How do I install CONTENT dvd that came with CS3 Design Standard? The APPLICATION dvd had an installer, but the Content dvd is just files. It is not clear where they go. Macbook Pro Retina. For the time being, I have pushed the files into the various application folders, which may work, but I'm noticing the fonts aren't all showing up in Photoshop

    Found this searching Adobe's site (hope it's of some use?):

     

    Note: Discs labeled "Content" contain optional, nonessential files that are not required to install the product. For example, a Content disc can contain ReadMe files, tutorials, or example files. You can install this content manually by copying it to your hard drive when you want to access the material. Most content can be copied to a location of your choosing. For instructions on installing fonts, see one of the following documents:

    I've got the same problem here, but seems no solution anywhere on the web.

    No executable file in "Content DVD", the installer from "Application Disc" doesn't have any selection for installing the "Content DVD".  Don't even have notes for copying files to PC (don't know where to put the files to make it work).

    If someone have solution please help...

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools

    and activate with your serial number.

    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 

    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 

    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    Thank you for your response. I already have the software installed and working from the Application DVD that came with my package, I'm just not sure how to properly install the files on the Content DVD. Are you suggesting I need to download the free CS3 trial instead? And then enter my serial number once the trial is downloaded? Would I want to do that if I have already installed the Application software? And could I enter my serial number again if it is already registered with the CS3 version I just installed? It seems like there would be a simpler way to do this.

    no, you don't need to redownload the installation files.  i thought you needed the extra content file and was posting a link to it.

    but if you already have those files on your dvd, just click the extra content executable.
