First uninstalled CS3. – 1 hour, 10 minutes! Wow..
I uninstalled and then ran the “WinCS3Clean” application provided by Adobe here -> http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
On Amber’s computer I was unable to uninstall at first. Then I logged off her profile and then logged in under mine and proceeded to uninstall under that profile. That worked without issue.
So be sure to uninstall under the same profile you installed it under if you have multiple profiles you use.
On my laptop I ran into a problem installing CS4. It spent about 20 minutes installing and then put up an error:
“Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.” I found this page at adobe’s site -> http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408436.html
This seems to be a common error. The fix is to go to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\ and unlock the “sRGB Color Space Profile.icm” file. Use the great freeware tool “Unlocker” to do this.
Download unlocker here -> http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker
Best to check this file beforehand and make sure it is unlocked, then you won’t get interrupted in the installation and have to start the install over again.

I tried unlocking the file but it says the file doesnt have to be unlocked. To test that it was unlocked i tried moving it to my desktop. Yeh, i cant move,rename,delete it. Im guessing it IS unlocked. How come unlocker isnt detecting it?

I’m not sure Richard. In all of my experience I’ve always found unlocker to be correct in detecting when a file was locked. Is it possible that you’re having a permissions issue? Have you checked the permissions for the file? Are you logged in as Admin?
