Photoshop setup.exe does not work

My Photoshop 3 stopped working and I don't have the source material, so I downloaded the version on winworldpc.com/product/adobe-photoshop/305 . When I run setup.exe nothing happens. It shows up in task manager and can't be killed. Has anyone had any success with this item?

I loaded v 2.5 which I have in a similar format (individual floppy images). Running setup.exe in that version works fine. I'm using win xp pro sp3.

I have a working version of PS 6 but "we" much prefer PS 3. Bummer!

    Works fine for me. Perhaps try clearing your temp folder.

    The setup.exe just refuses to run. It starts up and then locks up. "End process" on setup.exe in task manager does nothing - it just sits there and won't go away. Ending wowexe.com (with an error message) does terminate the setup.exe .

    SomeGuy -
    What does the temp folder have to do with it? Did you actually get the v.305 setup.exe downloaded for here to work on a Win XP? What is it that "works fine" for you?

    Are you using Photoshop 3.0.4 or 3.0.5? Photoshop 3.0.4 has a fully 16-bit installer intended for use in Win32s environments, 3.0.5 uses InstallShield, so you can use a 32-bit stub to launch a 32-bit setup.

    ampharos - I'm using 3.0.5 .
    Last night it finally worked. I double clicked on setup.exe and just let it sit. It stayed listed in the task manager, I think with some significant % cpu usage, and in about 30 minutes or so it finally kicked in and went through about 80% of the install and died. Then I started it again and it went through OK. My Photoshop 3 is working now. Thanks for your response.
