I'm going to try to see if I can get it to accept html "PRE" tags
<pre>
sudo cp /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/caps/caps.db /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/caps/caps.db.$(date +%s)
sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/caps/caps.db "update payload_data set value=replace(value,'/Applications','/Applications/Adobe') where value like '/Applications%';"
</pre>

THANK YOU!!!

This lead me to my own command line solution which I think is actually a little easier. My situation was that I moved all the folders for the Adobe CS3 apps to a folder named Adobe, in the Applications folder. So, here are two commands that...
(1) make a backup of the file with a timestamp as the extension. This way running the command multiple times does not overwrite the backup like it would if the extension were a constant, like .bak
(2) replace all occurrences of "/Applications" with "/Applications/Adobe" in values that start with "/Applications"

If you placed your apps in a different path, just use that instead of "/Applications/Adobe" If you didn't move all the CS3 apps, or if you renamed the apps or changed/removed their self-named parent folders, then my automated approach will not work for you and you will have to do it the manual way described by the original poster.

You will get prompted for your user's password, and you must have admin privileges. I don't know if the following will wrap, so I'm going to tell you to make sure that there are only 2 lines and that they both begin with "sudo":
sudo cp /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/caps/caps.db /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/caps/caps.db.$(date +%s)
sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/caps/caps.db "update payload_data set value=replace(value,'/Applications','/Applications/Adobe') where value like '/Applications%';"
