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.

  • Photoshop CS6 trial - installer failed to initialize

    I've recently tried to download the Photoshop CS6 Extended trial software on my Windows 7 laptop, and after extraction I get a message saying:
    "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    Which I did, but no errors were found. So what do I do??

  • Tried to install Flash Player. Failed to initialize (XP)

    I uninstalled my old Flash Player and tried to install latest from Down loads. Get error msg: "Installation encountered errors. Failed to initialize." I changed Security setting to Medium, did everything in the Troubleshoot page instructions. Still get same error message. Now I have no Flash Player at all.
    Sorry about the stupid username...sign-in wouldn't let me use my name...Gigi.

    OK, no error message, but here is the copy/paste of the flash install.log file. Please help. THANKS.

  • Photoshop CS6 Trial "Installer Failed To Initialize" on Vista. Please help I have read other posts!

    I've read through countless posts on different sites and still can't find a fix to this. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what advice actually applies to me.  After extracting all the files and I run the setup I get about 75% through before I get the Installer failed to initialize message. After looking at the PDapp data It seems clear what the problem is, but I have no idea how to fix it. The fatal/error messages are as follows:
    [FATAL] Setup - Adobe Application Manager executable does not exist at the location: C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe
    [FATAL] Setup - Unable to launch PDApp. File missing
    [ERROR] Setup - Error in deleting folder C:\Users\Tanner\AppData\Local\Adobe. Error Code:145
    Please, any help would be great.

    first thing to do is to re-download ps cs6 in case your dl was corrupted.
    if you have no other cs6 programs installed, run the cleaner before trying to re-install:  http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

  • Cs6 trial "installer failed to initialize", already used cc cleaner

    Hello,
    I am trying to download and install a trial version of cs6 on my macbook retina which is running mavericks. I had actually already installed a cs6 trial but After effects did not work because i am running mavericks, so i needed to update to 11.0.3. For some reason, i forget why now, I thought i needed to reinstall the entire cs6 master suite so i deinstalled and attempted to reinstall, but it didn't work.
    I got this message:
    I read somewhere to download and run cc cleaner to erase any leftover data from the previous install, which I did, but I am still getting the same message.
    I have also redownloaded the installer and am still getting the same message.
    Does this have to do with the previous install?
    Should I manually go through all my files and toss out everything reading adobe and try again?
    Does anyone know any additional steps?
    Thank You

    would it be possible to take my laptop in to the apple store and have them wipe and reinstall mavericks, clearing all evidence/ artifacts of previous installs, but be able to keep certain programs by backing them up? basically I have a student trial version of cinema 4d which I would not want to lose if I did this, do you think I could safely back it up and transfer it back onto the machine after it has been wiped?

  • Tried to install Flash Player. Failed to initialize (Window 7 Ultimate)

    I was trying to update my flash player but cant seem to be able to do so. I need it to play games on facebook.
    Have done everything on the troubleshoot page.
    Thank you

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right
    clicking one of the following links:  Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer) or Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) and selecting "Save target as" or "Save Link as".
    Save it to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the installer.
    If IE still gives you trouble, see: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to be sure it's enabled and ActiveX isn't blocking content.

  • Adobe Flash, keep getting "failed to initialize"

    I have done all the recommended things on the blog. I have tried to remove any Adobe Flash that was in the machine(I wonder!). The processes are very complexed so I do wonder. My system is XP 3. I choose to run FireFox. I went through My Juno to no avail also, that uses Explorer. I don't find Adobe Flash in plug-ins but Shockwave Flash is there. I do have three out of date plug-ins, Adobe 8, Java Deployment Toolkit, and Java(TM) Platform. Most sights presume that all will be well after above has been done, but Oh No! Help would be appreciated.

    You may have to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the profile folder.
    To do this follow the instructions below.
    # Go to Firefox button > Help > Troubleshooting Info > Open Profile folder
    # A File manager window should show, delete pluginreg.dat '''when firefox is closed'''
    # Start up Firefox again and try to play flash content, does it work now?

  • Adobe Premiere Trial will not install - Failed to Initialize error

    When attempting to install the downloaded trial the following message occurs: "We've encountered the following issues:
    Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." Running Support Advisor finds no issues.
    I am running Windows 7.

    If the installer is failing to initialize then you will want to review the PDApp.log file.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret this log file at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • Adobe Flash failed to initialize. How do I fix it? Thanks!

    When I try to install Adobe Flash through Firefox, I receive the message that it failed to initialize after I have clicked run.

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''<u>but use IE to go to the above website</u>'''.

  • 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?
