This suggest to me that installation was occurring from the DVD even though I had started it from the hard drive. What's really bizarre is that although I started setup from the hard drive copy, the DVD was spinning throughout the installation. Got the same progress window and then finally a regular window telling me to stop firefox and retry. Ran CS3Cleanup levels 1 and 2 and install still wouldn't work.īefore giving up for the night, I tried copying the Adobe CS3 folder from the DVD to a hard drive and ran setup from there.
Ended up restoring the registry to a previous state, then found an older version of Windows Installer Cleanup utility that would install. Lots of searching the web for solutions to that, including massive permission changes to the registry, which didn't work. Downloaded the latest version of that, and it wouldn't install complaining about a VBScript error. Then I went down some long involved rabbit holes! The CS3 cleanup script wouldn't run because the Windows Installer Cleanup utility wasn't installed.
Install of Photoshop CS3 from the distribution DVD failed. I deactivated and uninstalled the CS3 beta. Dialog disappears and nothing more happens. I had the same problem reported here: start setup, a small dialog saying it was initializing appears and progress bar advances.
I have just been through a five-hour nightmare of installing Photoshop CS3, and appear finally to have a successful installation.
