Photoshop Elements 11 Installshield Wizard prompting UNinstall...?!?

I have spent 6+ hours installing, uninstalling, installing again, disconnecting firewalls, saving in personal drives... you name it, I have done it. And yet, after my installation, my shortcut is there, the extracted files all seem to be there but yet when I click on my shortcut (or even try going in the back way via the actual application), my Installshield wizard actually begins the promts to UNINSTALL the product. What is going on????
I have a 64 bit, Windows 7 and Kaspersky antivirus that is currently disabled.
Thanks

Sheena it sounds as if you are invoking the installer.  Have you tried navigating directly to the Program Files directory and opening it from there?

    Due to Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer I uninstalled the program.  When I re-installed Photoshop Elements 12 on the same computer the "Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe" file is not available.  I have tried loading Photoshop Elements 12 from the Adobe web site without success.

    The Elements 12 shortcut can't find the Elements12.0.exe file so the program will not load.  I can load the editor from its .exe file but not the organizer.

    Yes.

    However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
    When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
    Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

    Run the Photoshop Elements Installer again. If PSE exists on system it will first uninstall it.

  • Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 12 after accidental uninstall

    I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 12 earlier today. I accidentally uninstalled Photo Shop Elements 12. How do I reinstall it?

    How did you accidentally uninstall it? If you did so via control panel or the adobe uninstaller for mac, just download the trial and enter your serial number into that. It's a good idea to save the download for future use, not just run it.
    If you did something different, tell us what, because you have a bunch of cleanup work to do before you can reinstall.

  • How to deactivate the serial number for photoshop elements that is not installed or available?

    I have a version of Photoshop elements that has been uninstalled and is no longer available to reinstall.  When I uninstalled from an old computer, I failed to deactivate the serial number.  How can I do that without reinstalling?
    Thanks

    Wow, I tried the "chat" option and waited for 30 minutes....no one ever helped.....so I called a customer service number for the creative club option and they promised to put me though to someone who could deactivate my product.....waited another 30 minutes on hold.  So then I called the sales department and wow, just as I thought......someone took my call right away.  (Please note that the computer that the software I am trying to deactivate has been reformatted and I am unable to deactivate in that manner).  I asked the poor sales rep, why on earth would I spend hundreds of dollars for new software when the only people who you can get to help you are the sales people.  I think I will stick with free open source applications........this is so not worth it......

  • Photoshop elements 10 not opeining

    I can no longer open my Photoshop Elements 10.  I uninstalled and reinstalled but it still wont open.  I can get the organizer to open from files but need to get to editor but can't seem to open it anywhere

    if you are on MAC
    Remove the twain plug-in from the following location and copy it somewhere else :
    //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements /Optional Plug-Ins/ImportModules
    On windows:
    c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    Alternatively,
    Try resetting the PSE preferences by
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
       3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

  • Photoshop elements 12 for iMac printing undersize

    I have purchased Photoshop Elements 12 for iMac from Applestore and when I print a photo "actual size" the printout is only 93% of true size.
    I have tried to print to a Canon MP610 and a Canon MG5550 with the latest drivers installed and get the same result.
    If I print the photo from either the Apple iPhoto app. or from the Apple Preview app. the printout is the correct size.
    Just in case there was anything amiss with the photoshop Elements 12 installation I uninstalled the app. and reinstalled it and still prints are 93% of true size.
    I believe that Photoshop Elements 12 for iMac when purchased from Applestore is a special edition software.
    I am also running the latest release of Mavericks OSX operating systems for iMac.
    Any Ideas ?

    I do not believe this will help because the same thing happens with both of the printers I have and so think it is unlikely that both printers have the identical problem. I also draw your attention to an earlier reply to hatstead describing how the size reduction also applies to PDF files generated from the PSE print window. Also when an image is generated using PSE saved and then printed using another application such as Apples "Preview" the printout is printed the correct size. As mentioned earlier, the version of PSE 12 I am using is a special edition software exclusive to Apple iTunes app. store. This version does not have the photo management part of the software but includes more of the tools that come with the full photoshop version. This it has been tailored to work with Apple iPhoto. Please see iTunes app store for more info. This may mean in view of what you said that the issue may only exist in this version of the software.

  • How to uninstall/reinstall Photoshop elements 10 and Premier Elements 10

    I have purchased a copy of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 (bundled together 5 discs).  I've installed on my Windows 7 laptop beginning with disc 1 and then it hung up and I couldn't eject.  I was not prompted for any further discs.  I then read that I should've began the install with Disc 2 as I am installing on a Windows 7 computer.  I was wondering if I should uninstall what I have done so far and start over with a fresh install omitting disc 1 and beginning with Disc 2. Is this what I should be doing?   I have not connected to the internet and "activated" the product yet.  If I uninstall will I need to somehow remove the serial number and deactivate to preserve them for the re-install on the same computer.  I don't want to lose one of my licenses as I wish to install these programmes on my desktop as well.  Have read through many similar queries on these forums and have become pretty confused.  Hope someone can help.

    Thanks Jeff.  I will install from disc 2 but presumably first i need to uninstall my first attempt (from Disc 1).  However, will uninstalling the product use up one of the licenses as I would like to install on two computers and I don't want to use up both licenses on the same computer.  I have read on this forum about the need to de-activate the program before uninstalling but some clarification on what "de-activating" actually does would be welcome.  Could someone please confirm the steps I need to take to solve this problem.  As I understand it I need to 1) de-activate the first incorrect install (from disc 1), 2) uninstall the product and 3) re-install using disc 2 and then disc 4.  It seems discs 1, 3 & 5 are not needed for my install of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    Following these steps will use up one of my licenses (hopefully not both) and I can then install the programme on my desktop for my second license.
    Comments / suggestions welcome and appreciated.  Thanks

  • I had to uninstall my photoshop elements 9 and now Im trying to reinstall and its not working pls help!

    I had to uninstall my photoshop elements as I deleted a texture and now I am trying to reinstall its just comes up saying that the wizard is saying that it was interrupted and its not installing pls help

    Reneeb41086198 without a specific error I would recommend reviewing Troubleshoot installation | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows which discusses common installation troubleshooting processes.
    You may also want to consider evaluating Photoshop Elements 13 from Picture editor, edit pictures | Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as it was designed to install and function under Windows 8.1.  Windows 8.1 was not available when Photoshop Elements 9 was released.

  • How can I uninstall Photoshop Elements 10

    I've tried to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 but have had no success. I've uninstalled many programs so I know how it's done, but nothing works when I try to uninstall this program. Nealeh gave me some hints in another forum but I don't know how to use them.
    I have Windows 7 and went through the uninstall process several times. When it looks like the uninstall Wizard is finally going to do the job, I get this message: "To deactivate your application please connect to the Internet and try again or else continue without deactivating or cancel."
    I tried to uninstall with and without the Internet connection. Nothing works. There must be a straightforward way to get rid of this program.

    Hi Tommyvincent,
    In addition to Barbara please check via Help > Deactivate whether this option is grayed out or not?
    If it is then it can be because of the following reasons:
    It's a volume license serial number, which doesn't have a specific activation count--the Deactivate option is not applicable.
    The activation failed (silently) and the product is running without being activated--therefore deactivating is not possible.
    If none of these situations apply and Deactivate is still dimmed, contact Adobe Customer Service http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sumit Singh

  • Can't get Photoshop Elements 8 to Uninstall

    I recently bought Photoshop 10 and installed it - and thought like most programs, it would uninstall the old version.  It did not.
    So I went to control panel and uninstalled Photoshop Elements 8.  It went through the wizard but it is still there when I bring up the control panel.   When I click on it to uninstall again I get the message This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
    Additionally, all the Elements 8 folders are still present in Windows Explorer.
    I did this a week ago and have restarted but no luck.  How do I get 8 off?

    I would personally leave it installed but you can do it manually if you wish.
