Installing Photoshop CS3 on Vista PC [SOLUTION]

[Nigel Molesworth]

I've just spent TWO DAYS trying to install PS3 on my PC. The install seemed
to work OK, but when it finished only some of the components were installed.
I read all the Adobe KB articles, but still no luck. Finally, I've come up
with a solution that worked for me. This may be of interest to Photoshop
users...

1] Install Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Utility from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
[2] Run the CS3Clean script from
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html.
Select the [undocumented] level 4 cleanup. This removes ALL Adobe
applications.
[3] Turn on User Account Control - may not be necessary, but it is for Adobe
Reader!
[4] Copy the Adobe CS3 folder to your HD, right-click Setup and select Run
As Administrator

Thanks for the info. I had a lot of trouble getting CS3 to install a while
ago, and I'll remember this if it ever happens again.
