Error message when installing Photoshop Elements 13 : Installer Failed to initialize

I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC with Windows 8.1. I can't run the Adobe Support Advisor because it is no longer available. Can a Adobe expert get in touch? Forums are sometimes not adequate to find solutions.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and delete/rename the OOBE folder from there.
Then install Adobe application manager from the below link:

  • "Failed to initialize" error message when installing Photoshop Elements 12

    Hi,
    I kepe getting an error message when trying to install Photoshop elements 12. I have re-downloaded the files multiple times from different places and none work so I know it isn't a corrupted file. Tried a system restart. Tried using support advisor but it found no issues.
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.9 on a 2012 Macbook Pro that meets system requirements.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I have gone through the install logs and the error I am getting is 'PIM - Error could not create PIM Common Folder Path'. I have gone to the PDApp folder and it does not have any permissions on it. I have gone to the folder PDApp and it doesn't have any permissions, I'm not sure what to do from here. The PDApp folder is a alias that leads to the Adobe Application Managers folder. Sorry for the font being bold, it wouldn't turn off after pasting the error message.

  • Error message when installing Premier Elements 10 on my PC

    I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10 bundle...and in trying to install, have successfully installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, but keep getting an error message when trying to install the Premiere Elements 10.  The Error Message reads:
    This installation package is not supported by this processor type.  Contact your product vendor.
    Now what???  I have no idea what to do from here.
    Please could you someone get back to me?  Thanks

    Hello
    Thanks for replying and helping me out here - I really appreciate it!! 
    ...however, this package came only with 2 discs (obviously along with the activiation numbers for both programs).
    Disc 1 says it is Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 & Adobe Premiere Elements 10 for Windows
    Disc 2 says it is Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 & Adobe Premiere Elements 10 for Mac OS. 
    My computer is running on Microsoft Windows XP, Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3.  Does that make sense (sorry, I'm not too computer literate!)
    And that's all that's come in the package!  Also, here is a photo of the package.  Does it look legit, or am I being / have been 'cheated'???
    I seriously appreciate all your help and look forward to hearing back...
    Regards
    Deanna

  • Why do I receive error messages when installing Adobe air installation packages?

    I have Adobe Air Applications installed on my Dell XPS laptop but when i try and add new applications I get an error messaage that the installation file is corrupt.
    I am not convinced that this is the case, it is happening too often. I think that Adobe Air is the problem but Adobe seem oblivious and not offering any support.

    Thanks. I tried it and got the same error message. To me it's obvious that Adobe upgrades and programs have serious bugs in their install programs. I find this incredible from a company that creates such sophisticated programs and they cannot create install programs that actually work!!

  • Error Message when using Photoshop Element 9 sending email

    I was using Photoshop Element 9 sending email on Windows Live Mail.
    It was working perfect.
    A week ago, my computer had the problem and need to format and reinstall everything again.
    After that, when I used Photoshop Element 9 to send email using Windows Live Mail 2012.
    It came up error message in below:
    "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message.
    Alternatively, you can use the Adobe E-mail Service via the Elements Organizer Preferences dialog."
    I don't want to use Adobe E-mail Service because it is very limited for email function such as attached another files or change email contents.
    Would you please give me some idea how to solve the problem ?
    Thanks,

  • Error message when installing Photoshop CS3?

    I downloaded Photoshop CS3 from the Adobe website. I am installing it on my iMac OS 10.8.5. The installation starts then a message comes on "Setup has encountered and error and cannot continue"
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello Jeff,
    What I had was the Original CS package,  but when I upgraded the OS, none of the apps work anymore. So, I uninstalled it. I have Photoshop CS3 on my office computer, which it still allows me more more installation.
    So I downloaded it, but when I click on Setup App to install, it starts and then the message appears.
    Thank you!

  • Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.
