Elements 8 won't complete install?

I am rtying to install Elements 8 and it get to about 95% finished and just stops installing, when I choose quit it tells me something to do with a font has caused it to quit installing. I have clicked more information and it doesn't tell me which font is causing the problem. I clicked get support and downloaded the Adobe Suite Advisor and it didn't help either. I also ran CS4Cleanup and did everything it said to do, but even after cleanup and retsart it will not completely install.
Is there something wrong with the download file? What can I do to fix this?

Glad that you are able to fix this issue by yourself.
If you may, please post the link of the other thread which helped in resolving this issue on this thread as well so any users in future which stumble upon your thread will get re-directed at the correct place.

  • Itunes won't complete installing?

    My itunes won't complete the install process? please help

    I tried turning off my anti-virus to no avail. I really have no idea what are they are talking about with "Tools-Downloads" The only place you can do anything is under Help-Check for Updates, and I assumed that was the same thing.
    I also tried to email Apple but they need the serial number of my Itunes. How do you find that? I didn't even know Itunes had a serial number.

  • Itunes 6.0.2 won't completely install

    Tried to install v 6.0.2 a couple of days ago but got following message at end:
    "...install was interrupted before it could be completely installed. System has not been modified. Click finish and try to install again." Tried that...same thing..
    I've read some of the posts here and have verified I have all antivirus / spyware turned off. I ran ewido and deleted what it found (cookies). Next ran adaware - deleted what it found (cookies and virus). Then ran AVG free (freeware to detect virus') and deleted what it found (several trojan horse virus in different directories although none seemingly related to itunes or quicktime). Thought I was making progress until I went back to download & reinstall standalone (quicktime) and got same "interrupted before install complete" message.
    I have verified I no longer have itunes listed as one of my programs. I do see qttask.exe as one of my processes running in task manager. Not sure if it should be there or not.
    Through all of this I no longer have songs on my ipod although I noticed they are in their normal directory on the PC.
    Don't know what to do next. I'm going on a trip in 5 days and would like to at least get my songs locaded back on my ipod - even if it means I have to wait till later to fix itunes. Not sure if this is possible however.
    Thx in advance for any suggestions.

    hi y'all!
    lefty, even though you're not getting a 1607 (or a quit with no error message at the "publishing product information" stage), did you try applying the relevant techniques from the document Katrina linked you to earlier in the thread?
    iTunes for Windows installation quits while publishing product information
    ... might be worth a try. we managed to fix one of your error messages using that doc on a 6.0.3.5 install earlier this evening:

  • Tiger disc won't eject and won't completely install

    Well, I've made some progress. In case you didn't see my earlier post, my hard drive crashed. I bought a new one from iFixit.com with more memory. The installation went smoothly as far as I can tell. I have an aluminum 17 in Powerbook G4 with 1.0 mghz. I am trying to install Tiger and then restore my data from my Maxtor external hard drive where I have the data backed up. I read somewhere to check the memory. I have two and found I hadn't seated them well enough. Now the Tiger disc will open and start installing, but when it comes to the screen where it says to select a destination volume, I am given no choices and I can't go forward. I still need to know if I can completely install Tiger from the Tiger disc or do I need to install the original Software install and restore disc first. Then, how can I get the Tiger disc out. I have tried the eject button, starting it up with the mouse key down, starting it up with the option key down, and tweezers. Nothing works to eject the disc. Also now I can't physically open the top from the body of the computer with the battery in place. It opens fine with the battery out.I would appreciate some help. Thank you in advance.
    Carl Sutherland

    BDAqua,
    I don't know anything about those things. The instructions on installing the new hard drive were very detailed and didn't mention any of those terms. I still think I may need to install that original disc I got with my computer but I can't because the Tiger disc is stuck.
    Thanks

  • While using FF Browser, a window appeared, telling me I had an outdated version and should upgrade and it won't complete install nor allow me to uninstall to re

    First of all, I have Windows XP/HE/SP3 and my main browser is IE8, tho i also have Google and did have, FF V#21. And while using the FF browser, was alerted that my current version was outdated, etc, even tho I just installed V#21 only 1 week ago, but I took FF's word for it and clicked (x'd) to install the upgrade. The application (AP) used to install was called "Optimum Installer" and had the word "Firefox" in smaller print in the upper left hand corner. This seemed diff from the AP i had used to install just 1 week prior, but since i was using IE8 to install FFV#21 originally, I figured the FF browser used this "Optimum" AP, so I proceeded. The small window then said, "you have chosen to open this file" and yet there was no option to "open" only to "save" or cancel. So i x'd on "save" and my Norton file checker popped up to tell me this file is "safe." But afterwards no install window appeared, so i tried to DL the file again and still no Install window after a total of 8 attempts. I finally found the setup file in "my documents" and opened it and x'd to install. It seemed to work ok, tho again, I was asked alot of questions about making thus and such my default browser, or search engine, or home page, etc, and even some other, but i declined them all, i think, but not sure about one possible miscue. Anyways, the AP told me I'd successfully installed this newer version of FF. So of course i wanted to open it and see how it would work, and i went to my task bar/notification tray to X on the globe icon and instead it showed a "setup" icon. I put my mouse under it and it said "Mozilla Firefox" so i went ahead and x'd on it expecting FF to open. Instead, a small warning appeared telling me i had to reboot for the install..to be completed, so i did, but no change. Tried atleast half a dozen times and nothing, no new or any, version of FF working on my pc now. I even tried to look at support, but no answers, then tried to uninstall and it won't even let me do that, it keeps saying that "your computer must first be restarted to complete a previous upgrade"; yet that already hasn't been working. Also, i went from a V#21 to a V#13.0.1 with 77MB+ of space, which is way more than FF#21. Now I do believe this version is corrupt and really don't want it, but can't get rid of it. I even tried to reinstall V21 (also from IE8, since I don't even have FF browser now) and it goes to a point, but then also tells me I can't get this V21 til I complete an install/upgrade of another version. So basically, i have what i believe is a corrupt/malicious piece of software on my pc, calling itself Mozilla V#13.0.1 - which I can't get rid of, and also can't reinstall the version I had, least i finish installing the one i have but don't think I now want. Keep in mind also, I can't do any of the suggestions from within the FF browser that have been suggested, because I don't have it any more, only IE8 and Google....Any suggestions?

    Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
    So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

  • OS X Mavericks won't complete install on external drive

    Hi.  I have the new Mac Pro (late 2013) with all software updated.  I have a 2TB external ATA drive attached with USB 3.0.
    I wanted to install OS X on the external drive and had to use the Command R method.  The computer restarted and started the install process.  I used disk utility to erace the external drive.  I did exactly what Apple instructed.  I created a new single partition and set everything as instructed by Apple. 
    I then ran the install and it took 30+ minutes to install OS X.  It said the computer would re-start at the end of the download, which it did.  BUT, it didn't restart on the new drive.  It's as if it couldn't then find the external drive and it rebooted on my normal internal drive.  I did EVERYTHING all over again and got the same result.
    There are now files on my external drive in a folder called "OS X Install Data" but I don't see the OS X installer file.  I think the computer was supposed to detect the external and complete the install but it didn't.
    What is wrong and what do I do to avoid this problem or fix it?  Can I continue the process with the files on the external drive?
    PS - I first tried to install the OS X Mavericks installer file from the App Store but it told me that I could not install Mavericks on my computer.  I believe the version on the new Mac Pros is differnent and I read you have to get it from the Internet using the Command R method. 
    I've used the Command R method on my old Mac Pro and it worked fine.  Something is wrong here.
    Thank you in advance!

    BTW, clarification:  The hard drive is in a USB 3.0 enclosure made by DAT Optic.  It works great as an external drive but can't figure out why I can't get the OS installed on it.
    Given that the files were downloaded to the external drive, I then tried this approach:
    http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/apple-in-the-enterprise/how-to-create-a-bootabl e-usb-to-install-os-x-mavericks/
    It didn't work.  WhenI booted I got the null sign error.  Even though all the files are on the drive just as described in this above link, it still doesn't work.  And the files on the drive are not the typcial folders that indicate a full OS was installed. There are many files that look like they are used to create an OS. 
    How the heck can I get OS X Mavericks to install completely on a hard drive that is in a USB enclosure?

  • MAC OSX Snow Leopard 10.6 disk won't complete install process

    So, I received my dvd disk to install snow leopard 10.6 on my Macbook Air. I put it in, and double clicked on the Install OS X like the booklet instructed me to.
    This is where my problem starts.
    The disk seems to get "stuck", meaning it won't install past a certain point.
    When I customized it to install QuickTime, extra fonts and language translation on top of 10.6, it would get stuck at 49 minutes and not move at all.
    When I changed it to install the extra fonts and language translation on top of the 10.6 software, it got stuck at 51 minutes and would not move.
    Is this normal, or is there something that's not allowing it to install?

    Hello Shelby,
    Thank you so much for the details regarding the issue you are experiencing with the Snow Leopard installation.  I recommend following these steps if you are having trouble installing Snow Leopard:
    The installation wasn’t successful
    If you were unable to install Mac OS X, try the following:
    Disconnect any external devices you don’t need during installation.
    Remove any cards from manufacturers other than Apple.
    Try installing Mac OS X again.
    If you were unable to install Mac OS X again, choose Utilities > Disk Utility. Select the disk on which you want to install, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk. After repairing any problems, quit Disk Utility and then click Continue to try installing again.
    If you’re still unable to install Mac OS X, try erasing the disk before installing Mac OS X. Before you erase your disk, try copying your files to an external disk. When you’re ready to erase and reinstall Mac OS X, follow the instructions in the “Restoring your computer to factory settings” section of this document.
    I found this on page 7 of the Snow Leopard Installation Instructions:
    Snow Leopard Installation Instructions
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Snow_Leopard_Installation_Instructions.pdf
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Updating apps won't complete install

    I am trying to update apps, and it is 'installing' and has been for 2 days without completing any updates.  I am wifi connected

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • Flash Player won't complete install

    Hi-
    Hopefully someone can help. I'm using a PC, using Safari 33.0.3 (update available, I know), running Windows 7.
    Right now, version 15.0.0.152 Flash Player is installed. I'm able to download the install file, open it, and the security window comes up
    and I hit 'run'. Then the user account window opens and asks if I want to make changes and I hit yes.
    Then the Install Flash Player window comes up with just a gray background and nothing happens. Tried multiple times, closed Firefox,
    followed all the troubleshoots I could find. I even uninstalled Flash Player to see if I could load from scratch and the same install window
    comes up and nothing happens.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    In Firefox, if you choose Help > Restart with Add-Ons Disabled, does the problem go away?
    Also, have you tried rebooting your computer?

  • 10.4.9 Won't complete install

    Hello,
    Hope someone can help. I downloaded 10.4.9(3 times) and each time it quits installing at 4% and says "there were errors installing the software. Please quit and try again later". I have a 2 gig G5 w/ 10.4.8, 4.5 gig memory and an XT800 graphics card, 2 internal drives.
    Please help.

    Hello Mark.
    You should fix any filesystem issues before trying anything else. Under no circumstances should you install anything, much less a system update, if there something amiss in the filesystem.
    If Disk Utility reports problems it cannot fix, even when starting up from a different disk, you’ll have to either erase the disk and restore from a backup or try a more powerful disk utility, such as DiskWarrior, TechTool Pro, or Drive Genius.
    The “Disk Utility cannot repair the disk” section of the following article has some additional information you may also find useful:

  • Photoshop Elements 10 won't complete installation and won't uninstall.

    Photoshop Elements 10 won't complete the installation process and it won't uninstall using the uninstall utility (I get an error message).  So I tried deleting all files manually.  However, when I re-insert Disc #1 it only offers to uninstall Elements 10 - which it won't do (same error message).  So I can't go forward (install) or backward (uninstall).  My computer is a Dell Studio 1555 with 4 GB of RAM, 64-bit OS, running on Vista Home Premium.  I have 180 GB free of 283 GB on the C drive.

  • I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

    I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
    This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
    The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
    Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
    Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
    The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
    Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?
