Hello!

Some time ago, I was given a Photoshop CS3 disc. Yes, I admit, it’s a copy of my friend’s disc, but I still cannot figure this out:

I set up CS3 in MacOS Tiger, and always when the programme had been set up 99%, the computer froze.

Now, I got Leopard, and another problem popped up: The setup disc says that *Photoshop* HAS been set up, and I cannot set it up again; but when I want to uninstall Photoshop, it doesn’t show up. It seems that the programme is half set up, enough to affect, but not enough to show up.

The question I have is: How can I permanently delete all the Photoshop files (no, not .xmp files) from my computer, so it’ll work to set up the programme?

Many thanks,

Aero

PS: Yes, I use the English spelling of the word ‘‘program’’.

Applications -> Utilities -> Adobe Installers

That's how you remove it, at least.

As for reinstalling it, like Zilly said, you're on your own :p.

I had this problem when I finally ordered the release copy of CS3 Web Premium and installed it after I uninstalled the Photoshop Beta. The installer would crap out at around 99% because of pre-existing files from the PS Beta, even though I had uninstalled it.

There's info on the Adobe forums on how to completely uninstall CS3 (including beta files).
