Office 2004 Install and Photoshop Elements

Please forgive my total NOOB inquiry especially since I am an experienced Linux user. I have attempted to install Office 2004 onto a 1 month old MacBook. The disc mounts, I open it, and double click the Office setup assistant. The result every time is that Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 opens, and eventually fails with a can not open the file error. Why is Photoshop elements trying to open it? I also tried copying the entire Office folder to the applications folder (just to see what happens). When then trying to launch the individual Office apps, Photoshop Elements again launches. Please advise. I have googled this to death and found no one with a similar problem. Thx

I have basically the same assumption on file
associations with PhotoShop Elements. I'm
investigating two paths right now:
1. How to keep PhotoShop Elements from trying to
open this file type, even though it has no file
extension. I have yet to find where these file
associations are made. Time to read the manual. Is
it done through the App, or OS?
I think it would have to be the OS, but I don't know how you would make use of that info. The only way I know of is to examine thru the Get Info window. If you do a Get Info on the setup assistant, does it have the Open With section? If it knows it's an app, it doesn't even show that section. If it does have that section, it should let you change it from Elements to something else. You may also be able to uncheck the Hide Extension checkbox and see what extension it has.
2. I'm going to borrow someone else's Office 2004
install disc to see if the installer auto-launches
after mounting and double clicking on the disc. I've
found it odd that my current install disc doesn't
launch. Maybe, just maybe, I have a damaged disc.
Worth a shot.
Yes. I have Office v.X installed, not 2004. And I just copied it from my old Mac; it's been forever since I used an Office installer disc.

    What exactly means "refuses"?
    This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
    “We've encountered the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
    Get Adobe Support Advisor”
    OR
    on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
    “Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
    When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed.  Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

  • How to install Lightroom and Photoshop Elements from my old pc to my new pc?

    I have a new pc and want to install Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop Elements 12 from my old pc to the new one.

    For LR here is a useful link:
    http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/
    There is also a video tutorial which covers moving a LR catalog to a new computer:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-migrate-lr-to-an other-computer/
    For Elements you can simply install the application and then set up the Elements Editor for external editing in the LR Library prefs. I’m assuming you won’t be using Oranizer as well as LR. That can lead to confusion and broken links unless you are very disciplined.
    If you do intend to use Organizer the method is backup and restore, starting with an Organizer backup on the old PC.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop elements 10 on my iMac gets hung up at 9% and fails to complete.

    I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner which included a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  whenever I try to install Elements 10 on my iMac, it hangs up at 9% and doesn't complete.  I am using the correct Adobe disk for Mac.  What can I do to get this program installed on my iMac.

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements, I bought recently, on my two different computers; one is PC running Windows 7 and the other is iMac running Mac OS 10.6?
    Yes, PSE is cross-platform, anyway.
    As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version'  of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
    You just buy a normal license as a download, if you so desire. This gives you a serial and a download option, the latter of which you then of course will not need and can simply input the serial in your disc install.

  • Im trying to re-install Adobe photoshop elements and it says failure to install

    I would like to say that your customer Service is the absolute worst I have ever spoken to... I am having trouble re-installing my photoshop elements 4.0 on my computer. I just used it yesterday and went to re-install it today because my computer had to be restored to factory settings. I waited 10 min and the phone hung up on me. I called back and waited 30 min and then hung up because it was taking so long. Then called back, complained to the first rep, he transferred me to another rep who transferred me and I waited 52 min for a CSR to tell me that I need to go to forums.com. This is terrible..what is there job if they are just referring people to a forum. I would love to download 12.0 at some point but I do not have the funds at this time and the 4.0 will get the job done, but it will not let me download. I need this asap for my job. I am wasting valuable time from my job and kids w/ computer problems.
    Thanks

    A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)
    Read how to format the drive in Disk Utility here

    Hi,
    Did the serial number come from a boxed set and previously installed from disc and are you now trying to install from a download?
    If so, that will not work - the serial numbers are different.
    If you don't have a dvd drive on your new system, perhaps you could get someone to copy your disc to a memory stick and install from that.

    1) Apps are not part of the backup, only data stored by 3rd party apps. But you can redownload the apps for free again if you use the same account you did when you bought them the first time. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    2) See this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 and find out what's in your backup.
    3) Backup your itunes+ library (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751), which will copy your Mobile Applications folder, and save your iphone backup folder as well
    In other words, maintaining a backup of your computer is essential.
    When you resync your apps from your computer to the phone, make sure your computer is authorized again. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
