Elements 10 Organizer is not installed [SOLUTION]

Hello,
after spending hours of investigation, here is my solution. I decided to write it down. Maybe it is of help for someone else.
Symptom:
Suddenly, when I wanted to use PSE10 and clicked the desktop icon, I got the error message that the EXE file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe"
is not there anymore. I have not figured out why it was gone though. Maybe some magic MSI rollback script stuff from another installation.
I tried a normal deinstallation/installation procedure.
After looking into "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\PSE10Setup.log", I found out that the system thinks that the organizer seems to be installed, but it was not.
The required file were not in place.
So I tried to force the manual installation of organizer MSI package.
msiexec /i "E:\Adobe Photoshop Elements 10\ElementsOrganizer\Elements 10 Organizer.msi" TRANSFORMS=1031.mst ELEMENTS_DE_DE=1 ORGANIZER_DE_DE=1 STARTWATCHSERVICE=1 SUPPRESSREBOOT=0 NOT_STANDALONE=1 /l*v "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OrganizerInstall.log"
This worked for me. All the required files are in place now as they should and PSE10 starts as usual again.
BTW:
The PSE10 Editor always worked without any problems. Only the organizer was gone. Installing PremiereElements10 also did not help, although it is also supposed to install the organizer.
This is my second big issue with the Adobe Elements Software Package. I have never experienced so much trouble with software installation as with this piece of software.
I suggest that the developers should test there software a lot more with respect to installation/reinstallation and uninstallation.
To the support team: please do not write answers like: please reinstall the software or the Windows OS or ... or..... or.....

Elements Organizer does not install when reinstalling PSE10

I have a problem that I cannot seem to resolve. Previously Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 had been running flawlessly on my computer and was easily opened by clicking the desktop icon which had a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe" target. After uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop Elements 10, when I click on the Desktop icon to start the application, I get a dialog box that says "The item 'Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly". If I right click the Photoshop Elements 10 desktop icon and check properties, the Target says "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe". When I open Explorer and navigate to where the target says the application file should be, the "Elements 10 Organizer" directory does not exist. The only directory that does exist is the "Photoshop Elements 10" directory and it contains the 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe'. Yes if I click on that file the Editor opens, however when I try to load the Organizer workspace once the editor is open, it does not load because the entire folder and application is missing. I even tried searching the entire C-Drive to find the Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe file but it was nowhere to be found.
To be specific, I had PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10 installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 computer. I decided to uninstall PSE8 & 9 because I had just purchased PSE12 and wanted to make room for the PSE12 installation. When I tried to first uninstall PSE8, the uninstaller stopped with the warning that PSE8 was installed in the same directory as PSE10. The uninstall then terminated when I clicked on OK. Next tried to uninstall PSE9 and received the same warning and uninstaller termination. The same thing happened when I tried to uninstall PSE10. Faced with the situation that all three products were installed in the same directory and would not uninstall individually, I found it necessary to uninstall all three applications manually according to the directions on the Adobe's knowledgebase.
To uninstall PSE8, PSE9, & PSE10, first thing I did was create a system restore point which is something I always do just in case something goes wrong. Then starting with PSE8, I first printed out the Photoshop Elements Help "Manually remove Photoshop Elements 8 | Windows that I found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/826/cpsid_82673.html. Subsequently I printed out the directions for each product, PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10, are all on the Adobe website. Next I followed the directions contained in each article except for running the product uninstaller as I mentioned above and removed all three applications then rebooted my machine.
Next I reinstalled PSE10 and tried to open it only to find that it did not fully install especially the Elements Organizer. As mentioned you can open the Editor by going directly to the executable file however you cannot access the Organizer because it did not install and cannot be found anywhere on the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PSE10 five time now each time using the product Uninstaller plus the "Manually remove PSE10" directions and I still cannot get the Elements Organizer to install.
My question is does Adobe have a utility that can be run after manually installing a specific product that would find registry entries that were not removed after completing the manual removal process? The problem I see is the manual removal process which shows possible registry entries to remove manually is built on the assumption that you were able to run the Uninstaller which is not the case with my problem.
Secondly does anyone have any suggestions on how to install both the PSE10 Organizer and Editor?

I believe I found a solution but I need help in changing some of the parameters to reflect for a United States program install.
If you go to "Elements 10 Organizer is not installed [SOLUTION]" at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4745941 you will note the Poster says it is possible to force the install of Elements Organizer 10 by using the command line:
msiexec /i "E:\Adobe Photoshop Elements 10\ElementsOrganizer\Elements 10 Organizer.msi" TRANSFORMS=1031.mst ELEMENTS_DE_DE=1 ORGANIZER_DE_DE=1 STARTWATCHSERVICE=1 SUPPRESSREBOOT=0 NOT_STANDALONE=1 /l*v "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OrganizerInstall.log".
I found that the above command line input does in fact start the setup for the PSE10 "Elements Organizer" Installer except it is in a language other than English.
Is there anyone familiar enough with coding and command line prompts to change whatever paramenters are necessary to have the installer run in English.
Hopefully there are some Adobe Staff monitoring this message that can answer the question for me.

Elements Organizer will not install correctly

I recently installed the latest AAM per Adobe's suggestion to solve nother problem of "installer failed to initialize". Now I can run the Elements setup.exe withough the failure. However, when I try to install Elements (either Photoshop or Premiere), all that installs is the editor part. The organizer does not install correctly. In other words, when I open the program and click on organizer, nothing happens. How do I solve this issue? Rather than spend a bunch of time on this, can I manage my video files through Lightroom's catalog?
I'd prefer to get the Elements program running properly as my first option.
Thanks,
Brian

Brianbhood I would also ask that you please limit yourself to one discussion. From your previous posts it is no longer clear what version of Elements you are referring too. In addition there is another thread where you mentioned you were facing difficulties with Photoshop CS6 and Premiere CS6.
In regards to troubleshooting Elements installation issues please see Troubleshoot installation | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-photoshop-elements- premiere.html.

Photoshop Elements Organizer Won't Install

I just purchased Photoshop Elements 10 and have installed it but the organizer isn't installed. I have tried installing from the DVD and also copied all install files to a directory and installed from there with the same result--no organizer!
I'm running Windows 7 on a new HP computer so that shouldn't be a problem. I registered the program.
The main reason I wanted this program was for the organizer and I'm very disappointed that it isn't there!
Has anyone else had this problem?
Pat

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem. The editor works fine, but when I click on the organizer, nothing happens and I can tell from the install files that the organizer did not install properly. So far the only response I've gotten is inquiry about my OS.
If you got it resolved, would you mind sharing the procedures?
Thanks,
Brian

Photoshop Elements 9 will not install.

I have installed Photoshop Elements 9 several times, and it does not complete installation. It loads about 80% of the files, then at the point of placing an desktop icon, the softwarw rollback. My operating system is Windows 7 64 Ultimate. My computer system includes AMD Phenom II X4 810, 8 GB RAM, GeForce NVIDIA 9600 GT (IRQ 18) and GeForce NVIDIA 8400 GS (IRQ 19). I tried to disconnect the second graphics card - no help. I have manually removed Photoshop Elements 9 from the registry and reinstalled - no help. The error status is 1603. When installing, I closed all Adobe software, anti-virus software, and Windows Firewall. I contacted Adobe customer service several times - no help.

Hello Mylenium, I tried everything in the Error 1603 | Install site that you sent me. And, still the installation of the PhotoShop Elements 9 rollback and will not install. What is next? Thank you, Paul

Premier elements 10 will not install!!

Premier elements 10 will not install on my Mac. Installing from disk. I get a bunch of words starting with Warning:DW031: To me it is all just junk and unhelpful. I followed the contact customer support link and it leads me to the most useless web site I have ever encountered. Why is this so frustrating? How do I get past this? It has already cost me hours of frustration. I have a screen shot of the installation status error page but nowhere to send it. BTW, photoshop elements loaded just fine on this computer. HELP!!

Googling DW031 shows many similar and/or helpful items. This one includes a link to Adobe's Official Response. See if that solves it for you.

Purchased & downloaded PS Elements 13 but not installed yet as concerned if my hardware is adequate?

Purchased & downloaded PS Elements 13 but not installed yet as concerned if my hardware is adequate? Acer Aspire One AMD C-60 APU with Radeon HD graphics 1.0 Ghz/4GB RAM/500GB T45H3P135, Windows 7, 64-bit (BTW the WIN 64-bit used the Akamai down loader with a -32 in the suffix-could that cause any problem?) I would like to confirm if my machine is compatible (will it run but slowly?) before attempting final install? or what if I install & find it's not compatible? Thanks for helping this novice!

Hi,
Can you please share the logs?
You can use the Adobe Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]

Photoshop Elements 12 does not install on Win 8.1 64bit

Hi!
My system: Windows 8.1 64 bit with all patches, 32GB Ram and engough HD space.
I downloaded PSE 12 32bit and Premiere Elements 12 64bit. Both won't install.
Problems:
Premiere: Installation fails when shared components should be installed. I spent more than 2hrs trying every tip I found in forums. Same result.
Photoshop: It always tries to deinstall Elements 12 (which is definetely not installed) and fails becaus of "Specified path is empty". It was never fully installed. I cleaned all folders manually, I deleted registry entries according forum advise. I rebooted. I put the installation files onto C:. Before I installed, I deinstalled Elements 9. I also cleaned those files. An no, I did not deinstall my Antivirus. I cannot deactivate it and deinstalling is a very very bad option.
What I already tried:
10 reboots
Deinstall old version
Clean Temp folder
Clean Registry
Delete all folders and hopefull all registry "Elements" entries
Archive OOBE Folder
Moved installation Files to C:
Start Installation as Administrator
Monitored if any other Adobe program is running - killed all
Any help is much apreshiated. I am desperate and about to return the products.
Michael
Added solution attempts.

Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
After setting up the setting up the system.
I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
-I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
-enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

People names in elements organizer are not saved.

After i name people in elements organizer 10 why are the names not saved? I have to name some of them again and again each time I reopen the program. I'm using the same catalog each time. Also, some names, even though they are in my people list, have to be entered (typed in) each time as Elements does not prompt

rezad,
it was a long time ago i had that problem and locale handling is like a black box to me.
It's easy to reverse if it doesn't help though, why don't you try it ?
I have tried it.
adding other encoding before the famous en-US,UTF-8 one gives warning for default lang and falling back.
I see these error when running apps from command line.
adding other encodings after that encoding doesn't show this warning but i have a suspicion that it mean that other encoding are suppressed,
i have to try it with a file with a wired but known encoding and then adding that encoding to config and testing again.
my problem is how do i find the filename encoding?(not find content encoding)
this is the file in question. can somebody tell me what is the filename encoding?
https://www.sendspace.com/file/fwmxpc
EDIT: my findings on this matter.
even adding all the langs to /etc/locale.gen and then using locale-gen command doesnt fix this. cause this are different issues.
this problem as a whole doesn't have a solution, cause linux unlike windows doesn't have a default inbuilt filename encoding and it all depends on your environment.
linux just treat the filename in the encoding you tell it. so it cant detect anything cause there is nothing to detect.
from its perspective filename are just binary data ready to be interpreted as wished by the user.
widows on the other hand uses UTF-16.
plz if anybody have another contradicting point ,then reply but plz dont say I have to use correct encoding. the only way to fix it is using convmv util and that requires finding the correct original encoding.
thanks for all the replys.

Photoshop Elements 11 will not install. It says "Error 2343. Specified Path is Empty." Can U Help?

I purchased & downloaded Photoshop Elements 11. I installed it. Informed me some parts were missing, so I needed to uninstall it & reinstall it. I went to Programs & Features in Windows 7, & did just that. Then it informs me that it could not uninstall it properly. To try again. The program is missing now from Programs & Features. Can't find it anywhere where I can uninstall it. So, I went to Adobe to get it to uninstall. I keep getting this error; "Error 234. Specified Path is Empty" I have done everything! Cannot get it to install or uninstall. The Organizer is opening, but the Editor will not. I can't get anything to print. I have a deadline tomorrow and I cannot get any pictures to print. What am I gonna do? Can anyone please help me?

If you haven't committed to PSE12, yet, then you should be able to download PSE/PRE11 from this website. Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set the Adobe authorization cookie, because the downloads actually come from Adobe:

Elements Organizer (v12) not displaying AVCHD video after import

I installed Premiere Elements 12 on my Windows 8 (x64) computer. After I import a MTS (AVCHD) video from either my camera and/or my hard disk,the audio plays but no video is displayed. The MTS file (video + audio) work fine in every other program on my computer, including the Premiere Elements video editor. The only place it doesn't work is in Elements Organizer. I can even preview the video in the "Get Videos and Pictures from Files and Folders" import window from Organizer.
After importing the MTS file into the video editor, I exported it to AVCHD and tried importing the Premiere created AVCHD file in to Organizer but no luck.
Seems like there's some kind of plug-in issue, but I can't find any info on that. The codec must be fine, because the MTS file play everywhere else.
Appreciate any help/insight.

Thank you so much! Although it's not exporting quite as clear as before, it's much, MUCH better now that I've corrected the timeline dominance - I'd say 95% better; and it will be re-compressed by my clients for web streaming so it doesn't need to be perfect - but the initial quality was garbage.
I suspect when I exported my T2i footage as a ProRes file, than imported into After Effects, then back into FCP something happened along the way that messed up the quality slightly. Although the only difference in my method between FCP5 and 7 was converting to ProRes; which I only did for editing purposes as the native T2i footage needs to be rendered... which ended up being redundant as all my After Effects work needed to be rendered anyway. Ho hum.
Do you think the ProRes conversion could account for the quality loss? It wasn't just the footage that was grainy/fuzzy, it was also the After Effects graphic work, which is why I didn't think the converstion could be the culprit. Hm. I'll have to look into this more!
Thanks again - and so sorry for my delayed reply, I went on vacation shortly after I posted that message and only just got back to this project now

PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 6 'HELP' NOT INSTALLED

I have PSE 6 installed from the Adobe disk on a Mac which uses OS10.5.8.
When I try to access the 'PSE 6 HELP' component from the toolbar I see the following - "Could not find the Adobe Help Application.You may need to re-install the application and the Help component." Why is Help not installed from the installation disk?
Is re-installation is the only solution? And if so, do I have to un-install first, or will re-installation print over the existing version? If it requires un-install, how do I do this?
Thanks in advance

Don't worry. Most products now have on-line help.

Premiere Elements 10 will not install PC

I am trying to install this but when I click the install a windows pops up stating windows installer Windows ® Installer. V 5.0.7600.16385 etc.. then nothing happens and program does not install.

Are you installing onto a 32-bit, or 64-bit version of Windows?
Are you installing from physical media, or from a download?
If media, did you get Photoshop Elements bundled with PrE?
If media, which disc are you installing from?
For general Adobe program installations, see this ARTICLE.
Adobe also has an area for installation issues. I would also post there, and furnish the answers to the above questions in that post - HERE.
Good luck,
Hunt
