When trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial on Windows Vista the installation would start and after a second the window would close and disappear.

Adobe has very little on this issue according to Google. But it's once again blogosphere to the rescue. Non other that Rick Brewster of Paint.NET fame had a problem installing it on Vista x64, but his solution works for me on x32 too.

Solution: drop to command line with administrator privileges and run

regsvr32 JScript.DLL

It worked for me!

Good day!
I own the program Adobe Photoshop 7.
Recently I baught a new computer with WIndows Vista.
My first attempt to install my photoshop ended up messing up both my ROM drives.
Computer works fine now. Miss my Photoshop 7 though.
What's the secret to install Photoshop 7 in Windows Vista?
Thank you, Sid

I keep getting an internal error 7429 and 7320 when trying to install it. Would this idea work for this also? Please help. Thanks.

Thanks .. Saved a lot of time. You would think Adobe would have this info on their site. Thanks again.

# re: How to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista 11/7/2007 6:45 AM Ken
When typing regsvr32 jscript.dll I am told "it is successful" but still get the same error message when installing cs3?

# re: How to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista 11/15/2007 12:17 AM Tony Higginson
Been trying for weeks and weeks to install and can't believe that something as simple as regsvr32 jscript.dll helped me to install it on my computer.

how adobe doesnt know about this or if thry do then they must let people know on thee website surely??

someone has an idea ????


# re: How to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista 11/29/2007 11:13 PM Mozza
Well done mate!

# re: How to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista 11/29/2007 11:17 PM Mozza
Chappee:

(In Vista) go to Start, start typing 'cmd' in the search box, when it appears right-click on it and choose 'Run as administrator'. then try typing the string again. You have to do this even if you are logged in as an Admin.

Good luck.

# re: How to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista 12/9/2007 1:04 PM Chappee
thanks Mozza,
it works for the dll but it is still impossible to install the adobe creative suite CS3. the installation program starts and ends after a few seconds. I sommetimes get the message that another installation is running and should be completed before a new one can be launched. When looking at the config panel, their is always an installation/disintallation line for CS3 that cannot be removed.
thank you for helping.

Thanks, I did it the first time and I was searching for this again. :) It works. :)

# re: How to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista 1/20/2008 3:28 PM Sari
Many thanks for this solution...thanks also to Mozza...but no thanks to Adobe for not including it on their support page.
For those who might need a little more detailed help on this...follow Mozzas instructions up to "Run as administrator", when black window appears copy & paste regsvr32 JScript.DLL into the command line, close the window & go to wherever you d/loaded the folder which contains the extracted Adobe files, double click on "Setup" & it should instal from there.

Oh god thanks soooo much! I was getting really pissed off with not being able to install. I was getting really frustrated. Just in case anyone misunderstood:
1: Click on the 'start' logo.
2: Click start search and look up 'run'
3: Click on the first result
4: Type in regsvr32 JScript.DLL and hit ok
5: ignore the error message and run the setup
6: Enjoy!

Before installing in Vista Ultimate X64
Click Start in bottom left
Search for cmd
Right click and run as administrator
type or copy and paste
cd C:\Windows\SysWow64
then copy and paste
regsvr32 jscript.dll
then copy and paste
regsvr32 vbscript.dll

now you can install Photoshop CS3 by double clicking on setup

i tried, somehow it's still not working for me. after I did all the above, and trying to install it, it still shows me the message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service if this problem continues." But somehow it's in my programs, so I also tied to uninstall it, but the weird thing is I was not able to remove it, and it shows me the same message. Anyone? Please help. Thanks millions.

No problems installing CS3 on a newly refreshed version of Vista.

However, on an "used" version of Vista I was unable to install, until I tried the regsvr32 jscript.dll trick - thanks for the tip :-)

Note - no other programmes e.g. Explorer were running during the CS3 installation.

The trick also works for Dreamweaver too ;-)

I did everything everyone says to do but I still cannot install photoshop CS3. My OS is vista Home Premium 32-bit version.

# re: How to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista 7/6/2008 11:00 AM Pascal
Ok, seriously, wtf?

I've done the regsvr32 jscript thing, it says it's successful, I go to the setup, click it, then it says it's initializing and the green progress bar goes all the way across, then the window disappears AND NOTHING HAPPENS like it did before.

I swear to god I've done this like 50 thousand times. I even went into task manager and ended Iexplorer.exe and STILL nothing.

NOTHING IS WORKING. Is it because I'm on Vista Home Premium or what? I have done EVERY single thing that has been said to do in this topic and nothing is working and I'm getting very irritated.

Some help would be SO great right now. >(

Hello All,

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. Bought PS CS3 and just can't get it to load. I get the Progress Bar and then the setup initialization screen splashes for a moment and disappears. I have tried everything suggested (eg Flash uninstallers, CS3CleanScript etc) save for formatting my HD which I really don't want to do. I am angry and frustrated that Adobe don't seem to be helping especially after so many have spent so much on a product that is fundamentaly flawed. Can anyone help me PLEASE. email at andy210966@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you for any advice or help.

Andy
