Installer fails to initialize, CS5 Web Premium, Mac OSX 10.7.3

OK I had a trial of Dreamweaver 5.5 on my Macbook which has expired. I uninstalled and now I'm trying to install our web premium cs5. Getting error, 'installer failed to initialize'
Downloaded the support advisor, it says there are no issues.
Any ideas ?
Rich

Fixed. We created an ISO from the web premium DVD and copied that onto the Mac, then used the Mac ISO mounter and it installed fine from there.
Thanks
Rich

  • CS5.5 Design Premium: installer failed to initialize

    Ok, I'm having this problem.  This started because I had to perform a system restore.  I ended having to go back so far with the system restore that all of my Adobe Products(among others) no longer appeared to be installed. 
    So I downloaded Adobe CS5.5 Design premium from a link mentioned elsewhere in the discussions.  Everything extracts fine, but when I execute the installer it always prompts "installer failed to initialize".  I have downloaded the Adobe support advisor.  It shows multiple:
    cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred.
    Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
    I have clicked the links(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-error-messages-bootstrapper-cs5.html)  below and followed the instructions.  There is no "InProgress" Entry in the registry in the locations provided.   I have also ran the "Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool " Multiple times and have removed ALL.   I have deleted every directory on this computer that says Adobe.   
    This is a clients computer and we REALLY don't want to wipe and reload(Money/time and all that).  Can anyone help me with this error?

    System restore is a first resort for most people when there is a problem in Windows.  Obviously it wasn't a hit in this situation.  I know a wipe and reload would fix it.  If you read my post you'd see I'm trying to avoid that.  If you have any information that can help me there I would love to know it.

  • "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.

  • Installer failed to initialize / cpsid_83578r3 / CS5 on OSX Mavericks

    I own Adobe CS5 PRODUCTION PREMIUM and have successfully used it for a number of years on my Mac OS X computer. Recently I could not get After Effects to open so I uninstalled it, intending to reinstall it. I have recently installed the new Mac OS X "Mavericks" on my computer. Right now, I cannot get the disc installer to work--I get an error saying, "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." which I did:

    Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
    I have searched Adobe forums for solutions. However, I have found no solutions. I REALLY need this software to work for my new job. What do I need to do to get AE to install from my CS5 Production Premium discs? I can still use other CS5 programs, but not AE...please help!

    Jneigh there is no need to post your token number as the service which allows us to collect the installation logs is no longer available.

  • Installer failed to initialize - Mac 10.9.2

    In trying to install CS6 Design & Web Premium from the original disk onto a new MacBook Pro I get the dreaded Installer Failed to Initialize message. The Support Advisor could not identify any issues. I was able to install Lightroom 5 from it's disk.
    I know there have been a number of posts on the Installer Failed to Initialize but I could not find one that would help me. Is it possible to download a new installer?

    No CS6 log file exists in this directory.In a terminal window, doing ls

    Then I took a look at the file, ~/Library/Logs/PDApp.log which I attach.
    There is a FATAL error:

  • Your installation encountered errors. Installer failed to initialize. (CS5.5 upgrade)

    I am trying to install CS5.5 on an HP laptop running Windows 7. It is an upgrade version. I had it installed once, but InDesign did not function fully (could not access any tools or choose any of my paragraph style definitions). So I uninstalled and tried again. Now I can't get past the "Finish" window that reads as follows:
    Installation Status
    Your installation encountered errors
    Please try restarting your system and installing again
    Installer failed to initialize
    Contact Customer Support for further assistance
    <Click> DONE
    First let me say that contacting "Customer Support" is ineffectual. They will tell you that it is a tech problem and to contact Technical Support.
    Before I began getting this message over and over, upon installation, I would be told that the resolution of my monitor did not meet minimum requirements and needed to be set to at least 1024 x 768. My monitor was set to 1600 x 900.
    How can I get CS5.5 Design Premium to install on my laptop? TYSM (in advance) for any help.

    CyberAmazon54 I would recommend reviewing the installation logs for the Creative Suite 5.5 software you are trying to install.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • CS5 Master Collection error: Installer failed to initialize, help?

    When I first opened the CS5 installer, it worked perfectly, except my computer crash halfway through the installation. Now whenever I try to install an application, when I open the Adobe Installer, once it finishes Initializing the installer, I immediately get the "Installer failed to initialize" message. How do I fix this?

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and clean out the temporary files created during install in your temp directory. Additioanlly, check your task manager and terminate any rampant instances of setup.exe and msiexec.exe that may stil lbe running.
