Adobe cs6 products failing to work

I have been having problems with my adobe cs6 creative suite software, (Bridge, fireworks, dreamweaver) work as normal but with Photoshop works sometimes then on occasions shuts itself down whilst Indesign and Illustrator are failing to open altogether just close down. Am i having to re install the products?

Did you install using a Cloud download, or do you have the CS6 standalone version?
Either way, you should run the cleaner if you do reinstall

Adobe CS6 Production Premium Install Issues

I recently built a new PC and transferred my Adobe CS6 Production Premium and Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium software to the new pc without issue. I had an issue after installing different software and had to go back to a previous restore point in windows. After doing this, it appears as though there are several adobe files still on the pc. The issue is that when try to reinstall, I get an error from adobe installer which says the installer failed to initialize, and for me to download the adobe support advisor to detect the problem. When I try to downlad this, it says the support advisor has been discontinued. How can I get these installed? I cannot even get to the initial install asking for my keys. I am running windows 8.1 as an OS.
Thanks!

I was able to find a previous version of adobe support advisor and ran it, this is what I get. The path it points me to in the registry does not exist. hmmm

I have Windows 8.1 and Adobe CS6 - acrobat just stoped working, won't open anything won't print to pdf. HELP!

Please help me!! I have Windows 8.1 and Adobe CS6 creative Suite. Adobe Acrobat x just quit, It won't open anything and it wont print to PDF. I need this for work!

Typically, the repair is done from the Control Panel>Programs & Features. In the future, try that route. Glad you found something that worked. When you do come to the forums for help, you may not get an immediate response, but may have to wait for someone familiar with your issue happens to check the forum, possibly after work. In any case, glad you have a working product again.

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! - Irritating

Cabsupportinfo 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.

Important licensing question for Adobe CS6 Production Premium (Student-Licensing)

Hello dear Community!
I have a very small film production and live in a flat share with students as my roommates. One of my associates is a good friend of mine and is also very interested in movie- and film-editing.
He also asked me what softwares are available for editing movies properly so I told him about Adobe and its products especially because of the fact that I'm looking forward to purchase a licence in the future. For now I'm editing in LightWorks (Free-Version).
The fact is that we realized that we would be able to afford the CS6 ProductionPremium-Suite Student-Edition together. He as a student would buy the product and us it as well. (http://www.adobe.com/education/products/creativesuite/production.edu.html?showEduReq=no)
But the question is:
Could I (as a small signed business) also use this purchased product for my commercial business and works?
I'm really honest with this question.
Thank you guys for your answers!

No. But your room mate can.

Setup Error when trying to install any adobe CS6 Product

I have analyzed the PDApp.log after trying to install any product, as Photoshop or Flash Pro (where I get "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."), and there's 1 particular part, that seems to attract my attention:
"[FATAL] Setup - Error installing C:\(installation path)\packages\core\PDApp.pimx package.
Return Value of pim_installPackage = -1"
Before, the log also says that getInstalledPackageSize: Package folder does not exist on the system.

Hi compsai,
There might be insufficent permissions. Please try the following :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

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?

"Its not compulsory or obligatory to upgrade. Many do not do so on every advance and stick with a version they can afford or are comfortable with."
I had that much figured out. Try reading my first sentence where I'm upgrading for SPEED GRADE!!
Thanks for both of you for ruining my experince of posting here.
In fact I would appreciate no more condesending and negative comments directed at me. If you have something to contribuite to the subject, please do state them without latching onto me. Keep in mind I was just posting my observations on the new release of 6.0 of which I own the Master Suite. If you want to take your problems out on someone please go some place else that is more suitable for imature behavior. Otherwise I'm not responding to any more trolls.
There was considerable backlash with Adobe's most recent upgrade strategy. I stated my perspective. If you have a differnt perspective please state it without latching on to me.

Adobe CS6 sign in not working

Had a user call today with common Adobe sigin in issue; Can't use acrobat, won't open. No lockups, so it's the normal , deactivate/activate solution. Well the sign in page comes up, but continually spins, and tells me I'm not connected to the internet. What's up with Adobe? I had to log on to a server half way around the world to even log into the forums to ask this..

Is there a PDF of the Adobe CS6 product poster available?

I need to hang one up in our classroom and the Adobe customer service reps I've chatted with (4 of them!) could not even understand the question. I need a 2 foot by 3 foot poster celebrating the master collection. I know that SOMEONE in Adobe has created one for trade shows and the like. I don't want to buy one. I just need a PDF that I will print out myself. Many thanks to anyone who can end my frustration.

Hi, HelpMe123456,
It's terrific that you'd like to have a poster of Creative Suite 6 in your classroom! Adobe doesn't typically release these PDFs, but I'll check with our marketing team.
May I ask if your classroom is in a school, college, university or training center?
Thanks,
Kirsti
