How to install InDesign CS6 from disk on a Windows 8.1 (64-bit) PC when installation fails after the first initialization of installation program, without error message?

I have a (legally purchased) disc with InDesign CS6 that I want to install on a PC with Windows 8.1 (64-bit). After I've double-clicked the Set-up.exe file on the disc, a box is displayed showing the progress of the initialization of the installation program. When the coloured bar in the box is full – indicating that this step is completed – the installation stops and nothing more happens. No error messages are displayed.
I can't find any useful instructions in the Adobe Help pages more than a note that there is support for also Windows 8.1 even though the system requirements printed on the disc box only lists Windows XP and Windows 7. I don't know how to make this work. Does anybody here have any suggestions? I'd be ever so grateful for any tips.

Thanks, Jeff! The file Adobe Setup Error.log contains the following information:

I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library. When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". need help

I recently reset my computer and copy my music from an external hard drive to my itunes library. When I click on a song to play i get an error message that says " the song could not be used because the original file could not be found". But when I have my external hard drive plug in the song will play with no problem. What do I need to do to play my music without having the external harddrive plug in ???????? Please help

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

Install indesign cs6 from creative cloud

Thanks for your reply.
I tried to find the download like you described. I'm not able to find the drop-down.
I'm using Creative Cloud in German - is this the problem?

Hi Georg,
You can also download Creative Suite 6 outside of the Creative Cloud if you want, using the Adobe CS6 direct download links...
Just make sure to follow the important instructions on that page, which are required by Adobe to access the links.
Those are the free trial versions, but are convertible to full releases with a valid purchased serial number, or a CC membership.
They are also available there in multiple languages, including German and other European versions.
Hope that helps!

InDesign CS6 from Mac Yosemite to Windows Server 2012 SLOW!!

In here were using InDesign CS6 on 20 Mac Pro Late 2008 and Early 2013, on all the machines the InDesign CS6 is slow, whenever they drag a text or trying to edit is hangs for seconds then it works
They save the files on the server and they work on it directly from the server or sometimes they copy the files on the desktop and they workm its the same only a little performance once they copy it on the desktop
Read many articles, fixes and some solutions nothing is working still slow, also find some people here getting these problems and tried their solution nothing, i need help
All Adobe is updated to the latest version
Mac Pro Late 2008 Specs:                                   Mac Pro Early 2013 Specs:

CS6 is 32 bit. Yes…I’m dead sure of that.
Things to try:
1.       Be sure screen redraw is set to delayed.
2.       Turn off page thumbnails in the pages panel
3.       Set previews to typical
I would also download and install the CC2014 trial to test that out. If it’s also dead slow you have a system problem somewhere. If it’s fast, at least you have an upgrade path.

Please help me start InDesign CS6 from my computer!!!

I am new at this and I don't know how to start indesign cs6 from my computer.

Is the program correctly installed? It should start the same as any other application that is installed.
Or perhaps you are able to start ID and don't know how to create a document? Or is it crashing during startup?
Please give us complete details of what is happening, including your Operating System and the exact wording of any error messages you receive so that we can do more to help you.

I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. I double click the desktop icon and double click on a PDF file and the hour glass (circle) appears for about 5 seconds but no Adobe Acrobat.

If it's not launching you can try repairing it from the control panel. If that doesn't work then try reinstalling it.

Installing InDesign Only from Creative Suite Disk

I wish to Install InDesign ONLY from my Creative Suite 2 Disk.
I have The full Creative Suite 4 collection of applications installed on my Mac Pro.
It resides on my NEW main hard drive. All of my copy of Creative Suite 2 was lost as per the drive failure.
I want to install InDesign on my new drive. I still have the Creative Suite 2 Disks from whch to do the installation but am not sure how to install only one applcation form them.
This is likely a simple procedure, but I hesitate to undertake it without knowing precisely how to do so.
Thank you,
_my_pov

Thank you. I'd never used InDesign in the past and given the resolution to this installation think I'll pass on doing so now.
CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator are my mainstays...and needing to reinstall them again might be more grief than it's worth.
Thanks Again.

How can I install InDesign CS6 with my newly purchased serial no. when I have deleted the trial?

hi guys,
I need to know how I can install InDesign CS6 with my newly purchased serial no. when I have deleted the trial version? In other words I do not have the trial version any longer so I need the actual download files/folder to link the serial number to. I have CC as well but that shouldn't make a difference - I need to run InDesign CS6 for third party plugins.
Any help would be appreciated.
MWP

Hi there,
If you have purchased CS6 Indesign Download from Adobe Online, then you can go ahead and login to your Adobe account and navigate to "My Adobe" > "My Orders" to locate the Order, its download and the serial number.
You can also download the same trial version again and just use the serial number to activate it to a full version. Below is the link for the trial versions for CS6 versions:

Do I need to unistall CS5 prior to installing CS6 from disk. Thanks

Any Adobe Desktop applications don't overwrite the older version while installation. They install in seperate folders. You can Install and use CS5 and CS6 on the same computer, even simultaneously.

Installer failed to initialize: unable to install Photoshop CS6 from download

I'm unable to install photoshop CS6 from download. I've downloaded to required two files (Photoshop_13_LS16.7z and Photoship_13_LS16) and double clicked on the second file. This appeared to extract a number of files and folders to a newly created C:/users/lester/desktop/adobe CS6/Photoshop/ folder. I found a file called "Set-up.exe" inside the .../Adobe CS6/ folder and double clicked it. When I double click, a status bar says "initializing installer" for a few seconds, I get the following error message:
! We've encountered the followng issues
Adobe installer is already running. Please close other Adobe installers and select retry option to continue with this installation.
Get Adobe Support Advisor
Nothing else is running in Windows. The adobe support advisor link is useless because the page says support advisor was discontinued. The "how to download" PDF on the download page was useless (for CD disk downloads only). Any ideas?

Thanks Jeff - I decided to do a complete reinstall of Windows because of this issue and others with unwanted popups I accidentally downloaded. Hopefully things will go smoother the third time around, just as they did a few days ago when I did install PS CS6 without any problems.

I can't install InDesign CS6 on my computer.

How use my indesign CS6 on both iMac and Macbook Pro

Wish to copy my indesign CS6 from my iMac to my Macbook Pro. Have downloaded CS6 3.5 gb from Adobe but will not open and does not show in my applications folder. My idd document is on desktop but is gray and has green letters: exec. Help!

You cannot copy or migrate a copy of InDesign from one computer to another. Adobe applications install a host of files in various locations which are not properly installed.
You must either use the installer file which you originally received or downloaded. You can also download CS6 again from this location:
Other downloads
Unfortunately, before you can do that, you'll have to remove the components you copied to your second computer. You can use this Adobe Cleaner tool to do that:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins

What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

How to install a package from a disc

i have the file sudo-1.7.2p3.tar on a disk and i need to know how to install a package from a cd, what lines do i need to type to install it?:|

If you are running as root, you can execute that command as ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o and there is no need for sudo.
Btw, what wireless card is this? Have you tried searching for a pacman package for it?
To access the cd drive, use the mount command. Enter man mount to read the manual. (I assume you do not have a graphical environment set up yet.)
