Uninstall any of the fragmented remnants properly through the "Add or Remove Programs" Control Panel, then run the CS3 clean scripts and remove everything Adobe, including possible other tools. Install PS, then update. Only after that you should try to install anything else you may need to work.

thanks for your help guys, i finally got the install to work, i had uninstalled several times, even cleaning it from the reg. but it still wouldn’t work.
what i stumbled onto was when PS3 showed where it wanted to put the file ,it was correct but i went in and selected the path myself (no auto run)
hope this helps,
