Unable to lunch Adobe CS3 on Windows 7

I just purchased a new desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I installed Adobe CS3, everything worked just fine but it doesn't lunch for some reason.
When I lunch Photoshop the window pops but that's it, when I lunch Dreamwever nothing happens and after a while an error regarding licensing appears.
Does anybody know how can I fix this? I REALLY need the CS3 as soon as possible.
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the advice you have provided on this forum. I kept getting a "component install error" for 9 of the programs in my CS3 Master collection. I don't remember the exact ones. But it is odd -- when I first switched over to Win7, the install was flawless. The second time, not so much.
I went through the forum and tried as many of the solutions as I could (when it got to making registry changes, I hesitated b/c I didn't want to lock my computer up).
Part of me wonders if there was a Win7 update since the release (of Win7) that began to interfere with the CS3 installation. I am tempted to reboot my computer again and install CS3 before allowing windows update to add all of the new security pieces. It was such a pain to fix the computer this 2nd time and I would love to not have to do it again.
Thoughts?
Rajiv

Unable to open Adobe CS3 on windows 7 home premium 64 bit

I recently got a brand new machine with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I installed CS3, everything worked just fine but when I try to open it nothing happens. Anybody know what the problem is?

One thread I found which solved my problem:Adobe uses 'FLEXNET licensing service", and the app which checks the activation needs a patch packed in "LicenseRecovery109.zip" downloadable from

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

Can't unistall Adobe CS3 in Windows XP after deactivation

Adobe CS3 no longer shows in Windows XP Uninstall Program list after I deactivated it. Suggestions?

The program is not uninstalled--I can see all the files still on the hard disk--but it no longer shows up as a option in the Add/Remove Programs utility. The instructions with CS Cleaner tool say to uninstall before running the toll, but as this is not an option, I am about to use the cleaner tool.

Unable to install DW CS3 in windows 7

Hey all,
I was given a copy of DW CS3 from my brother and it was working fine on XP, I had to install Windows 7 and now it wont install DW CS3, (but will install shared components)..
Can anyone help me?
Any information will be given if required.
Thanks
Andy

I actually googled for an answer to the new message and found a link to repair the licensing problem. The only problem now is that I have a message telling me that I have exceeded the number of activations available so that I have to deactivate PS on the old computer and then I can reactivate it on the new one. Only problem is, of course, is that there is no old computer. I useda Windows 7 disk to install the new OS on a brand new computer and no longer have the old one. As far as I know the hard drive on the old one has been formatted and erased many times. The computer shop that built my new computer takes the old one as a "trade in" and completely and securely erases everything on it!! It never occurred to me to deactivate PS on it! I guess I will be in touch with Adobe. And probably go through their telephone maze from h***. If not I apologize now. What a mess!

Unable to install Adobe CS4 on Windows 7!

I just upgraded my laptop's OS from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit. When I tried to install Adobe Design Premium CS4 Student Edition back on my laptop, it just doesn't seems to be installing anything. And after an hour or so, it just pop up a window stating that the installation failed with an Error Code 1620. I tried the installation for over 6 times since yesterday till now!
Back to the time when I used Vista, I had to create a new folder (eg. Adobe CS4) to install the software there (in that folder) and that was when it finally installed the software for me. Of course, I met the neccesary system requirements even before buying the product.
And now, even when I tried the same technique, it just won't work. I followed all the steps stated (such as restarting my laptop etc) and it just won't work! And according to the reviews on Windows 7, many people has no problem with the compatibility issue of CS4 and their copy of Windows 7.
Please save me if you have any idea on what's going on with the problem I am facing. I really need help regarding this because my whole life is going to depend on this fabulous software which I have been using it since last year for school and social works!
Any help will be deeply appreciated!!!

Unable to install PS CS3 in Windows 7 64bit

I have the 64bit version of Windows 7. I, apparently, successfully installed PS but when I click on the icon to open it I get the opening screen, but no splash screen and that's it. I finally get a message that PS is not responding. When I "X" out of PS I get a screen saying that it will search for a solution and then close PS. Nothing happens except that PS does close. I've tried a repair installation of PS. I have MS Win 7 64bit Professional installed, AMD Phenom II X Processor and 8GB of RAM, 2 terabyte hard drive. Thanks.
I have searched for an answer but haven't found anything close to this.
I did run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor before installing Windows 7 (I previously had Windows XP Home) and the only problem the advisor detected was a potential problem with Roxio Creator 2009. Obviously this is a clean installation of Windows 7 since it's not possible to do an in place upgrade from XP to Windows 7. thanks.

Unable to find Adobe AIR on Windows 7

I have recently tried to download Adobe AIR and the computer reads that it was successful. However, when I try to locate the Adobe AIR application all I can find is the Installer. I tried looking in the OS, searching, basically looking everywhere and I can't find it. When I try and reinstall the program it just reads "This version of Adobe AIR is already installed on your system." But it didn't install, at least not correctly, because I can't find it. I'm not a big computer person so any help would be much appreciated!

Unable to download Adobe Reader for Windows 7

I purchased a Dell Intel Core Dueo CPU, 64-bit with Windows 7 Home Premium computer about 9 months ago. I never was able to get the Adobe Reader to work so I started using Foxit. I would prefer to use Adobe, so recently I tried to update newer version (Adobe Reader X). It keeps giving me the error message (when I try to download it): "can't retrieve essential parameter (16291.301.749)"
When I tried to download an earlier version of Adobe (like Above 9.1), it downloads and appears to be there, but when I open it freezes up and never opens.
Please help - thanks -

WOW! Double WOW -- you are awesome. This worked perfectly. I've owned the computer for almost a year and Adobe has never worked. Thank you so much!!

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:

Unable To install adobe air on windows 7

+ I tried installing in safe mode, didn't help either, it said maybe administrator didn't allow to perform the action, but I tried it via run as administrator!
Please help me, thanks in advance

Hi,
Could you try Windows Install Cleanup tool (http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459) to remove AIR Runtime and then install the latest AIR Runtime again? To install this tool on 64bit Windows, you need to run this program in compatibility mode for WinXP SP3 (right click the exe file, Properties -> Compatibility)
Thanks,

Adobe CS3 install fails on new iMac

I have been unable to install Adobe CS3 Design Standard on my brand new 27" Core 15 iMac. I have followed all the suggestions from Adobe, but only Acrobat installs okay. Can't get Photoshop, Illustrator, or Indesign to install. On the Adobe forums someone told me that CS3 is not compatible with Snow Leopard. However another post quotes Adobe claiming that it is compatible. I am wondering perhaps if it is the installer that doesn't work with Snow Leopard. Is it possible to boot up this new iMac with Leopard, installed on an external drive? If so, perhaps I could then install CS3 on the internal drive and then re-boot to Snow Leopard and all would be well?

The new iMac will not run an earlier OS. Besides, even if it could, Adobe can be very fussy about allowing you to move things from one drive to another. It might see it as an unauthorized installation on a second computer. CS2 runs on mine, but don't know about 3.

Not sure, but you might have to first de-authorize it on the Leopard to get it to install on the Snow. There is a "transfer" option somewhere.

Ok so I downloaded the most current installer CS5.1, My previous installer was version 5.0. It did install fine fully updated to my license version. I just wanted to update in case anyone in the future has a similiar experience. Too bad this advice was not offered by the "experts" here.
