I did a de-install and tried to re-install and it won't re-install CS3.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=215720\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Photoshop gets tangled up in its own files, folders, and registry entries extremely easily. It almost seems it has been implemented by a committee of software developers were one has no idea what the other did.
Just recently I installed Photoshop CS3 on a notebook PC (running Windows XP), and I had to cancel the installation process a few seconds after it has started. When re-launching the set-up procedure, it refused to install the software. Instead, it kept telling me that installing two Adobe products simultaneously is not possible and I must end the running set-up procedure before starting the next. But there was no set-up procedure running!
Eventually, I fixed the issue by walking the Windows Registry and manually removing all keys, values, and data referring to Photoshop CS3 or one of its components. Just why can't the set-up procedure tidy up the mess it leaves behind when being cancelled?
