Error when attempt to open Photoshop in Windows Vista, "Some of the application components are missi

Using Windows Vista-32. Installed CS4 suite & used Photoshop and other components but randomly one day it stopped working. Clicked to open and received error, "Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, Please reinstall the application."
I uninstalled & reinstalled entire Suite and just Photoshop several times with no success. When I reinstall, I receive error message,
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack
Error:
Error 2.
LangPack (English) for DeviceCentral
Error:
Error2.
Solutions I have used include:
- replacing System Color Profile library by creating a different folder on desktop...
- replacing Backup Key for Adobe CS4
- Administrators & System are listed & permissions for security are set to Full Control

Phone support won't help w/o paying a fee???

You've done something to your system, or it's possibly gotten a malware infection.
You can't even reinstall Photoshop? Have you tried completely removing it, including running the Creative Suite Removal script?
How recently did it work? Have you tried System Restore?

I receive an error message that some of the application components are missing when trying to open Photoshop CC 64-bit

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and I can see photoshop CC 64 bit. But when I'm launching it, it throws an error "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application". I've reinstalled twice but getting the same error. Whereas the 32 bit application works fine. Any help?

Branching this to a new discussion.
Govinda_s13 are you still receiving the error messages referenced above?

Open in Photoshop CS5 errors with "Some of the application Components are Missing...

After doing a migration from one mac to another mac with the Migration Assistant, when I try to edit a lightroom file with the Open In CS5 I get a dialog that comes up "Some of the application Components are Missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application.
Well I have reinstalled photoshop, actually uninstalled it first, the reinstalled twice...once with "keep preferences" and once without. I have also run the Adobe Upgrader and everything is up to date. Lightroom is up to date.
Any ideas??

Since you can open a photo in CS5 when selecting <Open anyway>, I would also think that this is a problem of Lr.
When you select <Render using Lightroom> Lr creates the PSD (or TIFF) and sends it to CS5.
So it seems that this part of Lr that is creating a PSD (or TIFF) from your Raw image is missing / broken.
Most probably something got left behind when you used the Migration Assistant.
I would suggest this: Download from Adobe's website the trial version of Lr 4.3. The trial version is a full version with all features enabled, but it runs only for 30 days.
Each time you open the trial version you get the option <I want to buy>. Select this option and enter your serial number. This will unlock the trial version for unlimited use.
Maybe it would be good to un-install your current Lr before re-installing the downloaded file to ensure that you do a "clean" re-installation.

Just updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite and my Photoshop will no longer open. Pop up message informing, Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application. I have the pay monthly package and don't know where to start.

Do as it says: Reinstall the program. Run the cleaner tool and let CC app do the magic.

Error "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinsta

I downloaded Photoshop Extended about a week ago... the second time I opened it, an error message came up saying "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." So I uninstalled it, then re-intalled it. I was able to open it successfully after that - and I used it once. I have just gone to open it again and it is reading the same error. This is very frustrating - why is it doing this? I don't want to have to unintall and reinstall everytime I want to use it. Please help

I want to bump this topic, again. So far the clues I've found are that there may be problems when the program was installed in one user account, and used in a different one. Perhaps there is a language setting, too. Can anyone give tips on this error for Mac, specifically Lion OS?

Elements 11, getting this when trying to access editor, "Some of the application components are missing from application directory. Please reinstall."

Reinstall software. Continue to get the same message. Plus, A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue. I have been using this program for about 11 months without any problems. This just started.

Which Photoshop version are you using? If it's CS3 - CS6 then you can download it from Adobe and install it properly. No need to rebuy it, just put in your serial number:

If it's CC, then you just get it from the main site.

If you can, I would put all the files back where you moved them from, and uninstall the program properly. Otherwise you'll have file remnants laying around. Also, you're unclear if you just moved it to another location on the same computer, or a new computer. If it's a new computer then you need to deactivate the old computer as you only have two seats to use:

Own CS5, will not open, message says, "Some of the application components core missing from the Application Directory. Please reinstall the application". What do I do?

What now? Can't get a phone number to contact Adobe???????????????

Hey Cal do u have a windows box or apple? Do you have the compressed files from the original download or a backup or image of your computer? Last question for now-please describe the events that led up to the error message in your original question. Like " my girlfriend was mad at me and while I was cleaning up some photos in CS5 she cut the electric to my desktop!"
there is a chance if its a windows box and its running the OS win7, win 8, win8.1 and the systems restore setting turned on that if you can remember the last time(date) that CS5 worked: restore it(the computer) to that date or before that date. Also is there are some other options if its a mac but i need to know the operating system version and other info as to what other software is on your machine plus similar info like sw such as mackeeper, boot camp. parallels that another adobe community member(Bo LeBeau ) alluded to.
Provide me more info and i can/will help you! maybe even a way to minimize your cost of paying for adobe support if that what you wanna do.
Another vector that may be worth the effort is: find out generally or exactly what components are missing/corrupted from the application core sometimes there can be confusion(zip software posing as malware) or use in the mac and windows world of wrong procedures and use of decompression of compressed( ie winzip vs winrar) files that lead to CS5 working and all of a sudden not working. Last even installers can get flaky over time. So i know you wanna handle this so u can use CS5; but I need some more info. Have a good one! later and greater!

When I convert a Word doc to PDF, some of the page numbers are missing.

I'm using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro 7.0. When I print out the Word doc all the page numbers are there, but when I concert to PDF most of them are missing. Any suggestions?

How are you converting? What are the job settings for the PDF conversion? What if you print to the Adobe PDF printer?
