Cannot install Photoshop CS3 - Installer just dissappeared

Phil Sadler,

Thanks so much. I know the programs, but don't ask me how the computer works! Your solution worked for me. I am using Vista Home Premium, and now I'm also using Photoshop CS3. Ta Da!

Oh, by the way, it didn't work for me the first time because I didn't realize there was a space after 32.

That method did not work out for me i am currently using the Vista 32 bit OS.

HELP ME!!

This worked for so good luck

I found the problem you are all having installing CS3 in Vista.
If you need any more help contact me via my web site where Im more than happy to help you. contact me -> http://www.htmlblock.co.uk

Manually register the jscript.dll file.

On Windows Vista32:

1. Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories.
2. Right-click the Command icon, choose Run As Administrator, and authenticate.
3. Navigate to Windows\System32.
4. At the prompt, type regsvr32 jscript.dll and press Enter.
5. When a dialog box with the message DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded appears, click OK.

On Windows Vista64:

1. Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories.
2. Right-click the Command icon, choose Run As Administrator, and authenticate.
3. Navigate to Windows\SysWow64.
4. At the prompt, type regsvr32 jscript.dll and press Enter.
5. When a dialog box with the message DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded appears, click OK.

I found the solution to the problem after looking though log files and I found an error with the code 2739. So no cleanup or all that rubbish, just follow steps above and CS3 will install as well as CS2 did!

Quick question....

Am I the only one that can't get this trial version to work? I downloaded it Sept.4 2007 from the site and I have all the pretty icons on the desktop, but NO program will run. I've looked under my programs etc and theres nothing there that will let me run the actual program. This is all new to me and is already leaving a bad taste in my mouth with this product.

Any help would be appreciated!

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. Seriously, that CS3 cleaner tool that they give you to download doesn't work at all. The suggestions are the beginning about editing that containerproxy.js file didn't work either. Make sure you backup your registry before doing it though.

re: installation of Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial on Vista Home Premium:

I got the issue whereby the installer started and silently crashed. The following seemed to fix this for me:

1) Move the installer folder from the default install location to the c:\ drive [not sure if this was required. The default install location was the desktop]

2) Ensure Compatability for setup.exe is set to Run as Administrator, for *all* users [i., click Show Settings for All Users and set 'Run as Administrator']

Installing now...

Gorodek,

Thank you for your help :)
Your solution works.
Photoshop CS3 installation process is running fine now.

Keep posting.

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. Here's the blog post: http://www.unfocus.com/projects/2007/08/31/adobe-cs3-install-headache-and-ie-7-beta-remnants/

No luck here -- following gorodek #59 advise does not solve the problem for me (on XP SP2)
