I was similarly unable to install the Beta.
I have tried the previously entered fixes found on this forum, none worked.
Any clues? I was not able to find any relevent links with google.

Photoshop CS6 upgrade reinstall fail

On a Windows Vista service pack 2 machine.
I successfully installed Photoshop CS6 upgrade on my computer and it was up and running. Two days later I was hit with the FBI moeypack virus and had to do a system restore and then ran Mallwarebytes to get rid of it. The system restore point was just before I installed CS6 and after the restore, CS6 was gone. I tried to reinstall CS6 and now the installer fails. I ran Adobe Support Advisor and it shows no problems. I ran Adobe creative suite cleaner tool chosing CS6 and it didn't help. Photoshop CS5 is still on my computer and it still runs OK. I am at a loss as to what to try next.

Photoshop CS6 Trial "Installer Failed To Initialize" on Vista. Please help I have read other posts!

I've read through countless posts on different sites and still can't find a fix to this. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what advice actually applies to me. After extracting all the files and I run the setup I get about 75% through before I get the Installer failed to initialize message. After looking at the PDapp data It seems clear what the problem is, but I have no idea how to fix it. The fatal/error messages are as follows:
[FATAL] Setup - Adobe Application Manager executable does not exist at the location: C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe
[FATAL] Setup - Unable to launch PDApp. File missing
[ERROR] Setup - Error in deleting folder C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe. Error Code:145
Please, any help would be great.

first thing to do is to re-download ps cs6 in case your dl was corrupted.
if you have no other cs6 programs installed, run the cleaner before trying to re-install: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

That LOOKS like you are trying to install to the D drive instead of the default C drive... true?
What happens if you install to the default C drive?
What happens if you right click the installer and select "Run as Administrator" from the option list?

Photoshop CS6 trial - installer failed to initialize

Photoshop CS6 upgrade - installation question

So, 2 months ago I got a new notebook. I installed CS4 and made sure I got everything working perfectly. Then, this month I installed the CS6 trial and boy it has a crapload of permission-related temp file directory blunders. To narrow it down to just CS6, I uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe related software on my machine except for CS4. After 10-12 hours of configuration trial and error with the temp-file blunder, I have CS6 working perfectly as well. So now I have a trial version of CS6 with a leftover CS4 key on the computer.
Now for my question: Will the trial accept a CS6 upgrade key or will I have to reinstall using the CS6 upgrade disc? I'd really prefer not to uninstall CS6 again.

Yes, you can just input your serial number in the trial version.

SL upgrade installation failed and now macbook won't boot

Hi all,
I did some searching in the forums, but I couldn't find this answer -- I'm sorry if it has already been asked/answered.
I have a 2.5 yr old intel macbook that was running leopard, and I bought the SL upgrade.
My mac has been hovering around 0-10 gigs of free space for the past 6 months or more. It tends to stay very full since I have a lot of photos and music. When my HD reaches it capacity, I usually connect up to my timemachine (500gb) and dump off 10-30 gigs of pictures, then repeat the process.
So, I had around 4 GB free when I tried to install SL, it said it wasn't enough so I deleted some movies/downloaded content quickly, restarted, then tried again and with 7-10gb free (I don't remember exactly) it let me begin the install and choose my Mac HD to install it to.
I came back and it said there was an error and it needed to restart and try again.
After restarting, the mac can no longer find the boot disk, and I put the CD back in and did disk diagnostic. The diag said it needed to try to repair. I tried to repair and it said, this in unrepairable. You need to try to save off as much data as you can, clean/clear the disk and reinstall the operating system.
If I try to restart the system and let it load normally, it stays on the grey Apple loading screen with the spinning circle. After 30-60 seconds it just turns off because it is failing to mount or boot the disk (I'm assuming).
Does this seem strange? My computer is basically saying the disk is done and you need to reformat, but I don't feel like it's really corrupted. When running the diag test, the app unmounts the disk to test and then can never re-mount until I restart, so that's also weird.
I have not backed up my computer in 40-60 days so I would really be taking a step back if I just wiped it right now then tried to get some data back from my time machine.
Is there a way that I get access the disk somehow to move data to my time machine, or USB, or something, before I wipe it out? Also, can the SL disk wipe and reinstall the OS or do I need the OSX Tiger/leopard installation disks?
Thank you very much for any advice, sorry again if this is a repeat question.

This is VERY bad. you should keep at least 10% (better 15%) of drive space free at all times to avoid potentially serious problems resulting from disk fragmentation. they can lead to ALL kinds of issues including catastrophic directory damage which you likely got.
It tends to stay very full since I have a lot of photos and music. When my HD reaches it capacity, I usually connect up to my timemachine (500gb) and dump off 10-30 gigs of pictures, then repeat the process.
this is a VERY bad idea too. Time Machine is a backup tool, not an archiving one. using it as an archiving tool as you did can and will lead to data loss. TM constantly thins its backups. it keeps hourly backups for 24 hours, daily backups for 30 days and weekly backups till the TM drive is full. the backups are thinned without warning. and when the drive gets full it starts deleting old backups to make room for new ones. it's supposed to warn you about it once if you have that option checked in system preferences. but this warning is only given once and sometimes not at all.
So, I had around 4 GB free when I tried to install SL, it said it wasn't enough so I deleted some movies/downloaded content quickly, restarted, then tried again and with 7-10gb free (I don't remember exactly) it let me begin the install and choose my Mac HD to install it to.

no, it doesn't.
My computer is basically saying the disk is done and you need to reformat, but I don't feel like it's really corrupted.
oh yes, it is. the only wonder is that this didn't happen sooner given that you were keeping the drive as full as you did.
When running the diag test, the app unmounts the disk to test and then can never re-mount until I restart, so that's also weird.
I have not backed up my computer in 40-60 days so I would really be taking a step back if I just wiped it right now then tried to get some data back from my time machine.

you don't need leopard or tiger disks. you can do a full system restore from TM using the snow leopard disk. you can try to get some data off the drive first. do you have access to another mac? does your macbook has a firewire port? if yes you can boot it in target mode, connect it to another drive by a firewire cable and copy what you need to a different drive from there. otherwise you'd have to either do it from terminal while booted from the SL DVD or install SL on an external drive , boot from that and do it from there. also, you can try using Disk Warrior or a similar tool on your main drive. It may work where Disk Utility failed.
Thank you very much for any advice, sorry again if this is a repeat question.

Photoshop Cs6 (TRIAL) - Installation failed - Encountered Errors.

Hi, Sorry I don't know if this question has been asked yet, so I'll have to ask.
Everytime I have tried to install the Photoshop CS6 trial, it says that my installation has failed and that it has encountered errors. Below is what my error report says.
Exit Code: 15 -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ERROR: Media DB Error : 12
So, I'm not understanding what the error is.
I know I meet the system requirements because I'm running:
Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)
4 GB RAM
585 GBs of Hard Drive.
It says 86x bit? I think?
I'm pretty sure that I have those met.
Other than that, I'm just not understanding why this isn't working.
Adobe Download Assist is installed just fine.
Hope someone can help!

Did you have the Photoshop Beta installed? If yes, then you need to uninstall that one before you can install the trial.
Does your account have sufficient privileges? If not, you might need to log in as Admin.
Run the install again.
If the error recurs, then run CS Cleaner Tool and remove all products.
Reinstalling after that, should resolve the problem. Get the Cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Let us know how it goes.

FlashPro & Photoshop CS6 (cc) installs fail

Help?
Working through the Adobe Application Manager, the apps download completely, start to install & then encounter a fatal error. The Application Manager tells me "error (34)".
The error summary page tells me -> FATAL: Payload '{xxxx-not-sure-what-this-random-string-is-but-obfusicating-it-just-in-case-xxxx} Camera Profiles Installer_7.1_AdobeCameraRawProfile7.0All 6.2.5.0' information not found in Media_db.
Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Muse, Edge, etc install fine... haven't tried Illustrator or others.
[update] tried to install Illustrator. Fails in the same manner as the Flash & Photoshop installs.
I did have the Photoshop CS6 public beta & an (expired) FlashPro 5.5 trial installed, but both were uninstalled (using adobe uninstallers) prior to my attempt at a full CS6 install.
Any thoughts? Already tried running the CS cleaner utility.
Installation environment:
OSX 10.7.4
late 2010 MBP, 4GB mem, 60GB storage available.

Currently running Application Manager 6.2.38.0 (was the one that Adobe gave me when I signed up for CS6 cloud)
As for downloading trials & then licensing them after-the-fact... That was what I just finished trying, and it seemed to have worked. FlashPro is installed (& automatically linked its license to my cloud subscription). I guess I can install the other problem apps this way as well... but it just seems odd to have to do it this way when Adobe has actually created an Application Manager that should do this all for me.
Oh well. Problem resolved. (although in more of a workaround manner)
Thanks for you response.

Logic Studio 9 upgrade installation fails

I installed the upgrade fine on my Mac Pro. Tried to install on MacBook Pro Unibody, after it asked for the second disk, it asked for the Studio Install disk again, then said it couldn't find it.
Upgraded MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard, and the disk needed repairing, which I did. Tried to install Logic again, asked for the serial number, got almost through the first disk, then: The installer encountered an error that caused the Installation to fail. Rebooted, tried again. This time, no serial number was asked for, but it failed again near the end of writing the files.
Tried repairing permissions (no repairs needed), threw away Logic 7, renamed Logic Pro 8 to Logic Pro and Mainstage 8 to Mainstage, tossed the prefs, tossed the XSKey receipt. Rebooted, tried again: failed again. Somewhere there is a corrupted file, methinks, and it has the serial number embedded in it, since I am no longer asked for the Logic Pro 9 SN.
Any ideas?

Try making an image of the disk if the MacPro will read it. Some drives are less fussy than others. Then transfer the image via your network.
OR
Take the disk to an Apple Store (with your receipt) They'll order you a new one, but meantime they can make you an image too, and burn it. It happened to me recently with an iWork disk.

Cs6 trial "installer failed to initialize", already used cc cleaner

Hello,
I am trying to download and install a trial version of cs6 on my macbook retina which is running mavericks. I had actually already installed a cs6 trial but After effects did not work because i am running mavericks, so i needed to update to 11.0.3. For some reason, i forget why now, I thought i needed to reinstall the entire cs6 master suite so i deinstalled and attempted to reinstall, but it didn't work.
I got this message:
I read somewhere to download and run cc cleaner to erase any leftover data from the previous install, which I did, but I am still getting the same message.
I have also redownloaded the installer and am still getting the same message.
Does this have to do with the previous install?
Should I manually go through all my files and toss out everything reading adobe and try again?
Does anyone know any additional steps?
Thank You

would it be possible to take my laptop in to the apple store and have them wipe and reinstall mavericks, clearing all evidence/ artifacts of previous installs, but be able to keep certain programs by backing them up? basically I have a student trial version of cinema 4d which I would not want to lose if I did this, do you think I could safely back it up and transfer it back onto the machine after it has been wiped?

Cs6 upgrade Installation

CS6 update installiert. Fehlermeldung: Installation nicht vollständig. Programm suchte alte externe Festpatte, die jetzt lediglich als Speicher alter Dateien vom vorigen Computer dient. Nach click auf "Wiederholen" wurde nochmals Eingabe Seriennummer gefordert, diese wurde dann als "ungültig bezeichnet. Nach Anschließen der alten Festplatte gleiches Ergebnins. Dann schon teilinstalliertes CS6 deinstalliert, versuchte Neuinstallation scheiterte wieder mit Seriennummer ungültig.

Support anrufen bei Seriennummernproblemen. Ansonsten das Creative Suite Cleaner Tool drüber laufen lassen, nochmal probieren.

Serial numbers for original product and upgrade. CS5.5 serial number is not accepted by CS6 upgrade installer.

I had CS5.5. I purchased an upgrade to CS6 but due to machine limitations never successfully installed it. My machine has recently been reformatted, so of course CS5.5 is gone. I tried to install CS6 and it likes my serial number, but says I need an upgradable product and asks for a serial number for my upgradeable product. When I enter my Cs5.5 serial number, I'm told it's not a qualifying product. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem and previously I have had to contact support with the challenge code and such. Here is the information on my software.
cs5.5 master collection is windows
cs6 master collection is windows.
Was there a reason I cannot find the chat option anymore?
thank you in advance.

Upgrade installation failed

I just received the upgrade CD, and when I try to install it says that my computer doesn't have OS 10.4 or higher. But it does in fact have 10.4.11. I tried reinstalling the original CD-ROM that came with the computer; same failure.
Any ideas?

Brilliant! For the record, 5 minutes wasn't enough; 30 minutes did the trick.
But then I got the curse of the rotating gear: I let it run for 2 hours, no joy. So I searched these forums and the best advice I found was (1) do a drive integrity check and/or repair (didn't solve the problem) and (2) re-install and archive (that worked).
I had thought there might be interference between US and UK OS (when I got this new MacBook, the Apple Store in London transferred the OS and all files from my old iBook) but AppleCare had earlier said that was wildly improbable. Or else the fact that I'd done a home replacement of the factory HD with a 250 GB drive. But it wasn't that either. Perhaps just a stray electron.
