Adobe Illustrator CS3 will not install? - Adobe illustrator

Don't send it back for a refund, George. Do the right thing. Donate it to one of us poor shlubs here who can't afford it.

This solution worked for me too. I was having the exact same problem
installing Design Premium to a laptop with XP Home. It always failed
with Illustrator, but everything else worked fine.

Specifically, go to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.svg
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.svgz

Right click on each key, click Permissions, then see what the setting
is for the SYSTEM account. For me, both of the above had permissions
removed for some reason. I checked both of these to Full and
reinstalled. It then completed successfully. I guess you should also
check for administrator permissions (or your user account) while
you're there.

I really like how you have to wait for the entire install to take
place (20-30 minutes) and see the progress bar go all the way to the
end, only to have the rug pulled out from under you because of a
registry key. I must have tried reinstalling 4-5 times (trying
various things, disabling virus checker, etc) before seeing Nick's
post about the key. Thanks Nick

Hi everyone, im having a pain trying to install illustrator CS3, im running a vist home premium, and everytime i try and run the installer i get an error "This software cannot be installed because jscript is not properly registered...." and ive gone through the guide at the adobe forum and have tried the "regsvr32 jscript.dll" process but when i run it i get an error "the module "jscript.dll was loaded but the call to Dllregisterserver failed with an error code 0x80004005.

please help.

On Vista, you must run the "regsvr32" command as an administrator or it will not work. Error code 0x80004005 is a permissions related error code, I believe.

Tried to install CS3 on my recently purchased PC (Home Premium Vista), I have tried every combo I can think of but I still get the same message, failed to install certain parts / Illustrator CS3 / shared components. Looking in the event viewer, the only suggestion seems to be insufficient privilege / bonjour (tried as many options to run as administrator, remove this or that user control) and still the same thing... doesn't install at all. Is it a home premium issue ? CS2 / CS etc One issue seems to be Version Cue, as I don't even need / want version cue on a single machine, .. any way of not having that installed and 'only' installing the Illustrator CS3??
