Flash 10.3 "failed to initialise"

Hi All
I've been creating an image for distribution on a number of kiosks, running Windows XP SP3 & when I do a fresh instal of Flash 10.3 (i.e. the version released today) I get a "Failed to Initialise" message. Further more the flash.exe installer file vanishes from my desktop. I have been downloading the player directly from Adobe. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'm trying an older version of flash instead.
Kind Regards
Craig

Further to this, I have installed 10.2 - now any flash site I see says flash player is not installed. Further more, the adobe flash about page will not display as IE states the publisher cannot be recognised. Has there been a huge screw up at Adobe?

Failed to initialise

Hello. Everytime I am prompted to update Adobe Flash Player or Reader I download the installer, start to install, but then the installer "fails to initialise". My o.s. is XP. How can this be fixed?

Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (after the heading Progress bar hangs...).

I purchased and downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, but the installer fails to initialise. How do I get it to work?

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 installed on my PC. Both were installed from discs that I bought a few years ago. I recently purchased the upgrade (by download) for both applications to version 13. In accordance with the (scant) instructions received by email, I downloaded the four files required from the Adobe site. I subsequently ran the .exe files, which in turn created directories on my PC, including set-up.exe files for both applications. When I run the setup files, I get an error message stating that the installer failed to initialise. The error message advised me to download the Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. That tool does not exist. I then sought assistance from the Abobe support site, initially using the hyperlink suggestions, which were of no use, then using the chat function. The operator kept trying to get me to do something with something called 'Creative Cloud'; which I am not familiar with, and do not use. He then instructed me to download and run a CS5 cleaner tool; however, none of the choices offered by that tool include my issue, or either Photoshop Elements or Premier Elements. I am reluctant to uninstall version 10 of the programs in case I end up losing the lot and therefore wasting even more money than the purchase price for this upgrade.
All I want to do is upgrade my two applications from version 10 to version 13. I have paid the requisite fee but it clearly does not work. I appear to have totally wasted my money. Can anyone please tell me how to get it to work? I do not want to have anything to do with the so-called ‘Creative Cloud’ as I have no idea what it is, and I do not want to lose what I already have (and have paid for previously).
I have tried for a few days to access the so-called 24/7 chat assistance but appeared to have been locked out as every time I try to access it, I get a message that the (24/7) chat is closed. Adobe has taken my money for a product that does not work, and also refuse to help me fix it.
I am very frustrated with a product I bought that does not work, and a 24/7 support service that clearly is not 24/7, and which refuses to assist me. Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to get this to work? Rod.

Hi,
Can you please share the logs?
You can use the Adobe Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]
Thanks,

Photoshop CS6 Installer failed to initialise?

I have just bought a student copy of Photoshop CS6 Extended, and whenever I try to install it I get the message - ' Installer failed to initialise'.
I am running OSX Mountain Lion, on a 2012 Macbook Air. I have tried installing on a new user, as well as using the Adobe Support Advisor (No Problems detected) - I have also tried using the 'Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' to remove any old things. It still doesn't work. I don't have any other Adobe Programs currently installed.
I couldn't find any helpful advice in the other forum posts so I made my own.

I have the same issue. Also running mountain lion.
this is the PDApp.log
i have tried changing permissions as seen from another post but nothing seems to be working.

I've tried uninstalling, updating everything on my computer, restarting but nothing fixes it?? It worked once, the first time I opened it but once I closed it it started doing this. Help appreciated :/

Opening this folder worked for me... it asked me to obtain permission to read the folder and once this was done the program started ok.

You would need to replace Holly with your user name and it might be slightly different on your version of windows.

Laptop presario cq61 compaq fails to initialise when i try to open power2go with win 7

ive never used the power2go burner that came with my laptop ,i bought it just over a year ago from curries and in the end i took it back with in the waranty and they said they fixed it but they never 4 times in a row i would get it home and it never worked each time,now i have a different dvd burner because the last time i told them to replace it coz it dont work at all now its doing the same thing,it fails to initialise,doed any one know what i can do to sort this out as its a pain in the ass

Yes - (see above) - ' I have tried many fixes for this including setting keepconn, autodisconnect,
and adding LmCompatibilityLevel in the registry. None of these appear to change anything
(the behaviour, I mean) and I keep regularly and intermittently lose the mapped drive connections. '
This article explains perfectly what is happening to me, although I don't seem to have a "server
side" or a "computer" to run some of the server side fixes (nb I have still tried them all on the client side anyway)
This is because the networked drives are attached to my router and not another computer. All the
server side fixes seem to need a computer to run them or they tell you to - do this or that on the server side. THow can I apply server side fixes to my router?? Anyway my router seems to be set up and functioning correctly as everything works aok except for
the fact both the mapped connections keep dropping out. (even when I am using them ie transferring files.
Again I reiterate there seems to be an ARMY of frustrated Win 7 users out there experiencing similar
issues. This is really annoying as I bought the router (and drives) specifically for the 2 usb ports that would allow me to move all my media to two external networked drives and make my libraries available anytime for all my devices.
What a complete waste of time and money when windows prevents me from using my router with attached
storage as intended.
I can tell you all now I don't think anyone on the planet can solve this issue for me and thousands of other disgruntled users. The proof of this is the endless forums dating way way back and still there is no fix from microsoft.
Why does this connection keep dropping out???? How come it is happening when I am actively using the connection???? I am at my wits end.

NILM.EXE Application failed to initialise properly 0xc0000142

Hi,
I have recently had to reload windows (xp pro 2003 sp 3) onto my laptop and eventually got round to reinstalling labview 6.1. during the install, i get the repeated message "nilm.exe - the appication failed to initialise properly 0xc0000142" after which the system grinds to a halt under the weight of many many copies of nilm.exe failing to initialise in the same way...
I had a look around and discovered that the solution might be to disable this
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8355753BD0C8E62F8625768C005B359B
.. which i did.. but unfortuanely it didnt seem to work...
does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Did you receive any errors during the installation of LV 6.1 during installation? If so please take a look at the 6.1 ReadMe.txt which offers some registry keys you can comment out that may resolve the problem. If this doesn't help then what's different to this installation versus the one that worked previously, was that under XP SP3 as well? I'd re-check that you install 6.1 with the virus guard turned off, and that the virus guard allows exceptions i.e. nilm.exe on your system as it may be a security related issue preventing NILM.exe from starting.
Kind Regards,
Applications Engineer

DW036 is from conflicting processes so I have tried launching activity monitor and trying to quit flash player from firefox; which actually has created more errors.
To date I have not found anything for DW050 error apart from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1001241. Suggests installing to another directory as previous install is not properly removed; to which doesn't really suggest any helpful advice to me.
I have tried removing the whole CS5.5. Master suite over six times using both the adobe removal software and cleanup. Also using terminal.
Really want to use flash; anyone got any ideas??

As per me the issue is with the Flash player , with the CS5.5 installation the flashplayer was included but later on an update came and your flash player got updated(a higher version)
so when you try and install the CS5.5 the flash playre causes the conflict , hence uninstall the flash player following this artcile and then re-install the app , it should work

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?

ACS v3.3 Can't start CSAdmin Failed to Initialise working directories/files

Hello,
All of a sudden my old ACS won't start. Get
Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    CiscoAAA

Event ID:    1
Date:        10/12/2012

User:        N/A
Computer:    COH-ACS
Description:
CSAdmin could not be started: Failed to initialise working directories/files.
Check that the Log directory exists under CSAdmin. (service specific error 26)
Same for CSAuth
Then CSRadius gets could not initialize the Password Aging module
and CSTacacs cound not be started, failed to initialize service diagnostic log
Any ideas???
Thanks
Gene

Forget it.   Figured it out. The account associated with ACS needs access do the directories. I gave it local admin access to the box and all is well. Have no idea how it changed, but I have a suspision that our system admin tightened up security and took the AD account associated with ACS and stripped its permisstions away, so I just gave it local admin access to the box.
This worked
Thanks Gene......Oh your very welcome!!!    :-)))))

Flash trial verion fails to initialize

so, I downloaaded and installed flash on my laptop PC running
Vista. I havent had any problems in the past, but now when i try to
set up the trial version, it gives me this message: "the adobe
flash trial has fail to initialize, try restarting your computer or
re-installing your software..." ect. I don't know what could be
causing this.
If it matters, at one point i did have a full registered
version on this very computer for the entire creative suite.
however, my PC crashed and I therefore had to reformat the
computer. could this have anything to do with it?
please help if you can. Thanks.

I wonder, do you have Adobe AIR installed? I installed AIR
before knowing there was an issue where you had to update Flash Pro
before installing AIR and now I can't install the update and
haven't been able to find any info or get any help to figure out
how to resolve the issue.

Purchased a new iMac - installed CS5 CD - message - Installer failed to initialise....

Purchased a new iMac - installed CS5 CD - message - Installer failed to initialise....

You need to copy all the installer disc to the desktop, Folder by folder. for example, Copy the contents of Payloads folder on Disc 2 to payloads folder of Disc 1, Extension to extensions, etc
Then you will see the setup.app file on the Folder that you created on the desktop.
Run that and check.

Installer failed to initialise help from Trevor Dennis..gladly

trying to install photoshop cs5, inserting disc I receive error message
"installer failed to initialise" what's happening.
operating Mac 10.9 maverick.

Hi Charlie. There are a lot of people a lot more capable than me among the regular posters here. Case in point, I have been struggling to sort out my own problems with what appears to be a pair of wrecked 600Gb Velociraptors in my Projects drive (raid0). I also know very little about the Mac OS.
Ashutosh mentions the Adobe Application Manager, but as far as I know, that is not relevant if installing CS5 from a disk. I would still be very inclined to download a new installation file for CS5 as OSx 10.9 has been throwing up a few problems on this forum, and you need to give yourself the best chance of success.
You can find the files here
http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
Thinking back to when I installed CS5, I can remember getting a bit confused with the installer program, which is probably what Ashutosh is referring to. Save yourself grief, and read these instructions before you start. I know instructions are the last resort, and reading them challenges your rep as a 'bloke'...
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/start-installer-downloading.html
There is a list of issues concering 10.9 here, but only the last directly concerns CS5 (AFAICT)
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/mac-os-mavericks-compatability.html
Good luck, and you can wish me the same sorting out my dead raid0 - Thank goodness for real time back ups!
