OS: XP Home edition
Photoshop CS3, volume license, legitimate purchase
I cannot install. It keeps telling me I have to activate and the grace period has expired. Adobe tells me a volume license doesn't require activation.
I have tried the CS3clean script, coupled with the windows clean script and the silent install, all recommended by Adobe, but to no avail. After exhaustive research on the internet, it appears that if I remove ALL instances of Adobe/Macromedia products on my system, then run the scripts my install might be successful.
I have two separate hard disks on my system. If I remove all instances of Adobe/Macromedia products on my E:/ drive, will the installer ignore the C:/ drive? That would save me a lot of time. I also think I'm going to install as administrator instead of my other account.
Any other suggestions? This has taken nearly 16 cumulative hours already and I'm trying to run a business! Adobe really blew it on this one!
