Hi there
I have CC installed but want to also reinstall my older version of cs 5.5 production. I get the error "installer failed to initiliaze may be due to a missing file.
I know the downloaded installer works fine and is the correct size i have had it installed on my two previous workstations.
the summary of the log file is below
11:41:58 [ERROR] Setup - Error finding locale language dictionary file. Defaulting to english.

Hi Preran,

Installing CS5 on second computer (Installer failed To Initalize)

I have CS5 and want to install it on my laotop I already have it on my desktop Ihave down loaded adobe advisor it detetec's nothing wrong but I get error mesage ( installer faied to initilize )

"Installer Failed to initialize" is a generic error and we need to figure out what is causing the trouble. Most of the time, its an issue with the download that it was not successful or downloaded properly. So, in such cases, download the software again and make sure to compare the file size of the downloaded file with the file on the server. Lets check that in this case as well and make sure the download is complete.
Navigate to the log files in one of the following folders:
• Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
• Windows 64 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
• Mac OS: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/
The log filename includes the product name and install date, followed by ".log.gz." The extension .gz indicates a compressed format.
Use a decompression utility such as Winzip or StuffIt to decompress the .gz file. Once uncompressed, the log file is a plain text file.
Open the .log file using WordPad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac OS).
Note: By default, log files open in Console on Mac OS. Select all of the text by pressing Command+A, and then copy and paste it into a text editor before continuing.
Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the --- Summary --- section for lines that start with ERROR: or FATAL and indicate a failure during the installation process.
Copy and Paste that SUMMARY section in here so that we can check the errors. You might also analyze the logs yourself.

Failed to Initilize...

My computer is a Dell, Inspiron 1526, with Windows XP installed, which had been returned from being "repaired" (it wasn't) with everything wiped off.
I tried to download Adobe Flash Player, via Firefox, but my attempts have, so far, been unsuccessful.
I get a black box, entitled "Adobe Flash Player Installer"
But it says;"Installation encountered errors"
"Failed to initilize"
I don't have an older version I have to uninstall, so that isn't the problem.

You might also want to try to install using the installers located on this FAQ. Please let me know if this helps.
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player for Windows or Macintosh?
Thanks,
Chris

Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10: Installation Failed error message.

Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac: Installation Failed error message. Update downloaded directly from Adobe website. Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished. Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it. according to the link you listed, that's correct. the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os. seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it! thanks again.

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.

How do I fix the following error Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud Installation failed. Error Co

Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

What is the current version of Ps (Help->System Info), if you have 13.0.1.2 already applied then you need to re-install Ps to get Ps 13.1.2.
As 13.1.2 is a subscription patch this would not get applied over 13.0.1.2.
If this still does not resolves your issue, Kindly mail me installer logs.

Very frustrated, here! I have no updates on either computer, now!

Hi Jules,
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
My recommendation would be
- Uninstall PS via Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
- Create a new user with Admin rights, log out of your current account and into the newly created one
