Reinstallation of CS3 on new Harddisk is not working

Question

My Mac got a new harddisk. The repair man copied all files (including applications) form the old one. Of course the applications are not working. I want to install CS3 (which I bought and have a serial number) onto the new harddisk but after starting the setup program of the trial version (downloaded from here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html) I get this error message: "Setup error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer support for assistance"
I did that and was redirected to this forum.
Who can help and how?
