Adobe Illustrator CS3 Installer

"Installation failed -- error 2739, please contact customer service."

Reboot. Maybe because I haven't rebooted after the last security update...?

"Failed. 2739"

Arrgh. How nice. How welcoming.

Start searching Internet as calling customer service is not on my list of things to do tonight....

Solution:

#1445655: Win: Unregistered dlls on Vista can cause installer to fail
------------------------------------------------------------
This is the solution for the 2739 install error on Vista:
1) Launch the Command Prompt from an account with admin privileges
2) Type in the following command and press Return
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\vbscript.dll
3) Type in the following command and press Return
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\jscript.dll
4) Launch Setup

Eh?

Installer starts and works though. Supposedly, this error can happen with the Adobe Creative Suite or Adobe Photoshop as well.

Check out what must be the ugliest icon for a drive ever though:

Adobe's packages are usually decent enough and the stuff is usually polished visually -- so, it's even more glaring that this would look so absolutely awful.

 

I like the new Vista application icon for their setup program:

Why didn't the artist who worked on that work on some decent drive icons? :)
