CS6 Installation Failed due to missing files.

I m having problem with the Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer now.
It keeps saying missing files. I was installing my CS6 from DVD yesterday on my new Macbook Air. then the whole laptop hanged for a good 3 hours. So i did a cold boot. After restarted my mac, i launched the Installer in the disc and it prompted the Missing file error message.
Installation Failed. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file.
More troubleshooting tips:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software.
3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications.
I was not able to get pass this stage after numerous retry. Apparently the installer has already installed Bridge and some other components successfully. I tried to access the installer from the Utilities, but i met with the same error.
Would you be able to advise me how to proceed from here? Thank you very much.

Hi kglad,
thanks for the reply. i did try to uninstall by using Utilities > Adobe Installers > Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer, when i click the icon, i get "Uninstall Failed" error, it says:
Your uninstallation encountered errors.
Troubleshooting tips:
1. Restart your computer
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software
3. Uninstall again.
I have done all the above at least 3-4 times and also downloaded the cleaner tool, and ran it, but not items was listed for cleaning.
Any idea how i should proceed?
Thank you.

Installer failed to initialize, missing file?

I tried to download Adobe creative suite 6 and everytime I do this pops up. I have already tried restarting it a few times and quitting applications and everything but it's not working. My computer is a brand new Macbook pro that is only about a week old. So I'm not sure why this is happening.

[SOLVED] sup Installation Fails Due to Missing ruby-locale Dependency

I'm trying to install sup from the AUR but makepkg -s fails because its missing ruby-locale, which is one of its dependencies (I get "error: target not found: ruby-locale"). This appears to be because ruby-locale isn't in the AUR or the official repository. ruby-gettext also isn't in either repository, so I'm guessing that will be a problem as well.
I tried installing both of these with gem, and they appeared to install successfully but makepkg still fails with the same error message. Do I need to point pacman to the ruby-locale and ruby-gettext installations somehow?
Last edited by seabeast (2012-05-07 04:30:38)

makepkg uses pacman to check dependencies, and install them if they are available in the repos. pacman only knows about packages that it manages (obviously). gem-installed stuff will not be visible to pacman, so you will need to edit the PKGBUILD accordingly.
More generally, sup seems to be a dead project - last release nearly a year and a half ago, AUR package orphaned, various not-working comments in the AUR. This may or may not matter to you.
And more generally still - assuming you're an Arch newbie, based on the location of this thread and your post count, you should get into the habit of reading the wiki before asking here.

Workbook: Document store operation failed due to missing authorization

Hello authorizer gurus,
I have got 3.5.
I have transported.
I try to open a workbook.
I am getting a Error Message:
Document store operation failed due to missing authorization
Newly saved Queries as workbook can be openend.
What's wrong ?
Thank You
Martin Sautter

Martin,
To get a detailed message about the error (including which authorization objects the user needs to have to be able to perform the action that caused the error) use ST22. It sounds like they are missing the Open authorization for workbooks.

Silent installation fails registering gwab1.ocx file on W7

Silent installation is failing for GroupWise Windows Client 8.0.3 HP2 and HP3 on Windows 7 Sp1.
Problem is very similiar to KB7005755
Support | Silent installation fails registering gwab1.ocx file on Windows 7.
C++ 10 is already installed
I also installed C++ 2005 (version that comes with GroupWise Client)
Install occuring in the following order
WSE3.msi
MSXML.MSI
groupwise.msi
msiexec /i groupwise.msi transform=groupwiseNONotify.mst /passive /L*V c:\gw.log
or via ZCM 11.2 Install MSI
/i "groupwise.msi" /qb /passive
Experiencing same problem whether I run with batch file or ZCM 11.2
User is in the Administer Group. UAC is off.
Transform created using GroupWise 8 Tuner.
Install rolls back after putting GroupWise icon on desktop.
Below is an extraction from the verbose msi log:

I tried the following:
-Rename WMS.exe to WMS.exe.old to make sure it will not get installed.
-Create an application for CDO and put that application as a pre requisite for Groupwise.
In my task sequence, before groupwise is being installed, the CDO component will get installed first.
In my latest test, the installation of groupwise failed with the same error message then before.
For the installation step, I am using this command line: "WIN32\setup.exe" /s /V"/qn /le C:\Groupwise.log"
The task sequence will download the files into is cache then start the install appending the path to the exe file to the command line. All the files are present in the cache folder.
The VCRedist 2005 is installed prior to the installation by another software but I did made some test that let Groupwise installed is own VCRedist. Still an error message.
The exact error message is: Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\Groupwise\gwab1.ocx failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895. Contact your support personnel.
I am deploying Groupwise during a task sequence on Windows 7 SP1 with IE9 and .Net 4.0 installed with some update. At the moment groupwise is installed as the second software.
The version being installed is gw8.0.3HP3_client_win_multi.
When installing the previous version, using the same exact task sequence, there is no error and the installation is done.
I did validate that the Windows NT Messaging was not installed.
If I can provide any othe information please let me know.

Have tried to open my itunes and the message given states that itunes can not be opened due to missing files. Please reinstall itunes. Repeated attempts to reinstall give the same result...any ideas?

Have tried to open my existing itunes but it states that it can not be opened due to missing files...please reinstall itunes. Repeated attempts to reinstall are to no avail....any ideas?

I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

Installation failing due to invalid packages

During installation of Oracle 10G designer the repository installation fails due to invalid packages. When I examine the packages they are failing to compile based on dependencies on dbms_lock. I am running against a fresh installation of 11g on the database. I verified that the package exists and a public synonym has been created but I cannot see the package from any other user aside from sys. (system cannot see the package).
Is there anyway I can open up sys.dbms_lock to allow it to be used in compiling these objects?

How did you create the repository?
Did you follow the steps of the installation guide?
In this guide you find the folloiwing statements:
grant execute on dbms_rls to repos_owner;
grant execute on dbms_lock to repos_owner;
grant execute on dbms_pipe to repos_owner;
grant create table to repos_owner;
grant create view to repos_owner;
grant create procedure to repos_owner;
grant create synonym to repos_owner;
grant create sequence to repos_owner;
grant select on sys.v_$nls_parameters to repos_owner with grant option;
grant select on sys.v_$parameter to repos_owner;
grant select on dba_rollback_segs to repos_owner;
grant select on dba_segments to repos_owner;
grant create any synonym to repos_owner;
grant drop any synonym to repos_owner;
In the statement you will see that the dbms_lock package is granted to the repos_owner. (repos_owner is the username of the repository owner, if you installed under a different user use that username)

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;

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.

Installer won't initialize, "missing file"?

Hey all, I'm pounding my head against the wall here trying to install CS6 Design Standard on my Mac (OSX 10.7.3). I first tried to install last night, and everything seemed to be going just fine. The installer opened, I entered my serial number and selected the products I wanted to install. The problem started when my damned computer locked up in the middle of the install. I tried to restart the install multiple times last night, but I think I had to many other things going on for the system to handle and it kept locking up.
I went to bed last night without having time to troubleshoot. This morning, I try again and now the installer gives me the "installer failed to initialize. this could be due to a missing file." error. Never seen that before. I immediately thought there could be something wrong with my disc, from all the locking up last night, so I did a system-wide virus scan, verified and repaired the permissions, verified and repaired the disc using the Startup Disc Utility. I came back and the installer still gives me the same error. I deleted the entire 4GB package I downloaded from Amazon, emptied my trash bin and downloaded a "fresh" copy from Amazon. Same problem.
I have no idea what to do now. Please help.
Regards,
James

Any reason you're downloading from Amazon instead of from the Adobe website?
The "failed to initialize" error usually indicates that the extraction process after the download did not complete correctly. In most cases, you can re-extract to resolve the issue, but sometimes you need to download again.
