Solution 3: Disable virus-protection software and all firewall applications before you install Creative Suite 3 or any of its point products.

Virus-protection software exists to stop errant applications from installing on your system. If your virus-protection software believes that your Adobe application is a virus, the product isn't installed correctly. Furthermore, if the virus scan software is scanning a file or registry entry to update, it denies access. Remove your Adobe Creative Suite 3 product if you did not turn off your virus-protection software before you installed. Also, disable your virus-protection software and firewall. After both are disabled, reinstall the software.

The Adobe Creative Suite 3 includes a program called Version Cue. It installs a service called Bonjour that searches the network for other Bonjour-enabled machines. The installation of Version Cue can fail if your firewall is unaware of this protocol and blocks it. Turn off your firewall while installing to prevent this error from occurring.

Solution 4: Verify that you have sufficient disk space. If not, clear disk space on the target drive or install to a drive with sufficient disk space.

See the System Requirements information for the Adobe Creative Suite 3 product you are installing. Make sure that you are installing to a volume that meets the minimum requirements. System requirement information is listed on the Adobe.com product pages http://www.adobe.com/products.

Solution 5: Remove prerelease Adobe software.

See Remove CS3 prereleases (kb401574) to remove any Adobe pre-release or beta software from your computer.

Solution 6: Remove Google Desktop.

Google Desktop can prevent the installation of the Adobe Creative Suite 3 products. See the system documentation to remove Google Desktop before installing the Adobe Creative Suite 3 product.

Solution 7: Check the installation media.

Creative Suite 3 installer can fail if the Creative Suite 3 disk is bad or damaged or if the computer hard drive is defective.

Perform the following steps to determine if the installation media is damaged:

  1. Check the DVD for dust or damage. Clean the DVD with a soft, lint-free cloth. Check the back of the DVD for warping, smudges, scratches, or discoloration.

  2. Copy the contents of the DVD to your hard disk.

  3. Attempt to install the Adobe Creative Suite 3 on a different computer. If the attempt is successful, the issue could be with the file system or hard disk drive on your original computer. For additional information, see the Hard Disk Check Utilities in the Additional Information section.

  4. Attempt a desktop installation. For additional information on creating desktop installations, see one of the following documents:
  1. If the purchased software was an electronic software download (ESD), download the software again. A file damaged during the download process causes errors during installation.

Solution 8: Remove previous versions of Flash Player.

If your error in the installer log includes the following, remove previous versions of Flash Player:

1: 0 2: Install Flash Player 8 Plugin.msi 3: {91057632-CA70-413C-B628-2D3CDBBB906B} 4: {91057632-CA70-413C-B628-2D3CDBBB906B}; 5: 0 6: 1 7: 1 8: 0 Error 1714.The older version of Adobe Flash Player 9 Plugin cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.

To remove Flash Player:

  1. Remove any log files in the \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers folder. These files contain or end in "log" or "gz." Delete the files unless you are currently using them to locate error messages. If you are currently using them, move them out of this folder and in to a new folder on the desktop where they are accessible.
  2. Repair or Install Creative Suite 3.

Solution 9: Update the user privileges to files.

If you received the error, "Windows Installer Error 1321 'The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust\AcrobatConnect.cfg,'" then update the user privileges to the specific folders. (The error appears in the Event Viewer or Adobe Creative Suite installation log.) 

The following is a sample from the Adobe Creative Suite installation log or Event Viewer:

Action 11:21:48: InstallValidate. Validating install Action start 11:21:48: InstallValidate. Error 1321.The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust\AcrobatConnect.cfg. Action ended 11:21:48: InstallValidate. Return value 3.

Adobe Creative Suite installation log

The Adobe Creative Suite 3 installer log contains detailed messages on why the install failed (or succeeded). The log file can assist you in diagnosing the problem faster. Every attempted installation appends information to the previous installation log. Deleting the current installation log and running the installation again can simplify the troubleshooting process. The log file is created on both Windows and Mac OS. The error messages contained differs in format because of Operating System differences.

  1. Navigate to the Adobe Creative Suite 3 log file.

    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers folder.
  2. Decompress the Adobe Creative Suite 3 log file.

    Important: The log file is archived using a compression utility called gzip and requires a decompression tool such as Winzip or WinRAR.

    Note on log names:
    • The log file for the Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, for example, is Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium 1.0.log.gz.

  3. Search the log files for the following case sensitive keywords: FATAL, DEBUG, ERROR, and Return Value 3 (Windows only).
    If the log contains one or more of the following error messages, try Solutions 1-5, and then the solution listed next to the error message:
