Photoshop cs3 freezes during shared components

From ETCwiki

,

This happened to me when I was installing photoshop cs3 and dreamweaver cs3.

I could not install or uninstall either using their programs.

My solution was to search the registry and delete EVERY key that says dreamweaver, or adobe, or flexnet

Next, search your computer for the same things- dreamweaver, adobe, and flexnet and delete everything. 

Make sure you hit up your Application Data folder (or in vista users folder)


best of luck!
