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?

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.

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! - IrritatingCabsupportinfo 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. -

I have to reinstall Dreamweaver CS6 after having issues after a hard drive failure. I'm getting an 'Installer failed to initialize' message. I'm on Mac OS 10.10.2. Any suggestions?Dre
Hello,
Where did you get the installer file from?
You can try the link below and download and install Dreamweaver CS6.
During the installation process you would need to select the option to insert Serial number to authenticate.

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?

Re: Photoshop CS6 installer fails to initialize
I am having a similar issue and it's driving me bananas. I have Photoshop CS6 on a disc (old school, I know) and a serial number, but when I try to install in on my brand new MacBook Pro, nothing happens!!
This is the third time I try and I always get to the exact same spot. I'll show you with a picture.
This is where I get stuck. I click on Install and nothing happens. Can anybody help me?Hi nath68855047,
Looking at the screenshot it seems you are installing Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 not Adobe Photoshop CS6. In case you want to install Adobe Photoshop CS6, download it from the link below.

Photoshop CS6 installer will not initialize - no log files generated
Hi,
I am trying to reinstall Photoshop CS6 on a new computer I purchased. When I run the installer, the progress bar gets to the end and sits there for several minutes. Then the Adobe Installer windows just closes and no other installation windows open up. I have checked the /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers directory for a log file to see what is happening. But no log file is being generated.
Prior to installation, I ran the Adobe uninstaller as well as ZapIt to remove any old or corrupted CS 6 files.
I am running a 2014 macbook pro, Maverick OS 10.9.5. The machine has plenty of disk space and ram.
I am at my wit's end. Can anybody give me any guidance?Photonut65 if the installer is failing to initialize then you will want to review the PDApp.log located in your temp directory. You can find more details at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.
