CS6 Installation Failed

I receive an "Installation Failed ~ Your installation encountered errors..." message when attempting to install CS6 on Mac OS 10.6.8; all of the s/w and h/w requirements have been met. Any help?

Vikrant,
Thanks for your fast reply. Actually, there is no error code give. Instead, there are some troubleshooting steps given below:
"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 ~
3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications. "
This is all the only info supplied.

Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6 installer failed to initialize on Mac Book Air

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6 for at least a month now.
I have downloaded the .dmg file at the Adobe Website and it starts to initializing the installer, then a error show up:
"The installer could not initialize. Download the Adobe Support Advisor."
There is no Adobe Support Advisor when I clicked on the link. "The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" (http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/)
I've tried this many times, but every time being a failure.

Photoshop CS6 Installer failed to initialise?

I have just bought a student copy of Photoshop CS6 Extended, and whenever I try to install it I get the message - ' Installer failed to initialise'.
I am running OSX Mountain Lion, on a 2012 Macbook Air. I have tried installing on a new user, as well as using the Adobe Support Advisor (No Problems detected) - I have also tried using the 'Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' to remove any old things. It still doesn't work. I don't have any other Adobe Programs currently installed.
I couldn't find any helpful advice in the other forum posts so I made my own.

I have the same issue. Also running mountain lion.
this is the PDApp.log
i have tried changing permissions as seen from another post but nothing seems to be working.

Photoshop CS6 installation failing with Creative Cloud Subscription

I have a Creative Cloud subscription and I am having trouble installing Photoshop CS6 with the Adobe Application Manager. The application will download but when installing it gives me an Installation Failed error with the message "The download appears corrupted. Press Cancel, wait a few minutes and try again (-60)"
I am using a Macbook Pro 17" i7 8GB with Mac OSX 10.7.3.
When I look at the DLM_Native.log file using the Console I get a whole bunch of errors like the following.
[ERROR] | 7B2C1C2F-AC72-4B17-9D58-C9BC80BC9A07 | | | | | | Checksum validation failed for segment 510
[WARN] | 7B2C1C2F-AC72-4B17-9D58-C9BC80BC9A07 | | | | | | Some Error has come during download operation with Error type - -60, and Error Code - 417
I have about 60GB of free hard drive space, so I know I am not running out of space for installation.
I do not see an alternative way of downloading other than the Adobe Application Manager. If I go to my orders page on Adobe.com and click download for Photoshop CS6 it just opens the Application Manager and begins downloading from there.
I have downloaded and installed Illustrator and Flash Professional using the Application Manager without issue.

Thanks for the quick response Jeff. I wonder if there's something else going on. All the other apps (Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver et al) downloaded and installed to the same location (Applications folder) no problem using the application manager. When I tried to use the download manager to download Photoshop separately, the download destination was set to the desktop, while logged in with administrator privileges. The .dmg downloaded without any apparent problems but generated a checksum error warning when I tried to expand it. I tried several times, had antivirus and Little Snitch turned off, tried again after restarting etc. to no avail.
Interestingly, my colleague experienced the exact same problems on his (Mac) system, which is running same OS.
I got around all this by downloading Photoshop from the CS6 direct download page using the link you provided, for which many thanks.

I you are on Windows Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe on a 32 bit machine. C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe on a 64 bit machine.
Find a folder named caps and rename it to caps.old.
I you are on Windows Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/
Find a folder named caps and rename it to caps.old.
Once you rename the caps folder try installing the software.
Hope it works.

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?

I contacted Adobe Live help without any success.
They said to try to reinstall with a new user on my computer (which I did) and as I expected it didn't work.
I also red on the forum about maybe trying to download the Trials and that my Adobe ID would update those to full version but the installs also failed there.
I'm running OSX 10.7.3.
I used to have CS5 installed on my computer.
Now only Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 got installed.
Anyone have an idea what's happenning?
Thanks for any tip!

Hi batdelfuego,
Try the below solution and check if you are able to install the software without the error.
Navigate to: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/PDFL/10.9/Fonts/
To find Library open Finder click on Go > Go to Folder and type in /Library and click on OK.
Delete the Font by the name AdobeFanHeitiStd-Bold.otf
Next open Font Book.
To open Fonts Book do a search in Spot Light for Fonts Book
Check if AdobeFanHeitiStd-Bold.otf is present, if it is present delete it from Fonts Book too.
Once you do that try installing the software.
Hope it works.
Sameer.

Photoshop CS6 installer fails to initialize

After downloading the Mac version of Photoshop CS6 using Download Assistant, I attempted to install it as a trial. When I launch the Photoshop CS6 install app, it comes back with "We've encountered the following issues -- installer failed to initialize." It suggested Adobe Support Advisor be downloaded to detect the problem. I downloaded and ran that. It comes back with "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance." So here I am...

At first download the Adobe applciation manager manually from the locations:
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4774&fileID=4438
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4773&fileID=4437
Later If you are still facing issue. Rename Media_db, pdb and OOBE folder.
The path for the above files will be:
1: OOBE
Windows: C>Program files or Program files(x86)>Common files>Adobe>OOBE and rename the OOBE folder to like (OOBEold).
Mac OS X : Macintosh HD>Library>Applciation support>Adobe>OOBE .
Note: The library will be hidden in Mac OS X version 10.7 and later you can access the hidden library ie the root library by In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library and click Go to access the hidden library.
2:Location of Media_db, pdb files.
Windows: C>Program files or Program files(x86)>Common files>Adobe>Caps
Mac OS X : Macintosh HD>Library>Applciation support>Adobe>Caps.
After renaming OOBE, Media_db, pdb files run the Application manager which was downloaded and if the issue still persists then:
Create a new Administartor account and the restart the computer and log in back to the created new admin account , log in to CCm account and then try it will work.
If you have queries regarding Creative Cloud installation and setup, you can contact support using the below link.

Photoshop CS6 Installation Failed

About a year ago I purchased an Education version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, installed it and it worked fine. However about 6 months ago my laptop crashed and I, of course lost everything. I tried re-installing CS6 and received the following error message:
Installation Failed. Adobe Genuine Software Verification failure. The Product you are trying to install is not an Adobe Genuine Software and appears to be counterfeit. Please report piracy or contact customer support for assistance.
I have not encountered this error message before and don't understand why I am receiving it now. As I said it worked fine before with no problems installing at all. I paid for the copy, I have the product code and verification numbers which the installation accepts. I am rather frustrated at this point as I've tried many times to install. Is there something I am supposed to do for it to re-install or is there a problem with the software itself and if so how can I fix it?

HI Lopin\'Girl25 ,
Welcome to Adobe community .
I would request you to kindly check the Date & Time of your system and see if it is the correct one or not . If it is correct , please try and download the software from www.prodesigntools.com and see if that works fine for you .
Please do let us know if the above mentioned steps helped you or not .
Cheers,

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.

Did you discover any additional errors in your installation log? The DW063 error when seen in it's entirety should point you to the directory that the installer is having problems installing too.

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.

CS6 installer failed to initialize

Hi, I have OX 10.8.2 and can't get CS6 master collection to install, keeps on giving the message that installer failed to initialize. Have tried all the solutions you suggested but still no success. I don't know how to fix it.

Since this appears to be your first posting, there is no record here of "all the solutions you suggested". Can you provide details of what the error message(s) you get are saying, and identify the solutions you mention?
