I have an issue installing Photoshop CS3 as follow:

I have removed all Photoshop CS3 Beta manually (Use control panel, deleted files and registries) as instructed in this web and get rid of all thing involved Adobe out of my computer.

When I clicked Setup.exe, a setup windows with progressive bar (See in http://www.thetaforce.com/image/cs3installer.jpg ) appeared shortly and then disappear!
Then nothing is happenned further. No error message. It just disappeared. I wait for an hour but nothing happened.

I tried to run Windows in clean mode (msconfig -> disable unneccessary services) and also disable Antivirus and Firewall etc. But this problem persists.

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (32Bit) and have Intel Centrino Duo 2.0GHz with 1.5GB of Ram (DDR2) and 100GB HDD. Graphic shared Intel 945GM Express Chipset.

    Well, I know this sounds absolutely insane and foolish, but the

    solution  to the problem of an disappearing setup, after it initializes:

    Set  Internet Explorer as your default Browser.

    No, I have no idead why. But it worked for me.

    Hmmm... Well Michael I guess I should hire you as an employee of my Comm/Res Telecommunications and IT/Networking Administration business. I can see your attention to detail will get you far here.

    Oh that's right you don't have any certifications, and probably can't get a server/network connected to another one across a VLAN/WAN through a SSL connection (Use Google Mike, look for Cisco VLAN). I guess you can build PC's all day right? It's in high demand now.

    Yeah... I picked up that PC building skill when I was in High School before I was A+ or N+ certified. Long before I was a Microsoft/Cisco Partner or obtained my degrees. Yes plural.

    Keep hating on those who strive to succeed it gets you far in life. Peeing contests can get quite messy.

    Either way I used .NET Paint for what I needed. So good luck with all that negativity Mike and sleep well.

    I guess I can't help you. I'm not certified. However, I have it running on my machine, which I designed and built without being certified.

    Um... I stated that I did shut off my AV in the fourth and fifth sentence.

    "AVG stated that the setup.exe file is a Trojan Virus variant. Considered it a False Positive and shut that down along with the Windows Firewall and all other AV."

    I then continued on with the other fixes. Please read carefully.

    Hey Dave, got anything constructive to add to the conversation or are you going to be bitter that I have an advanced study of the operating systems and networking gear I work with on a daily basis?

    Just saying...

    You obviously did not follow the directions, which require you to disable your antivirus program during the installation. You really need to do that.
