Please can ne1 help me out in installing Dreamweaver CS3 on vista Home Basic plz...i need it badly..very urgent..
Thx in advance

 

ne idea???

 

I have Vista Business and DW CS3 works good.

 

well it wrks in Vista business, premium, ultimate but not in home basic..plzz hlp me...sum1

 

Well not sure if there is way around this cuz this what was found on official Adobe site.

Why don't Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications support the Starter and Home Basic editions of Windows Vista?
The Starter and Home Basic editions of Windows Vista are entry-level operating systems for the casual user. They do not offer the level of support that Adobe's professional creative products require. However, some Adobe products designed for the more casual user, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, do run on Windows Vista Starter and Home Basic editions.

i am not sure if this will help though, have a look anyway : http://blogs.msdn.com/rickbrew/arch...talling-adobe-photoshop-cs3-on-vista-x64.aspx

 

It worked well here, I'm using WV home basic and open it 80% of my time

 

Thats weird, thats the first time I have hearing CS3 DW giving issues with Vista. Did you upgrade to the recent version or DW?

 

vista = any software = doesn't work at all. simple as that

 

after hearing all of the horrors about vista i was reluctant to buy it...only because i stumbled upon a serious sale did i actually get a vista computer---so far, i've had NO problems whatsoever...however, i am using vista premium with service pack 1 and an older version of dreamweaver, mx 2004---i must say though that i haven't had any problems running this older version of dreamweaver or with running FLash cs3

 

It runs perfect with vista ultimate here. Did you try running the installer with administrative rights? If yes, did you try by doing right click then "Run as Administrator"?

I think that should fix your problem.

 

i have here adobe cs3 master and is working fine on vista (ultimate)
the trial did not work for me either but i have the full version now

 

I have Home Premium and CS3 works very well. Have you tried running it as an administrator?

 

am using Windows Vista Home basic service pack 1....its not installing at all...adobe says its not compatible with home basic version....but i cant go n buy new vista version again....

 

i am using dreamweaver 8 and vista and dont have any problems
dont like these new things ps cs3 dreamweaver cs 3...

 

you can use dreamweaver 8. It's good.

 

I know what the problem is I had the same sort of problems installing other software its the user atentication system you need to turn it off while you install programmes that give off the error your getting you will find the option in your cp settings. also try turning off the fire wall while you install it.

 

I have Vista ultimate with Dreamweaver CS3 and works GREAT.

Try and e-mail Adobe for advice as they make the application and deal with problems

 

Ok, I have no idea if you had the same problem as I did, but have a look at this website:

http://vidmar.net/weblog/archive/2007/06/29/how-to-install-adobe-photoshop-cs3-on-windows-vista.aspx

Don't know why it works, but it does, so give it a shot.

 

Right Click on the install on disk, and set as run as administrator. As i have done that once before with Flash CS3

 

microsoft doesn't want you spending money on other software hence trials don't work
