This is the message that comes out when I try to download the CS3 Design Standard from online since my laptop does not have a disc drive. What do I do?
Johnh28792 typically if the Setup.exe is failing to initialize then it is due a previous installation being recovered or moved to the new computer.
I would recommend you run the Programs and Features Control panel and remove all installed Adobe applications. Once this is done you will want to run the CC Cleaner Tool available for download at Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems.
If you continue to face errors with the installation then please review the installation log files to determine the exact cause of the installation failure. If Setup.exe is closing then the relevant errors may be available in the PDApp.log. Johnh28792 you can find complete details on how to locate, and review, the installation log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | Adobe Creative Suite 3, Adobe Creative Suite 4.
