Failed install of PSE 10 - Shared Technologies failed to install

I have a legal copy of PSE 10 that I am trying to re-install on Win7. It fails and rolls back with the error that "Shared Technologies" failed to install.
I have tried several of the options in these forums. I need a solution please.

When I first tried to install, I was using my disks. I have since downloaded the software from Adobe (in case it was different) and that is what I have been using since I first posed my question.
By "clean slate", I mean, can you tell me how to clean up whatever temporary files/registry/other entries that are causing the install to fail?
I just tried downloading and running the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool, and just tried the installer again with the same "fail/rollback" problem.

PSE10 Shared Technologies Failed To Install

I recently purchased a combination Photoshop Elements 10 / Photoshop Premiere 10. I installed Premiere just fine, but I cannot install Elements. Everytime I attempt an installation it will eventually "roll back" the installation because it says the "Shared Technologies" failed to install. I have tried every solution I could find in the forums and online. Nothing is working. Do I need to return this and get my money back? Or is there a solution.
Thanks,
Blair

Hello Blair,
A rollback is a generic failure of the installation to complete, the program is uninstalled to protect the ingerity of the system. There are a number of possible causes for a rollback. Check out this document for steps to follow: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89403.html
This document doesn't cover all of the steps for fixing rollbacks, just the most common. If you don't get this resolved with the documented steps, we can get into the more complex steps next.

Premiere Elements 11 "installing Shared Technologies" error during install

How do I fix the "The installation process has encountered an error whil installing Shared Technologies. Please restart your system and try again." error while installing Premiere Elements 11? Photoshop Elements 11 installed fine, but I keep receiving this error while trying to install Premier Elements 11.
I have already tried:
Install from CD
Install from C: drive root
Install from Adobe website trial version
Install from CD, after clean boot
In each case it installs at the same place with the same error.
From searching these forums and doing a web search it seems like a common problem with no clear solution.

I do not know if what I am about to report will help or confuse the Premiere Elements users further on this Shared Technology error encountered during Premiere Elements installation, but here is hoping that something in the following experience might be of help to someone....
I entered your thread with the Shared Technology error (targeting Elements Organizer/Data 7) when trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 on a new Windows 8 64 bit computer. Unlike the others I had no problems installing Premiere Elements 11 and Photoshop Elements 11 from the Adobe installation disc a week earlier on this brand new Windows 8 64 bit computer. Short of re-formatting the hard drive, I did everything plus with no luck in getting versions 10 installed on this Windows 8 64 bit computer. So, I decided to focus on working with the already installed version 11 programs.
I headed for Premiere Elements 11 to create a DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc and to my horror found that the program's burn dialog had no burner(s) in the burner location (either the build in one or an external burner (USB). But, Premiere Elements 11 burn to folder did work. On the other hand, I found that Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer File Menu feature to burn (datadisc) to CD or DVD did recognize these burners and that burn to feature worked. I went through the typical drill for those in this type of situation and nothing remedied the problem. So, I decided to go for the deactivate/uninstall/reinstall route. Well, now Premiere Elements 11 reinstallation ran into the same fate as Premiere Elements 10, that is, it ran into the Shared Technologies error related to installation of the Elements Organizer and Premiere Elements 11 would not install after going through everything decribed in this thread, excluding re-formatting the hard drive.
1. Deactivated/uninstalled Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11.
2. Apply the cclearer: cleaner and registry cleaner. And, then went into the Registry and deleted all related to Photoshop Elements 10/Premiere Elements 10 as well as Photoshop Elements 11/Premiere Elements 11.
3. Disabled firewall, antivirus, spyware...
4. Tried to reinstall Premiere Elements 11, using the installation files (setup.exe in 64 bit folder) copied to hard drive. No go. Same Shared Technology error.
5. Started deleting programs that I had installed after the initial successful installs of Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 (these programs included iTunes, VLC player, and ImgBurn). Still no go for the Premiee Elements 11 install, and same Shared Technologies error.
FINALLY, Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 got successfully installed on this Windows 8 64 bit computer according to the following scenario (iTunes, VLC player, and ImgBurn still removed from system...firewall, antivirus, spyware protection re-enabled)
1. Attached a USB burner to computer via one of its USB 3.0 ports.
2. Inserted the Adobe installation disc into the burner tray of this burner in order to install the program(s) via the installation disc.
3. Selected install for Photoshop Elements 11. It went to completion without problem.
4. Selected install for Premiere Elements 11. It went to completion without problem. And, now the burn dialog/burner location did recognize the computer's built in burner and my USB external burner.
None of the above may have had anything to do with what finally triggerd the version 11 installation processes to go to completion. But, I add this to the mix of how Photoshop Elements 11/Premiere Elements 11 finally got installed in Windows 8 for the user.
And, I would offer this suggestion to those who have already installed Premiere Elements 11 on their Windows 8 64 bit. As soon as possible make sure you have burners listed in the burner location of the program's burn dialog.

Shared Technologies preventing full install Why?

Have tried to install Photoshop Elements 11 but keeps stopping at point where everything is almost installed and then message prompt that Shared Technologies not connected. Everything then starts to roll back. What the heck can I do?

My operating system is Windows 7. I have never logged on to an Adobe Forum before and did not realise their was a choice. I had followed on-screen instructions to create an A.S.A. report but it advised " Inspection report could not find any issue" I have Photoshop 5 already installed but do not understand why my new Photoshop 11 is being prevented from fully loading. Any advice will be gratefully received.

PSE 12 Does not complete install due to shared technologies install failed.

Hello,
I have been reading and searching on this topic for several hours now. I have tried most strategies to address this issue to no avail. Here is what I have tried:
Renamed the OOBE file.
Moved the install folder to the root directory.
Installed the Adobe program manager.
Used selective startup to eliminate extraneous running programs.
Uninstalled all Adobe programs.
Ran the install as an administrator.
Disabled antivirus
Attempted to review install logs. There was no insightful data there.
I have run out of ideas to get this program to work.
I bought this as the Photoshop/Premier 12 pack. I am using a Pentium I7 machine with 8gig Ram with Windows 7 64 bit as the OS.
Thanks!

Shared Technologies failed to install

I'm installing PSE 10 and it seems to be hanging after installing the Organizer. The status says "rolling back the installation of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10". The buttons are grayed out. This is my 2nd time attempting to install. The first time I happened to double click on the status window and then a message came up about failing to install shared technologies.
Well... it just stopped and now I have a message that says the following:
InstallShield Wizard Completed
The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements
10 could be completely installed.
Below mentioned application has failed to install:
Shared Technologies
Before opening my Mozzila Firefox to write this, all other apps were closed.
Thanks.

Problem installing Adobe Photoshop Elements10--"Shared Technologies" fails to install.

I have had a problem trying to install a purchased disc set of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. The "Shared Technologies" has failed to install so the installation is incomplete. Tried online chat, which was helpful, but failed to solve the problem before we were cutoff. Need help. Thanks.

Sorry for the trouble, 907Faribanks.
There was an issue with some of the Shared Technologies, so you'll need to update the installer. The instructions for doing so are here: http://adobe.ly/KB92579
Let us know if we can help further.

What a victory: failed installs due to "shared technology" errors returns endless threads via Google

I purchased PSE 10 (download) and lit up an install. It failed. I searched Google and oddly, the moment I hit the terms "photoshop elements 10 install fail" I got 40-50 results for "shared technology" failures. You guys are failure stars!
By the way, I cannot thank you enough for wasting my day like this. Back in the old days one had to visit microsoft.com to waste an entire ******** day trying to get their poorly engineered product installed, after it's failed endlessly to do as expected. Bill would be proud, if he weren't busy out there earning billions of dollars by giving away millions...which is nicer than what I have to say about you right now. Who needs time with their kids? Install PSE!!! It's a great time soak!
So, with that, I beg of you to please start sending me the usual asinine, nonworking fixes-in-a-box to get this product installed on my machine, even though we both know it won't work. Meanwhile, I have purchased downloaded, installed, and started using the Corel's latest version of PSP, which nearly FLEW into my hard drive and immediately worked right out of the box. Boy, they suck, huh? No. They don't. You do.
I've followed the hilariously funny and equally useless advice on your help forums (my favorite: " If you are using a downloaded installer, or running the installation from the hard drive, the Shared Technologies can fail because of the installation path. Copy the installation files to a folder to the root of the drive." Really? So you're saying "to install this stupid product, first you must fix our stupid mistake." Love you. Truly, I do.) and nothing has worked. I assume you will end up pointing at Microsoft and calling them bad, since every other app on my computer works without this moronic, yet remarkably popular, failure.
And even if we get this (endlessly) failed implementation to work - emphasis on IF - I will probably de-install it and demand a refund, depending on whether PSP has their product up to par, which is far more likely than Adobe having a working fix.
Now, I will say for the record that I have been harsh, and snide, and nasty. I am tired, and frustrated, and it's been four hours, and I have had enough. Having said that, deal with it. I am your customer (for the moment). Why do I need to ask you to make your product work? Isn't that the point? Is it? Helloooo?

It has occurred to me that Adobe's support people may be cowards. Then again, I am being a jerk, and it's probable they may have read my comments and said "screw this guy." I might say that. Then again, if I worked for a world-class company like Adobe I might step up and defend my product.
Then again, I might not, because they fell off the tracks some time ago and failed to stay in sync with the technologies they need to work with (read: Microsoft) to the degree they have Google reflecting:
a.) Adobe's level of failure in compatibility given the immediate and numerous responses to the simple keywords "elements fail" returning an astonishing number of responses (mine at the top lately) and...
b.) Adobe's own technical staff offering roughly a dozen differing, non-working fixes to the issue and...
c.) Adobe's studied and intentional avoidance of my emails, this thread, and hilariously worthless chat support.
It is very likely the source of the issue is an administrator profile glitch on the MS side, or perhaps an MSI issue, but good luck getting that clarified from Adobe.
They!
Don't!!
Know!!!
And they don't care. All I can say about that is I am glad I only dropped sixty-odd bucks on this product rather than seven-odd hundred for CS6. Maybe I'd get support if I had, but these snotty threads would be YouTubed, Reddited, and published in the local paper.
Next: there has been a breakthrough! An amazing breakthrough!
Among the many useless and stupid bits of advice Adobe's staff throw around on the support site, there is a great recommendation to try to load the product in safe mode. Last night I booted into safe mode and tried to run the installer, which of course immediately popped a dialog box stating it couldn't run in safe mode, so there's Adobe's great advice for you. While I was laughing and taking screen shots for posterity I glanced at my desktop, and there it was: the Photoshop Elements 10 icon. What are you doing there? I double clicked, and viola! It was loaded all along! Opened right up with that blue screen with a thousand names of the dev team.
Wait. What? I thought it rolled back? It SAID it rolled back the install. No? That 5 minutes it spends “rolling back” it just pretends to roll back, deletes the icon, leaving my computer polluted with a product I already got a refund on from Amazon? Really?
Anyway I rebooted back into my normal state and lo and behold, the PSE 10 icon is still there on my desktop. It did not install from safe mode. It had been installed from the beginning, and for whatever reason booting into safe mode and rebooting back seems to fix whatever idiotic and mindless failure Adobe built into this thing which they couldn't otherwise help me fix. Plain reboots did not do this: only booting into and back out of safe mode.
Thinking I was imagining things, I got up this morning and checked. Yep. There it is on my desktop, working as if it had been there all along and I hadn't been ignored, avoided, led astray, given stupid advice, or sold a product that clearly wasn't ready for sale. PSE 10. Working. Seemingly fully functional. Glory be.
Now, since I am the one who fixed it, I was thinking Adobe should pay me. I spent about 10 hours fuming over this thing, and I bill $65 an hour as a consultant. I realize that I am not an Adobe coder or support specialist, but I fixed it and should be compensated for my time at my rate. A bonus is in order as well - call it pain and suffering. 10X$65 plus a little sweetener, let's call it a thousand bucks. What do you say, Adobe? Are you going to award my ingeniousness and brilliance? You couldn't handle it, and still can't, but I did it. Me. The bitchy, whiny one infesting your support board with angry hate. You owe me.
Yeah, I didn’t think so. Anyway, I have always liked PSE and have used past versions to great success. I think I will like PSE10 just as much, regardless the fact my view of Adobe is that much dimmer for the shamefully bad experience of late. This has been a pretty sucky couple of days, and from the boards and complaints I have found out it's the exception rather than the rule, but exceptional nonetheless.
Now I shall screenshot this thread and publish it everywhere I can find a place for it. I will call out the responses I received from Adobe (none) and the great support I received from Adobe (none) and the quality service I received from Adobe (none). Then I will do my level best to remember what the heck I was doing that made me want to buy PSE in the first place: there was a photo of...something, and I wanted to...do something. What was it? I've spent so much time in Adobe FailShop I have forgotten what I was doing here in this bottomless abyss of fail...
Ta taa, Adobe Support. Love you, really I do. True story.
