The installer file should have opened up into a folder(more than likely on your desktop) which you can stop there. Going into that folder you will find setup which you can click on to install CS3.

Is this your first 30days at using CS3? it will not allow you a second go.
Have you tried Winbootstrapper to remove remnants of beta version plus other bits, which comes with PS or downloaded from Adobe.
Did a virus checker stop some of the information loading on your computer?
Adobe place information on your HDD which is deeper that what you read, this is in the low level of your drive. (thats where the activation information is.) To clear your drive completely you need a low level format (not recommended) Last resort type stuff.

Also try and run
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
Lastly you could buy a copy and let Adobe sort out the problem.

evidence of adobe product but seems not to be enough. It’s hard to understand where information are stored in the system.

. I’ve removed deeply into the windows register any

evidence of adobe product but seems not to be enough. It’s hard to understand where information are stored in the system.

Its stored in a section of the HDD that you don’t normally have access to. Even if you format the HDD you will not get to it. Whats required is a low level format, which is done by booting off a floppy into DOS, "Your brand of HDD" web site is the only place to get the software to carry out a low level format. If you don’t know how don’t do it you could end up with a faulty HDD.

Best thing is to buy a new HDD and start with a fresh install then use the old HDD as your scratch disk.

Hi, I tried to install photoshop cs3 trial but the Adobe License Manager fail the installation caused by a missing path, here follows my installation log and a correct installation log (to compare):

Try using wincs3clean from adobe. You cannot do a second attempt at install until everything is cleaned out of the registry files. I had to use level 2 clean before i could get the trial version to install.

Do I can search a well known identification string onto HDD to find the exact area where adobe stored its own data?
Do I can reset only interesting data with a disk editor (like acronis disk editor)?
If I installed Adobe in the default directory "c:\Program files\Adobe…" I need to search data only in C: partition…Is this correct?

I’ve already tried but the problem is another, isn’t a license deactivation problem but a technical one: there is a path not set correctly, for ALM install library (s. the log)

So lets get this straight!

You downloaded the compressed file from Adobe.

You then expanded the compressed file to the default folder – which is on the desktop.

You then, without any alterations, run setup out of that desktop folder, Adobe CS3. This folder should contain 3 folders and 3 files one of those files is Setup. (winbootstrapper not included).

C:\Documents and Settings\Rob\Desktop\Adobe CS3\Photoshop\Adobe CS3
the folder properties 525MB with 245 Files 37 Folders (that included Winbootstrapper – mine has 2 files 1856K and 599K)

is this correct on your PC?????
