Can't install or uninstall Elements 12

I tried installing Elements 12 from a CD on my E drive (with anti-virus off).  Went well for a while until it got to the point of installing the common items (or something like that).  I tried the "advisor" but it found nothing.  I got a message to restart my stystem and try again.  When I tried again, it went into uninstall mode and after a bit, I got an error that the path was invalid.  I then tried to delete all the program files and the program data files but that didn't help.  So now I am stuck.  So, how can I get back to where I can try to reinstall again (one more time).

Glennroe please try using the CC Cleaner Tool to attempt to remove your current installation of Photoshop Elements.  You can find details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
When you reinstall I would recommend installing to the default location of your C: drive and seeing you still experience difficulties.  You can also copy the contents of the installation DVD to your desktop if you are concerned that the installation media has been damaged.  If you receive a disk error during the copying process then you can download the installation files for Photoshop Elements from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us.

  • I can't install on uninstall iTunes on my laptop; running Windows XP.  I've tried all the steps in Apple Support as well as Windows support.  Can anyone help?  I fet the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    I can't install or uninstall iTunes on my laptop.  I've followed all the steps on Apple Support as well as Microsoft support.  I get the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Pick an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi".  This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I'm very frustrated.  From what I can see, I'm not the only one with this problem, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution that works.  Microsoft wants to charge me $99 to troubleshoot it for me and Apple will charge $20.  I think both are ridiculous as this is obviously not "operator error".

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Error 1402 refers to a non-existent key.  Can't install or uninstall to fix printer driver issues.

    I can't install or uninstall Acrobat 9.5.3. I keep getting Error 1402, which states that I don't have permission to modify a key that doesn't exist in RegEdit: \UNKNOWN\Components\Lots of numbers. Even Revo Pro can't uninstall it.
    I am trying to fix a problem with converting documents from Word. The process stalls because Acrobat can't find its printer drivers. The suggested solution is to uninstall and reinstall. I can't do either.
    Many thanks for your help.

    The dead end is the error message (1402) that Acrobat can't modify the key: UNKNOWN/Components/Lots of numbers. It lacks permission.  The process stops and rolls back all changes. However, this weird key can't be found using RegEdit.

  • Can't install or uninstall itunes itunes 64.msi error

    Can't install or uninstall itunes itunes 64.msi error - does anyone have a fix?
    The itunes64.msi cannot be found in the temp sub-folder it was originally installed in.
    I believe the System Mechanic cleaned out the temp files and now I can't install or uninstall itunes.
    I tried to manually recreate the folder that the itunes64 setup is looking for and manually copied the 11.0.1 version of all the .msi files included in the installation, but, the installation still cannot find the itunes64.msi.

    I was able to solve my problem by following all the directions at the following Apple site - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926?viewlocale=en_US
    I was not able to remove the iTunes program using Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel; however, that didn't seem to matter. I removed the directories and used the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. I reinstalled iTunes Ver 8.1.1.10 with no problems. I'm sticking with this version for the time being.

    why I can only install adobe photoshop elements 12 but not able to install adobe premiere elements 12 with the same serial number to my macbook?

    PSE and PRE have different serial numbers. If you bought both programs you should have two separate serial numbers.

  • Can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac from CD

    I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac I just purchased. The software is brand new, the CD appears to read fine. The instillation "on-screen" instructions are not popping up. I have had the software a minute, purchased it new but was waiting till I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

    How are you using a CD with a new imac? They haven't had disc drives in years.
    Try downloading from here and use the serial number from your boxed version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    However, there are a couple of other things to try. First of all, PSE 9 has both mac and windows discs. If the disc doesn't mount on the desktop, then you've got the wrong one. Go get the other one and when it appears on the desktop, double click it.  Then double click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double click Install/Setup (can't remember which it was for PSE 9, sorry). There is no automatic install for PSE for mac, since macs have no autoplay function for security reasons, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You just keep double clicking till it installs.

  • Can I install my Photoshop Elements CD on my new computer?  My old computer crashed

    My computer was hit my lightning and crashed.  Can I install my Photoshop Elements 8 on my new computer?  I have Windows 7 on the new computer and I saved the DVD with Serial number on it.

    Hello!
    Could you tell us if you are talking about Photoshop 4.0 that was released in 1996, or Photoshop CS4 (PS 11), or Photoshop elements 4?
    Older version might not work if your C: drive is bigger than 1TeraByte.

  • Can i install my photoshop elements 10 using my serial number

    can i install my photoshop elements 10 using my serial number if i dont have a dvd drive on my computer?

    It depends on which region you are in?  I am also assuming you are trying to install the trial version using your serial number?  Finally I would also assume that your computer meets the minimum system requirements?

  • How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

    My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

    Try downloading and installing the 9.0.3 updater from here:

  • Can't install non-Deactivated Elements

    I work for a nonprofit that recently purchased a license of Premiere Elements.  I installed it on my work laptop and my personal laptop since I work from home a lot.  Recently, we moved offices and got new laptops.  I uninstalled Premiere both from my old work laptop and my personal laptop WITHOUT deactivating them first.  Whoops.  Now I can't install a copy on my new work laptop.
    So the central issue is how do I install Premiere Pro on something when I previously uninstalled but didn't deactivate it? 

    People in this user to user forum won't be able to help with licensing issues... you need to call Adobe and have the deactivation done from their end

  • Help! Can't install or uninstall iTunes.

    I cannot open my iTunes and every time I try to install or uninstall the program I get this:
    Could not write value description to key \software\mozillaplugins\@apple.com/itunes,version=. Verify that you have sufficient acces to that ket, or contact your support personnel.
    Please help.
    TIA

    You can try downloading and installing the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove iTunes.
    It's available here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    The link to download the installer package is about one inch above the gray box that says contents of the readme file. Download & install the utility and open it by going to Start > All Programs > Windows Installer CleanUp. Click on iTunes and click Remove. You can also use this to remove QuickTime in the same way, and then go here to reinstall iTunes:

  • Adobe Product Problems. Can't Install, or Uninstall programs. Also programs installed on my computer are not showing up in CC

    I have tried many times but, I can not install any adobe products onto my computer (It does meet system requirements). It always is gets an "Installation failed" error at 42% I also can not uninstall adobe programs. I have Adobe after effects installed and I have tried to uninstall it. A window comes up saying "Uninstall Failed" and gives me some trouble shooting tips which I have tried many times. Another problem is when I open up creative cloud my installed programs do not show up. For example I have Adobe After Effects but, in creative cloud it is listed as uninstalled and has a button that says "Try" even though it is already installed onto my computer. I have problems with the CreativeCloudCleaner too. I have tried using it to uninstall programs but, when I choose the option to delete adobe CC products it only gives me the option to delete Creative Cloud and no CC programs. These are problems I have been trying to fix for days but, I have not yet found a solution anywhere.
