If you have tried to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 Suite on your Windows Server 2003 chances are you have encountered this error: The minimum system requirements listed below are needed in order to run Adobe Photoshop CS3 and are not met * Windows XP Service Pack 2 and greater * Windows Vista

right click on it and to trick the installer that it runs on a different O.S type the following values:

Click on save and run the installer again.
