Problem reinstalling CS3

It all started with an Adobe Acrobat update that would not install.  Every time you start, I have this little icon in the system tray telling me that I had an update to install.  But all attempts to do the installation produces an error message.

So I decided to try to reinstall CS3.

First of all, I have disabled the license without any problem.

I uninstalled CS3.

I tried to reinstall, but after clicking on 'Install CS3 Design Premium', I

The progress meter fills up, the window disappears and nothing happens after that.

So, I ran the Adobe Creative Suite cleanup tool...

... and that's how.  He simply stopped doing nothing at this point.

I watched ' add / remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium 1.0.log ' and found:

Error 1311.Source file not found: C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\Adobe CS3 Design Premium (E) \Adobe CS3\WinBootstrapper1.cab.  Check that the file exists and that you can access.

This is about 15% of the path to the log file.  There are a lot of things after it is not contain errors.
Anyway, you have any ideas?

Manish from Adobe has helped me solve this problem.  Had to remove the applications install Adobe listed in the Control Panel Add/Remove list.  But he wouldn't do that until we first ran the Windows cleaning tool.  I used this tool before removing the CS3, but has not bothered to look for something else.  Today, we used the tool to remove three copies of the Adobe installation and an element at the top of the list without name.

After that, all right.  Thanks, Manish!

Also, I learned that the Adobe installer spends a lot of time to search through the entire hard drive for previous installations.  So the more files on your computer, more this installer will take.

    One problem is that in the window Panel of configuration/Add / Remove Programs, it still shows CS3. But by clicking on the entry of CS3 to show all windows. It of as if we're trying to run something, but immediately crashes.

    I recently installed a new motherboard in my computer and did a repair of Windows XP SP3 installation.

    That was not smart! I'm afraid you will have to start over and reinstall Windows properly after reformatting of drives with a full format. Installation of systems is specifically related to a specific drive and partition and swapping controllers or change their mode of command affects sector mapping, and the unique ID associated with Windows specific tips for safety and startup. Those have definitely changed and now Win cannot access some of this, especially invisible sectors and the remains of your system previous page file. To start, due to this inherent behavior of Windows, a lot of your permissions of files and the properties are FUBARd. So, you are inevitably bound to run into a lot more of these problems also with non-Adobe products. You can of course spend an afternoon trying to sort it manually by changing the file permissions and setting of the inaccessible areas, but you might get faster results in just reformat everything and install win from scratch...

  • Reinstall CS3 Web Standard after the hard disk crash. Serial number, but check the upgrade is a problem - from Mac to PC, so does not match my product calling (Studio MX Mac)

    I'm reinstalling CS3 Web Standard after a hard disk crash. I have my serial number, but after entering, it does a check of upgrade, and at the time wherever I upgraded I also did a single switch from Mac to PC - so my product calling (Studio MX Mac) has a serial number starting with "WSM600"... ", while the upgrade check won't accept - Studio MX Mac is not yet available as an option. This happened once before and I had to work with a representative by phone (I had to click in a hidden part of one of the activation screens to get a number, if I remember correctly), but apparently Adobe that does more. And the page of "www.adobe.com/go/activiation" the phone message directs you to doesn't seem to have an option for this problem either.

    So, what is the replacement or her work around this problem now?

    Hi lkauffman,

    The serial number must be unlocked for activation.

  • How to reinstall CS3

    I can't reinstall CS3 after losing it re-loading Windows.  The error message tells me to first uninstall CS3, but because it is not currently installed, I can do that.  I tried to download and install the Adobe cleaning tool, but does not install either my security keeps telling me that the Publisher is unknown and could be harmful.  I have a new system with XP and Win 7 OSs on a partitioned hard drive.  I want to reinstall XP, Windows 7 makes me all kinds of problems.  (Adobe support is not available for this problem on CS3).  Any suggestions?

    The installation program downloaded was probably also an .exe file, but the file name begins with ADBE followed by other letters as dsignate the pagackage and the language and the end and more probably with _WWE.exe. This is a self-extracting compressed file that must be run first, and then run the installer from the extracted package. It is possible that the Adobe or Adobe 1 disk F: folder is root for the iinstaller excerpt, then take a look at those for the setup.exe file.

    If you can not find the downloaded installer package, and you know what it is that you have purchased (since talk you about bridge it seems to me that if you bought either CS3 Design Standard, Design Premium or Master Collection rather than a stand-alone InDesign), you can probably find the free trial here: http://technolux.blogspot.com/2010/04/adobetrialdirectdownloadlinksakamidlmio.html

    Read the instructions on the page VERY CAREFULLY. You can install the trial version and enter your serial number to convert it into a full version. If you do not know your serial number Let's hope you had the good sense to register the license with Adobe, you can log in to your Adobe account and find it (which would also you tell what version you have purchased).

    Problem reinstalling Windows XP

    I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP.  After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.  He goes back and reinstall Windows again.  I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?

    Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.

    Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

  • PROBLEM REINSTALLING ACROBAT PRO XI for disable

    PROBLEM REINSTALLING ACROBAT PRO XI and BRIDGE

    I bought a new Macbook Pro. In the process of migration of files from my previous laptop age of six year, I made the mistake of uninstalling my Adobe CC applications without first disable each one. (I must add that I have CC on another computer at home. I know that the problem of three computers with CC apps, I try to have only two. My old laptop is removed.)

    Troubleshooting call to reinstall, disable and uninstall again.

    When I uninstalled Acrobat Pro XI, it has disappeared from my computer. However, trying to reinstall, Adobe Application Manager says acrobat's "up-to-date". I saw no way to reinstall. So, I copied the XI Acrobat Pro to my other computer and it drags on my old laptop, hoping she work long enough to reinstall and turn off. PDF opens briefly, but I get an error 'Problem of Configuration, error 1', and then it closes.

    Regarding the bridge, the said Application Manager is up-to-date, but trying to reinstall in order to turn off, I get an error that my (10.6.8) operating system on the old laptop is too old to reinstall bridge CC.

    Can you help me to solve these two problems, so that I can get with the help of my applications Adobe CC on my new computer laptop?

    Thank you in advance,

    David Alcorn

    [info removed - kglad]

    with a subscription to cc you are allowed installation on an unlimited number of computers.

    However, you can only sign on, at most, two computers at the time and you must be logged in opening programs cc.  already open programs seem to work perfectly, even on a 3rd computer but I have not tested who carefully and I rarely do it (by mistake).

    and you do not enable the programs of cc.  you connect.

    you disable programs cc.  you disconnect.

    and xi acrobat could come from your subscription of cc, but that is not the last acrobat and makes me wonder if you have a perpetual license, cc subscription or both.

  • Problems installing CS3 on Windows 10

    I got CS3 installed on my PC and decided to upgrade to Windows 10. The update went without problems and my Creative Suite CS worked perfectly for several months until the other day, when I have received a message on my driver's license does not. I tried several solutions suggested for me nothing works and finally decided to uninstall applications and reinstall them. The relocation went well until the end, when the installer said that "some problems" had been raised during the installation. Problems can be summed up that none of the applications had to be installed. I tried again half a dozen to reinstall without success. There was an indication of the problems during the process, nor any explanation of why it was not possible to install. What could be the reason?

    The only other suggestion is to run the CC cleanup tool after uninstalling. This cleans the registry and nothing behind.

    Choose your application named in the list in the CC cleaning tool. Then re-boot your computer and try a new installation.

    CS3 has worked well for me until I did some major updates of Windows (mainly for MS Office 2007) 04/29/09.  Premiere Pro gave me the "Sorry, a mistake has occurred which requires the creation of be stopped. We will try to save your current project"error.  And After Effects would not load (but show up in the Task Manager).

    Then I updated my card graphics and motherboard.  Then, I tried all tips Adobe licensing troubleshooting and other suggestions from anywhere on the web.  Now I get the beautifulisor may not use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your administrator or adobe customer support for assistance. "Each program gives this error.  If I don't get the error (as in the bridge), Windows tells me that the program crashed after it closed.

    I also uninstalled a whole bunch of programs (2 games, various converters and other junk).  I tell myself that I will reinstall the Pack CS3 together ON Windows updates and uninstalled programs.  First, however, I'm going to record important things like PS brushes and actions.
