Solved: Activation Code Required [CS3 is dead] – Adobe Support Community – .Review: Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 | CreativePro Network

I am trying to install the software aon dozens of systems in a school and I keep getting an error but not every time — at the end of the installation — that it has failed to install Falsh, InDesign and Photoshop although everything else installs fine.

But after all xdobe attempts on different machines with from the scratch new installed XP OS I am absolutely sure that it is the poorest installation routine I ever saw in my life.

When you please insert adobe dreamweaver cs3 to continue installation free Adobe support it takes at least a day to get an answer — during weekends even longer. When I double click to run the application, I get the icon of fee small circle Ppease guess replaces the hourglass in vista but then after a second or two, he plsase and nothing happens.

The question is — is this the same for CS4 and CS5? I have paid my dues over the years of purchasing software year after year. So I have a real hard time having to pay for monthly subscription to use a software that I have paid for many times over that still works for me.

Unfortunately when you are forced to go from an XP environment to Windows 10 then again you are forced to make some changes with certain programs. No problem with the installation and the software works!

Authenticate as an administrator, then select Remove Components and follow the on-screen instructions. Note: 1. Choose Activate from the Help menu and follow the on-screen instructions. Note: If you decide to purchase a different product than you installed for the trial, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the software. For more detailed information, visit www. After evaluating a Creative Suite 3 product, you must uninstall the trial and install the product using the volume licensing media and serial number.

Please contact your reseller or authorized Adobe licensing center to place an order for a volume license. Now start the DreamWeaver Setup and let him disappear.

Make changes in ContainerProxy. Its not working for me hun.. One had the setup. Hey Guys, I think i solved it!! Try to install Dreamweaver for the first time it stops in initiliazing… 2.

Open your “Doccuments” from the Desktop 3. In there you will find a folder named “Downloaded Installations” 4. In the folder “. Install it!!!!! You have to reboot in order to complete the above installation 7. Now you should install Dreamweaver just fine! I have wasted a lot of time today trying to install CS3. The problem is exactly the same as described by Ken Morris in message 45 and my computer set up is virtually identical to his.

Its alot easier then it seems. Just spent a second one hour session with Adobe tech support on the “disappearing installer” issue. Finally got CS3 installed. B run the Adobe CS3Clean script all four levels. D etc. Nothing worked. Installer started, then just disappeared. They are not part of any folder or file discussed here.

Right-click on the file “ContainerProxy. With the file open in Notepad, click Edit from the top menu , then “Go To…”. In the “Line Number” box, type , and press Enter. This will take you to line Locate the “SetSessionInitialized” variable as follows. SetSessionInitialized initValu e ; “. Delete “window. Save the file. Go back to the harddrive parent folder “Adobe CS3” and run the Setup. How easy! I phoned Adobe and was told that I should run the clean up script which I already knew about.

I eventually took a deep breath, said a little prayer and ran the clean up script. These days external hard drives are quite cheap and you can just plug them into a USB port. There are two kinds of backup — backing up some or all of the files on your hard drive and mirroring the hard drive.

I already had the first kind of backup but the message with the cleanup script made me focus on software to mirror my main hard drive. Mirroring copies just not the files you work on and can see but all software and hidden settings so if your hard drive crashes you can restore the mirror and get everything back.

The software I have settled on is Acronis True Image There are not many that do mirroring and this seems to have the best reputation for reliability. Although you could use the free day trial as I did, though I will buy it soon the safest solution would be to purchase the boxed version not the download. That comes with a bootable recovery CD in case you are locked out of your PC by a crash not sure of more specific details. Regards, Murray. My copy of CS2 came on 5 CDs and installed in half an hour.

After three 45 minute attempts, CS3, which arrived on a single DVD not a full single layer either… took 61 minutes! Thx again, you the mutts nuts! When I retried to reinstall after making the changes to ContainerProxy. Any suggestions that might help me??? I have a same issue here. Installer is running well. I am having a problem trying to install CS3 extended also. My problem is very similar to this one. I have let it do this over night and through out the day, still nothing happens.

Check space on your computer and write privileges on the destination folder. My HD has about 25 gigs left! Regards, Daryl. Hello I have the same problem. Vista ultimate 64bit Creative Suite 2. I unzip the program after downloading and it unpacks itself. When I click the Setup. It flashes and then nothing, no set up, no install etc. Piping in with the same issue. Oh, my. It is the worst installer, I have ever seen. Except some very hidden folders.

Then only the shared components were installed. Not else. Now really everything. From the registry, from the folders etc. So, there were no file on my machine contained the word “Adobe”. Tried to install, but it was installing half of the shared components. Why is this setup soooo bad? Why must we use this beta or rather alpha product? I liked Adobe Products. Notice the past time.

Beacuse it was not. I then ran the setup file from the dvd drive but the. I see there are still people having problems with this. I did it on my XP computer and it ran fine. It also works with Vista definitely, as Photoshop and Illustrator are running fine on my computer. But yes, post 23 works for me. I just wanted to confirm that, and to tell the guy who criticized it and said it was in the knowledgebase that it helps. No offense intended. I am trying to install Photoshop cs3 extended on my computer but every time I run setup it just closes when it finishes loading the screen up the top of the page saying adobe setup.

The installation process simply stopped in an early stage, just after showing a pop-up window for a split second. I have been searching on the Adobe forum, but unfortunately I did not find this message thread yet. After many desperate hours I called the Dutch Adobe helpdesk. First I got some useless suggestion to update my dvd driver!? I told him that installing did not even work directly from a copy on my harddisk.

Then the guy asked me to send the installation log file. I did tip: do not send them a. After that, they did not reply for hours. Then by coincidence I found the hint of Gorodek see So anyone who suffers from an aborting CS3 installation, please try the Gorodek solution!! Walter, Yes, Dutch Adobe helpdesk is worthless: they have never been able to help me with installation issues.

Luckily we have this forum… Ronald from Belgium. Dutch Adobe helpdesk is worthless Huh! And yet Adobe justifies their disproportionately high prices in Europe by saying they need separate support organisations. No luck here — following gorodek 59 advise does not solve the problem for me on XP SP2. I had a similar problem installing CS3 that was caused by either left over IE7 beta stuff, or something screwing up my Registry Permissions.

I blogged about it recently, but in short, I needed to uninstall IE 7 to get it to work, and after that, needed to reset the permissions on my registry to get Flash Player and other things to work again. I hope this helps someone. Photoshop CS3 installation process is running fine now. Keep posting. The default install location was the desktop] 2 Ensure Compatability for setup. I finally got the installer to work by going through the registry and literally deleting every entry of the word Adobe, Master, CS3 and all file extension associations it created.

The suggestions are the beginning about editing that containerproxy. Make sure you backup your registry before doing it though. Quick question…. I downloaded it Sept.

This is all new to me and is already leaving a bad taste in my mouth with this product. Any help would be appreciated! On Windows XP: 1. In the input box type “cmd”. Phil Sadler, Thanks so much. Your solution worked for me. Ta Da! This is how I solved it. Maybe it will help someone. Then used the instructions that were written here: 1. I am having trouble getting Photoshop CS3 installed. I purchased Web Premium. I had a previous trial version of PS CS3 installer a few months back.

I had since uninstalled it. I receive the following message when installing. The original installation media has been moved or deleted. Then logging in and installing.

I have a problem opening Photoshop CS3 An Internet Explorer window appears and asks for my proxy settings which i enter the the screen goes blank and tells me that direct access to www. Step3: installed!! Simple as!! Mostly u need to update. NET files. DONE… 3 now try installin if it still doesnt work then……..

EXE which was irritating you and make u pull ur hair out and after the short loading the actual setup will work!! I followed the above steps and i am through with the setupa and the programs are running fine. This is not copied or self made. I have just compiled my experience and the help i have got from all of you reading this and writing this. I have the same problem as others with CS3 except that I am still using Photoshop 7.

It installed perfectly on my desktop running Vista Ultimate but will not install on my new Acer G laptop also running Ultimate and having much the same spec and programs as the desktop. The installation starts as usual and asks for language choice. There is a lot of disc activity for some time but eventually it all just disappears. I have tried the solution: On Windows Vista 1. Some suggested uninstalling IE7? Might that help and how does one do that — it does not appear in the control panel remove list.

Help greatly appreciated — I use it nearly every day and am soon off on another trip. Thanks, Thomas. It finally works on my Vista32 after carrying out 2 of the above suggestions. At least the above 2 steps worked for me. Hope it also works for the rest of you. HY Teo. I applied all methods and nothing helped. What the hell must we eternally experiment on computers until we crash them? This is the problem of Adobe soft, and they should have disposed of it.

But they do not care at all and we have to make guesses what prevent their soft from installing! Where is the solution from Adobe stuff? The best way out is to forget those who put a slight upon customers and find alternative soft. I had the disappearing installer problem with PhotoShop CS3. I tried everything here, no joy. After that, everything went fine.

As far as I remember, I did not even have to alter the ContainerProxy. This is getting to be quite a load of BS. I downloaded the CS4 Extended trial program and would buy the complete package no problem if it worked correctly. AVG stated that the setup. I cannot run it from the Admin account nor the User account with elevated status or as right click run as… From the command prompt running the setup. NADA I can cut copy paste rename the file to verify ownership and that works no problem.

I just cannot run it. I then changed my registry settings with a script and a Microsoft. Go figure!! I live in Bangalore India guess might as well rub it in But first, I shall join the above disgruntled folks by voicing my extreme frustration with this installation process.

I’ve owned every version of Illustrator since it first appeared as “Illustrator 88” and have been a user of Photoshop since it first appeared under that name having formerly been a bit of 35mm scan software called “Barney Scan. The first issue concerned the DVDs which arrived scratched.

With some cajoling, Adobe did send replacements. So far, ok. I next attempted to install CS4, and as many people above have noted – it would get to approx.

I tried all posted options uninstall and reinstall, uninstall and use of Adobe provided install clean-up script then reinstall until I broke down to call Adobe support. I took a deep breath and let the support folks cover all the ground I’d already covered. No help. No option but to start uninstalling everything, disabling my production machine, and even uninstalling Adobe software Captivate that was not part of the CS4 installation.

Today I finally found the 3 hours to sit down and try the installation again, having removed all Adobe products from the machine. The installation failed again, albeit differently. At least now I was not alone with these issues. It was Cemal’s posts above and his very helpful blog posting on the subject that provided me with one last option: Copy everything from the DVD to the hard drive and try installing it from there.

This took quite a while, but since there were no copy errors, I eliminated that as an issue. I started the installation, which does run much quicker from the HD. When the installer asked for the 2nd DVD, I was puzzled as to why it couldn’t find it having named the folders exactly what the DVD label was for each original disc. Off went the installer with the rest of the process! This installation still generated errors, and Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash failed to install.

I simply rebooted and started the process over again. I made sure that all the apps were checked for inclusion in the installation process and started the installation. This time, since all the content for disc 2 was already in the root of the drive, it never asked for the rest of the information. This is handy to know, although if we ever get to a 3-disc installation I’m not sure how that will work.

So, another thing for anyone stuck with a failing installation to try. Hope this helps. First, I ran into the problem reported elsewhere where the Autorun script is incorrect on disks I turned off autoplay for programs and games, uninstalled CS4 with Revo, and tried again, manually starting disk 1.

At the end of disk 2 it threw a “Thank you” dialog as if it had finished, but of course none of the main apps had installed since they are on disks 3 and 4. I uninstalled again with Revo, unplugged from the network, turned off Mcafee, and performed a custom install, omitting Adobe media player as suggested elsewhere in this thread. This time the install went smoothly all the way through. Knock on wood, all seems ok at the moment. Error Signature is AppName: Photoshop. Can anyone out there help me?

When doing those things didn’t work, I said what the heck, I’ll open “Event Viewer”-“Application” logs. Product Name: Adobe Setup. Product Version: 2. Product Language: 0. Installation success or error status: Error log: Product: Adobe Setup — Error This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package. I opened the cab file in the Adobe CS4 subdirectory to see if the missing file was actually missing.

Yep, it wasn’t there. Installing under XP didn’t have this problem. Again, what the heck. I opened that up. Lo and behold – the missing file was the first file listed in the Adobe Encore CS4 cab file. So, Setup. Too many possibilities to figure what was really happening. I re-ran the setup program. No selective startup, no registry cleaning, etc. To my delight, it installed without a hitch. Hope this helps other people to get their Adobe Production Premium product installed.

If you’re just installing one product or other product suite, look in the error logs to see what is happening. It may just tell you enough information to get things working – unlike the Adobe Support Advisor. One thought would be is that if you have other Adobe products installed, the setup app might open the first winbootstrapper cab file that it finds and give an installation error if it isn’t the correct one. Just a thought.

Did you uninstall it completely? You may need to run the CS4 cleanup script at this point, which you should be able to find using a knowledgebase search.

Oh thank you so much, Peter! It will not install because I keep getting an error message that Internet Explorer is running.

I called customer support, but did not get the problem fixed. I even uninstalled Microsoft Internet Explorer, but that did not fix the problem. I am about ready to send this thing back. If there is, close any instances of it manually. If it keeps opening up you should scan your computer for viruses and other malware.

Thank you try I did have a virus. After cleaning up my system, I was able to get rid of iexplore. Thanks again, I must note here that the Adobe Technical Support could not solve the problem. I am trying to install Creative Suite 4 Web Premium.

All goes well until the “progress” bar for the first installation disk reaches mid point, and then my computer crashes blue screen , and then reboots. My pc, an Acer Aspire notebook pc meets all the requirements for installation. I have the Vista Premium operating system installed, and have 4 gigs of ram.

I am installing it on my D: drive as my C: drive doesn’t have enough space. I’ve also tried to install just Acrobat 9 and Photoshop, but it still crashes. Interesting coincidence: A couple weeks ago, my Snagit 9 screen capture software started crashing my pc to blue screen whenever I use it. Dov Isaacs. Paul, follow Dov’s excellent advices, but also be aware that even if you install the CS4 applications on the D drive you still need plenty of space on your C drive for it to work efficiently.

This is not related, however, to the BSOD you’re getting. Naomi Shein. Tried to install CS4 design standard student licensing to my windows XP 32 computer. Able to install all with the exception of Indesign.

Is anyone aware of a solution to the problem? Thanks, Naomi. I am having the same problem, Naomi. Can’t get InDesign to install. Keeps asking to insert disk 2. My computer is an HP Vista bit. Any solutions?! Thanks Rachael. I am having the same problem installing the full CS4 suite. Adobe hasn’t been much help to this issue just yet! Any ideas anyone? Does anyone have any ideas? In my case it will just not install to the D: drive. Due to space limitations I only have 5. Been doing this for a while, even all of my CS3 Premium paks were installed there.

However, when installing CS4 Master Collection and selecting the D: drive as destination, the space available updates to reflect the space on that drive [GB], the space needed shows some 16GB, and the warning that there is insufficient space is also displayed. That warning doesn’t go away until I deselect components to get under the 5.

Then it proceeds to install, but to the C: drive! Have tried this twice, with identical results. Are you sure you got Web Premium?

Web Standard only has the standard version of Photoshop. Yes, it’s web premium. Norm, Be sure you’ve got your antivirus turned off completely during the installation. First, be sure you are logged in on an administrator account and turn off User Access Control. Uninstall before you try to re-install again, and make sure you turn off anti-virus and other background programs during installation.
