Can't install photoshop elements 12 since it can't start windows installer

Hi,
I have got a new PC and now try installing my Photoshop Elements 12. The installation program tries to start Windows installer:
Sorry the message is in Swedish. In English it would probably be "It was impossible to access the service Windows Installer. This can happen if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact the company's support for further help.
I tried searching for downloads of Windows Installer, but there's no download version for Windows 7.
Is there anybody else who faced such problem? How have you solved it?
TIA

  • Can't install photoshop elements 9

    Hi
    Since updating to windows 8 I have had loads of problems with Flash player and can't install photoshop elements 9
    I have tried following the steps to uninstall flash but it didn't work.
    It says my flash is in chrome and I suspect I need the version for windows 8. However I just can't download it because it thinks I already have it.
    please help as I can't download any photos and my memory cards are all full!
    The error message I get when I try to install photoshop is
    "error 1327.Invalid Drive:N:\"

    Hm, this looks perfectly correct!  And I don't think the subst command is any different on Windows 8...
    Can you try the following (delete drive N: first if it already exists)
    subst N: /d
    subst N: C:\Windows
    If that still does not work, does Windows 8 Explorer have a Map Network Drive tool?

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no  longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.

  • How can I installed Photoshop elements in windows eight ?

    When I try to install Photoshop elements in a new computer with windows 8, I get an error message saying I need explore four or better.  I have explored 10 installed.

    I bought this program about eight years ago adobe photoshop elements is the only thing it says on the disk, I have lost the packaging and other information.  This program has worked great for me all these years without any difficulties on my old windows XP.  My old computer and gave out trash the motherboard.  Now I have windows8 and when I tried to install Photoshop on new computer it accepts the program until the end, when I get the message adobe Photoshop elements requires windows explorer 4 or better to install.  This computer came with explore 10.
    I would like to keep this program because it's always works great for me, and I do really do not want a buy a new one.  So he can really help me how would really appreciate it.  Thank you Ray

  • I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

    I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this.  You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts.  Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

  • Can't install Photoshop Elements 11 licensed version because of trial version

    I can't install Photoshop Elements 11 licensed version because of trial version that is still on my computer and is not being completely uninstalled.  The intended folder to install has some files remaining from the trial version, and this prevents the licensed version from installing.  The intended folder from teh installer is Program Files (x86)/Adobe, but that has the trial version still there, which will not completely uninstall. 

    Hi Steve,
    Are you getting error message while installation.

  • How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on a new computer with Windows 8?

    How can I install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new computer with Windows 8?

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Can't install photoshop elements 11 on my Mac. Help!!!

    Can't install photoshop elements 11 on my Mac. I installed, moved a file (whoops). It stopped working. So I uninstalled it, then tried to reinstall but it wouldn't do it. Is it now locked or something? Can't find any way to contact Adobe for help (!!!!) so would be so so grateful for some advice.

    Hi Jeff,
    Great to hear from you! I don't have those answers but I can try
    again to reinstall and then let you know. Unfortunately I'm not around
    that computer at the moment. If it suits I hope I could send you an
    email in the next couple of weeks with that information and if you still
    have time you could let me know what you think?
    Many thanks for your time,
    Chloe

    Look under "Older versions".
    I guess it's not on your packaging because the software was sold before Vista existed.
