I recently had to carry out a system restore following which when I tried to use my PS3 suite a window came up saying I could not use it and I must uninstall and then reinstall PS3. I am not the best with computers but that seemed quite simple to do however, I did not realize that I should have de-activated my PS3 before uninstallation so I just did a straight uninstall through the control panel. Now, when I try to reinstall I just get the following messsage - Errors 3 componentsAdobe Creative Suite 3 Design standard - Component install failedAdobe Photoshop CS3 - Component install failedShared components - Component install failed I assume that there must be stuff left on the computer following the uninstall that is causing this problem but I just don't know where to start or what to do to remove it. Can anyone help me with this bearing in mind that I am not that good with computers?
I recently downloaded Photoshop CC, but there is a fault with Generator that has persisted, so I have to reinstall the application.  First question: do I have to uninstall the application first?  Second question: do I just then redownload it?  Third question: or is there an option just to reinstall?  By the way, adobe - this is a bummer - it takes ages to download. I hope that this isn't a recurrent theme...
I am having trouble with PS cs3 and want to reilnstall it or rather change some settingsi go to control panel selet add remove softwareselect change for adobe cs3 premium and nothing happens ...
I have run into a small problem. I had to re-image a portion of my laptop, due to some "illigal actions" that caused some of my windows files to become corrupt/lost/damaged/unable to work. In that, I lost the regestry key (or whatever it is) for Photoshop, that is installed on another drive.
Is there a way to "recover" the regestry files without reinstalling everything?? I have all the instalation stuff on hand (or i can find them with very little searching), so thats not the issue. I had some problems with my computer actually accepting the CD at times when i installed the first time, so im trying to avoid that a second time.
I'm on an HP laptop - Win XP Home Edition - 1 gb RAM, plenty of space.
So, after major, continuous crashing in Photoshop CS3, I decided to see if CS4 would work ok. It was nice, but I let the trial expire and decided to continue to see if 3 would get in gear.
I removed the trial software (i thought)
Today, I uninstalled CS3, so I could reinstall the whole thing rather than repairing it. It won't reinstall because the CS4 files have been moved.
is there some way to completely wipe out all reference to 4?
After rebuilding my XP system, I've NEVER been able to reinstall PS CS3. I will not rebuild the system again. Went through a dozen different tries suggested by support.
Will I have more luck installing CS4 or should I live with CS2 and some other brands tools?
I bought CS2 and registered it about 4 years ago. I've had it installed in the same computer ever since.
Just recently I had virus problems and Dell re-set my computer back to factory settings. The Geek Squad backed up all my photos and documents, but I have to re-install all the software.
I installed CS2 and the last step was to put in my serial number, which I did. I got a message insinuating that I didn't have a legit copy. I called Adobe, and they told me that it was the correct number. But, they flat out refused to give me any 'technical help' as to why I can't complete the installation.
I read some of the questions here and am now thinking I was supposed to have uninstalled the software. But I didn't. So, it must be looking like I'm someone else trying to get the program for free. I just don't know.
Was using CS3 but HDD started going bad. Had to use a new HDD and install OS, CS3, etc. I'd like to copy CS3 setup/customization files from the old HDD to the new HDD. Specifically, I'd like to copy my created metadata templates (where EXIF data was automatically added when uploading photos into Bridge), my created Keywords in Bridge Keywords tab, Bridge Workspace layout for Horizontal Layout #2, etc. Anyone know where these files are stored? I had defined a few simple custom Actions but didn't specifically save them so I read that these are probably lost. I mention this in case someone knows how to retrieve them.
My computer crashed, had to purchase a new Windows 8 machine. I reinstalled Photoshop CS2 and then installed the upgrade to CS5. I noticed that both versions are on my computer. It seems that the upgrade didn't overwrite the CS2. Do they share files, or can I uninstall CS2?
After download stopped, it says that Photoshop is up to date. When I tried to open it, it was an incomplete/corrupt file. How can I re-install on Mac running on 10.9?
I have had my computer reformatted and all software deleted in the process. I have been using CS5 extended for a few years now. When I went back in to upload my recent purchase of CS6 Upgrade which I have been using for the past 3 months..it doesn't recognize my serial number to the upgrade.Â
Working with a friend revamp his computer. He has PSCS versions 3,4,5 and 6 installed on different hard drives. What is the best way to uninstall everything and reinstall his CS6 on his C drive?
I can't seem to get to the CS4 Photoshop downloads online. My new Mac Pro Retina has no CD so I cant re install from that.Tried going through my Adobe ID still eludes me. workshop on the weekend.
I am not able to reinstall photoshop cc. I have run the cleaner and restarted my computer but I am still getting an error message: Exit Code: 6 P.For example,Â

CS3 began to operate strangely (eg multiple unrequested Help windows, customized Colour Settings not sticking) so I decided to reinstall CS3.
First I deactivated CS3 (standalone, not part of a suite) then I tried to uninstall it. Using (Vista's) Program/Features I started the uninstall process - this began ok but stopped with the message:
"Summary
Errors: 2 components: X Adobe photoshop CS3 Component removal failed
X Shared components Component removal failed"
Then I tried to Reinstall the program (also from the Program/Features function) hoping that this would lead to a successful removal. But this led to exactly the same message after a few steps.
So - I cannot remove the program and cannot reinstall it.
Have searched this forum and Googled for an anwser without success. Grateful for any light in my darkness.
I just deactivated my copy of Photoshop CS4 on one of my desktops running a windows XP prof. I did not uninstall, only deactivated. When I try to install CS4 on another computer (Win XP) I get the red cross indicating a wrong serial key.
I have only installed CS4 once. Registered the product. Does it take time before I can install the program again or do I need to do something so that I could install CS4 on another PC?
I am having problems updating CS4. I plan to reinstall over the weekend. I presume that I unistall first, then reinstall? Can I save my preferences for PS and Bridge?
using CS3 I am told by photoshop today" You cannot use, you must uninstall and reinstall before using. It does not mention a license issue as I have seen in many post..do I really have to do the reinstall?
I've tried every proposed solution I could find, including the regsvr32 jscript.dll thing, running in XP SP2 mode (I'm in Vista), running in admin mode, running at the C: root, and putting the install files in an .iso, mounting it in a disk emulator, but I just can't uninstall or reinstall the Photoshop CS3 demo I installed a few days ago (which won't work at all - something about a "catastrophic installation failure" or somesuch). In all my experience with hundreds of different pieces of software, I've never encountered such a complete and total failure to work - and this from Adobe no less...
I have a valid version of PS CS5 extended. My layer styles started to act up (which worked yesterday) so I uninstalled to reinstall it and now it wont work without a subscription?  I have windows 7 and cant afford the subscription AT ALL and I had a valid software that NO LONGER WORKS.
I need to reinstall my Photoshop CS4 after I restored my iMac. Tech support said I need to get the link to download at this forum since the version I am using is old.
How do I reinstall Photoshop CC? I appear to have created a problem by installing Photoshop CC over Photoshop CS6 and then deleting Photoshop CS6. When I open Photoshop CC i receive a message that there is program error. The Creative Cloud Application Manager seems to think that everything is OK and won't let me reinstall Photoshop CC. I am using an iMac and have Mountain Lion OS installed.
