Cannot install Photoshop CS3 - Installer just dissappeared

[_Chayuth_Pirotesak_]

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 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.

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.

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.
