Application Manager: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file (Mac)
I would like to install the trial version of Creative Suite 6. I was able to download the .dmg file, but when I run the installation I keep getting the following message:
Installation Failed. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file.
More troubleshooting tips:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software.
3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications.
I downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant program, Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, Adobe Support Advisor, and a recent version of the Application Manager. Yet I keep getting the same error message. I downloaded the program twice already. Nothing seems to be working. Can someone please help me solve this problem?
Thank you for replying Mylenium. I found a list of system requirements: http://www.creativebloq.com/general/adobe-cs6-system-requirements-1233361
The following is some information about my Mac's:
MacBook
Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leaopard
Itel Core Duo (32-Bit)
1GB of RAM
iMac
Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leaopard
Itel Core Duo (32-Bit)
2GB of RAM
I have old computers but they still work just fine. I assume I won't be able to install CS6 in my MacBook, but could I install it in my iMac? Is Firefox browser okay?
It's disappointing that nowadays we constantly need to purchase new devices to correspond with new software when older devices still work just fine.

The liquifying too stopped working completely, when I try to work with the actions, it starts flickering and changing opacity in color by itself. It starts flickering and is completely out of whack! I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still no luck. I tried getting in touch with adobe and no luck with that neither! Is there anyway you might be able to help?

Installation error "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file." (Win7)
When I try to install I get the following message- "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please dowload Adobe Support advisor to detect the problem." Adobe Support Advisor can't find anything wrong. I've tried downloading with both IE and Chrome. I'm running Win7.
It seems a case of bad extract, Plese re-extract or redownload CS6.
Do let us know if problem persists.

I downloaded the 32 bit version of photoshop cc 2014. When trying to install I get the message that installer failed to initialize and that this could be due to a missing file. Has anybody a solution>?
Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer? You need to do that.
I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

I receive a message when trying to open Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CS6, etc., then when I try to follow the directions for troubleshooting, the installer fails to initialize.
Error message: "Adobe Application Manager is needed to resolve this problem. However it is missing or damaged". Then, after download, the program fails to load and displays this message: "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem". When following the link, Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued 'because their products are now so stable. -I can see how stable they are.. How do I get assistance with Installer issues?
Any helpful thoughts?Hi David,

Adobe Application Manager installer failed to initialize
hello ~
After upgrading to CS5.5 i realize the application manager is missing and is needed for all auto updating. I downloaded Application Managger 2.0 but it won't install. Every time i try to install and get error message "Installer failed to intitialize." This is very frustrating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.After trying to uninstall my CS5.5, and this is what i conclude: Adobe has been in the software business over 20 years, and i'm astounded the software engineers didn't get this one part right
Apparently Cleaner app didn't really "clean" out all the CS files from my drive because after re-installation, Adobe App Manager is still missing or not working correctly. So I tried using the Uninstaller (part of CS), and that didn't work either because the error message says it needs AMM to run!
CS5.5 needs AMM to for self updating. AMM is not working because it needs re-installing. Uninstall app itself doesn't work because it needs AMM to run. The interdependcy of the CS apps is resulted in loop of problems that you can't get out of. This is just plain ridiculous.
Any product manager here can figure this out? -
I recently purchased an upgrade to Photoshop CS6. (Dec 9 2014). I have today downloaded the file (Photoshop_13_LS16.7z
This downloaded OK
When I tried to run the file (Winzip) I got the following message
"Installer failed to initialise. Could be due to a missing file. Please download Abobe support adviser."
I tried to do that and it told me Adobe support adviser no longer exists.
Could you please advise a solution.Extract it to a different location inside a dedicated folder and make sure to not destroy the file and folder hierarchy inside the archive. also run the install with sufficient user privielges and security stuff turned off.

Application Manager - Installation failed
Adobe Application Manager Starts, then states that it's initializing, then it says that it's updating. Then it says that Installation failed.
I downloaded Adobe Support Advisor, and it shows that everything is okay.
I've had Adobe Cloud for a couple months and everything was working fine until recently.
I am using Windows Vista 64bit
This is killing me because I need to download Adobe Audition to finish a project deadline. Any help would be awesome!If you can't find the solution then you could try downloading the installer file from these links:
For Windows:
https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
For MACs:
https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
Save the file on your desktop and using an Administrator account (or user with Administrator rights) double-click on the downloaded file to install it on your machine.
Good luck. -
Adobe Application Manager: Installation Failed
Hello, my name is Keem.
I just signed up for creative cloud as a student. I installed the Adobe Application Manager, which from what I hear is what allows you to install the software's onto your computer.. Now, whenever I try to install one of the applications, for example; Adobe Premiere, it gives me an orange highlighted text that reads "Installation Failed". Under the dropdown arrow for it, it reads "Administrative priveledges are required to install, please retry, or cancel to install later."
Is this normal?
I would appreciate any help! Thank you
**Update
I fixed the problem and the programs seem to be installing fine, however; having had an old version of Adobe Premiere/Photoshop/After Effects, Illustrator ETC, I decided to delete them off of my computer. The problem is though, that on my Adobe Application Manager, they say "Up to date" when they aren't even located on my hard drive anymore. How can I fix this?Hi icaptureart ,
Basically you are facing two different issues . First of all , to install any of the Adobe products , we need to be logged in as the Local computer's Admin so that the required changes/modification can take place succesfully .
Second issue that you are facing where in the Adobe application manager is still saying the products are available on your system because we only moved the products to trash,we never deleted the actual products. To delete the products on your machine , i would request you to kindly navigate to Utilities>Adobe Installers and select the uninstaller from within this folder .
Please let us know if the above mentioned helps .
