After installing the CS4 upgrade on my Vista 32-bit machine I went to uninstall CS3. The procedure ended up with the red crosses and an error message stating that CS3 and components could not be removed.

Having deactivated CS3 I tried once more with the same result.

I would appreciate any advice on how best to proceed to uninstall CS3 whilst ensuring I don’t screw up my CS4 installation.

Run the CS4 Clean Utility (that is really CS4, not CS3!!!) provided on the support page. It will unregister and release all components still lingering from CS3 and thereafter you can manually delete them (or simply leave them in place if you don’t mind).
