    Unfinished Program Installation
    « on: March 27, 2009, 01:16:10 AM »
    I was installing Photoshop CS3 Extended, during installation I was creating a backup for a restore point. Then when I restarted my comp. it just so happen to tell me that I have to restore my comp. from a restore point, so I did. Now Photoshop CS3 Extended in installed incompletely. Whenever I try to re-install or uninstall it, the setup window won't even pop up. Plsss..... HELP ME.(I know this was very NOOBish so I don't want to hear it from anyone)

      Did the install write any entries to the registry?
      Can you see the install in add/remove programs?

      Use Revo Uninstaller to remove the program and then re-install the program.

        Thanks for the help guys, but it still won't uninstall Photoshop CS3 Extended. The uninstall or setup screen still won't pop up. Any more ideas?

        Download Autoruns for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
        No installation required.
        Simply unzip Autoruns.zip file, and double click on autoruns.exe file to run the program.
        Go File>Save As, and save AutoRuns.txt file to know location.
        Attach the file to your next reply.

          You ran wrong file.
          You ran autorunsc.exe, instead of autoruns.exe
          That's why the file is huge.
          Re-do, please.

            I'm sure, you didn't, because your file is almost 7MB big, and normally, AutoRuns.txt shouldn't be bigger than 100-200kB.
            Besides, it's nor readable. It displays garbage. I know this happens, when you run wrong file.

              can you show me what the txt file should contain? The txt file I sent you is suppose to be an .arn file. I just renamed it as txt. It wouldn't let me to save it as a txt file. btw can i ask y need this file? I really want to get this problem fixed.

              This is exactly what I'm talking about it.
              If you look in Autoruns folder, you see two almost identical files: autoruns.exe, and  autorunsc.exe.
              The only difference is letter "s".
              When you run autorunsc.exe, it results in .arn file, if you run autoruns.exe file, it results in .txt file.

                Dude Save as is for .arn file. Export As is for the .txt file. That's why we could't understand each other. Anyways here it is... I attached the .txt file with this post.

                No there was no CD. I downloaded the trial version and the Crack for it. Whenever I try to uninstall it or re-install it. The setup window won't even pop up.
