Silent install Adobe CS3 Production Premium Issue

Hi folks,
I've ran into a problem when trying to roll at CS3 PP onto Windows 7 PCs.
I got instructions on how to do this from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402715.html but I've ran into a snag in that I have been able to generate the install.xml file ok but when the command runs it works away for a wee while then I get: -
End Adobe Setup. Exit code: 7
I'm using the following command string:-
\\qms03\cip$\AdobeCS3PP\AdobeCS3\setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile=\\qms03\cip$\AdobeCS3PP\AdobeCS3\install.xml
I've had a look around the Internet and can't find a solution this and I wonder has anyone ever came across it before and do you know how I can solve it so I can get the application installed?
Your help would be much appreciated!
Regards,
Tony

Adobe CS3 Production Premium Installation

(Brand New) HP xw8600 Workstation
Intel Xeon 3.00 GHz Processor
3.25 GB RAM
Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 2
DSL High Speed Internet Connection for Activation
I'm trying to install the Adobe CS3 Production Premium package on my new computer. After I select "Install Adobe CS3 Production Premium" from the initial dialog box, a new box saying "Initializing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium" appears with a progress bar. When the progress bar completes, nothing happens. The license agreement window fails to launch. I've tried copying the Adobe CS3 folder to my desktop and running setup.exe alone with no success.
When I use the same disks on a different computer, the license agreement launches.
Any help you guys can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks

Windows 7 and Adobe CS3 Production Premium?

I'm about to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, and would like to know if Adobe CS3 Production Premium will install on
Windows 7 64-bit?
Has anyone experience any problems? Is there anything I should be aware of, or extra steps that must be taken during the installation of CS3?
Thanks.

It should but why in the world would you stick with 32 bit video apps if you're moving to Win 7 64 bit? You can upgrade for a pretty reasonable amount and take advantage of the new machine. Put a boatload of RAM in there and you'll be a lot happier.
You can save $40 right now on Amazon with free shipping: http://amzn.to/e7sMSp
Finally, I'm assuming that this is about a new machine. If you truly mean you're upgrading Windows, then make sure you do a CLEAN INSTALL. Do not do an inplace upgrade of Windows.

Unable to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium on Leopard

Everytime I try to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium I get the error message something like "Unable to install. Your file system is not supported". I formatted my system drive with hfs case-sensitive, could this be the problem.

I don't know if this as anything to do with it but on Tiger, CS3 didn't install if Safari 3 was installed. Nor dit it uninstall. I had to remove Safari 3 to install or uninstall CS3.
I know that you can't easily remove Safari 3 from Leopard.
Just a thought

Adobe cs3 production premium

hey (i know jerry will probably answer this) i was wondering if the adobe cs3 production premium would work on an intel core 2 duo macbook.

Who knows? This isn't the Adobe support site. A gentle suggestion - why don't you wander over to the Adobe website and look up the 'minimum configuration' for the software.

Clean install of CS3 Production Premium

Hi,
I have CS3 Production Premium Suite installed and all elements running well for over a year on a Vista PC. I am selling the PC to switch to a Mac, and I want to do a clean install of Vista and then re-install CS3 onto the machine. Will the be any registration/licensing issues when I try to re-install CS3 when it has already been registered? If there will be, I will avoid the clean install of Vista and just clean the drives.
Thanks!
Baz

It's in Help>Transfer Activation.
Though it is designed to clean up after the trial of CS3, I'd also run the Adobe CS3 CleanScript a couple of times, before doing a complete reinstall. Note: you want the CS3 version - choose carefully.
Good luck,
Hunt

Leopard Adobe CS3 Production Premium - NO FLASH PLAYING

I recently purchased a Mac Pro with Leopard, Final Cut Studio
2, and Adobe Production Premium suite. I got everything setup
yesterday, and I exported a Quicktime reference file from Final
Cut, and brought it into Flash CS3 Media Encoder. The file seemed
to encode fine, but when I try to open it, it shows that the Flash
Player opens, but the video never actually opens. I also tired to
import the FLV file into Flash Pro, and it acts as though it
imports, but it does let me preview it. The ONLY thing that I think
could have caused a problem is that I also have Sorenson Squeeze
installed, which has its own On2 VP6 encoder. Again, this may have
nothing to do with it since I copied the file to another Mac
machine that did not have Sorenson on it, and downloaded the
standalone Flash Player, and it acted the same. Any ideas on why
FLV files would not play back would be greatly appreciated. I have
ALL updates installed for OS X Leopard, as well as the CS3
collection. Thanks in advance.

I'm having the exact same problem on my Mac Pro with Leopard,
Final Cut Express HD, and Adobe Web Design Suite. I, however, do
not have Sorenson Squeeze installed. I too am up to date on all of
my software updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium

A few days ago, I opened my Adobe Photoshop CS3 Web Premium and it told me I cannot use it anymore. Same with Adobe Fireworks. It was running fine previously until THAT day.
I was told by the error message to uninstall or reinstall the progam, which I did. But after uninstalling and installing CS3 again, only Adobe Acrobat was successful. All other components failed.
Please help.

A similar problem has been discussed on the Creative Suite forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c05199a
It appears to be an Acrobat issue, but it prevents other suite applications from starting. There's a fix published by Adobe, that seemed to resolve most problems:

I just bought Adobe CS3 Production Premium and have the chance to buy the CS5 master collection upgrade.

If I buy the CS5 Master collection upgrade, can that upgrade apply to the software that is is the production premium CS3?

YOu need a new version.

Problems installing cs3 production premium: database corrupt

I have a new computer with windows 8.
On my old computer i used Premiere Pro CS3, now i tried Premiere Elements 11. I´m not happy with it so i deinstalled it and tried to install the CS3 production premium on the new Computer.
When I insert the disk and click on install an error appers immediately: "The installation database is corrupt."
I found out that there is an "Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" so i used it, but this doesnt resolve my error.
What do I have to do to install the CS3 Production Premium?
Oliver

Manually delete the caps.db in the caps folder:
Important Directories
Bob does have a point, though. Installing and using CS3 on Win8 is going to be all sorts of trouble, regardless.

Can I legally sell my CS3 Production Premium Academic?

I recently purchased an academic version of Adobe CS3 Production Premium (full, not an upgrade). It has been nothing but a nightmare and I am extremely unhappy with every aspect of the product. I have deactivated it and was forced to reformat my hard drive (low level)and reinstall Windows (per recommendation of Adobe tech support) because it completely borked my TCP/IP settings somehow and caused massive registry errors, and according to Adobe, leaves markers in the MBR that relate to the Flexnet licensing and Windows operation.
I has been well over 30 days and the vendor I purchased from stated quite clearly that I am no longer entitled to a refund, only a courtesy exchange. Since I will never use CS3 ever again, an exchange is not helpful to me.
I have already registered the software, but now have deactivated and have no trace of Adobe software of any kind on my computer. What are the legal rights concerning selling the software package, in its entirety, through channels such as ebay? If it is legal to do so, what steps must I take to ensure that the purchaser can register and use the program without my registration conflicting?
Thanks in advance,
Mark Terry

>been said, when it's constructed entirely of sweeping >generalisations with
>no reference to facts.
I'm not writing a scientific paper for peer-based review. I'm simply giving my opinion of the software and why I am desperate to sell it to recoup my losses.
I have already written in these forums time and time again with numerous CS3 related problems, as have hundreds of others who had similar problems with crashing software, botched installs, and endless headaches related to Flexnet licensing.
On top of that, in the brief period of time that CS3 did work, I found Photoshop CS3 to be less responsive than CS2 (or even 7!), and the interfaces for After Effects, Encore, and Premiere had horrible "jiggly" UI elements that would shift around with terrible redraw issues.
As an experienced computer user, my first instinct is to examine my system and reserve judgment on the software. However, after diagnostics my system was seen to be behaving normally. It's a 2.66GHz dual core system with 2GB ram and dual 8800 GTS 512 video cards, all the latest stable drivers and performs exceedingly well with all the other software I routinely utilize. Only Adobe CS3 was having this trouble; at first.
After the numerous steps taken to deactivate, reactivate, (so many deactivations and reactivations that Adobe had to "reset" my limit twice) uninstall and reinstall, running the cs3clean utility along with the Microsoft cleanup utility my entire TCP/IP subsystem became corrupted as well as numerous registry entries. Soon my system was taking upwards of eight minutes to boot up and I had no network functionality at all.
The fact that I was knowledgeable enough to rectify the situation doesn't diminish the fact the CS3 cost me not just hours, but weeks of hassle with its problems (causing such systemwide havoc as to render my syste unusable for any work at all). Only after all traces of Adobe software were entirely removed did my system regain normal functionality. This required a ow level format, according to Adobe, since they write licensing information to your MBR, to prevent people from using multiple copies of software in various boot sessions.
It seems evident (to me) that the crux of the problem is the Flexnet licensing system. It is so blunt and clumsy that the slightest problem renders everything useless. I understand Adobe's need to prevent unauthorized use, but if that means punishing the legal and the loyal, and furthermore, when it interferes with the functionality and dependability of the software, then I have to say that I will not use the software.
Whether or not the root of the problem is Flexnet, or Adobe, or my system, the bottom line is that the software simply does not do what it was intended to do.
For now I am relying on other software, which, to varying degrees, gets the job done. Of course, I'm left with a copy of CS3 gathering dust on my shelf. The box is quite heavy though, I coud use it as a doorstop and make beer coasters of the DVDs.

Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem or is it not compatible with the OS?

I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

Adobe CS5 Production Premium vs. Adobe CS4 Production Premium

Hello:
I am currently a worker at a production studio and we are thinking about upgrading our system Adobe CS3 Production Premium to either Adobe CS4 Production Premium or Adobe CS5 Production Premium. Our company was at NAB convention in Las Vegas this year and were convinced that Adobe CS5 Production Premium was the way to go. However we come to find (after purchace) that Adobe CS5 Production Premium only runs on (and correct me if Im wrong) 64 bit. Now stuck with a system we cant use on our vista 32 bit I was wondering what are the beneifits between the two and if CS5 is really that great is it worth while to upgrade my computer systems. I am sure I am not the only one to have run into this problem. Any input or advice would be great.
Sincerely,
Really Confused

Look HERE for a quick summary of the new features in After Effects. I can personally attest to the power of the new rotobrush. If you do that kind of work, it will save you a ton of time. Rendering times are considerably faster and being able to RAM preview a 30 or 40 second clip all the way through at full res is finally a reality.
Look HERE for a summary of the new features in Premiere Pro. The major improvement here, in my opinion, is the ability to preview a multi-layer timeline with several effects in real time at full res without rendering.
I can't tell you if it's worth it to you to upgrade or not. All I can say is that I'm really happy with it, so far.
