Adobe Creative Suite 3

Just for all those people who, like me, are running Vista and had the CS3 installer crash out rudely on them, there is a relatively simple fix you can do.

Start -> Run -> cmd -> OK
cd c:\windows\system32
regsvr32 jscript.dll

It appears that if the jscript object is not registered, the installation script just panics and dies. This took a bit of head scratching, uninstalling, running clean-up scripts, disabling virus scanners until I looked at the event viewer and saw a nice error in the Application log stating “Product: Adobe Setup — Internal Error 2739″. A quick google turned up this page, which was for a different application, but with a similar issue.

Hope this saves someone a lot of grief.

    Oh yeah, I forgot it was removed…

    You actually can type cmd into the search field in the start menu and it comes up in the list instantly.

    Or if you are a die-hard run command fan like I am you can hold down the windows key and press “r”.

    Also, I ran this with the User Account Control stuff disabled, so if Windows is giving you permission woes, you might want to disable that as well…
