Installed trial Dreamweaver CS6..can't access purchased Dreamweaver CS3

abcschooldr Dec 31, 2012 1:47 PM

I tried to use both trial Dreamweaver CS6 and purchased Dreamweaver CS3 at the same time. My purchased Dreamweaver CS3 now links to trial CS6 even though the link has not changed. How do I still use (or ever use again) purchased Dreamweaver CS3?

Are you saying that the shortcuts for Dreamweaver CS3 now opens Dreamweaver CS6? If not can you please provide a bit more detail regarding what you are doing to open Dreamweaver. Also which operating system are you using?

Thank you for responding. Yes. The target for Dreamweaver CS3 is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS3\Dreamweaver.exe" but my trial CS6 Dreamweaver opens with that shortcut "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\Dreamweaver.exe" My CS3 Dreamweaver will no longer open with the CS3 shortcut.
I am using Windows 7.

If you navigate to that location are you able to open Dreamweaver CS3 by invoking Dreamweaver.exe?

Moving this discussion to the Dreamweaver General forum as well in case other users have faced a similar difficulty.

No.
comes up with a search of dreamweaver.exe from the CS3 program.

This is not recommended. Only open ONE version at a time. This goes for all the CS6 products.
You probably just need to point your DW CS3 shortcut back to your CS3 folder.

Thank you Nancy. It is pointed at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS3\Dreamweaver.exe" but Dreamweaver CS6 still loads. I don't know that I will keep Dreamweaver CS6, and I will probably return to CS3 after the trial, so I don't want to lose access to it.

It looks as if Dreamweaver is missing a dll file. Have you tried removing and reinstalling Dreamweaver CS3?
