I tried doing this, and all it has done for me is remove every trace of the creative suite from my PC.
After removal I reinstalled, and now Dreamweaver won't install at all. All of the other programs from my creative suite installed except for 64 bit Photoshop CS5 and Dreamweaver CS5.
I don't know why this is happening when when it was installed and working on this computer with Windows 8 for over a year. Any other solutions/ideas?
