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.

    Im having the same issue as Matthew Hirst. The installer initializes then vanishes. Ive done everything known to the digital world including completely uninstalling all adobe products and my anti-virus, disconnecting back up drives, loading from the hard drive, sacrificing a small animal, selling my soul to satan after doing the hokey pokey while naked and painted like an easter egg. No go. Im on XP-MCE. *sighs* Ah well, back to reinstalling CS2 I suppose.

    I've since removed IE7, cleaned the registry and tried installing CS3 again, still no joy. Same problem.

    I have IE7 installed on my XPSP2 pc, i'd be interested to see if this is the root cause.

    Obviously you can't uninstall IE7 in Vista...

    But in Vista IE7 is integrated part of OS...

    Try uninstalling IE 7, running the install, then reinstalling IE 7. Some people have found this helps.

    Similar problem. Installation runs, finishes and shows that Photoshop CS3 was not installed (only several Shared components). Nothing more information. It's bad, because I need logs to clarify the source of the issue.
    Tryed to log on WinXP under other User Account (as Administrator) but in this case, when this http://www4.0zz0.com/2007/04/20/19/26975031.png window open I got pop-up with something like Internet Explorer (???) script error... and everything was stopping.

    No ideas about new Adobe adventure software...
