Help necessary after CS4 CS3 installation uninstall problem

Hello

I recently upgraded my computer from Vista to Win7, so I spent a lot of time to update applications.  I realized my CS2 wouldn't work and I was told that I had to at least get CS3.  I bought the CS3 and installed on my two new Win7 machines without problem.  I then discovered that CS3 is no longer supported by Adobe, so I need to get CS4 or CS5. I installed CS4 trail and decided for now back to CS3.  I had not uninstalled CS3, but was disabled, not knowing if CS4 would no longer write it or if the two can co-exist.  uninstalled CS4 via the Control Panel, CS3 re-activated and all was well on both machines.  Then, on my machine main update of Adobe wanted to update a few modules, InDesign and Acrobat Pro.  Things went very well with the update until he asked me my CS4 disc?  I have it mood the second time and fed Alternatively the CS3 and CS4 disc... he let me not put both if I swapped the drives until I was no longer able to lift my arm and when everything is done, the installation failed.

He left me with no functional InDesign.  To make things worse, activation could not connect to Adobe for some reason any.  I was able to use the phone process to activate products, but now I wanted to try installing CS3, but it wouldn't let me disable due to network issue, and there is no option to disable, internet phone or she to jump.

I called Adobe and asked for help.  I talked about the problem of turning off for them.  They said to go and Uninstall CS3 and we arrange activation after the re - install.  Knowing that he might take a long time, he said he'd call me back... never did.  I tried to help and were unable to get help.

What I have now is a CS3 uninstalled that I can't install at all, so I am in worse shape before, when only InDesign did not work.

I have DW3 on the same computer and it is very well and has been very well throughout the process.

I need a way to exorcise the PC of all memory of CS3 or CS4 so I can really start from scratch.  Is there a such a "wipe bomb Adobe" I might fall on my registry to really get rid of his insistence on the CS4 install disk need?

I am convinced that CS4 did not uninstall cleanly, leaving files or settings that still refer to CS4, in conflict with any attempt to update or reinstall the product correctly.  I hope that this happened to someone else and has found a solution, far from rebuild the whole PC.

Thank you!

Adobe Photoshop cleanup script is would have been good for just this sort of thing:

He said CS5, but it works on older versions as well (note the text at the beginning of the description).

  • installation uninstall problems under xp pro. Fix, he says: go, not in Add Remove. don't leave me not re install program

    Due to a major accident due to the power failure during the installation of the driver updates, I had to re install a good large number of programs, one being intelitype pro.

    Made the normal elimination with add and remove, but kept having the program stopped asking for the disc, even if it was in the player and had been directed to it many times.  The program kept appearing and disappearing in the Add/Remove window.  It was not found in the programs.  Finally turned to fix.  I found patches corrupted in the registry and these as well as other repaired registry issues. He also said that it had removed the software.  In re boot and attempt to re installation, I found myself back at the beginning, except that this time, that the file is that neither in the programs, nor add it delete window.  What I'm doing.

    (The accident seems to have illiminated one of my portable usb drive.  It does not show in the Device Manager.  Just, it's sitting there and a strident sound; "but that is another problem).

  • Point administrative installation for Adobe After Effects CS3 can it do?

    I want to deploy damage BUT with the included updates?. If an administrative installation is not possible, my next question is this. Updates for Adobe after effects cs3 can be scripted to install in silent mode after the program has been deployed?

    Thanks for any help.

    If you follow the link I gave, you will find the blog and other resources of the team responsible for deployment and install Adobe. They are much more able to answer these questions than those of us here on the After Effects forum who know most After Effects itself, not the surround Creative Suite software system deployment.

  • Problems with the installation or after a simple installation of vSphere Hypervisor

    Hello

    I'm just testing vSphere hypervisor and went through the VirtualCenter installation program. I made the simple installation. I recently had a class on the hypervisor, so I thought I would give it a shot with a testlab. So far, turn not 100% great. After the simple installation on Windows Server 2012, I'll log on to the device of vCenter Server (5480) and get "this webpage is not available". It seems that I can't access anything that has to deal with vcenter server. The only thing that I know that I can access is the vSphere Web Client to manage hosts, in which he tells me to connect to vCenter server...

    I have install it on 1 virtual machine. Any suggestions? Please tell me if you need more information.

    Community of VMWare YOU thanks.

    Have you tried to access the vCenter Server by using its URL with port 9443 and the username that I mentioned in my previous answer?

  • Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties uninstalling problem

    I installed Age of Empires III and two packs of its expansion. But when uninstalling, I left the Asian Dynasties and proceeded with the other two, and now I can not uninstall the package Asian Dynasties. Even when I try to install all the Asian Dynasties installation program once again, try to uninstall and fails to do so, stating the reason in the form of two missing files. Is it possible to remove the traces of the previous installation, as all the files in the installation directory have been removed?

    Hey aniket_s,

    What are the two missing files?

    You may need to rely on software from third parties to remove the traces of the previous installation of the registry.

    Please use your favorite search engine, and find one that is used.

    Before reinstalling the game, temporarily disable any anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware software running on your system, then try reinstalling.

    To get help, view your concerns the forum below.

    I bought a genuine product Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard about 3 years ago. After the initial installation (with serial number) applications worked well (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.). However, I could only use Acrobat a few weeks before the software did not react more. After this time all pdf files can be manually opened with Adobe Reader, but not with Acrobat. Because Acrobat seems to be the default program to open pdf files, nothig happens if I double click on a pdf file, or if a pdf file to be generated from a site Web etc. At the beginning, I was able to reinstall Acrobat from the CD and it would work for a few weeks yet. This has been the case for the past three years. Now, even the resettlement option no longer works and the error message "Is not a real product from Adobe" is displayed during installation. As I said, all the other parts (Illustrator, Photoshop...) work fine and I don't have a product code, serial number etc. What could be the problem and how can I solve this problem? When I uninstall Acrobat, all PDFs open automatically via the Adobe Reader software. But I need more than just to read a PDF file. Help, please!

  • Windows 7 update after the new installation fails

    This becomes a serious problem. I do not believe that Microsoft would intentionally vandalize their own operating system but, that's what I'm thinking... everything to force us to Windows 10. I do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro x 64 bit on a regular basis and this is a question. The first time that I started to meet it, I studied the problem to find that I had to install some updates before letting Windows try one it automatically. Fine, problem solved. Then, I started having the same problem again. Search again and find ago now more updates, I have to do before letting Windows Update automatically. So now I am back to the drawing board with the SAME FREAKIN PROBLEM. Seriously, Microsoft has to stop screwing of update Windows 7 system. I DO NOT PUT AT LEVEL 10 CRAP! One who knows the most recent updates, that I need to download before you let Windows Update automatically, please post a reply. I currently install the following: KO... 947821, 3078601, 3083710, 3087039, 3102810, 3109094, 3138612, 3145739, 3161664. If I'm missing anything please let me know... also, the system refuses to load the 3172605 (July/August rollup) indicating that it does not apply to the system, even if it should. Yes, I ran the update problems... Yes, I went to COM and reset the appropriate services... Yes, I ran SFC/scannow... No, none of them doesn't help.

    There are essentially 3 updates necessary for a clean installation of windows that you have updated until April 2016

    KB3020369 & KB3172605 and KB3125574 that can all be downloaded from the catalog of $ M using internet explore

    https://blogs.technet.Microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/05/17/simplifying-updates-for-Windows-7-and-8-1/

    To manually install them you will need to ensure that the built in windows update service is stopped, first the Manual value.

    Once you have completed the service back to default, switch
