Question

CS3 master suite installation complete Finally

Finally   I Was able to get CS3 Master suite installed . all of it.

by just doing it one  to two programs at a time. ( or a complete suite) which worked perfectly.

after months of playing around with this program which was poorly designed as a suite for total installation.

the installer always would hang up, or if it did complete it would install a shell of the program but not the program.

so one day i decided to go into the cs3 setup folder and unchecked all the boxes and just installed one at a time. if they were the same suite i would jus do the complete suite.  and this process worked perfectly.

the licensing went off with out a hitch as each program asks for the license which is called for at the beginig of installation. so far each component works perfectly..

I just wish Adobe would get its developers together and design an install program that will install with out problems. just like i hear the business one does.

hope this helps..

insert DVD.

do not choose install.

choose: browse DVD content

choose: in the right panel choose: adobe cs3  (file folder)

in right panel choose setup.exe.

You will see initializing adobe cs3...

next popup will be"Manage Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Installer: System Check"

from this point it will check any adobe products on your system and show you its status,

*now a box will pop up : choose install \ reinstall.  or remove components.

Choose install \ reinstall

another window will popup with check boxes already checked  just uncheck all and chen check one or two at a time ( experiment a little here)

and install in groups of two or three, or as a single app.

upon each install ( groups or single) you will be asked to restart, and do so.

again you wil have to navigate to the folder as before, but this time

by the time i finished this over a three day period i had all suites installed. ( dreamweaver had already been installed with no problems) and registered most so far. still have a few more registrations to go..

good luck and you can email me if any questions as i have spent a lot of hours as most have installing, uninstalling, cleaning up and over again.

Rog.

    You make a good point, Buko, even though I don't agree that it'd be a good idea to follow through.

    It points out that we still have a long way to go to reach people who SHOULD understand when it's apropriate to post personal/corporate/government contact info and when it's not.

    It's the people who DON'T understand security protocol and the nature of social engineering that continues to allow hackers such easy access to places they shouldn't be.

    Zip up your e-fly, Roger. Your—and your agency's—private parts might be showing to people who have no need to see them.

    Hmmm. Several attempts to upload a 4KB gif, 71 x 41px, kept getting an error message. More censorship?

    I'm sure that will be very helpful to people who have bought CS3 but not yet installed it (and are using Windows) - but CS3 is not available for sale any more, and this isn't the right place to post. Apart from anything else, people with this problem won't find your explanation here - this is the forum for talking about the forums, not products.

    Maybe you could repost somewhere more appropriate?

    I am sure people will be grateful for your efforts, but you would do better posting here:

    I had no idea where to post,

    thanks

    Rog.

    OH a side note. since I had an email address added here ( and now removed because some folks just cannot grow up.)

    (My Government email address was removed from this posting, (which I forgot is added automatically when I respond from work) and to those that spammed me, and said they should, you might just expect a response from a government employee That traces illegal activities like this. AND in case you did not know it is Illegal to post SPAM to a Government agency and its employees.The folks I work for do not take to kindly at that.

    To those that need the info I posted. I hope it works as well for you as it did for us.
