Trial DW CS3 fails WinXP sp2 x64

When selecting the option to try DW CS3 for 30 days after
install I get a message indicating that there was problem with the
installation, a reboot might be necessary or reinstall the
software. I am reluctent to spend the money on a full version to
get a cd key when I can't get the trial to work. I have DW 8
intsalled and it works fine.
My environment is as follows:
AMD64, Windows XP sp2 x64.
The installation puts the executables in the x86 dirrectory
and the installation went fine.
Has anybody else had this problem

'Alea ecta est'
Man kann über Adobe sagen was man will, aber der Support
zu meinen Problemen war wirklich hilfreich bemüht und sehr
freundlich. Leider brachte er keine brauchbare Lösung hervor.
Mittlerweile betrachte ich das Problem aber als ein durchaus
MS-spezifisches, da MS bei Vista ja verspricht, auch 32-bit-SW von
Drittanbietern zu unterstützen, wobei es lediglich nur bei
älteren Programmen zu Problemen kommen kann (Stichwort:
Kompatibilitätsassistent). Die heutige Anfrage beim
telefonischen Support von MS (AT), welche Lösungen von Seiten
von MS angeboten werden, brachte nur die lapidare Aussage hervor,
ich möge mir doch eine XP-Pro-Version (32-bit) käuflich
zulegen und Vista derweilen in den Schrank stellen. Ansonsten solle
ich mich doch gefälligst an die Anbieter der von mir
benötigten SW wenden, damit sich diese (wörtlich!)
'endlich herablassen', deren SW unter Vista lauffähig zu
machen.
Fazit: MS hat wieder einmal seinen schlechten Ruf unter
Beweis gestellt. Für mich bedeutet das aber folgendes - die
endgültige Abkehr von MS-Produkten und Einrichtung unseres
neuen Büros mit Linux. Es wird bei uns nur noch einen PC
geben, auf dem eine XP-Pro-Version läuft, um professionelle SW
(die noch nicht auf Linux portiert ist) einsetzen zu können.
Meine Bitte daher an Adobe - macht Eure SW (zB. CS3-Suite)
Linux-tauglich. Ihr könnt davon nur profitieren!

    What Adobe software are you trying to install?  Which operating system are you using?  You may also want to review Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html as the error your posted is not very actionable at the moment.

  • ITunes 8.2 won't install on WinXP SP2 64bit

    Installed my new computer (WinXP SP2/ 64bit) updated via Windows Update and tried to install iTunes 8.2 for Windows (64 bit). My system meets the requirements for this version, according to the Apple iTunes page. At the beginning of the installation I get the error "This installationprogram of iTunes requires a 64bit version of Windows Vista."
    Yes, I checked if my Windows Updates are all up to date.
    Maybe I cannot read, but on the downloadpage of this version, it says clearly that a Windows XP SP2 should do.
    So I tried to install the 32bit version, which worked for the installation. The only problem is that my iPhone nor iPod will be recognized when connected. That gives the error "Install this version in a 32bit OS".
    I like to install the 64bit version, but I don't see what I am doing wrong??

    I am also having a similar issue. I can install earlier versions of iTunes, 7 and earlier, however, my iPod is only compatible with iTunes 8 or later. When trying to install it on my custom machine with XP Pro x64 on it, I consistently get messages recommending to install the 64-bit version (which is only compatible with Vista), or at the end of the setup initialization I get an error message saying I need to have Service Pack 2 or better. I keep my machine fully updated at all times so I KNOW I have SP3. I have tried multiple times reinstalling the service packs just to make sure I'm not crazy and the Microsoft update site isn't lying when it says in my update history that I have in fact installed ALL updates available. No change whatsoever. Does anyone have a link to a fix for this? Getting incredibly frustrated trolling forum after forum looking for an answer, and talking to clueless customer service reps that don't know what I'm talking about half the time...
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

  • BOD on WinXP SP2 after installing iTunes7.2

    Hello out there,
    after I upgraded to iTunes 7.2, I received a Blue Screen of Death on my WinXP SP2 System.
    Before upgrading everything went fine, I almost had forgotten how a BOD looked alike.
    The worst has been: I even couldn't start WinXP in protected mode. Always received a BOD (message: hard failure!?).
    Luckily, I had another WinXP Installation an another partition, which went fine. I was able to rescue my actual own files from Part. C. I also tried to do a harddiskcheck of Part C from my working XP on Part. D. When I tried this, I even received a system crash (BOD)on my otherwise well working Xp System on Partition D!!!
    That's the most strange thing I ever experienced in my PC-Life.
    Anyway, I had a backup of part. C made 4 weeks ago. I restored this and then put back my own files - now I'm out of the blue and lucky with a working system again. But if I hadn't ... not thinking of all the work reinstalling everything...
    Did anyone else reveive such a heavy failure depending on installing iTunes 7.2???
    Bad work, apple - a shame for your quality-proofed works you do usually

    Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not it.
    Sometimes the boot camp drivers also fail to load for no apparent reason. Just now, after restarting from OS X, they didn't load until I shut down and restarted from Windows.

  • Database creation failed Oracle 10g x64

  • WinXP/sp2 on Bootcamp

    WinXP/sp2 on bootcamp sees my wireless network (which works fine on my MacBook) but won't connect, making some reference to a firewall. I'm on 40 bit WEP. How do I connect? It takes my password ok, but then fails.

    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Problem with OBI Apps v7.9.5 installation on WinXP SP2

    We are attempting to install OBI Apps v7.9.5 on a WinXP SP2 machine. However, upon clicking the setup.exe file, we get the following error message -- Unable to load the launcher file index. Invalid file type in the index.
    As a pre-requisite for OBI Apps, JDK 1.5.x and OBIEE v10.1.3.3.1 have been installed without any issues. Hence, not sure why we are getting the above error for OBI Apps. We have searched Oracle documentation, blogs and forums, but not found any reason or solution to this problem.
    Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you..
    Edited by: OBIGuy on Nov 2, 2009 1:00 PM

    Thank you for the input. The contents of the installation directory are as below:
    Oracle_BI_Applications
    |- doc (folder)
    |- createResponseFile.bat
    |- installWithResponseFile.bat
    |- media.inf
    |- setup.exe
    |- setup.jar
    |- version_apps.txt
    Before posting this query, I did run the setup.jar file. However, when the installation process reaches 100%, it terminates with the following error - */version_apps.txt does not exist*. Also, it rolls back the complete installation, so I do not get the OBI Apps files/directories such as DAC, dwrep, RPD, Web Catalog zip, etc.
    As shown in the directory structure, this file does exist. My guess is - since I am running the JAR file and not the EXE, it is unable to resolve the path of version_apps.txt correctly and hence throws this error. Having gone through related blogs and posts, I understand that OBI Apps can be installed on Win XP SP2.
    Any inputs?

  • IPod Touch 2G, WinXP SP2, iPod stuck in limbo (can't get it to restore)

    Hi.
    While trying to install the latest iPod Touch software update, error 1602 was displayed.
    At first we tried to restore the iPod; no luck. Then exited iTunes and restarted the PC.
    PC does not recognize the device, and cannot find the device driver, since the error popped up.
    (Note: the PC account used for the download/install is NOT the Admin account.)
    When attempting to go into restore mode on the iPod, the screen does blank out,
    then shows the Apple logo, but this is followed by a picture of "Connect to
    iTunes" message. Unfortunately, iTunes does not see that there's a device
    attached (nor does WindowsXP).
    As stated in the Subject, we are on WinXP SP2. Apple suggests SP3 (didn't know
    that when we started).
    1) Is SP3 absolutely required? Can we install the update on the iPod without
    updating the PC?
    2) How do we break out of the "Connect to iTunes" screen on the iPod?
    (Saw a posting for DFU mode, but didn't want to go down that path
    until absolutely necessary.)
    3) Suggestions on how to get WinXP SP2 to recognize that there is a
    device connected?
    4) Is iTunes 10.1.1 required for the iPod update and does 10.1.1 require
    WinXP SP3? (I think we're one version before 10.1.1 on this PC.)
    Please advise.
    Many thanks.

  • Drag and drop album art not working / iTunes 7.0.1.8 & WinXP SP2

    Drag and dropping album art isn't working for me after upgrading to iTunes 7 in WinXP SP2. Anyone else experience this problem?
    Update: Drag and drop works from a webpage but not from Windows explorer or Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.

    You only need an iTunes account to automatically get artwork. Usually artwork for CDs you import yourself is gotten from somewhere else. I tend to use allmusic.com. Occasionally I will have to use google to find the artwork though.
    Have never tried to add artwork from anywhere but a webpage though.

  • Laserjet 1018 both side printing WinXp SP2 problem

    Hello I hope this is the right section for posting this , if not I apologise in advance. I run WinXp SP2 with a Laserjet 1018 printer installed  and I need to print a document with 2 pages per sheet and I used the Print on both sides option (to save paper). When the first half of the print job is done the warning led (with the exclamation mark) goes on and I don't get the continue option (mentioned in the manual). i have tried reinstalling the drivers but with no luck. I can do normal print jobs with no problem though.

    Hi 
    You can try running the following utility at the link below. It sounds like a network issue since you are able to print fine when you give the users admin rights.

  • Nalntsrv and winxp sp2

    Hi There
    I have intermittent problem with nalntsrv service. Users receive error
    message "Problem: Application Launcher NT Service was not found to run
    the application as system user." So those applications run as insecure
    users will not work. Under task manager, the service is there!
    Sometime, reboot helps to make that service runs properly. Sometime,
    support staff has to run "nalntsrv install start" to get it running.
    Sometime, Novell client has to be reinstalled.
    Our servers are running NW6 SP4 and ZfD 3.2 Sp1. Our PCs are running
    WinXP SP2 and Novell client 4.9 SP2.
    Any clue, please?

  • CS3 fails to launch

    Hi;
    Everything was working well, then this morning CS3 failed to launch. I tried launching from existing docs and from the application icon; it seems to launch then dissappears after a second or so. No error message.
    Short of upgrading to CS5 (which means I will need to upgrade from MacOS 10.4.11, which means I will need to upgrdae from my G4, etc.) any other suggestions?
    Thnx
    Chris

    No. Likely something that affects all apps
    System preferences >> print & fax >> make sure you have  printer selected in this list?
    Flush Cache
    delete users\(username)\library\preferences\com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist
    Permissions
    Run applications >> utilities >> disk utility and repair permissions.
    OnyX
    Download onyx from apples site for your OS version and do the cleaning tab.
    Did you recently add any strange fonts, that may be corrupt?
