If you experience problems with removal or installation, you may need to use the Adobe CS3Clean Script. This script cleanly removes beta and pre-release installations and allows installation of the shipping versions of Creative Suite 3. Please carefully follow all instructions in the ReadMe file provided when you download the CS3Clean script.
WARNING: Before running the CS3Clean Script, it is critical that you back up your hard drive including all data, content, and applications. Failure to do so, and failure to follow the instructions included with the script, could result in the loss of the contents of your hard drive.
You can download the script from the Adobe website at: www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html.
