Do I uninstal older versions of Photoshop Elements before installing Version 12

Do I have to uninstal previous versions of Photoshop Elements before installing Photoshop Elements 12?

Hi S35 bonanza285,
Adobe recommends removing the older version of the software before installing the newer version.

  • Trial version of Photoshop Elements 9 installed but doesn't run.

    I recently installed Photoshop Elements 9 on computer running Windows 7 and it installed correctly.  When I try to run edit or organzer the flashing bar starts but neither program runs.  Adobe support wouldn't help since it was a trial version. Any suggestions?

    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    On Windows right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
    Select it and click OK
    Click next
    Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
    Then click finish
    You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
    You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.
     It often helps if you right click on a desktop icon and choose “Run As administrator”
     

  • Do I need to unistall Version 3.6.23 before installing version 7.01

    I want to update to v7.0.1 but v3.6.23 would not make it available.
    Have now downloaded v7.01 but I want to know if I need to unistall v3.6 before installing v7

    You can install Firefox 3.6.23 Portable Edition for use at that website, and keep Firefox 7.0.1 for use everywhere else. The Portable Edition won't affect the official version, like installing an older version will.

  • Trouble installing older version of Photoshop Elements on Windows 8.1

    I'm having trouble installing an old version of Photoshop Elements (I have no need to upgrade) on Windows 8.1 - it keeps saying I need Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, though I have IE 11. I've tried the regedit fix mentioned here: Elements needs version 4 or newer of Internet Explorer to install? but it doesn't seem to be working - the default was already C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE, and the Path was C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer; - I changed it to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer: but that made no difference. I can't uninstall IE 11 from Windows 8.1, or install an older version.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    I used an IEXPLORE.EXE from internet explorer 7 and set the registry path to that.
    Then provided your hard drive doesn't have more than 1 TB of free space, photoshop elements 1 should install and run on windows 8.1
    Don't forget to set the registry paths back to what they were originally.

  • Why did my install of an older version of Photoshop Elements fail?

    I tried to install a 2001 version of Photoshop Elements, but it failed to install stating that "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later is Required." I have Windows 7, so therefore I should have at least Internet Explorer 9. Also when I tried to install it on my MAC it also failed stating that "Install failed because Classic Mode is no longer supported." So why can't I install this program on my MAC or Windows 7?
    I just bought this off eBay hoping to score a deal on an older program to use and get familiar with before installing a newer version and finding out I didn't like it or it wouldn't meet my needs. Any help in this manner is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    First off, you must be referring to a very old version of Photoshop Elements, not even sure it is version 1. Learning that will not help you very much when you try to go for the latest version - it will be like starting again.
    The old version did not know anything of the later versions of Internet Explorer and the installer gets confused. You can trick it by doing some registry edits (see following document) but I strongly advise against it unless you are very competent with computers. Get things wrong and you could kill your system.
    Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
    In addition to the level of Internet Explorer, you will run into problems if you have large disk drives.
    I'm not a MAC expert but the older versions of Photoshop Elements were designed to run on PowerPC-based computers and will not run on systems later than MAC OS 10.6.x.
    If you are serious about getting to know Photoshop Elements, the best thing is to get the latest trial version. Download that and install it and you can try it for 30 days. If you decide you like it, then you could look out for bargains at your local store or online.

  • How do I download an older version of Photoshop Elements?

    I have uninstalled my purchased version of Photoshop Elements 11 due to issues I was having, now I need to reinstall it - where can I find the link for this?  I can only seem to find the link to instal Photoshop Elements 12.

  • Can files for older versions of Photoshop Elements be deleted

    I am running Windows 8.1 (64-bit Version). I recently purchased and successfully downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 13. Prior to installation, I de-installed Photoshop Elements 12. I had previously owned Version 10 and 11 which have been de-installed several years ago.
    I just noticed that the ProgramData/Adobe/Photoshop Elements folder on my Windows 8.1 system drive, there are at least 1 gigabyte of files still left under subdirectories for 10.0, 11.0, 12.0.
    Also, under the Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Elements 12 Organizer, there are over 700 megs of files still remaining. These files are very similar to what is stored in the Program Files/Adobe/Elements 13 Organizer folder that was created during the Photoshop Elements 13 install.
    Question – can any of these files associated with the earlier version of Photoshop Elements (12,11, and 10) be manually deleted as it seems like a waste of space for potentially files no longer used.

  • Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will download easily and run with mac 10.5.8 Snow Leopard?

    I posted a question which was: Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will work with Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Then this window popped up saying mark this discussion with as a question and this window.  I have no idea how this works. It already is a question and if I need to emphasize that, how does this window that looks like a Word editing window, help me do that?Downloading, Installing, Setting Up

    You asked the question in the title area instead of the area where the body of your posting is intended to be.  No fault of yours - they need to make the form clearer.
    Check the system requirements for the various versions of Photoshop Elements and see which suits your system.  Adobe only sells the most recent versions of their software, so if you need an older version you will need to find a vendor for it.
