In Adobe Download Assistant I keep getting message saying 'Installation failed to initialize'.
I have a Dell computer running Windows 8.1 on which I had Photoshop Elements 11 installed without any difficulty. I uninstalled 11 as I have now bought Elements 13 and have downloaded the Download Assistant but it keeps telling me that 'Installation failed to initialize' so I can't install either the new 13 OR re-install my old 11. I have tried re downloading the Download Assistant and restarting my computer with firewall etc disabled but to no avail. I need to use Elements on a regular basis and I am really disappointed that I have just spent £80 on some software which I cannot install. I have very limited computer skills and I am fast running out of hair as it is nearly all pulled out. Please help!

Why can I no longer install iTunes updates on my computer? I keep getting messages saying it fails, and to do it manually, but then I get popups questioning whether I have the authority to make these changes. And it never updates.
Make sure you are running as the Administrator of the Account.

trying to download itunes and keep getting message 'the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation' and therefore cant download - any ideas
Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you? -

Hi all. I am new to iPad and am trying to buy / download certain apps thru iTunes and or App Store. I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this? Thanks
If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.
And keep in mind, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

I cannot open my itunes, I keep getting message, saying Itunes exe-system error. The progam can't start because SVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.?
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

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'm trying to update my iPad2 to iOS 7.06. In Settings it says there is an update. As far as I can tell the download completes although it seems to download slowly. But I always get a message saying installation has failed. Any ideas on what to do next? Thanks.
I strongly suggest using the instructions provided in the "Update your device using iTunes" section of the HT4623 article you attached above.
