Hi,

I have been trying to install adobe photoshop cs3 for a little over a week now. The problem is when I'm installing at the end it says it has successfully installed shared components, but has failed to install photoshop cs3 and shared components.

This is really annoying because nothing that I have found on the internet helps. Other people have had the same problem, but thats because they have installed beta versions, which I didn't install! I have tried the CS3 clean-up tool from adobe - that doesn't help either!

The only other adobe/macromedia products that I have installed on my computer are Flash/Dreamweaver/Fireworks 8 - and acrobat reader 7.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
-jimmy

Hi jimmy, not sure if you read this article yet, but take a look at:

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase...cfm?id=kb401401

Start from around Solution #6 and see if you have tried that already.

If that doesn't work, Adobe has to come out with some fix soon because (as you found out), there are many users (if not all) with this installation issue.

I have checked the event viewer for errors and i found a few that say

QUOTE

Product: Adobe PDF Library Files -- Error 1335.The cabinet file 'AdobePDFL8All1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.


Does this mean that my cd that I have is scratched and its not reading properly? Or is it something else like my computer? I have tried to install it on two computers now and both times it has come up with the same errors!

Thanks
-jimmy

The cd could be scratched yes but there are two sides to the problem here. Physical damage to the cd and the files on the cd.
There is a possibility that whoever manufactured the cd managed to copy over a broken file and didn't bother to test it. If this is the case there is nothing you can do, there is a problem with the data ON the cd so you need to get a replacement.
If the cd is scratched simple story then just clean it

I'd say that a file is broken on the cd since you've tried it on different computers, also some cd drives can read disks that others can't. If a disk is scratched you might come across a cd drive that can read it well and one that will lock up the computer. I doubt that it will be a scratched cd issue, most cds straight from the manufacturer are perfect, if not close to being scratch free. Even if there are scratches it will still work most times.

To put it short, clean the cd. If it doesn't work it is a problem with the cd and you need to get a replacement.

This must be a windows problem. I had no problems installing on either PPC or Intel based Macs. Sometimes though, you get a bad disc no matter what. I've had it happen before with a lightwave disc. It was scratched from the factory. Fortunately I was able to download and use the Dongle to activate it.

I didn't have any problems with installing CS3 Photoshop. I had problems with Illustrator, and the solution was (eventually to reinstall windows) to hunt around in the registry for the folder that wasn't given system level access, it would get to the end and then say it failed to install. I followed all the steps to fix it, but it still kept reverting the registry to user access, so i had to format and reinstall, and after that it installed without a hitch.

You should try installing your CD on another computer, and see if you have the same problem.
I had this "corrupted cabinet" once, and the same CD on another computer had no problem, which means that my hard disk had bad sectors encountered when unpacking the cabinet.

yeah, i have tried it on other computers and still have the same problem. I have decided to contact adobe and see if I can get a new CD off them!

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried making an image of the cd, and running it virtually? I have this copy of NFS:MW where the 3rd and 4th cds will not install directly. They're damaged somewhat, but i created images of them, which took the drive quite a while of skipping and accessing, but finally it made it, and then it installed perfectly fine.

Thanks Grafitti, I have tried making images of the cd. There seemed to be no problem with Nero copying the disk, do it must be the files on the disk that can't be read by the computer!

How's your internet connection? since you already have the serial number, could you download the photoshop installation trial package from Adobe's site, and then use your key to register it?

   Mon May 28, 2007    Reply         

Thats a great idea! Why didn't I think of that! B) Is it possible to download the Photoshop Extended version?

Thanks

It seems you can, as long as you have an adobe account. or if you don't have one, create one.

   Mon May 28, 2007    Reply         

yeah, I think I might do that as well! It's only a few hundred MB, not a huge download! But I am still going to send the CD back to adobe and get a replacement, at least I then have a hard copy of it if I ever need one!

Thanks

Makes sense to get Adobe to refund your rightful property. Just i thought that you might as well get your money's worth during the month or so that it'll take them to replace that cd.

Yeah very true! Ive downloaded it, it didn't actually take that long! The New version is great! so much more things to do!

Thanks for all your help everyone

Why not just use a peer to peer network to download a pirated version for the cd image. If you bought the software, and have your own unactivated license key, you aren't violating anything in the EULA by using someone else's media to install it.

   Wed May 30, 2007    Reply         

Another idea yes, but personally I don't like using peer-to-peer networks because of the fact that they can be littered with virus's! I would prefer to download it from a reputable source (like adobe's website) and not from some person who could have tampered with the software ( god only knows what they could try and steal from my computer!)

Thanks for the suggestion though!

I completely agree with you on this general point. Usually, these peer-to-peer sites are not agreed for officially selling software, they usually steal a software and give it to you. So, they help you stealing software. And, of course, if you accept that they steal from the software manufacturer, you should accept that they steal from your own computer.
I think that the only way to work safely is buying your computer with an original software, and buy each piece of additionnal software you put on it, and reading the warranty terms concerning this.
Even in the freeware world, there are sometimes bad surprises, which make me recommend that you have an efficient backup/recovery methodology in case of bad software install leading to minor or major system troubles.

Totally agreed! Every piece of software that I have installed on my computer I have purchased myself!

Have you tried this

Looking at adobe forum is a great idea. However, if you have a look at the answers to this post, you will see that the problem has already been solved by Astahost forum people. Downloading the last version of the software directly from Adobe was the trick. The only remaining question was the way to get some money back from adobe because of the scratched CD, I think it's hopeless. I guess the money paid to Adobe is for licencing the software, whether the software was obtained by conventional mail or by a download from Adobe server.

I had the hardest time trying to install Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 on my laptop for work... I shelled out over $1000 for software which costs way too damn much and the install takes 45 minutes... and then failed. I finally managed to get Dreamweaver working, but for Photoshop, I had to revert back to Photoshop 7, which totally defeated the purpose of spending $500 on the software in the first place.... :)
