Required resources are missing.  Can't reinstall CS3

I had to erase my HD.  When I tried to reinstall CS# I keep getting a message "required resources are missing"
I've tried from my DVD and from a fresh file (2.3GB ); no luck.  Please help
I tried to confirm the uninstall, but it was no help.

rpaitich,
There are quite different experiences with the seeming compatibility between Yosemite and the different CS versions,
You may wish to roll back from Yosemite to Mavericks and wait to see whether your issue will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest. And at least for some, it has made a real difference to download the JAVA from Oracle rather than from Apple.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone.
On the other hand, this website seems to indicate that someone has made Yosemite work with almost all CS/CC versions.

For each version, different issues may come down to some specific and maybe inconspicuous detail(s).
Allycs has the solution of CS3 just crashing on startup in post #10 in this thread:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1610653
1) Open System Preferences > Java
2) Wait for the Java Control Panel to load
3) Open Adobe Illustrator (while keeping the Java Control Panel window open)

    install crashes with error msg "required resources are missing" when using original CS3 DVD being reinstalled on new iMac OSX 10.9.  Could it be that I have a problem with CS3 version that was automatically migrated from older machine?  Reinstalled LR5 and it worked. Photoshop and ID worked without reinstall.  Migrated CS3 dreamweaver gives error 65016 when launched.  Guess I really only need DW. Thanks.

    Rhuel you can download the Creative Suite 3 installation files at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html.  Please make sure to download the installation files applicable for the softare title or suite which you purchased.
    If you continue to face difficulties then please run any available Adobe uninstaller available in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  You will want to follow this by running the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details regarding the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    In general it is recommended to install Adobe software on the new computer as opposed to migrating/copying the applications from one computer to another.

  • Re: Trying to install DW CS3 on new Mac, get this message:Startup error,Required resources are missing

    Hello,
    I am reading your thread here and I am having problems reinstalling CS3 after I did a migration from old iMac to new iMac (which rendered the installed CS3 unusable). I have "required resources are missing" error message when trying to reinstall from purchased CD. Please suggest how to help. thanks,

    Cyntlee33 the simplest option is to restore your new computer back to a clean install of Mac OS 10.7.  Then use the migration assistant again to move over only documents and settings.
    Your other option, which might end up expending a lot of additional time if it fails, would be to try using the CS5 cleaner tool to attempt to remove the files which were transferred over by the migration assistant.
    I would highly recommend the first option.  During my time with support some of the most difficult issues I have dealt with were from users who used some type of migration utility and then their software did not perform properly on the new computer.

    Do this:
    1: Download and run the Registry Cleaner of the free Ccleaner.

  • Startup error required resources are missing

    Heyelp!! I purchased CS 5.5 for my new mac running OSX 10.7.3 installed CS5.5 and it is wonderful. Problem is I prefer Dreamweaver 3 because of the frames thing, so, I thought I would reinstall CS3 and just add Dreamweaver 3, problem is when I do it reads Startup Error, required resources are missing, so, I decided to call Adobe. The response was "we no longer provide support for 3, if you cannot find a solution on the forum there is nothing you can do." Well, $1300 doesn't get you much these days, so Dear Forum readers, any possibility of a leg up here? Thankyou!!

  • How come when i open my itunes it says "itunes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." What do i do?

    last night i wanted to update my ipad to 4.3 and when i tried to; it told me i had to download the new itunes too. so i tried downloading the new updated version on itunes, and this morning when i tried to open my itunes it said "itumes cannot open because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes." what do i do?

    With that one, I think we should try getting the malware possibilities off the table first.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • Recently updated itunes to (10.22.14) when attempting to open itunes, it fails to open and I get this message: itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes.

    Just updated itunes to (10.22.14) and itunes won't open. I get message: Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes. Is there any other way to troubleshoot this other than reinstalling itunes?

    With that one in that context, I think we should check for malware.

  • ITunes (11.3 64bit) cannot run because some its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.

    just set up my new laptop lenovo x240.
    Windows 7 SP1.
    itunes 64bit 11.3
    first install went fine. then I tried to move my preexisting library. the library did not show the apps. so I tried around. Treid to re-install itunes.
    Since I did, after the re-install, iTunes gives me the error message "iTunes cannot run because some its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I tried the  -_> link: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    unfortunately it did not resolve. please, advise... I am quite desperate... and surprised this is happening, since I am on a clean corporate laptop.
    perhaps, can someone also steer me to a corner, where I can deactivate the cloud install pop-up ones starting iTunes?

    See the advice given in the user tip:Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for a very workable approach.

  • ITunes 10.6.1.7: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." ?

    Fakt:
    iTunes 10.6.1.7 Fehlermeldung: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Jeder Versuch iTunes zu starten war bisher vergeblich: unter anderem auch das Vorgehen nach Artikel HT1925 der knowledge base.
    Frage:
    Windows XP Neuinstallation und/oder Installation einer älteren iTunes-Version als letzter Ausweg?

    Antwort und Lösung eine Woche später:
    Deinstallation und Neuinstallation von iTunes 10.6.1.7 produziert dieselbe Fehlermeldung.
    Es hilft nur eine Reparatur von iTunes unter Systemsteuerung / Software. Allerdings muss hier Windows XP mit Hilfe von Ausführen / msconfig im benutzerdefinierten Modus erneut gestartet werden - ohne APSDaemon, Avira und Skype zu laden!
    Die Fehlermeldung unterblieb, die Reparatur schritt voran, meldete Erfolg und benannte eine wohl defekte Datenenbank unter C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccountName\My Documents\My Music\iTunes um in:

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.

    HI daddio,
    Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
    I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

    Reinstalling iTunes simply replaces the application.  It shouldn't affect your media.  You do have backups, right?
