Vista - Photoshop CS3 & Dreamweaver CS3 work on Vista X64 SP1?

Hi all,



Just got my new comp with Vista X64 with SP1.
Still doing so much time searching on all the software I install..

I plan to install Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3, however I'm not sure if it's compatible and fully function, error-free on a Vista X64 OS.

I understand you are able to run 32bit Apps, but just need a confirmation before I go ahead.


thanks guys

Photoshop CS3 is OK, don't know about Dreamweaver,

I have 32bits Vista. I have installed both Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3. It works like a charm!!

I am sure it would on x64 as well.

I've got the Master Collection CS3,
And the only applications who DO install are:
Flash CS3 Professional
Flash CS3 Video Encoder
Illustrator CS3
InDesign CS3
Photoshop CS3

The rest, like AfterEffects, Premiere Pro and Dreamweaver wouldn't install on my pc.
Windows Vista Ultimate x64

Before installing in Vista Ultimate X64
Click Start in bottom left
Search for cmd
Right click and run as administrator
type or copy and paste
cd C:\Windows\SysWow64
then copy and paste
regsvr32 jscript.dll
then copy and paste
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
now you can install Photoshop CS3 by double clicking on setup

What exactly does that do scots?

I google searched solution as I could not install photoshop cs3 extended on my vista x64 machine.
I found suggested solutions on a number of sites however instructions were not easy to follow
the clearest was on "my digital life"
"The problem is applicable for both 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows Vista. The solution for Internal Error 2739 problem is to re-register the JScript.dll (or optionally VBScript.dll) module in Windows Vista, as suggested in Adobe Forums."

"

1. Run an elevated command prompt as Administrator.
2. For Windows Vista 32-bit user, ensure that the command prompt is at C:\Windows\System32\ folder. For Windows Vista x64-bit, issue the following command to change to 64-bit folder in order to use the correct DLL files: cd ..\SysWow64
3. Type the following command and hit Enter: regsvr32 jscript.dll
   and optionally (if problem persists),
   regsvr32 vbscript.dll
4. Run the Adobe installer again.

I had personally problems with CS3 all adobe progs on X64 (very slow + BSOD)
No problems with CS2.
Seen on Adobe web site for CS3: Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista™ Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise (certified for 32-bit editions)

I have CS3 Master Collection and it was a terror to install. It took me weeks of messing with it to get all the applications to install and run correctly, but they all work fine now.

Biggest problem I found with x64 is Adobe Acrobat Pro won't install correctly by default, and even if you don't install it - your other CS3 apps may not register correctly because of its bug.

If you do a full install, then search Adobe for their Acrobat Vista x64 fix, and apply it BEFORE you run any applications the first time it will save you a lot of trouble later.

Found on the FAQ of Adobe site:

Do Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications run on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista?
While Adobe Creative Suite 3 software is natively 32-bit, these applications will run on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista. For an in-depth overview of 64-bit computing and its value, please see the blog by Adobe Photoshop software architect Scott Byer.
