Lightroom 5 doesn't install

I'm on CC on Windows 7 x64 and I get this error everytime I try to install LR5 through AAM:
ERROR: Third party payload installer Install Lightroom 5 CCM.exe failed with exit code: 1612
Any ideas?

Hi, This all seems good up to the bit where you say "Pointed the installer at that file". How do you do that? When I run the installer it just gets to that point and vanishes, no error message or dialog saying "can't find the file". So I can't point the installer to the file.
If I just run the msi it installs ok, but as a stand-alone, requiring serial etc, Re-running the install from CC doesn't change that as it appeared to do for you.
This install issue has been around since LR4, on Windows 7 and a similar one on Mac OSX. It appears to affect only some configurations, but it does appear to be widespread. Adobe has ignored this issue for every update in LR 4.x and continues to ignore it in CC. It is clearly a LR-only issue as it doesn't affect any other CC apps. I have wasted countless hours on this in forums and with Adobe tech support, and Adobe has been no help, just taking me through the same "troubleshooting" steps every time. The most recent ticket for this issue on CC has taken 4-5 hrs of my time over 2 weeks, and no resolution. Now I have CC it seems they expect me to buy a separate upgrade licence to run LR, as the standalone is the only one I can use, (by using this workaround).
I feel Adobe has been willfully neglectful on this issue, and it seems that now they can expect an additional revenue stream from CC users who are unable to install LR excapt as standalone! If I was charging for the time I have wasted over this I could pay for several years of CC subscriptions as well as the LR upgrade. I would have been better off to just suck it up and buy the standalone upgrade in the first place, rather than all the time I've wasted trying to fix this, with or without Adobe's "help".

I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option

I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option. CS5 is still installed on my computer. How can I add it to Lightroom Edit options?
Mac 10.6.8

You can add CS5 as an "Additional External Editor" on the External Editing Tab of the Preferences panel. See this screenshot, I have Photoshop CS5 as my prime editor, and have added CS3 as an additional external editor:
Then when you use "Edit In...." you'll see both options available..

The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Question: The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Absolutely - but I had no idea there were two versions. When I got my new laptop I just went to the Adobe site to download and install LR5. It never asked if I had a license; it just directed me to install CC to start a trial which I thought I could license after downloading. Several sessions and many hours of looking through the forums and Google for an answer I never ran across anything that made this distinction. I still haven't found a path from www.adobe.com that would get me to the standalone download page (it's probably there, wasn't obvious to me) and looking at the download page it doesn't make any CC/standalone distinction.
There are many places I could have gotten a hint - for instance the license could be tagged "stand alone edition", the CC-version could recognize the stand-alone key and either accept it or produce a more meaningful error message, or the download site or the CC app could ask if I had previously purchased a key, etc.
It was my error to assume this was a deactivation problem, but it looked the same as a previous deactivation problem with Photoshop.
In any event, thank you for your help.

Photoshop cc 2014 and lightroom doesn't work

Hi,
I need your help.
Installed Photoshop and Lightroom as trial today.
Since 5 hrs I try to make them work and I am close of loosing my patience.
I have a laptop, windows 7, 64 bit.
Updated all the drivers.
Installed and deinstalled the products couple times.
Signed in and out of the cloud. And still having the same problem:
PS starts up normal and after few seconds just closes.
No error message. Then the message if I still want to use my trial pops up.
Lightroom doesn't start at all. After few seconds the trial message showes up.
What can I do?
I need the PS for my work.
Checked the crash reports and fixed the driver.
Also checked the aministrativ status.
Checked also numerous help from other users with the same issue and also YouTube.
Still having the problem.
Thank you for your help.

None of my "Edit In" worked with the pictures in Lightroom for a particular folder. I expanded the 2014 folder and found that two subfolders had a "?" in front of the 2014-07-04" and another. In other words, the folder was missing. After I found the missing folders using the Lightroom "Find Missing Folder" option, I was able to use the "Edit In" menu item. The 2014 folders weren't expanded at first, so I didn't see the ? marks in front of them. With the missing folders, Lightroom's "Edit In" option was basically telling me there was no picture to "Edit In." Howerver, I have Previews and Smart Previews made when I import picture files into Lightroom. So, the "pictures" showed in the slide strip on the bottom, and also in the display in "expand," but it was actually only showing the previews I had built, not the actual missing pictures in the missing folders. I had accidentally moved some directories using Windows Explorer, and I didn't realize my "happy fingers" moved them outside of Lightroom. Of course, Lightroom has no way of knowing I moved them, and just shows the "?" before the missing folder name. After expanding the root folder, then knew what to do. Fixed it easily. It was frustrating, and took about 20 minutes to see the problem. And that fixed the greyed-out "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014, and all the other plug-ins were greyed out too.
Hope this fixes your problem.

Lightroom doesn't recognize PS Elements 6?????

I have been using Lightroom 1.3.1 and PS Elements 4 with good compatibility. Now upgraded to PS Elements 6 and Lightroom doesn't recognize the program when I try to go from Lightroom to PSE6. The drop-down menu under "photo" in the Develop module has the command "edit in Photoshop" grey and not functioning.
I know that there is a fix mentioned to add photoshop itself but I need to add photoshop Elements. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Should I remove Lightroom 3 when installing Lightroom 5?

Should I remove Lightroom 3 when installing Lightroom 5?
Or should I remove Lightroom 3 before installing Lightroom 5?

it doesn't matter.
you can leave lr 3 and use both or you can remove lr3 and, if you remove lr 3, you can remove it before installing lr 5 (in which case you'll be prompted for lr3's serial number if your lr5 is an upgrade) or you can install it after (in which case you'll only be prompted for lr5's serial number).

ITunes version 11.0.2.26 doesn't install

The latest update to iTunes doesn't install correctly. After the update ran, I received error -42404 and couldn't connect to my AppleTV. I followed the instructions and removed and reinstalled. Now I get an error that AVFoundationCF.dll cannot be found and iTunes won't startup.
I believe before this update I was running the 32 bit version of iTunes. Originally I could not get the 64 bit version to work, the 32 bit version worked fine. Now it seems to want to replace the 32 bit version with 64 bit version.
Any suggestions?

You can try to completely uninstall iTunes from your PC, remove your preferences (remember to backup your data) and then install the latest version: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
It should fix it but again, backup your content and settings first!

ITunes doesn't install on Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi everyone.
I have tried to install iTunes on my Windows but I just can't be sucessful. After the installation process, I get the message that the program was correctly installed, but then I don't have the program, it wasn't installed. I get no errors, iTunes just doesn't install, but says it was installed.
I have searched about this problem but didn't find anything like that.
Does someone have any idea? My Windows is 7, Home Premium.
Thanks.

I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075).
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

"Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install with iTunes

When I install iTunes 11.3 on my pc "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install.
The installer installs
Apple Application Support
Apple Software Update
Bonjour
iTunes
But it doesn't install "Apple Mobile Device Support"
My OS is "Windows 8.1 64bit"
i have ESET Smart Security installed on my PC but when i want to install itunes i disable it .
i removed and installed itunes completely several times but it didn't help !
sb help me pls !!!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on Satellite M40

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on this notebook. Vista hangs after installation and doesn't boot up. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Hello
As far as I know older units are not Vista supported. I believe it is not necessary to say why. Satellite M40 is older notebook model and definitely not Vista supported. Many newer WXP preinstalled notebooks are Vista supported but Toshiba has for each model designed new BIOS version and before installing Vista the BIOS update must be done at first.
I can imagine that new BIOS is needed for M40 too but as I said before this machine is not Vista supported. I am very interested if someone will report more about Vista on Satellite M40.

How do I tell the CC application manager that Lightroom is not installed on my pc?

Before i got CC i was using Lightroom 5 swedish version for evaluation. I used application manager to install an English version by setting the language to English but language after CC installation of Lightroom is still Swedish. Checking the language settings again after installation it was set to English. Now I uninstalled Lightroom using control panel to remove it completely and my intention was to reinstall it from CC. However, the application manager still claims that Lightroom is installed. How do I get the CC application manager to understand that lightroom is not installed and when I do reinstall it it should be in English?

This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod. The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked. I was very grateful.
Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem. The same backup to corrupt file was the message. The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error.
When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy. Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat. Any thoughts about doing the following?
1) creating a cloud backup
2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
This is the next thing on my list.
