Illustrator CS 3 Installs Shared Component Only

[Ti...@adobeforums.com]

Hi

I am trying to install Illustrator CS3, but all the time only the shared components are installed on my computer, not the mail program (Illustrator).
My system is XP, 1.5 GB of RAM. I have already tried to uninstall the program/ shared components + deleteing of the program file folder.

Any tips or hints for this problem would be welcome.

1. Open your Windows registry with regedit [if you have no idea what I
am writing about - leave it and ask a computer consultant].

2. Look for these two entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.svg
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.svgz

3. Right-click and set the rights for the SYSTEM account to Full.

4. Close regedit and install Illustrator.

For strange and probably unknown reasons sometimes the access rights
for certain [rather uninteresting and minor] registry entries get
lost. I have had this with one or two Acrobat entries between v7 and
v8, now with Illustrator between CS2 and CS3, and Quicktime between
6.x and 7.0.

Very annoying; Apple at least did not leave the customer to find any
log files, they wrote out the problematic key.

Hello,
I am having the same exact problems....

I did as you suggested and set the reg to FULL, but when I try to reinstall Illustrator... it will not allow me to.

Am I supposed to uninstall Illustrator CS2 first before installing Illustrator CS 3?

thanks

Just noticed this thread, but sorted it out myself - I just deleted the SVG & SVGZ file types from Folder Options -> File Types and then reinstalled - Fixed!

Stevent.

You are the man...

thanks so much.. I delete those files and it installed.

I can now breathe a huge sigh of relief!

Thanks to Dierk also for helping offline!

Yes this does work. I had the same problem and changed the above mentioned files. Thanks for the advice. GT

Thanks a lot, after days of trying to resolve this problem I have succeeded at last.

Just deleted the SVG & SVGZ file types from Folder Options -> File Types and then reinstalled - Fixed!

Reinstalled from the add/remove of control panel and it worked.

The file assoiation is renewed by the reinstall and are written to Illustrator 11.

Again many thanks.

I'm using Windows XP Home edition and I cannot find the .svg and .svgz files in the registry or Folder Options. When installing Ai CS3, I get the message, "Please insert Adobe Illustrator," which makes no sense. Does anyone know how to bypass this.

P.S. I downloaded the trial version of Ai from this Adobe website.
