Re: Cannot install Photoshop CS3 - Installer just dissappeared

It finally works on my Vista32 after carrying out 2 of the above suggestions.

I'd followed through this discussion thread and tried all the suggestions and found the 2 separate steps suggested by Philip Timothy Smith (in post #33) and Don Frack (in post #81) that worked.

I'm summarising them below for easy reference:

Step 1 (by Philip):
==================

On Windows Vista32:

1. Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories.

2. Right-click the Command icon, choose Run As Administrator, and authenticate.

3. Navigate to Windows\System32.

4. At the prompt, type regsvr32 jscript.dll and press Enter.

5. When a dialog box with the message "DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded" appears, click OK.

Step 2 (by Don):
===============

1. Copy the "Adobe CS3" folder from the installation CD to your harddrive.

2. From the harddrive copy, open the folder "resources\common\scripts".

3. Right-click on the file "ContainerProxy.js", click "Open With…", and select Notepad.

4. With the file open in Notepad, click Edit (from the top menu), then "Go To...".

5. In the "Line Number" box, type 1102, and press Enter. This will take you to line #1102.

6. Locate the "SetSessionInitialized" variable as follows.

7. Look on the screen for the line "jsonObj = _jsonToObject(window.external.SetSessionInitialize d(initValue));".

8. Delete "window.external.", i.e. the line becomes "jsonObj = _jsonToObject(SetSessionInitialized(initValue));".

9. Save the file.

10. Go back to the harddrive parent folder "Adobe CS3" and run the Setup.exe.

At least the above 2 steps worked for me. Hope it also works for the rest of you.
