later even though I have SP3 installed.
- I downloaded and ran the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and it did not find CS3 on my system (Option 1), but it did 'find' CS5 (Option 2 - which I don't have) so I ran the utility and then did the same for Acrobat (Option 3.)
- Deleted caps.db files (2) that must have installed when trying to install last time and failed.
- After using Advanced System Care to locate and delete any remaining files or empty folders, cleaned out the Recycle bin and restarted the computer.
WTF???
Does this have anything to do with my hard drive being partitioned and Adobe CS3 not being on the C drive with Windows?
Also, I have Eset Smart Security 5 installed. Could this be blocking the installation? (I'm not getting any notices from Eset.)

Enabling Installation of CS3 and CS4 products that will not install on Windows 7 64Bit.

Adobe installers are not known for their helpful or forgiving ways & I have more than once had to reinstall Windows when installation of CS3 and CS4 products has failed with patently inscrutable errors.
The background to the current issue that I was attempting to install PS CS4 on a W7 system which already had CS CS3 installed. The CS4 installer threw up inscrutable messages indicating that the installation could not proceed and to contact Adobe (they are joking right ? Their phone & web support is notoriously UN-helpful).
After reading through threads suggesting that I uninstall CS3, apply CS3 and CS4 cleaning scripts I was in exactly same position I have found myself in on least 2 occasions with WinXP. By this time I couldn't event get CS CS3 to reinstall!
Then I decided to review the event log and found a number of installer events thrown up by the Adobe installers resembling "Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\xxxxxxxx".
I tracked down this very helpful solution which allowed me to change the registry permissions on the parent key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\ Components and propagate the new permissions down to the child keys.
http://www.okino.com/conv/changing_windows_registry_permissions.htm.
My advice is to follow instructions for "A More All-Encompassing Solution" and propagate the permissions right down to all the child keys as I could see a number of separate adobe installer errors in the event log. Also note the instruction to change the Owner from 'System' to 'Administrators' in Advanced settings. This is necessary in order for the Permissions change to be accepted and replace all the child object permissions.
As with most registry changes good advice to backup your registry hive first (although I didn't; by this time I was already expecting to have to reinstall Windows) and restart your system after making the registry changes before attempting to install / reinstall CS3 or CS4 products.
Hope this solution works as well for others as it did for me as the Adobe support on this issue has been next to useless.
[P.S. Q: Did you hear the joke about the guy who worked on product installation at Adobe rocking up at job interview with 'Adobe Installation Project Team' on his Resume? A: That that is the joke! If you wanted another job in installation development you would hardly admit to experience at Adobe ;)]

We don’t want people messing with the registry when they don’t need.
My apologies John I didn't realize that I was addressing the official custodian of Photoshop.
Incidentally my advice is intended for others in a similar situation who find themselves stalled during installation and otherwise contemplating a re-installation of Windows. I believe this would be obvious to most forum participants who had actually read my original post.

How do I fix the following error Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud Installation failed. Error Co

Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

What is the current version of Ps (Help->System Info), if you have 13.0.1.2 already applied then you need to re-install Ps to get Ps 13.1.2.
As 13.1.2 is a subscription patch this would not get applied over 13.0.1.2.
If this still does not resolves your issue, Kindly mail me installer logs.

Very frustrated, here! I have no updates on either computer, now!

Hi Jules,
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
My recommendation would be
- Uninstall PS via Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
- Create a new user with Admin rights, log out of your current account and into the newly created one
10.7 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600
10.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
- Reinstall Photoshop CS6 via Adobe Application Manager
- Try to update to 13.1 using Help > Updates in Photoshop CS6

I cleaned my computer lately and it won't let me open iTunes, saying I don't have the correct permissions, so I backed my iTunes files up and deleted it. Now when I try to install the free download it says 'The installer encountered an error...

The installer for iTunes free download says when installing "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." I have been to the help page and run Disk Utility (not sure if that's worked or not) and it still comes up with this. Please help me get iTunes back up and running. Thanks

Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the iTunesX.pkg receipt. Drag the iTunes app to the trash.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility - reboot - then try to run the installer.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

SCSM2012 Beta installation problem: An error occurred while executing a custom action:_PopulateUserRoles

I'm installing the SCSM2012 Management Server
component on a SQL dev box. During the installation, the very last step (Import Management Packs) fails with this error:
An error occurred while executing a custom action:_PopulateUserRoles
This upgrade attempt has failed before permanent modifications were made. Upgrade has successfully rolled back to the original state of the system. Once the correction are made, you can retry upgrade for this role.
I've already verified that the account I'm logged in with has SA access to the SQL database. Windows 2008 R2 firewall is turned off.....
Has anybody else run into this problem?

I don't see anything indicative in the setup log. The setup seems to get all the way to the part where it installs the management packs. Then right after that is when the installation fails and it rolls back.

Hello there, G-Oker.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the very error message you are receiving:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Particularly:
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
