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.
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.
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.
I found the problem you are all having installing CS3 in Vista.

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!
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.
I was having same problems with installing on Windows XP SP2. This is how I solved it. Maybe it will help someone.
First I copied everything to C:\Photoshop.
Then used the instructions that were written here:
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.
But after this I stayed in the command line, navigated to C:\Photoshop (directory with the install files) and typed setup (to run the setup from the command line as Administrator).
I am having trouble getting Photoshop CS3 installed. I purchased Web Premium. I had a previous trial version of PS CS3 installer a few months back. I had since uninstalled it. now when I try to install Web Premium I can install all the packages except Photoshop. I receive the following message when installing.
"Component install failed. The original installation media has been moved or deleted. Please replace the media at it's original location: C:\Documents and Settings\Wil\Local Settings\Application Data\Installer 3816\payloads\AdobeColorCommonSet1.0.1All\AdobeColorCommonSet1.0.1All.msi"
Well, I did everything but could not get it to install all the files. First it would install but crash my computer, then i managed after doing all the forum suggestions, to get a partial install. But on another computer we managed to install without problems. So we copied all the files of that perfect installation and copied them into the computer "Program folder/Adobe/Dreamweaver" CS3 folder that had only partial install. First time we just copied over all files and it crashed.
the second time we copied only the files that were missing. After doing that, it worked just fine. So if you can get to the point to install some of it then you can finish by using maybe another computer that installed fine. That's if you have access to another computer that had clean install. Just sharing my story so in case someone is in same situation as us.
I believe mine was related to the Internet Explorer 7 Beta problem. It is so unbelievable that this problem has been around since April or before and it is yet to be seen a fix. Unbelieveable Adobe! Shame on you!!! I am a DEVOTE Adobe client - I have them ALL and I expect better than this!
An Internet Explorer window appears and asks for my proxy settings which i enter the the screen goes blank and tells me that direct access to www.adobeereg.com is denied!
then i can't do anything,i can't even close the program, i have to close it in the task manager :(
it installs fine for me on vista and was working 'A OK' until 2 days back when it asked for the serial again...i put my serial in but than it started coming up with a 'license expired'...i than went through and deleted all of CS3 related files and tried again...same result...i deleted it again and tried i again just now...but same shitty message again...please help me guys...PS is my life
finally I found a solution
(for the disappear of installation box problem in vista)
simple and easy
just run the following command line
regsvr32 jscript.dll
from an administrator command prompt (run cmd.exe as administrator)
i found this solution in:
