I solved it! Finally!!
I re-read the log of the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool (because the first time i'd not noticed): there was a folder of adobe in common files that conflicted with some installation files so the installer of cs6 master collection failed to initialize!
Im very happy now!

Windows 7 crashed after Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium completed an update. The only Windows restore point that worked was pre-installation of CS6 software. Now when trying to reinstall I get the 'installer failed to initialize' message. Have tried using the CC Cleaner Tool but nothing works? Any solution please. Was new computer and newly purchased CS6 software downloaded 2 days prior to the upgrade.

Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6 installer failed to initialize on Mac Book Air
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6 for at least a month now.
I have downloaded the .dmg file at the Adobe Website and it starts to initializing the installer, then a error show up:
"The installer could not initialize. Download the Adobe Support Advisor."
There is no Adobe Support Advisor when I clicked on the link. "The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" (http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/)
I've tried this many times, but every time being a failure.

Error: "Installer failed to initialize" | Windows
Thanks,
Atul Saini -
I've read through countless posts on different sites and still can't find a fix to this. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what advice actually applies to me. After extracting all the files and I run the setup I get about 75% through before I get the Installer failed to initialize message. After looking at the PDapp data It seems clear what the problem is, but I have no idea how to fix it. The fatal/error messages are as follows:
[FATAL] Setup - Adobe Application Manager executable does not exist at the location: C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe
[FATAL] Setup - Unable to launch PDApp. File missing
[ERROR] Setup - Error in deleting folder C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe. Error Code:145
Please, any help would be great.first thing to do is to re-download ps cs6 in case your dl was corrupted.
if you have no other cs6 programs installed, run the cleaner before trying to re-install: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html -
I am having trouble installing cs6 mc from both dvd and download.
I keep getting the same error for the Installer "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
Is there a fix for this?

Please help.
Thank you,
CarlThat LOOKS like you are trying to install to the D drive instead of the default C drive... true?
What happens if you install to the default C drive?
What happens if you right click the installer and select "Run as Administrator" from the option list? -
Adobe CS6 'Installer failed to initialize' on Windows 7. Help!
I downloaded the Adobe Extended CS6 from Adobe.com on to my Windows 7 (HP) Dell laptop on 64bit.
After unpacking the downloaded file, I tried to run the installer but got the message - 'Installer failed to initialize'. It tells me to dowload the Adobe Support Advisor but the program is no longer available. See- Adobe - Adobe Support Advisor
This new link just gives generic links. (Thanks for that Adobe!)
In trying to fix this, I have uninstalled all Adobe Cloud/Flash software and ran the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner and CCleaner tools. And yet the problem persists.
I've lost half a day trying to fix this, so if there's anyone out there who can help I'd be very grateful!Is your user profile on the C: drive? How about the Temp directory?

Photoshop CS6 installer fails to initialize
After downloading the Mac version of Photoshop CS6 using Download Assistant, I attempted to install it as a trial. When I launch the Photoshop CS6 install app, it comes back with "We've encountered the following issues -- installer failed to initialize." It suggested Adobe Support Advisor be downloaded to detect the problem. I downloaded and ran that. It comes back with "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance." So here I am...
At first download the Adobe applciation manager manually from the locations:
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4774&fileID=4438
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4773&fileID=4437
Later If you are still facing issue. Rename Media_db, pdb and OOBE folder.
The path for the above files will be:
1: OOBE
Windows: C>Program files or Program files(x86)>Common files>Adobe>OOBE and rename the OOBE folder to like (OOBEold).
Mac OS X : Macintosh HD>Library>Applciation support>Adobe>OOBE .
Note: The library will be hidden in Mac OS X version 10.7 and later you can access the hidden library ie the root library by In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library and click Go to access the hidden library.
2:Location of Media_db, pdb files.
Windows: C>Program files or Program files(x86)>Common files>Adobe>Caps
Mac OS X : Macintosh HD>Library>Applciation support>Adobe>Caps.
After renaming OOBE, Media_db, pdb files run the Application manager which was downloaded and if the issue still persists then:

Adobe CS6 "installer failed to initialize"
Have been installing CS6 manually across our site for about a week, suddenly the install has stopped working and I receive the following error;
"We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
When I click on the link to "Get Adobe Support Advisor", it says its discontinued! - IrritatingCabsupportinfo are you installing using a fresh copy of the installation files?
For the specific error I would recommend reviewing your PDApp.log file. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your PDApp.log file at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover. -
InDesign CS6 trial download: "Installer failed to initialize"
Hi, I have successfully downloaded Adobe InDesign CS6, using the Download Manager Software. When I click on 'Install", a window appears with a progress bar ("Adobe Installer"), and the bar gets about 2/3 through, then I get an error message saying "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." Then a link to download Adobe Support Advisor, or button to Quit.
So, I downloaded and ran Adobe Support Advisor. After initializing, the software tells me "no issues detected."
- My machine meets the system reqs for InDesign CS6
- Obviously I have tried restarting my machine and running all these steps again. Still getting the error.
Please help!!! Thank you.Okay, Mylenium, here are my system specs:
Mac os x version 10.6.8, 4gigs memory, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 470 Gigs of available hard drive space.
I have run all of Apple's software updates up to today, and I have also run cleanup and Disk Utility repairs just in case these are a factor. Still getting the error message with the "Failure to initialize install."
Also: I have installed on my machine InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Dreamweaver CS5.
Can you help me? -

When I begin the installation for the CS6 Master Collection, I get an effor saying, "We've encountered the following issues" and below it says, "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." I have already downloaded it, and it didn't help at all. I've tried repairing disk permissions and rebooting, but nothing yet. I have a Mac, and this is my first time installing ANY adobe products on it besides air and flash (of course).
It didn't log anything:
