Is CS3 Web Standard included as part of FrameMaker 10?

[Guest]

I installed FrameMaker 10 on my PC, and apparently Adobe's CS3 Web Standard was included in that installation.  Is Creative Suite 3 Web Standard a necessary component of FrameMaker, or can I remove it from my PC and still use FrameMaker 10 without a problem?

With a nod toward the movie Fargo, I'm not so sure I agree 100% with your policework, there, Lou"... (see the 3:00 mark of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n3k0gqtYgM)

FrameMaker 10 installs with, well, FrameMaker 10. There's a native capacity to create PDF, ExtendScript, probably some version of the Bridge product, but a distinct lack of other components (except, maybe, Version Cue?).

You can most certainly remove the Web Standard install, if you don't need the apps in the included screenshot!

TThe CS3 Web Standard was never part of FrameMaker and wasn't in the FM10 installation. It is not needed for FM.

Thanks for the information.  You note that CS3 Web Standard is not part of FrameMaker, is not included in the FM 10 installation, and is not needed for FrameMaker. 

We have several people in our work group that recently had FrameMaker 10 installed on our PCs.  Afterward we found that those same people now have the Adobe CS3 Web Standard application on our PCs.  We did not have CS3 previously, and none of us has taken any action to request or install CS3.  No one else in our work group other than those of us with FM10 have CS3 on our PCs.  Since FM10 and CS3 are both Adobe products, we thought that CS3 had been included in the FM10 installation.

Have you got the full version of Acrobat installed? Maybe it came along with that.

The CS3 Web Standard is not an application, but rather a bundle of specific Adobe applications aimed primarily at web developers. Are there any specific applications that you are concerned about?

The standalone Abobe FrameMaker 10 installation only adds FrameMaker, the PDFCreator (a headerless version of Distiller), RoboScreen Capture and the Extendscript Toolkit.

If you are installing from the TechCommSuite distribution, there are other applications that can be installed as well.
