Installer failed to initialize. Installing PS Elements 10 to a MacBook Air

I am trying to install Photoshop Elements to my MacBook Air and I get the following error:
Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
I did and it can not seem to find any issues.
Help.

I called into support last night because I am an impatient type and expect better response time. I was told the disk I had was damaged and I would have to download the file. I expected to at least to get a replacement disk as I just bought the program. I was told I have to pay to get the disk.
This whole thing is so frustrating.
I did at least get the program up and running.

    How can I install it???
    Thanks for help!

    Download from the free trial link - it's the full product.
    Then validate with the serial number from your disk.

  • How to install Photoshop Elements 8 in Macbook Air if I have DVD?

    Hello, I have a DVD that I purchased of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 that I'd like to install in my new Macbook Air. There is no DVD drive in this machine. How can I install it?

    You can download from the link below. But note that you need to be signed-in to the trials server with your Adobe ID otherwise the link for the Mac download will be denied. Follow the directions under "Very Important Instructions" before starting the download. When you complete the installation you can validate with your 24 digit serial number from you disk packaging.

  • New install of Elements 9 on MacBook Air keeps closing

    I just installed Elements 9 for Mac on my MacBook Air and when I open it I get a welcome screen which I dont want I dont get it on my iMac.
    Once I have Elements open if I go to Aperture to drag and drop an image for editing Elements closes and I have to open it again. I tried re installing but it still doesn't work.
    How can I stop the Welcome screen, how can I drag and drop images from Aperture without Elements closing?

    They are not from elements for windows, which has a totally different file structure. If you have left your windows in icon view you will have a terrible time finding anything anywhere. To get into list view click this button at the top of any finder window:
    The various finder window views are very useful for different things. The coverflow view is handy for looking through new photo imports, for example. You can just press the space bar (for quick look) when you want a larger look at one of the thumbs. Tap it again to close quick look.
    Column view (the button to the right of list view) is also much more useful than icon view.

    I HAVE tried the below, but I do not have the program on the list to uninstall when I get to the Control Panel Programs list.

    ANY advice would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    Changed file permissions as advised, and ran the install again, receiving the below log update. Would Adobe Application Manager help?
    Thanks for your continued help

  • How to install Photoshop Elements 11 on Macbook Pro 10.8.3 after the installer failed to initialize

    I tried several times to install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro (10.8.3) but the installer failed to initialize and the Support Advisor inspection could not identify any issue. I went today to the Apple Store to get help and the Genius guy couldn't resolve the problem either. He told me to contact Adobe Support and he gave me an Adobe token number.
    Does anyone knows how can I resolve this problem? Any help would be truly appreciate it!!!
    Thanks a lot!!!
