File archive is missing?

I've downloaded Photoshop Elements several times this morning, but when I try to install it, I get a message that the "file archive" is missing. I've never encountered this error when installing software before. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thx.

Thanks for responding.
Operating system: Windows Vista Home Edition.
Steps:
1. Download Photoshop Elements 10 via the licensing site. I've tried both the "Download" option and the "Download Manager" option.
2. I've tried going to the program folder via Windows Explorer and trying to launch it from there. I've also selected the option on the download window for the download to launch it's downloaded. In both cases, I get this error message:
"The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. Please download all parts."
And each time, I think, "If was supposed to download, why didn't it?"

How do I install Elements for Windows 7 PC with 64 bit? Get error message - file archive part missing

We purchased Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on September 7, 2014 and have tried a variety of things including searching through FAQs on the Adobe site, etc. etc. and cannot get our downloads to work. We are avid computer users and have never had problems downloading software before.
From our account under "orders" - I have tried clicking on the Akamai download manager and the Alternate Download Method on for each application with the same results.
We have a Windows 7 PC with a 64 bit operating system and Internet Explorer 11.
On all attempts we get an Adobe screen with 2 links – 1 for a file ending in .7z and a 2nd file ending in .exe.
I click on the first file and confirm the download completes at 100% (not paused, etc.) and is in the downloads folder for my user name on the PC.
I click on the 2nd link for .exe and I receive the error message below – 2nd screen shot – “file archive is missing” all folders/files must be in same folder.
So I see it’s a winzip file (as a winzip pop up folder had come up also) so I download the free version and unzip the files in the same downloads folder under my user name to try that.
I click on .exe file link again and same message. I tried copying the files directly to the downloads folder (as they all unzipped into a subfolder called PSE 12 and tried clicking on .exe again but get the same message.
For Premiere I tried the same and got same results on the 64 bit version download.
I do not know how to access the software we purchased.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Also - if anyone knows how I can contact Adobe for a full refund so I can just buy the boxed software instead - that would be helpful as well as that is not easy to find online either.
Thanks!

I get an error message saying that the quicktime installer will only work on 32 bit
The QuickTime player works on 64-bit systems. (It's a 32-bit application, but it should run fine using the standard 32-bit-on-64-bit Windows-on-Windows emulation.)
What's the precise text of your installation error message, dc? (There one or two different ones I can think of that might mention 32-bit)

File archive part missing

I am trying to install RoboHelp 11 on my work laptop, and I keep getting the following error message: "The file archive part of Adobe RoboHelp 11 is missing. You need all the parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe RoboHelp 11. Please download all parts."
I am not sure what files they are talking about. The IT department bought RoboHelp for me and put it on my network drive. The only thing there was an .exe file. I tried copying that to my desktop and installing, but I keep getting that error message. Is there somewhere on the Adobe site where I can download the missing files? Or do I need to talk to the IT department to get them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

for windows users there is normally an exe and a 7z file. the exe is the extractor and the 7z is the archive.
if you don't have both, download here, http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=robohelp

Pc cannot install purchased photo elements 13. Error message appears: File archive part missing from Adobe Photo Elements 13. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Photoshop 13. please download all parts.

Cannot install my download due to above error message.

Hi revbos,
Apologies for your incovinience.
Requesting you to please go to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us. When you click on download button (after selecting your OS details), it should open a new browser window (which will launch the Akamai installer automatically). Please cancel any installation or error shown.
The newly opened browser page will look something like this:
As highlighted, please click on these links (one by one) and see if it downloads the required files. The downloaded files will be compressed with 7z format. If you have some extracting tool (like WinZip) try extracting it. If you don't have it, download 7z. Its a free utility from Microsoft. Once downloaded and installed, you will be able to extract file and locate the PSE setup.
Please let me know if you face any issues.

Do as it says: Put your downloaded 7z file and the *.exe in a proper folder, not just dump it onto your desktop or whatever.

Hi,
Have you tried downloading Photoshop Elements 13 from here?
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html
There is only one file to download - which one depends on your system (32-bit or 64-bit).
These are the trial versions but will convert to the full version when you supply your serial number.

TDFields you will want to ensure the 7z and exe file are in the same folder/directory. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Hello
I’ve managed to get it to work now but not as straightforward as I’d have liked and difficult to find out how to get help.
