The serial number means that I didn't have to reinstall CS3 after all to get it to run in Sierra. So does their proffering of new serial numbers, as mentioned above. Why upgrading the OS causes problems for Adobe apps I don't know, but this tool helps resolve those issues. This is a good thing for people who need to use older versions of their Adobe suite apps after upgrading the operating system. But it works as well removing files that hamper running or reinstalling, as the description says, CS3 through CS6. Interestingly, this tool is designed to remove files related to pre-release (beta) versions of Adobe software. I haven't tested High Sierra yet, so your mileage may vary. To run CS3 now, though, I needed a new serial number I got from Adobe () using my old serial number, which no longer worked after I upgraded from OS X 10.9 Mavericks to El Capitan and then Sierra.įor the time being at least my CS3 apps run on Sierra. That said, version 3 helped resolve the installation issues I was having with reinstalling CS3 last year. This current version only works on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan or above. That version seems no longer to be available. It sprays crap all over the system, the registry, and what the installer does is poorly documented if at all.įunny how adobe nevers seems to chime in on any of these threads, BTW.I used an earlier version of this tool, version 3.10.14 to help with an installation problem with the Adobe CS3 suite. Updates are unforgiveably large and The MSP approach to patches/updates is a freaking nightmare to deal with.
Installation is fragile in a managed desktop environment, repair tedious. I will add that most systems were fine, but this application is waaaaaaay too complex for what it does. Had to boot into linux to fix the recycle bin after all was said and done. Registry surgery, boot to safe mode, remove application directory, some start->run entries, yada yada yada. Don't ask for a howto - I'm still too traumatized. Had to rip it out by the roots, and the msi cleanup is only part of the solution. We use an administrative install point, (following adobe's "instructions" I might add), and several systems, including mine, got pretty jacked up from the 9.3.2 quarterly update. Run it and see if you can proceed with the installation of Acrobat.įWIW it's not as simple as that. Go to Microsoft download and get the "Installer Cleanup Utility" (not sure if that's the correct name, but it's close enough. What's wrong with using your OSes application removal anyways ?! That's what it's there for. Well I guess you know now not to use crappy 3rd party utilties.
