In attempting to install Photoshop CS3 from the standard installation DVD on my new (mid-2012) Macbook Pro (with OS X Lion, 10.7.5), I ran into an immediate error message as the DVD's setup app started executing. The error had nothing to do with the (often seen) "... install a Java runtime... ". Instead, the message I received was "photoshop cs3 Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."
My solution was to make an image (.dmg) file of the installation DVD on the desktop using Disk Utility (with the DVD mounted, select it on the left side of the Disk Utility window then click on "New Image" and choose the Desktop as the destination). After that, I opened the image file and executed Setup.app (in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 folder). And it installed! I expect this same issue might show up on Mountain Lion as well and, although I haven't tested it, the same solution should certainly be attempted.
This entry might hopefully be seen by someone with the same problem as I was having and, hopefully, the solution posted here will work for you. Good luck!

Paul Ryan for Mitt...
I just finished reading an AP news brief on the Paul Ryan (congressman from Wisconsin) selection as Mitt Romney's running mate. Of course, the Republican party (today) stands for "equal opportunity"... at least equal as long as "equality" means votes for Republican candidates. And we all now are (or should be) aware that Ronald Reagan could never make it through today's Republican party vetting process... yes, he could never be elected as President of the United States today. He would be considered waaayyyy too liberal.
So here we are with today's Republican Vice Presidential candidate hitting the ground running and saying something that immediately rung my memory bells, bringing to life a speech that has echoed through history, a speech by one of the earliest Republicans. Congressman Ryan, today, said "Our rights come from nature and from God, not government." And I say is that really true? I suppose it is, in today's Republican mantra that includes exclusion, that embraces discrimination and that would roll back any of a number of Enlightenment era laws that have helped those in this country that are less able to help themselves (think Social Security, Civil Rights, LGBT Rights, Medicare...).
But we should take a closer look at what Mr. Ryan is saying. Because his statement is clearly in conflict with that of a former Republican with, I would venture to say, significantly more understanding of, and compassion for, humanity than Mr. Ryan (or Mr. Romney) will ever even begin to have. That Republican is President Abraham Lincoln (the first Republican President, 1861-1865) whose words echo, from the Gettysburg Address (1863), that our government is "of the people, by the people, for the people... ". And Mr. Lincoln, I submit, was, and is still, right. Today's fight is really not against conservatism or liberalism in government, it is against both the wasteful use of our resources and funds (yes, Democrats, just plead guilty here, but you are not alone) *and* to ensure that we do not turn to a Christian Theocracy, as Paul Ryan is clearly advocating. Indeed, it is imperative that we do not turn to *any* theocratic form of government but that we heed the founding fathers and ensure freedom of religion by maintaining "a wall of separation between church & state" --Thomas Jefferson, 1802.
It is imperative that we recognize that our rights come from the people, from us... the citizens of this country and that the United States form of government, as embodied in our Constitution (which never once mentions "God"), was originally designed to *ensure* that we do not have to rely on any supernatural being(s) for our human rights (we "been there, done that"--remember Europe and the Dark/Middle Ages, the Inquisition... those were the manifestations of religious control of "human rights").
Remember to vote in November... at least if the conservatives have not passed laws in your state that keep you from doing so.
