Master Collection: Reinstall AE only?

I purchased the Master Collection, and upgraded to CS 6. Recently, I have been getting error messages when I try to launch. The dialog box suggest reinstalling AE. How do I reinstall After Effects only?

I found a solution in the forum. My situation matched.
I recently installed the latest version of Microsoft Office.
The system had moved the Verdana font family to the "Deactivated Fonts" folder for some unknown reason.
I moved the fonts to the "Activated Fonts" folder.
After Effects launched without any problems.
Thank you for your help!

Cant get CS6 Master Collection to Install! HELP!!!!!

Cant get CS6 Master Collection to Install. Migrated to a new Mac Pro 5,1 Single Quad Core 3.2, 32GB of Ram. CS6 Apps worked fine until I tried to launch Illustrator. Illustrator just hangs and finally have to force quit. Tried reinstalling it, and the intalller and uninstaller don't work. I've restarted as suggested...same thing. I've use the Adobe Cleaner...no luck. Downloaded the installer again and tried....no luck.
Bunch of errors starting with "DW051". All end with "has changed." I've called tech support and retried all the above...no luck. (Poorest customer support on the planet)
Attached is an image of the messages including the errors. Please help. I'm loosing my mind.

Thanks Manish-Sharma. I found solution on another post yesterday but I tried all the ways listed above again....no results though. The only progress I did make is that the installer does run and finish! Finally got this new result by placing the current Illustrator Folder from the Applications folder into the trash without deleting it. I launched the Master Collection installer and only selected Illustrator for the install. (All other apps work fine) It did install the new Illustrator application in the Applications folder. Then I launched Illustrator and the same thing happens. The icon starts bouncing in the dock, but that's it. No startup screen...nothing. After a few minutes I check and "Adobe Illustrator is not responding" so I have to force quit.
I was on the phone with Adobe support and established a case # 0183688527 yesterday. They had me do the things you've suggested and more with no results. Sent them an update on other methods I've tried last night. They're supposed to get back to you in 24 hours. 28 hours later.....Haven't heard a word from them.
Any more input is welcome. This really sucks.
Thanks again for your input

CS6 Master Collection Trial?

I downloaded and installed CS6 Master Collection Trial, but only Audition, SpeedGrade, Air Apple iOS support, Dreamweaver, and Acrobate X Pro installed. Flash Builder, Photoshop (64-bit), Premiere, Encore, After Effects, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Photoshop, Illustrator (64-bit), Firworks, InDesign, and Prelude did not install. There was an error summary that had literally 100's of different errors. What now?

You will want to review your installation logs to determine the errors you are receiving and what steps to perform to resolve those issues. You can find details on how to locate and review your installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

CS5 Student Editions-Master Collection

I know this is premature, but will Adobe offer the severely-discounted student edition for Master Collection CS5?
I know the CS4 MC wasn't available as a student edition, but I thought this might change with CS5. I would highly suggest Adobe make the complete suite available at their student discount since some students need the entire suite for their projects.
Thanks.

Yes, I am in the US. I apologize for not clarifying. There are, at least from what I'm seeing, two different education versions. There is an academic version and a student version. The academic version is discounted, but not as much as the student version, which comes direct from Adobe. For example, on AcademicSuperstore.com, for the Design Premium package, the academic version costs $599 while the college student version costs $399. From what I could tell, Master Collection CS4 was only available in the academic version. I hope things change for CS5 as I, a college student myself, could actually afford it at the Adobe student price.

Master Collection 6.0

I have an activation code from my university... I tried to download & install, but the interface has changed & now only displays individual apps.
I was also never asked for my product key- so only have a 30 day trail- how do I enter my key?
Cheers!
Emeric.

Maybe it is not a serial number for Master Collection, but so called "redemption code" for Creative Cloud. In this case you have to claim the code after signing in with your Adobe ID which you use for DPS, and then you will get individual access to all apps which belong to Master Collection, plus more, only availlable with CC. No serial number will be needed.

No single edition for master collection?

so, when i was deciding whether to buy the master collection and the creative cloud, i chose master collection CS6 because under “reasons to buy” its stated that toy can publish to the iPad , wish i could upload a sceenshot but there’s the link:
http://volumelicensing.adobe.com/store/adbevlus/en_US/pd/productID.249293600
check under “reasons to buy” / Access to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite
heres the full quote:
Access to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite
Access Adobe Digital Publishing Suite from within InDesign to publish engaging digital documents for a range of tablet devices. New Single Edition now available for publishing to iPad.
i just find a little frustrated to know that i bought the master collection and its only available to creative cloud subscriber, now when i call adobe they tell me “sorry, you have to upgrade to creative cloud.” my response is how can i upgrade and pay an extra $600 more when i already have the master collection. THIS is really frustrating and misleading. If i knew i would have returned it immediately and changed. How can i fix this? i cant be the only one going thru this.
i think adobe should at least come with a creative cloud membership for people who bought the licenses.

Sorry, don't know what to tell you. But no, I don't see a whole of people complaining about this.
People made their choice based on available information. On a positive you get to use CS6 pretty much forever while Creative Cloud members only get to use it for as long as they keep paying.
You can still move to CC at any time for $29.99/month for the first year. Paying for one SE app would be more then an entire year.

How can I download a program a month after I have installed CS6 Master Collection?

I bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection and installed only Photoshop and Illustrator.
A month later, I want to install InDesign, but when I download it through the download assistant; it is only a trial version.
How do I install the full version?

CS6 applications in Creative Cloud unexpectedly revert to trial mode

Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
Any other ideas?

Need help w Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro reinstall from CS4 Master Collection disks.

Hi all, I'm hoping that you can help me with something. This bug is costing me tons of time and frustration, so whoever can give me a walkthrough, step by step, of what to do, will be my favorite person of the year.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro that I installed originally from my CS4 Master Collection. This collection came as a set of physical disks.
Now, the problem is that, for the past couple of years, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has been super, duper buggy on my computer. For example:
- It won't let me install updates to it.
- It does weird things and gets stuck a lot.
- It likes to crash.
- It won't let me uninstall it. I tried to uninstall it, and I got an error message that says, "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller."
- I tried all kinds of things. I looked on the forums and took all the different kinds of advice. Same problems persist.
- The current version is 9.4.4. It hasn't let me update since then.
I am afraid to just delete the application, because word on the street is that doing that will mess up all your files. So I want to uninstall properly. I heard on the forums that reinstalling is the best way to go.
I finally found the CS4 disks that I used to install this (and my entire CS4) a few years ago. But now I'm not sure what to do next. These are my challenges:
- When I put in the first disk, it prompts me to reinstall the entire CS4. I'm not sure how to go in and reinstall just the Acrobat part of it.
- Adobe doesn't provide this as a download, so I can't download a new version. So the CS4 is my only option, I believe.
- If my current Acrobat 9 Pro is messed up like it is, what procedure should I follow so as to be able to replace the bad one with the good.
- Is this version of CS4 Master Collection disks known to have a buggy Acrobat on it? Will installing it not solve the problem?

I googled Acrobat 1301, and the Adobe help threads I read all recommended that I uninstall the application, so I did. I opened the uninstaller and went through the procedure.
But then I got the following message:
"Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller."
This is weird, because the create date and date modified are all the same for the Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe Uninstaller and Adobe Distiller in the folder. So how could it be not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller?

Need to Reinstall Photoshop CS 6 from Master Collection

Friends,

How can I reinstall Photoshop CS 6?

Reinstalling CS5.5 Master Collection, Installation Failed

I'm running
Mac OSX Mavericks (10.9.3)
Macbook Pro late 2012
Hi! I just yesterday reinstalled my computer's OS and restored files via backup, only to realize none of my applications survived the transition. Most of them are back now, with the exception of CS5.5 Master Collection. I was able to download the product and locate my serial number on my account, and thought all was well.
Not quite. Installation fails about 10 seconds in, with message to restart and try again. Restarting doesn't help.
I looked in the install logs and pulled out the following warning and error messages:

How to Uninstall / Reinstall Bridge as part of CS3 Master Collection?

Bridge is not in my Add/Remove programs. It is not listed as an item that I can uninstall or reinstall in the Master Collection setup program. I want to reinstall Bridge. It is pretty much unusable on my XP64 system since the last upgrade. But how can I reinstall it?

Well, Adobe may not want to call it a separate program, but from most litmus tests that I can think of, Bridge sure looks and acts like separate program.
My Bridge would start up no problem. And I had been changing the settings to find anything that might work. But what I had not done, until last night, was to go into the Camera RAW Preferences and change anything. I did this last night. I changed the location of the cache here and changed its size from 1GB to 8GB. This has appeared to have helped quite a bit. Bridge is still a tad sluggish (on a very fast machine with 8 logical processors and 8GB or ram), but it is usable again.
So one follow-up question is what is the difference between the "camera RAW Preferences" cache and the "Preferences" Cache?
My next follow-up question is why does Bridge say that it is finished loading thumbnails (via progress bar) for a particular folder only to restart later or on subsequent returns to the folder even after no changes have been made? This drives me crazy. Just when you think that its finished and you can have your CPU's back, it starts up again and hogs your processing power.

Reinstalling Photoshop With Master Collection Downloaded

Hello, I ran into an error unexpectedly that said Photoshop was missing files.I then uninstalled it and am now trying to figure out how to reinstall it.
I have a copy of the master collection and i just downloaded Photoshop again from the bridge. Do i have to use my master collection key for it to work? Or would i have to uninstall the entire master collection and download it all again?

It depends is your serial number for Master Collection? If so then you will need to install Photoshop through the Master Collection installer. You can customize your installation however so that only Photoshop installs.

Need help reinstalling indesign cs5 (master collection)

I want to know if I put in the original discs...does this override and reinstall the entire collection? Or is there a way to only reinstall this particular program. Also there is not one currently to uninstall?

Hi,
I am sorry but CS5 is not in sales anymore. If you wish you can go for Creative Cloud which will give additional software including Master Collection and many more features at a very cost effective price.
You can visit Adobe.com for further details.

Can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?

can I run adobe master collection in a windows partition on a basic mbp 13" with only the intel chipset?
I want to install 16 gb ram but I don't think I can change the lack of video card. I wanted this basic machine because it has fairly long battery life. I don't need or want retina at this time. My model is the mid 2012 model. I am running the adobe collection for mac, I want to run the windows versions. Is it possible? What is the most ram I could access using something like fusion 5, assuming I could get fusion 5 to work? would it refuse to run because of the intel chipset and lack of video card?
If I'm wrong and there is a way to add a video card to this model, could some version of fusion and windows 7 access more than 2 gb operating ram?
What cost would I be incurring, and would it be cheaper to buy a windows laptop with more ram than I could access via a virtual machine?
I want to work on a client's work in the windows versions of the creative suite, with occasional usage of after effects for windows, and to use some web plug-ins only available in windows versions, and to try some windows-only video and audio software.
thanks for any suggestions. While many people have told me I can run everything on my macbook, I am concerned about what I think is a limited amount of ram that can be accessed over the virtual machine partition softwares, and I don't know if what I want to attempt is actually possible.
My mbp os is 10.8.2 on a 2.5 GHz intel core i5 4 gb 1600MHz DDR3 with 500 hard drive. the basic 13" mid 2012 machine.
I'm hoping to install 16 G of opertating ram to allow more adobe programs to run concurrently- just when I am working on the mac side.
also, off track but, for years I have wanted a small machine that is more easily portable than my 15" machines. I have only had this used machine for a few weeks, but already I have been very satisfied and used it for presentations at clients. I don't want an air because I really want the dvd burner and player. No matter what apple says about wireless, there are decades of legacy work stored on optical discs all over the world, and I don't want to be unable to open something at a client's office because I don't have a dvd drive. Additionally, I have very large files I want to transfer via ethernet or firewire so that the transfer will take less time and be more secure than wifi. I resist apple's trend to make every machine a disposable toy that is viable only a year or so. I have read reviews that label the mbp it a poor value compared to the air. If all you need to do is text and communicate via wifi, many devices will sufice, and an air is certainly the most elegant. But what about the cost of large ssd's and protecting the drive against damage from shock? I want to be able to move this thing around and the small size is much safer inside my padded bag when I sit in narrow airplane seats, crowded trains and other congested spaces. I am much more likely to be able to borrow a large screen in a client's office ( with the use of one of the three adapters I had to buy) than to be able to borrow a dvd drive that has drivers for mac os 10.8.2. I suspect this may be the last generation of machines that have optical drives and ethernet, and that was why I purchased it so that I could continue to do work into the next few years. I am impressed by the retina display, but I need long battery life. And as beautiful as the retina display is, it is even more of a problem when trying to cross platform with the windows world. I wish I could infuence apple to do a trial product flow for a machine designed to work with 80% of the business world that uses windows. How spectacular that would be. With all their expertise and adept hardware design, to create a machine that cross platforms better than a windows machine itself works? Now that would be an accomplishment. Instead of 8 or 9 percent of the total computer sales, why not aim for a higher percentage? Smart devices will keep moving toward portable computers in power, anyway.

Fusion should work on your machine and if you put 16 GB of RAM in (see http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM), Fusion can access a good portion of that. Also, in a Virtual Machine, the guest OS is presented with Fusion's video card emulation, not what's in hardware on your Mac. Of course, finding Windows 7 now that Win 8 has been released could take some doing and the Win 8 Pro upgrade price is supposed to jump to $200 the end of the month. Add that to the price of Fusion and the extra RAM and you're beginning to get into the realm of low end real PC's.
As to cross platform, I assume you're aware of BootCamp (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461).
