SKW Calculating status...
Setup "initializes", and then STOPS.
Jun 23, 2007 7:03 AM
I tried SIX (6) times to install Adobe Flash CS3 Pro, and
each and every time, when it comes time to run the setup (which the
self-extracting file automatically launches once all of the files
have been extracted), it shows "Initializing Adobe Flash CS3" and
the progress bar moves across until it reaches 100%, BUT, then the
dialog box closes and doesn't show anything else after that. I KNOW
there's supposed to be a whole install rigamaroe, but NOTHING
shows.
I double-checked my start menu's program files just to see if what I saw was not, in-fact, the entire install, and sure enough, there was no program file to launch (not even a group name), BUT, there WAS and entry in my control panel's Add or Remove Programs. HOWEVER, when I clicked the button to remove it, nothing happened. In order to remove it and try again, I literally had to do a System Restore using a restore point from a time which was prior to my having tried to install Flash.
Some information for your reference. I just rebuilt my hard drive less than a month ago (re-applied an image of the original software configuration that was on it when I bought the laptop, and then re-installed all my applications) because I had some instability problems.
The rebuild consisted of more than a dozen applications (including Flash MX 2004) which I installed, WITHOUT A HITCH. Additionally, I just upgraded my memory to from 0.5Gb to 1.25Gb (SINCE all those successful installs), and because didn't copy onto the hard drive all of the excess baggage worth of documents, my hard drive still has plenty of room to spare.
I'm getting WEARY trying to get this silly thing to install. Can someone PLEASE help me?
Many thanks,
Steve
