Failed to install Photoshop Elements on my iMac

I failed to install my old version Photoshop Elements 2.0, purchased with camera as package. Once I click the installer pop-up message say "You must be logged in as an Administrator to install this product...". I am actually the only user and adimin on this system. How to resolve it? I searched some cased in the community and tried but couldn't find a good solution. Any expert knows? Thanks!

What are the specs of your iMac?
What version of OS X are you running?
PS Elements 2.0 is very old. This version is for old Macs that used Motorola PowerPC processor chips. It will not work on your iMac without your iMac running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard running a PowerPC emulator app called Rosetta.
If you ard running OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mt. Lion, this version of PS will no longer work.
You'll need to update it to a new, compatible version.
Also, any version of PS is CPU! GPU! RAM and HD hungry.
You may find you'll need to increase the amount of RAM memory in your iMac to run PS Elements.

I had pretty much the same error code, but a different font was named. Between the suggestion from Manish_1988 and the page linked by Vikrant Ral, I finally got my installation to work. Here's what I did:
1. Open a Terminal window and "cd /Library/Fonts"
2. Remove all of the fonts in the family that the error message is complaining about. In my case, the offending font in the error message was ACaslonPro-Regular.otf. I created a new subdir under /Library/Fonts, then moved all of the ACaslonPro* files to the new subdir. Commands were:
sudo mkdir old_fonts
sudo mv ACaslonPro* old_fonts
3. Ran the installation again and it completed without errors.
I think I was doing all of this in Safe Mode (based on the advice from http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.html), but I'm not sure that was necessary. I did previously have Photoshop Elements 6 on this machine, which I believe is what put those fonts there in the first place.
Also, before I moved the fonts, I had a font called ACaslonPro-Semibold.otf.incompleteMigration, whose size was 0 bytes. Maybe this file was causing the problem, but I don't know. I think this file may have resulted from an error a couple years ago when I migrated an old MacBook to a new machine.
Hope this helps

How to install Photoshop Elements 11 on Macbook Pro 10.8.3 after the installer failed to initialize

I tried several times to install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro (10.8.3) but the installer failed to initialize and the Support Advisor inspection could not identify any issue. I went today to the Apple Store to get help and the Genius guy couldn't resolve the problem either. He told me to contact Adobe Support and he gave me an Adobe token number.
Does anyone knows how can I resolve this problem? Any help would be truly appreciate it!!!
Thanks a lot!!!

Installing Photoshop elements 9, update to 9.0.3 fails

I am new to this.
I bought a scanner that includes the adobe photoshop elements 9 and the silverfast se software.
once i installed photoshop, it tells me to update and the update fails with:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later.
I am supposted to be able to launch the silverfast software via the import, but I don't have an option and i thought maybe the update would fix it but neither item is working.
Any ideas????

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum. You will want review the log files for update to determine the exact error message.

Im trying to install Photoshop Elements premier 12 on my new Mac with the latest update and i keep getting the same failed to initialise message. I was able to register the key code at first but now im not able to either open the program or reinstall it.

What is "Photoshop Elements Premier 12"? Do you mean Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements? Were your files copied over from a previous mac that had PSE installed on it?

I cannot install Photoshop Elements 2.0 on the iMac I got last year. I have been using the PSElements on my PC OK. What should I do besides getting the latest PSElements?

I think PE 2 only worked as far OS 10.3 Panther. There is no alternative but to get the version that works on your 10.7 Lion Machine, which I think is PE 6 or higher.

"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 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:

Having trouble installing photoshop elements 12

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me with a problem I'm having installing photoshop elements 12 on my vista pc. Basically I have tried downloading the trial via the download assistant but the program will not load or show any signs of working after I download it. I have also attempted to directly download the trial from Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools but file 1 only seems to download a 1.5mb file that will not open (similar to the download assistant). File 2 will download but upon unpacking it, the installer program in the download will not respond.
I have tried turning all of my antivirus off, and have been downloading with firefox as opposed to internet explorer. I have not had any error messages pop up as no programs or downloads I have tried even seem to load up.
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with installing Photoshop elements 9 and adobe support advisor

Hi, I've received a graphic tablet with 2 programs: the first has been downloaded and works perfectly while the second, PSE9, has been giving me problems for at least a week!
I downloaded it and now I have a winzip file full of strange things (one of this is set up exe which tells me that I have to install adobe support advisor) and two files which said 3DF.tmp and PSEP9(1).zip.download and if I try to click them they tell me that I have to find on the Net the program to open them because I can't. And I don't know which program is required.
I tried a lot of times to download the adobe support advisor, I have enough space on my disc and my farewall is deactivated, but when the program begins I saw this annoyant message
cpsid_82829s5 Missing installation file bootstrapper error occured
with this code for a support from adobe 00-67325-032018052012
I unistalled it and retried, but nothing.
Please, I just want to use my tablet with the programs which are comprised in the package, why it's so difficult to download this damn photoshop elements 9????????????
Thank you

In the error message it doesn't tell me
"Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again,"
neither "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
and I have enough space and I have Windows xp then I should be able to install it. I tried to unistall and install again the support advisor but nothing. I'm desperate.

Installing Photoshop Elements 8 options

Hi
I have just installed Photoshop Elements 8 on my Mac Computer, However am not sure what the other options are e.g
Adobe Extension Manager CS4 and Supporting Components : "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS4" and "Adobe fonts all."
As I was unsure I only installed Photoshop Elements 8 .
Please advise the necessity to install the extra options? and whether if it ok to install these extra options now, that is, that there will not create problems doing the installing of the extra components separately from Photoshop Elements 8?
Hopefully this makes sense.
One extra question which has to do with my having uninstalled Photoshop CS4. When I now try and open a PDF files I receive an error message " Adobe Acrobat Could not install correctly. ( this relates to an update to Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional) A required component was not found. Please restore the Adobe Acrobat folder from your original CD.
Hopefully you can assist with this question.
Thank you
Sue

Yes the first part is correct, However, it seems that acrobat has disappeared with uninstalling Photoshop CS4. The issue is that I am now unable to open PDF files . Seems I need to to reinstall just acrobat and am I unsure how to do that ?
I first had inkling that Acrobat had gone missing after uninstalling Photoshop CS4.
A message came through that I could download a patch version 8.1.7 for Acrobat. This installation failed. Message received was
"Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly" - A required component was not found. Please restore the adobe Acrobat folder from your original CD .
Hope this helps
thanks
Sue
