LR5 won't install in specified folder

I have a custom folder setup as my default installation folder in my Adobe Application Manager but Lightroom 5 won't install there. Instead, it just installs in the default folder that all Adobe applications do, which is Program Files/Adobe/. All my other applications install in the folder I've specified but LR5 doesn't.
I've updated the Adobe Application Manager and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner but I'm not able to get it installed where I want. Any thoughts or suggestions?

This is what I did to solve the problem:
1. Install Lightroom 5 from Application Manager.Run the Program.
2. Go to Help - System Info and copy the serial number (save in a file).
3. Uninstall Lightroom 5 - there were 2 entries 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5' and 'Lightroom 5'.- uninstall both.
4. Download and install the trial, specifying the folder that you want to intall it in.
5. Run the program and paste the serial number previously copied when asked.
It should not have needed this - something as basic as this should not have been missed and makes me really worry about Adobe's testing procedues. What shold have been a few minutes work took far too long to do, not including all the work to find a solution.

  • Lr5 won't install on my mac

    Cs6 has uploaded fine, Lr5 won't it just keep saying .... "you are running an operating system lightroom no longer supports ...i'm on a mac and have L4 installed now and working fine
    thanks

    The oldest version of the Mac operating system LR 5 will install & run on is 10.7
    So if you wanted to use LR 5 you’d need to update your operating system first. I know it's a pain, but at least it’s no big expense. Before you go ahead you’d also need to determine whether your Mac will run the current version 10.8 – you can check that here…

  • LR5 won't install on mac ox10.6.8

    bought into the cloud for photographers. Photoshop cc loaded just fine and works great. Lightroom 5 will not install. tried safe mode, creating a root user. still not installing. Shouldn't be this difficult.

    saw my answer on another question of the same problem. Lightroom 5 needs Mac OS 10.7.  My current 10.6.8 won't do it.

  • RSAT won't install on Windows 8.1 Pro - "The system cannot find the file specified."

    Please help. RSAT won't install on Windows 8.1 Pro. Every time I try, I get the same error - "The system cannot find the file specified.". I really don't want to have to refresh the PC to get it working! I've installed the update successfully on
    a fresh win 8.1 enterprise install on a Hyper-V VM.
    I am in uk, so have installed the en-US language pack first. I did have a windows component store corruption but I've managed to fix that.
    event log says:
    Windows update "Update for Windows (KB2693643)" could not be installed because of error 2147942402 "The system cannot find the file specified." (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe"

    As Roger Lu reported, the log indicates that there is corruption in the update files that you downloaded. The log actually reports “file not found”, so you may also want to check permissions on the extracted files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\76ecaa86ec6712300c2d71cbcdad378c\.
    You can also re-try downloading the files to see if your original download was just corrupt.

    It was a permissions issue! Thanks so much Bruce!
    I checked the permissions for the folder mentioned above and TrustedInstaller only had List Folder Contents and Special Permissions. So I granted granted Read & Execute to TrustedInstaller and tried installing again...
    1) double clicked the installer.
    2) once it said Initialisation was complete, I checked the permissions again and it had re-set them to as before, so I granted Read & Execute to TrustedInstaller again
    3) Installation was successful.
    Not really sure why this happened as it doesn't make sense but it's working now :-)

  • Why ni488225.exe won't install the Language Support folder on my laptop?

    I am trying to install ni488225.exe on my Vista OS laptop.  Usually the driver will install the Language Support folder so that you can include the .h and link the .obj file to your program.  But for some reason, after running the ni488225.exe driver, it won't install the folder.

    Good Afternoon WestRace,
    I installed ni488225.exe on a clean image of Vista 32 Business.  I attached a screenshot of the results of a search I ran for "language support."  It appears to have installed the files about which you inquired.  Do you have any other Vista machines on which you could install this driver?

  • Specified Folder is Not Writable

    Since installing the 1.1 upgrade I get an error when trying to export to my My Pictures folder. (Specified Folder is Not Writable). I've seen a comment on the web stating that 1.1 has a problem writing to folders with a custom icon. I haven't changed the icon. Any suggestions?

    Yes, and that works but I've always done it this way and suddenly it doesn't work. When exporting I browse to the My Pictures folder and then type in the name of the folder in the blank below the browse.
    It now won't let me browse to My Pictures. Makes no sense.

  • Move mail attachment to specified folder - problem

    Hi,
    I am busy making a script that downloads the mail attachments to a specified folder so that Hazel can work further on the files.
    Here is what i am trying to achive:
    Only Jpg, Tiff, Doc, Docx, mp3's and PDF's are moved to a folder called: Mail Attachments in the downloads folder and renamed with a prefix to the the date email was send. For Hazel to work correctly i also want to add the senders headers to the spotlight comment.
    So far all went well and i got a script working that does all these things.
    Only problem that is occuring now that images are duplicate twice in the folder:
    first file as i want: i.e. 20130711_RTP_1846.jpg and the second file is only named 2013 with no extension aswell.

    What strange is, that if i take out the part where the comment is filled with the header info, the script works fine producing only 1 file, but when i added this part of the script, i have the two files!
    Script is activated by a mail rule when mail has an attachment.
    Here a screenshot with the two images:
    Hope someone can help me, to tell me what i did wrong.
    Grt,
    Rob

    The problem is subtle, but noticable in your screenshot (that was a stroke of genius).
    Look closely at your screenshot. Note the file details below the image and you'll see the Name label:
    "2013
    07
    11_130711RTP_1846.jpg"
    Do you see the issue? It's not that the file is called '2013', it's called the entire expected file name, but with returns between the date elements. The problem is that return characters don't show in list view.
    So why are the returns there?
    That's because in the section of code where you build the comments you include the line:
                                            set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
    Then you build the file name:
                                                                set originalName to timeStamp & "_" & name oftheAttachment
    Now the file name is technically a list of components (think of it as {originalName, timeStamp, "_", 130711RTP_1846.jpg} )
    When this list is coerced back to a text object, AppleScript inserts the current text item delimiters between each element, which results in your multi-line filename.
    The solution is actually a best practice when dealing with text item delimiters - always, always, always reset them when you're done.
    In this case you only want to have returns in the comment, so you should restore the TIDs after you've built the comment:
    set tid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
    set _Comment to (_links as rich text)
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tid
    Now the TIDs will be set back to the default and you won't have the extraneous returns in the file name.

  • I am trying to install Mavericks on my McbookAir, but it won't install, saying that my hd is used for time machine backups. I have an external HD connected to my mbAir that I'm using for time machine.

  • 24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

    I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
    First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
    A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
    I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
    So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
    So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
    Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
    I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
    The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
    I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
    I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
    I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
    So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
    I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
    I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
    So to sum up:
    I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
    I have replaced the ram
    I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
    I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
    The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
    I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
    The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
    Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
    Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

    Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
    I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
    And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 200 276nw won't scan to network folder in 10.8.4

    HP Laserjet  Pro 200 276nw won't scan to network folder on either Macbook or MAcBookAir running 10.8.4. Everything works normal scanning to network folder on  iMac G5 running 10.6. All other functions work normally--printing, printing from iOS device, scan to e-mail, scan to USB drive, scanning from Preview, scanning Sys Prefs Print and Scan, etc)
    Installed latest firmware, HP Utility, and all Apple updates but still won't scan to network folder on a computer running 10.8.4.
    Any ideas are much appreciated.

    Thanks for the thought, but yes, I did register the folder with the printer. When I register the folder there is a 'Save and Test' button to see if the printer is able to communicate with the folder. When i click it, I get an error message--forget exact wording--but it says to check that the file path and name are correct.
    Even though the test failed, the folder is listed in HP Utility and also shows on the printer's screen as a network folder. However, when I attempt to scan to it, it fails and gives an error message very similar to the one from the 'Save and Test'.
    Other than this mode not working (apparently broken with the update to 10.7), I like the printer. Agree that HP ought to solve the problem for the current OS and currently shipping products.
    No, it is not a 2013 MacBook Air.

  • "Add-On Software" CD for LV6.1 won't install.

    Following NI Forums Knight Dan Knutson's advice to install a LV version earlier than 8.5 in order to convert 40 VIs written in LV5.1 to LV8.5.1, I attempted to install LabVIEW 6.1. There is a CD that won't install. It is the "Add-On Software" LV6.1 CD. The CD does not autoinstall when it's put in the CD drive. When I right-click the Autorun > Install icon, the installer returns, "Error. Installation failed." The CD has LabVIEW, and Measurement Studio folders, an autorun setup information file and and Eagle icon. There is no setup.exe on the installation CD main directory. Could anyone please suggest how to install the LabVIEW and Measurement Studio folders?
    I tried to go into the individual sub-folders of the "Add-On Software" CD, but when I reached LabVIEW\Enterprise\SPC\Install\disk1\ and click Setup.exe, I get "Setup Installation Error. Setup has detected that UnInstallShield is in use. Please close UnInstallShield and restart Setup. Error 432." Running MSCONFIG to remove isUninst.exe from the Startup folder fails because no IsUninst.exe application runs on startup, rebooting does not help, it's not an Administrator issue because my account already has Administrator privileges, and searching the Internet does not give useful clues.
    Could an expert please solve either of these two problems?
    Thanks,

    Hello All,
    I may be confused on the topic of a Compact RIO integrated with LabVIEW version 5.1? Version 5.1 pre-dates the release of Compact RIO hardware. The Compact RIO platform uses neither NI-DAQmx, nor the Traditional NI-DAQ driver, it is built on a separate driver platform in NI-RIO. May I inquire as to why version 8.5.1 was selected for the upgrade process, and not the latest version in 2009 SP1? 
    As you may have experienced already, the process of upgrading across 10 releases of the LabVIEW development environment may present issues, as the environment has been significantly changed through the years. For additional information on the upgrade process please see the following information:

    More realistically, does this application contain highly customized code, or functions, that are not integrated into the newer platform? With regard to hardware integration, if you intend on working with the Compact RIO platform, you will be working to develop brand new code using the LabVIEW Real-Time (and possibly LabVIEW FPGA) Module, as any code written in LabVIEW 5.1 will not support the Compact RIO platform. With respect to any additional hardware that may have been used, you will need to verify the device support in either the NI-DAQmx or Traditional DAQ releases, this information can be found at http://www.ni.com/support. I believe time spent developing on a supported platform, for the new hardware set, may be more effective than looking to directly upgrade the 5.1 code.
    Please post any additional questions you may have.

  • Latest Firefox (23.0.1) won't install

    Firefox crashed (not uncommon) so I went through the restart routine.
    It decided to install the latest version, got as far as "Checking Compatibility of Add Ons" and sat with the 'scanning green bar' sliding happily grpm end to end.
    After 6 hours I gave up, did a CTRL-Alt-Del and it said it wasn't responding when I tried to close it.
    tried several times, all with the same result.
    I Googled "Firefox won't install" and ended up deleting the Firefox folder in Program files (there go my add ons and everything else), manually downloaded, manually started the install...
    Exactly the same result...!!!

    Troubleshooting Information doesn't work as I'm having to use Chrome...

    I'm getting very confused (but I'm in my 60s and am not a techie, so maybe it's to be expected...
    I can't "Cancel the operation of checking the plugins" as the CANCEL button does nothing. The only way I can do that is with Windows Program Manager, where it tells me that it's "Not Responding" so I "End Task" and finally it shuts down.
    If I then run the Profile Manager, absolutely nothing happens...
    "If the Profile Manager window does not open, Firefox may have been running in the background, even though it was not visible. Close all instances of Firefox or restart the computer and then try again."
    As far as I can see, at this point in the proceedings, Firefox isn't running - it's not showing anywhere and I have no idea how to find it if it is 'in the background'.
    I'd really like to retain the Bookmarks and Passwords, and probably some other things I don't understand, if I can (it's an old age/memory problem - all the important birthdays were in ReminderFox for example), so I have created a backup copy of the profiles folder on a memory stick in hope...
    Within Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uxbwtgou.default, there are five extensions files - extensions.ini, extensions.log, extensions.rdf, extensions.sqlite and extensions.sqlite-journal...
    Do I delete all of these?
    Thanks
