Attempting retail install CS6, but failed installation occurs every attempt on Win7x64

First off, appologies for this post, I'm a bit flustered.
New Win7x64 computer and an attempt to install retail CS6 have failed. I now get the following error message upon each install attempt:  "Installer failed to initialize.  File not found.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem".  I did, and with some internet issues I finally sent in a report.  I tried the Cleaner tool several times, no help.  I attempted to remove a registry entry as described in a "bootstrapper error" fix, but that particular "InProgress Key" does not exist.
I even attempted to download and install a trial of CS6, but upon attempting to install I yet again recieved the same error message.
What is my next move?
As with anyone else with an issue, I just want to intstall CS6 and be on my way.  I also own retail LR3 and Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 (plug-in), but I will not attempt to install those UNTILL I can resolve the CS6 install issue.  I need all 3 of these programs, now.
Once again, thank you for any assistance that can be provided.

I solved my issue with a work around that I can live with, but I still have questions about why my CS6 disk would not install originally.
Okay, I decided to create a new Admin User account and shut down AV.  In the new Amin user account I loaded the CS6 disk, I was returned with a":you must restart" error.  I did.  Re-loaded CS6, I got the installer, I got the ueula, I got the product key page, I finally got into the authorized product screen, then when trying to log in my log in stalled for 15 minutes.  Just a gray screen with no other options but to shut the install down with Task Manager.  I did, and waited for the program to end on it's own, and NOT selecting the End Now option.  I started the process again, got the the sign in and I stalled again.  The third time finally got me conected, and I was then able to instal CS6x64 on my New Admin User account.
Once finished, I checked the program, good.  I then shut down and restarted, but logged onto my original Admin user account.  CS6x64 is there and fully functional, and plug in Silver Efex Pro 2 was added no problem. 
So I am pleased I got the install working and I can fully use the program as intended, I still have questions about the issues that would not allow me to install normally.
Thank you all for looking, and thank you Curt for your responces.  I think I will still call Adobe and run this by them.
Install Error Not resolved, but worked around.

  • Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) Now have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but won't accept serial number

    Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) along with prior Photoshop versions. Now I have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but it won't accept my original serial number (Starts with PSW401, etc.).

    I know what you are saying. I had purchased the CS5.5 upgrade, and a week later got the CS6 upgrade. I did this back in 2012. I had a old Mac Power PC which does not allow you to install CS5.5 or CS6 because it was not an intel processor. So even though I had the upgrades I never installed them. I waited until my old MAC died which it did this past weekend. And now that I have a new iMac I tried to install the new software. All of my past upgrades referenced my original Photoshop that was still resident on my old Mac. But since the install no longer has that reference because of the new computer, it will not accept any of my past serial numbers that it needs for the install.

  • Trying to install CS6 but when I click to install it says Adobe Installer is already running.

    HI,
    I'm trying to install Adobe CS6 Master Collection but when I click to install it says Adobe Installer is already running when in fact it is not.  I double checked my Force Quit window and my Activity monitor it is not running. What do I do?
    Here is a screen shot to show you the error message.

    I'm not really  a Mac expert, we might need some Mac experts to chime in here.
    It probably is a background process and not an application. If anything, I think you'll find it in the Activity Monitor.
    If that does not help, you could also try the following:
    1. Reboot and retry install ( you've probably done this already)
    2. Boot in safe mode and then try installing.

  • Just installed CS6 but can't associate file type JPG with Photoshop.

    I've just now installed Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4. File types PSD and TIFF work fine, but I'm completely unable to associate JPG, JPEG or any other variant with the Photoshop program such that I can double-click on the photo file and open Photoshop and the photo. I can associate JPG with either Bridge or Lightroom, or several other programs, but when I browse to Photoshop and select Photoshop.exe nothing happens, not even an error message. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?
    Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, 32-bit. There is 4GB of memory in the machine, which is a Dell Vostro 1720 laptop.
    Thanks,
    Bill Sexauer

    I know there is a problem with the file associations and that I need to fix them. What I don't know is how to do it. I successfully fixed the associations for file types PSD and TIFF, but I'm completely unable to do the same for type JPG. I did use Open With and that's where it just refused to allow me to change to Photoshop. It would allow me to change from the default Windows Photo Viewer to Bridge or to Lightroom, but not to Photoshop.
    The problem was probably caused by my having installed CS6 prior to uninstalling CS4. Should I just reinstall CS6 right over the top of the existing CS6?

  • Just installed CS6, but still have some need for CS4

    I just installed CS6. I have a plug in (Lucis filters that don't want to load into CS6, and may not be compatible), so I still want to use my CS4.
    If I open images from Bridge CS4, how can I get them to open in Photoshop CS4 instead of CS6?

    If you want an ongoing choice (and you're using Windows) you could put shortcuts to each of the two versions of Photoshop.exe on your desktop and drag images to whichever one you want to use.
    Keep in mind you can only have one of them running at a time.  If Photoshop CS6 is already open and you drag a file to Photoshop CS4's shortcut, it will still open in Photoshop CS6.

  • I am trying to install cs6 but it says some files might be missing i downloaded for 5 hours

    hello I have cs6 design & web premium I am trying to install in my new computer but for some reason it was not reading the disk. I did the whole downloading for 5 hours from adobe.com now that I click set up it says it cannot because some files might be missing.. how do I know what is missing or what to do?

    Natalychinchilla,
    It seems like that you have downloaded two different files (For two different language)  on your machine. If you have used the below mentioned download link for downloading your product, please make sure that you are using the installer for the same language. Please check the below screen shot for the explanation.
    Download CS6 products
    Once you have downloaded both the files, please click on DesignWebPremium_CS6_LS16.exe to perform the extraction followed by installation.
    Cheers,

  • I tried to install Lion but an error occurred in the process but now app store says it is already installed in my mac even though I haven't... How can I fix this?

    Anyone who has the same problem and idea how I can fix this?

    It may be that the Lion installer has been downloaded to your Mac but it hasn't yet been run.  Look for it in the Dock or in the Applications folder.  If you see it there, launch it to install Lion.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • I am trying to re-install CS6 but it says my serial number is incorrect.

    I am using the same number that is on my box as well as my adobe id. 
    The reason I am doing this is I had a trial of Adobe Pro XI but decided not to use it so I need to reinstall Adobe Pro X

    Hi Michael,
    The provided serial key is a valid serial for Design and Web Premium CS6 Upgrade.
    To use the serial number you need to have the serial number fo the previous qualifying version handy as the installer will prompt to enter the olde serial number as well.

  • CS6 Illustrator failed installation

    CS6 Illustrator install failure on MacBookPro, OSX 10.7.5: Exit Code: 7, Summary 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s) Payload: AdobeColorCommonSetCMYK CS6 4.0.0.0 {0C4E7429-E920-4125-980E-029A87AE0A4D} ERROR: DF024: Unable to preserve original file at "/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Recommended" (Seq 22). How to resolve?

    It appears you are facing a file permission issue possibly with a previously installed color profile?
    I would recommend you begin by reviewing the installation log file in it's entirety to determine the exact location the installer is not able to write too.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

    Uninstalled CS6, restarted Windows 7, installed Master CS6 again. had to supply code and register again, software could not connect to internet.
    Tried all the trics published on internet, to no avail, no way to generate request code for off-line registration.
    Uninstalled Master CS6, restarted Windows 7, applied Creative Cloud Cleaner, installed Master CS6: cannot register because internet connection not working.
