"Extendscript.dll was not found" at startup

Question

Just bought and installed Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12 on my PC running Vista 64 bit. Now everytime I boot up my PC I get an error box titled "Elementsautoanalyzer.exe - Unable to Locate Component" and a message that says ExtendScript.dll was not found.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop but it didn't work. I ran CCLEANER but that didn't help. This error never came up before I installed Elements 12. I did have Elements 11 installed which I uninstalled.
Please advise.

P.S. I did update Elements to 12.1

Answer 1

I am also getting this error message when I boot-up Windows. I started seeing this error after I installed the PSE 12.1 update. I did not see this error while using PSE 12 without the 12.1 update.
I launched Organizer. I do not see an option "File->Load plugins"
This is the sequence of events:
Turn on computer - Windows boots
Windows Desktop appears
Dialog box appears
Click OK
Error message appears
Click on "View problem details"
