Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 Installation "Failed to Initialize"

I've seen other people have this issue and there's never been a posted answer to it. When trying to install FMLE, I get an error message that says that the installation failed to initialize. My friends and I have tried a few things, but we can't figure it out.

we can't figure it out.
Neither can we. You have not provided any proper technical info like system specs.

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

Installer failed to initialize... unable to install CS 5.5 - PLEASE HELP Student in finals week!

Problem: “Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
Background: Windows 8 became corrupt and I had to perform a full Windows Recovery (the “Remove everything and reinstall Windows” type).
Current Situation: I am a Senior in College, have Summer finals this week, my Senior project due, I am behind on my job design work, and I am going crazy because I can’t find anything/anyone to help me.
Set Up: Lenovo Y410P, Windows 8.1, CS 5.5 Design Standard Student-Teacher Edition (Yes, I have the media and product code/license key, as I purchased a valid copy in my university student store).
Here’s what I have done over and over again for the last SIX WEEKS!
1. Attempts to install from the original install DVD result in the following error, “Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
2. [I click] Get “Adobe Support Advisor”
3. [I see mssg] The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued.. The tool has been replaced with [unnamed/unlinked] improved installation support mechanisms…
4. [I Run] “AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool” (see results below)
Note: I cannot run Windows Uninstall because, following Windows Restore, Windows doesn’t recognize that CS5.5 has been installed. I do still see the following folders in Windows explorer, but Adobe Support says "don't attempt to manually remove folders";
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\
           \Adobe
           \Adobe PCD
           \Adobe Photoshop CS5.1
           \Adobe Application Manager
           \Adobe CerativeCloudCleaner Tool
           \backup…

Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6 installer failed to initialize on Mac Book Air

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS6 for at least a month now.
I have downloaded the .dmg file at the Adobe Website and it starts to initializing the installer, then a error show up:
"The installer could not initialize. Download the Adobe Support Advisor."
There is no Adobe Support Advisor when I clicked on the link. "The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" (http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/)
I've tried this many times, but every time being a failure.

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.

Photoshop Installer failed to initialize. Help?

Hello adobe! When trying to download a trail of photoshop the installer resulted in the following issue:
Installation Failed
     Your installation encountered errors.
Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file.
More troubleshooting tips:
1.Restart your computer
2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software.
3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications.
     I looked into this issue for probably around 5 hours now and attempted everything possible (or at least any solution I could find). The attempts tried and failed go as follows:
- Disabling all startup processes in msconfig
- Disabling antivirus temporarily
- Using the CCcleaner to produce a log and delete files
- Downloading multiple products from adobe (none working and same error)
     These programs include premeire
- Trying to use the installer on multiple drives (I have 3 total)
- Multiple accounts and directories
     My PC's specs:
-Intel core i7 4770k 3.5GHz
-(ASUS) Nvidia Geforce GTX 760
-8 GB RAM
-Samsung SSD and two other HDDs
My guess as to the cause for the problem is that I have moved my users and program files directories to one of my HDDs.

Anything that you can do? If so thank you! Thanks!

I had a similar problem with installation of CS6 Extended.
I searched all through the forums and the internet, could not find an answer to this issue. On another forum, someone suggested this option for a differnt issue. I tried it for mine and it worked.
Download a newer version of Adobe Application Manager (https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773)
Installed the application manager and than install your softwre. CS6 Extended loaded right up.

Photoshop elements 11 installer failed to initialize

I am attempting to install photoshop elements 11 on a macbook, and am getting an error message "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
I downloaded Adobe Support Advisor, and it reported only the following error (although it is repeated many times):
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 11.0 cpsid_90243r4: Error DW020 or DW050 occurs during installation - Creative Suite 5.5, Flash CS5.5, Flash Builder 4.5
Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
System Information :
Operating System = OS X 10.8.2 (12C2034)
Locale = en
I followed the link for "details and corrective actions" - the link is http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/installation-error-dw050-dw020-cs5.html - and it simply says "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing" but the product did not install.
How can I fix this so that it will let me install the product?
Thanks in advance

It appears that the Adobe Support Advisor was unable to detect the error which caused your installation failure. Please review your installation logs manually. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

How do I resolve "Installation failed to Initialize" message?

I've used Adobe products for over 20 years. Now I'm truly stuck, and live chat hasn't been helpful at all (no responses to my questions, just instructions ignoring what I'm saying, which is basically that I tried all the suggestions/instructions already, and they didn't work). My OS is Windows 7, Home Professional. I purchased CS5.5 Design Premium on a CD and attempted to install it. The CD seemed to work; the installation started. Then nothing happened for over an hour, so I cancelled the installation and rebooted my machine. Now when I try to install, I receive a message saying that the "Installation failed to initialize" and that I must clink on the link for Support Advisor. When I do this, the Manager finds no errors. I can't find installation logs. Live chat suggested that I change the ODBE (or something like that) file to "old" and then try again. This didn't work. I downloaded the Application Manager. This didn't help, either. Copying the contents of the CD to the desktop didn't get better results. Live chat suggested that I download the trial version and then attempt to use my legitimate serial number. I said this probably wouldn't work either, because the issues from the first CD attempt hadn't been resolved. Nine hours later the trial version finished downloading, and after all that, I got the same failure to initialize message. I replied to my "case file", and, so help me, the same customer rep responded, telling me to download the trial version. In other words, he completely ignored the fact that I'd tried and it didn't work. I've looked on the forum, and there was a discussion about this "failure to initialize", but the discussion was completely in German, which doesn't help me at all. I'm hoping that someone on this forum can help me through this process; this software is mega expensive and should come with better support.

Jeff,
My state of mind was such that I didn't dare post any updates until I'd made sure that each component of CS5.5 actually worked. Eureka! Using the new administration account, I was able to get the CD to install the software in less than an hour...which does tell me that there was a problem all along with the first attempt which hung for over an hour. I still don't know what is wrong with the rights on the current account, because I haven't had a problem installing other software, so I don't know how helpful this will be to someone in the future who encounters the same "failed to initialize" message and goes searching through this form for answers.
Other notes...I did disable all other running programs; didn't do the modified mode this time, though that had been a previous attempt which didn't work (perhaps because I didn't remove some of the files, such as the cache, or rename the ODBE file -- you know more about this than I do). This was part of the frustration with the live chat experience; there was never an identification of the errors (I didn't know about the logs in the temp file, and apparently neither did the live chatter), so we just kept trying and trying without making other changes that I thought should have been addressed before we continued the attempts to install. I did state this many times, but my comments were ignored.
As per my concern, built upon a comment by a live chatter -- that I couldn't switch between the two administration accounts--, it wasn't a problem, at least in my version of Windows. I went to the shut-down button, selected the arrow to the right, and the first option that appeared in the fly-out panel was "switch users". Completely not a problem.
For anyone else who encounters the same frustrations that I did, I'd strongly recommend communicating with Jeff...don't know how to thank him enough for helping restore whatever is left of my sanity. Thank you so much, Jeff. Sounds so trite to say that I appreciate your help; I'm an editor, but I'm at a loss for words that will convey the depth of my gratitude. Now I can address all those projects that have been backlogged while I've fought with the installation.

Adobe CS6 'Installer failed to initialize' on Windows 7. Help!

I downloaded the Adobe Extended CS6 from Adobe.com on to my Windows 7 (HP) Dell laptop on 64bit.
After unpacking the downloaded file, I tried to run the installer but got the message - 'Installer failed to initialize'. It tells me to dowload the Adobe Support Advisor but the program is no longer available. See- Adobe - Adobe Support Advisor
This new link just gives generic links. (Thanks for that Adobe!)
In trying to fix this, I have uninstalled all Adobe Cloud/Flash software and ran the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner and CCleaner tools. And yet the problem persists.
I've lost half a day trying to fix this, so if there's anyone out there who can help I'd be very grateful!

Is your user profile on the C: drive? How about the Temp directory?

InDesign CS6 trial download: "Installer failed to initialize"

Hi, I have successfully downloaded Adobe InDesign CS6, using the Download Manager Software. When I click on 'Install", a window appears with a progress bar ("Adobe Installer"), and the bar gets about 2/3 through, then I get an error message saying "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." Then a link to download Adobe Support Advisor, or button to Quit.
So, I downloaded and ran Adobe Support Advisor. After initializing, the software tells me "no issues detected."
- My machine meets the system reqs for InDesign CS6
- Obviously I have tried restarting my machine and running all these steps again. Still getting the error.
Please help!!! Thank you.

Okay, Mylenium, here are my system specs:
Mac os x version 10.6.8, 4gigs memory, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 470 Gigs of available hard drive space.
I have run all of Apple's software updates up to today, and I have also run cleanup and Disk Utility repairs just in case these are a factor. Still getting the error message with the "Failure to initialize install."
Also: I have installed on my machine InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Dreamweaver CS5.
Can you help me?

Mac - Installer failed to initialize. (etc) HELP! I can't install the CS6 Master Collection Suite.

When I begin the installation for the CS6 Master Collection, I get an effor saying, "We've encountered the following issues" and below it says, "Installer failed to initialize.

I have a Mac, and this is my first time installing ANY adobe products on it besides air and flash (of course).

It didn't log anything:

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:
