Photoshop CS6 Beta install failing on Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit)

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit). I am unable to install the Photoshop CS6 beta version. When I launch the setup.exe file, the "Initializating Installer" dialogue box appears, however as soon as it finishes loading the dialogue box closes and nothing happens after that. If I try to relaunch the setup, it prompts me by saying that another setup is in progress. Could you please help me in this regards?

Hi Pragya,
I have done so several times as well. In fact, I just tried it a couple of minutes back, still the installed initializes and disappears like nothing happened. In the mean while I have restarted my machine a number of times.
Can anyone help me with this issue, as i really wanna try the new CS6? Its really annoying.
Thanks!

  • Cannot install iTunes in windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

    My system is: Custom built AMD Phenom Quad-core processor 2.50GHz 16.0gb memory 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS
    I have tried the newest version of iTunes and the one just prior, same problem with both. I have also tried all the detailed and sometimes complex uninstall, delete, repair and reinstall procedures listed in the forums here and on other sites, cleaning registry and cleaning cookies. Deleted all apple products with three different file cleaning programs. Deleted anything even remotely related to apple products and turning off any services related to apple. I have tried installing each file independantly in a variety of suggested order giving administrator privileges to all the files. I am the system administrator with full adnimistrator privileges.
    The installation response in every case is as follows;
    An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu
    this is shown with two options Retry which gives the same result instantly or cancel which rolls back the installation entirely.
    In one instance I was able to install the 64 bit version of a fresh installed OS on another hard drive on my system. But that system is for a test bed and I have no plans to use it on a regular basis.
    I have spent roughly 35 hours on this and finally had to install another program to deal with my music files but I still would like to solve this problem. This appears to be a common problem based on all the questions and complaints that I have read lately both here and elsewhere. I am not sure why apple has not adequately addressed this, at least in the newest version of iTunes

  • I manually uninstalled Photoshop CS6 Beta, and now Photoshop CS6 won't install.

    Before I read the FAQ on how to properly uninstall the Photoshop CS6 Beta, I uninstalled it manually (by dragging it into the Trash on Mac OS X), and now when installing the CS6 Master Collection, Photoshop appears with an [!] that says "a conflicting or prerelease version of Photoshop CS6 is present on this computer. This must be removed before the installation can continue." I've tried deleting every file I can find with "Photoshop" in it, but to no prevail. What can I do?

    I'd just add a line under:

    to check Applications/Utilities/...
    for the other uninstaller.

  • FAQ: Do I need a serial number to install the Photoshop CS6 Beta?

    No. When you begin the Photoshop CS6 beta installation process, you will be presented with a Welcome Screen. To install the Photoshop CS6 beta, simply select the option labeled "Try. I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS6 for a limited time." Do not select the option labeled "Install. I have a serial number."
    You will however, need to log in using your Adobe ID to activate the software for use beyond 7 days.

    How do I activate the Photoshop CS6 beta?

    B&Wilson how many computers are you intending to use Photoshop on?  What specific version of Photoshop are you installing?

  • FAQ: What if I do not have Internet access at the time I install the Photoshop CS6 beta?

    If you are temporarily offline during the installation process, you have a seven-day grace period after first launch of the beta during which you can connect to the Internet and perform the activation. You cannot activate the Photoshop CS6 beta on a computer that is permanently offline.

    Migrating Presets does not require a network connection and you can still migrate your cc presets if you still have CC installed.  Use Photoshop menu Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets...  Migrating presets only migrates presets.  It does not migrate Plugins, settings, extensions and scripts.  CC 2014 is also not completely backwards compatible with CC.  Support for Flash Panels and Oil Painter filter have been removed.  So extensions like mini bridge no longer work in CC 2014

  • Improper Photoshop CS6 beta uninstall prevents Photoshop CS6 release version install

    I installed Photoshop CS6 beta on my Mac, OS 10.6.8. Once I purchased and went to install CS6, the installer informed me to uninstall the beta version of Photoshop, but didn't say how, or that there was a catch. I went and uninstalled Photoshop CS6 beta bny dragging it to the trash. OOPS! - now the release version won't install, and I can't find anyhting on the Adobe website other than private messages from Adobe employees to specific users with the same problem as to how to rectify the issue.
    Aside from venting my frustration at a situation I (and others have found ourselves in that could have been prevented by a little better planning and installer design, I'd really appreciate help in rectifying this state of affairs. It looks from other Forum posts like there is a tool or procedure that cvan be used to make the install work. Thanks in advance -
    Michael Bade

    Look for, download and run the CSClean Script from the Adobe site.

  • Is it necessary to remove the Photoshop CS6 Beta before installing the trial?

    I installed the CS6 Design and Web Premium trial while I wait for my ordered update disk to arrive.  I have the PS CS6 Beta installed and I note that the trial installation did not install CS6 Photoshop or CS6 Bridge.  ????????????

    In the future please remove beta software prior to installing released versions of the software.  Presently I would recommend you uninstall not only the Photoshop CS6 beta but also the Design and Web Premium trials as well.  Once the software has been removed, including the beta, you can then try the reinstall again.
    Hopefully it will be as simple as this but if not please feel free to respond to this thread with any additional difficulties which arise.

    Yes, both Photoshop CS6 beta and the Lightroom 4 beta can be installed and used together on the same system. However, the Lightroom 4 beta expires on 3/31/2012. If you want to try the Photoshop CS6 bta and Lightroom 4 together, download the 30-day trial of the official release of Adobe Lightroom 4.

  • FAQ: What are the known issues so far in Photoshop CS6 Beta

    APPLICATION  COEXISTENCE
    Lightroom 4 Beta + Photoshop CS6 beta -- Editing the same video file simultanously in both applications may result in an error, crash, or blank (transparent) frames. You might see this Photoshop error: "Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder".
    This will only be an issue with Lightroom 4 beta and Photoshop CS6 beta on the same system, editing the same video. The released versions will not have this issue.
    Workaround: Upgrade to LR Release version (even if it's just the trial), or don't open the same file in both apps at the same time.
    CS5 Help fails to launch after install of CS6
    Workaround: Launch the stand alone "Adobe Help" application or reinstall CS5
    CROP
    Crop action shows wrong crop box.Playing an action with a crop step that has dialogs turned on results in a crop box that covers the entire canvas instead of the expected area.
                    Workaround: Ensure that the Crop Tool is selected before running the action or disable dialogs for the action.
    FILTERS
    (32bit OS only) Initial "Merge to HDR Pro" image display and result is black until settings are changed
    Workaround: It will remain black until droplist in the "mode" line is selected, changed and activated, then action appears to be normal.
    Bokeh color is different from preview after render at certain zoom levels on particular image patterns
    Workaround: View image at 100%
    Lighting effects bump map generates artifacts if an alpha channel bump map is used. The resulting preview and final image is artifacted across the gradiated areas of the alpha channel.
                   Workaround: Do not use a gradiated alpha channel as a bump map
    Liquify will perform the filter and save to just part of the photo if you click cancel while it is "finishing processing" a large file.
    LAYERS
    If a vector layer has a center-aligned stroke combined with an inside-aligned layer style stroke, then that vector layer's stroke may not display correctly -- part of the vector layer stroke will disappear as the layer is moved around the image.
    Workaround: Use the "Path Selection Tool" to move your vector around -- alternatively, Change the stroke alignment or remove underlying layers.
    Dragging a selection box while layer filters are applied stops marquee selection from following cursor movement
    Workaround: Even though the graphic of the selection marquee stops, the selection still happens. OR Turn off layer filtering before targeting the layers using a selection box
    TYPE
    Editing text attributes in the Character panel when the layer is locked can result in a crash
    Workaround: Unlock your text layer prior to attribute adjustments in the Character panel
    Setting the menu type>font>preview size to "huge" after opening a saved file caused photoshop to crash
    Workaround: Uncheck Background save in Photoshop CS6
    Style by example or definition not working as expected:
    If any attribute in the Paragraph Panel is set and you create a new Paragraph Style, the new style is based on the default and the override is not cleared.
    DRAWING AND PAINTING
    Paint is offset with Grip Pen- if you select the Soft Low Density Airbrush Preset with Grip Pen paint with swicth facing right with a high tilt towards you the cursor shows the spray should be going up, but it sprays down.
    3-D
    Creating a video timeline and rendering video from two 3D layers may not include ground plane reflections
    Workaround: Use mesh for ground plane instead of 3D engines construct, or duplicate the file and remove the keyframes
    Creating a New background texture after changing lighting presets results in crash
    Workaround: Create the New background texture prior to adjusting lighting presets
    Unable to create a constraint on extruded object with Pillow Inflate setting applied. Further actions may result in Photoshop instability or crash.
    Photoshop may crash when trying to align/distribute constraints from selections of two 3-D extruded objects
    Photoshop may not always save a texture when you paint directly onto the 3d object using Paint on Target Texture setting.
    Photoshop may crash when selecting a different panel filter after the focus has been on 2 fields in the environment flyout with IBL map present
    Photoshop may crash after embedding a 3D layer into a layer group, creating a new 3d object in the group, and then closing the document.
    When changing the color of the lines or points in the 3D scene cross section from the Properties panel, side b color overwrites the color in side A.
    Program Error when adjusting fill value in Layers panel while in Lighting Effects workspace.
    Workaround:You will have to use opacity slider instead of fill slider to pull back the lighting effect
    PLUGINS
    DUPLICATE PLUGINS CAUSE ISSUES ON MAC:
    If you install duplicate plugins or point the additional plugins folder preferences to a duplicate set of plugins (such as, to an older version of Photoshop), then it is possible for odd Photoshop behavior, such as an inappropriate file extension to appear when saving files.
    (example: while performing a "save as"  to JPEG file type, the file format appears to change to .dcm)
    In this case, there may be a duplicate "file formats" plugin that's populating the Save As file types list with duplicates of the same options.
    If there are duplicate file format plugins installed, the Mac OS will remove the duplicates from the list, but you may still see the odd saving behavior.
    Solution:
    Remove the duplicate plugins.
    If you are not sure if you have this issue, but are seeing odd behavior, you can check for duplicates by looking through the plugins listed in the Help > System Info dialog.
    Bridge
    Unable to Copy and Paste in File info in Bridge
    Workaround: Typing info in Manually works, or copy and paste work in Photoshop's File Info dialog
    Install
    Adobe Setup Utility may quit, or error during install. You may see error: "Exit Code: 15"
    Workaround: Create a folder named 'Templates' at "<Windows drive>:\Users\<current user login id>\AppData\Roaming\Micorsoft\Windows\"
    Message saying trial of PS CS6 beta expired,Content coming soon, stay tuned.
    Workaround: re-launch photoshop CS6 beta. This issue should not happen anymore

    1. You can get full support for your camera by upgrading to Lightroom 4. But personally, I would wait for Lightroom 5 since it will be released shortly, probably within the next month. Lightroom 5 will work with Photoshop CS5. The only difference is that Lightroom will need to create a TIF or PSD file that contains all the changes you have made in Lightroom. That's not a big deal, in my opinion. That file has to be created at some point anyway whenever you use Photoshop.
    2. Yes, Lightroom 4 will pass images back and forth between it and Photoshop.
    3.  The upgrade would not break Lightroom 3. It would essentially work the same as it does with your current setup.
    4. If you purchase CS6 it is my understanding you will be allowed to use it indefinitely. This is not true of the Creative Cloud version. Support and updating for additional cameras will cease for CS6. Adobe has announced that they will make Camera Raw 8.1 so that it can be usable with CS6 as far as reading Lightroom adjustments. But any new controls will not be accessible.
    5. So far, Adobe has indicated that they have no plans to making Lightroom a subscription-only offering.
    You are asking your questions as though you are addressing Adobe directly. This is a User-to-user forum. I don't work for nor do I speak for Adobe. I am only giving you the information as I understand it. It seems to me that upgrading to Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 is a "safe" choice. None of us, not even Adobe, really knows what the future will bring. Technology changes so quickly anymore that everything we are doing right now could be obsolete in a matter of a very short period of time. As Adobe changes their marketing strategies I think it will probably motivate some people to look elsewhere. I have Photoshop CS6 and I'm going to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Then I will have to wait and see what develops after that. At any rate, I have tools that I can use for the foreseeable future. If I have to change at some point then I will do so.
