Installation and Configuration of Adobe CS3

CS3 on WinXP

By Daniel K. Schneider. Hardware was a Dell XPS II with updated XP. It already had an older Dreamweaver 8, 2 Acrobats, Framemaker 7.0 and Framemaker 7.2. I disabled AcAfee (Virusscan).

It was quite a nightmare. Adobe is often not compatible with Adobe (went through this also with various versions of Distillor/Creator in combination with Framemaker). With my install, Acrobat Creator would not install giving a totally useless error message. Didn't find any useful help on the Adobe site, except the sort of ludicrous advice like reinstalling windows.

Here is what I tried on Windows XP (step by step)

  • Uninstalled all Adobe software (except Framemake 7.2). In particular, all PDF Distillor/Creator versions.
  • Removed stuff from the Registry
  • Uninstall all PDF containing entries with the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (download)
  • Removed again CS3 plus all other Adobe software
