How to install Photoshop CS3 on Windows Server 2003 SP2?
#1
Hmmm...

Is this a wise idea? I think working locally is what's recommended.

You don't. It's not supported and the installer won't work. If you want a hack then go ahead and look around. I think someone posted one a while back.

Easy :). Found myself.
It`s need to change in file
/path_to_cs3_install//Adobe CS3/Photoshop CS3 Extended/payloads/ AdobePhotoshop10en_US_volume/AdobePhotoshop10en_US_volume.pr oxy.xml

text "Server2003":{"Exclude":true} to "Server2003":{"Require":true}

Close.

Ed,

Server 2003 supports much more memory than does XP.

I don't think he wants to run it on a "server". He's probably got server 2003 as his desktop os.

If you need to install the new Photoshop on your server (not that you should do such things, mind you), here's how. In the photoshop setup files folder, look for this:

Adobe CS3\Photoshop\Adobe CS3\payloads\AdobePhotoshop10en_US_volume\AdobePhotoshop10en _US_volume.proxy.xml

(My guess is you have to substitute US for whatever language version you have.) Open the file in a text editor (I used notepad2) and search for the string "Server2003" - you'll find the following:

"Server2003":{"Exclude":true}

Change it to (duh)

"Server2003":{"Require":true}
