Installer Failed To Initialize Photoshop CC Mac

Hi, I am on a Macbook Air 8gb Memory, 216 GB storage, i7 with around 60 gb free on my SSD, and I'm trying to install Photoshop CC. I currently have Illustrator and After Effects CS6. Basically, what happens, is that whenever I open the Photoshop Installer, I get this:
I have tried all sorts of things so far, including running things like the Adobe Cleaner, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Eli.

    Hello,
    Where did you get the installer file from?
    You can try the link below and download and install Dreamweaver CS6.
    During the installation process you would need to select the option to insert Serial number to authenticate.

  • "the installer failed to initialize" Photoshop CS5

    Hello,
    I've downloaded CS 5 extended from adobe.com, i used adobe extractor to extract the file but when i tried to install it, the box above showed up.
    I tried to restart the computer but i still didn't work. What should I do?

    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:

  • When I try to install Photoshop Elements I receive the error installer failed to initialize.

    I am having the same issue.  Purchased Photoshop Elements 10 just a few minutes ago, and even though the download (direct download of PSE10) seemed to go fine, I ran the installer and got a message reading, "Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    After downloading and running Adobe Support Advisor, the message I got reads, "Inspection could not identify any issues.  Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance."
    Can you help?
    Thanks,
    Lindy

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have tried downloading and several times.  I have used the Akamai downloading method and the direct download.  I am able to download the .dmg file but not install the application.
    I am on a Mac Pro 2.93 GHz running OS10.6.8, and I have plenty of RAM (8GB) and hard disc space (>350GB).
    I have also placed a call to customer support.  Waiting for a call back.
    Again, thanks.

  • Photoshop CS6 installer fails to initialize

    After downloading the Mac version of Photoshop CS6 using Download Assistant, I attempted to install it as a trial. When I launch the Photoshop CS6 install app, it comes back with "We've encountered the following issues -- installer failed to initialize." It suggested Adobe Support Advisor be downloaded to detect the problem. I downloaded and ran that. It comes back with "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance." So here I am...

    At first download the Adobe applciation manager manually from the locations:
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4774&fileID=4438
    Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4773&fileID=4437
    Later If you are still facing issue. Rename Media_db, pdb and OOBE folder.
    The path for the above files will be:
    1: OOBE
    Windows: C>Program files or Program files(x86)>Common files>Adobe>OOBE and rename the OOBE folder to like (OOBEold).
    Mac OS X : Macintosh HD>Library>Applciation support>Adobe>OOBE .
    Note: The library will be hidden in Mac OS X version 10.7 and later you can access the hidden library ie the root library by In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
    In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library and click Go to access the hidden library.
    2:Location of Media_db, pdb files.
    Windows: C>Program files or Program files(x86)>Common files>Adobe>Caps
    Mac OS X : Macintosh HD>Library>Applciation support>Adobe>Caps.
    After renaming OOBE, Media_db, pdb files run the Application manager which was downloaded and if the issue still persists then:
    Create a new Administartor account and the restart the computer and log in back to the created new admin account , log in to CCm account and then try it will work.
    If you have queries regarding Creative Cloud installation and setup, you  can contact support using the below link.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/

  • 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!!!

  • I downloaded the 32 bit version of photoshop cc 2014. When trying to install I get the message that installer failed to initialize and that this could be due to a missing file. Has anybody a solution ?

    I downloaded the 32 bit version of photoshop cc 2014. When trying to install I get the message that installer failed to initialize and that this could be due to a missing file. Has anybody a solution>?

    Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer?  You need to do that.
    I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

  • Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install. Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize.

    Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install.
    ... Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.   
    ... Adobe Support Advisor message "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance. http://www.adobe.com/support."
    ... .... So far I have downloaded twice, to two different folders (Desktop and my default download folder). Neither option has worked.  Please help!  I'd like to download Premiere Elements 11, but with this kind of installation problem on PSE11, it seems a second program may be as much of a problem to try to install.

    As Mylenium has stated all we have is a very general error message at this point so it is impossible to advise you until we have additional details.  Please review your installation logs by following the steps listed in Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

  • 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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

  • 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. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." I have already downloaded it, and it didn't help at all. I've tried repairing disk permissions and rebooting, but nothing yet. 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:

  • "Installer Failed To Initialize"? After Effects CS5 Mac, Help!!!

    I'm in serious need of some help here. I downloaded the After Effects CS5 trial, but when I go and try to install it I get an error:
    "Installer Failed To Initialize. Please Download Adobe Support Advisor To Detect The Problem"
    I already tried Adobe Support Advisor, but it didn't detect any problems.
    I tried re-downloading the file again, but still no luck.
    I'm running an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.2, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Hi.  I see this thread is old...last post is july 2010.  However, since I just had a similar issue and since a google search brought me here, i figure id share my info with other who my hit this too...
    i have os x 10.7 and am trying to install cs5.5 master collection.  i kept getting the installer failed to initialize error.
    by looking at the PDApp.log, i saw an error and fixed the issue causing the error...
    my issue was when launching Install.app, it looks for ~/Applications and creates a folder "Adobe" in it.  I had an alias in my home dir and the log showed the installer didnt see it as a valid directory.
    by removing the alias, the installer then created the folder "~/Applications/Adobe" for me.  However, since it created an empty folder named Applications, separate from the actual /Applications dir, this was not acceptible.
    So, if i right click on /Applications and hit "Make alias" and move that to my home dir...same issue.
    But, if i open Terminal.app and type "sudo ln -s /Applications" the seemingly same type of alias or "symbolic link" is created, but instead the installer see the dir as valid, and the install went flawlessly.
    Hope this helps someone.
