Photoshop elements 11 won't install

I bought photoshop elements 11 about a year ago, my computer went wrong and I had to restore it, now I can't get it to install but I can't uninstall either as it says I need to complete installation. Can someone please tell me what to do. I tried to find a phone number to contact Adobe but it just directed me to this forum.

Photoshop Elements won't install on Windows 8

First & foremost, I'm incredibly irritated that my Photoshop Elements 6 won't install on my new Windows 8 laptop. (I did the right thing: uninstalled from the old laptop before wiping the drive to get it ready for resale.) And now, instead of getting true & real support from Adobe, I'm directed to a user Forum. BS! Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE consumer support!!!! I will NEVER AGAIN purchase an Adobe product. Of course, this is no slam against other Adobe users on the Forum - it's just that Adobe needs to take a stronger ownership of its problems - they should NOT let all of us swirl around and find answers to their problems.

Photoshop Elements 6 is ancient software. It may or may not run under Windows 8. I am sure you could have paid for customer technical support for your issue, but it might be that you still would have been told that it was not compatible or that it was a untested combination. Adobe stops giving installation support on older versions after the new version comes out. If you post in the Photoshop Elements forum you may find other users that have or have not been able to install Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows 8. You were actually given great support to visit the forums, since our collection of users have much more experience than many people that work in Adobe Technical Support.

Photoshop Elements won't install on Windows 8 - Error must have IE 4.0 or higher

When I try to install Photoshop Elements 1.0.1 on a Windows 8 64 bit computer, it says I must have IE 4.0 or higher and I have IE 10 installed. How do I get Photoshop Elements 1.0.1 to install.

Microsoft advises that all versions of PSE except versions 1, 3, 5 & 6 will work with Windows 8.
Microsoft Windows 8 compatibility.

Photoshop Elements won't install

Had an older computer with Photoshop Elements installed on it. The computer bit the dust, and a new one was purchased.
I have tried loading up PE from the original CD, but when it starts to load, a window opens up labeled "Severe" with the message that Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater is required, and the installation aborts. The version of IE that is running on the computer is the most recent, well above 4.0!
The version of Photoshop Elements is not indicated on the box or the CD or the User Guide! The copyright date on the User Guide is 2001. I don't know if this is the first version of Elements or not.
Any ideas why I cannot load the program onto the new computer? (Running Windows 7 Home Premium)

As long as your hard drive doesn't have more than 1 TB of free space, you can unistall internet explorer 10 by
going to Start>Control Panel>Programs>View installed updates, find Windows Internet Explorer 10 on the list, click on Unistall and then restart windows 7.
(after a system restart that should revert to Internet Explorer 9)
Install photoshop elements 1, go to Windows Updates, check for updates and install Internet Explorer 10.

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

I have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP. Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc. Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors). I'm not trying to pirate these programs. Just want to reinstall them.

you need,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a, or Windows Millennium
Microsoft Windows 98/Millennium/2000/NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a required)

Can you download a 32 bit installer for photoshop elements 12 to install on a 64 bit system (windows 7)

can you download a 32 bit installer for Photoshop elements 12 to install on a 64 bit system (windows 7). Thanks in advance

yes, if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Do you need to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12?

Is it best to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12 or not?
If so, how do you save and transfer all Albums, Folders and Tags?
If not, do they transfer automatically?
Thanks,

Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12? I just upgraded from 10 to 12 and wanted to know if it is safe or if there would be any issues with uninstalling and removing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

Yes you can, if you are happy with the way PSE12 is running.
However both apps will happily co-exist, and there is no duplication as both use the same images on your hard drive.
PSE10 also has some features now removed from PSE12 as Adobe transitions towards 64 bit applications. See my PSE12 first look link:

Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install.
... Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.

I'd like to download Premiere Elements 11, but with this kind of installation problem on PSE11, it seems a second program may be as much of a problem to try to install.

As Mylenium has stated all we have is a very general error message at this point so it is impossible to advise you until we have additional details.

If you click the link in my first post in this thread, then click "still need help? Contact us" it takes you to a page that looks exactly like the page where you started, but isn't.

Photoshop Elements 4 to install

I've got a 17" iMac 1,83Ghz Intel Core Duo and running Tiger 10.4.10 and want to get Photoshop Elements 4 to install, but the specifications on the adobe and apple website say that it requires a minimum G4 processor, and Intel processors require Rosetta? Can anyone help? Do I need to buy Rosetta, can I use Photoshop Elements on my iMac without it?

Welcome to the discussions, nirof. It should install just fine, but you may need to create a new account to use for the install. Try with your regular admin user account first, and if you have a problem create a new admin user, install, then delete the new account.

Photoshop elements 11 not installing in windows 7 x32

photoshop elements 11 not installing in windows 7 x32
downloads ok then on install it gets to almost the end and a message appears can not continue and it uninstalls itself.

Hello, thank you for your prompt reply. I have downloaded v12 of Photoshop Elements and installed to my Win 7 x64 machine and its working like a charm. Perhaps v11 did not like the spec of my x32 machine.
Thank you again from a satisfied customer.
Regards William.

Can you list your computer hardware specs.? Special attention needs to be paid to the I/O (Input & Output), or the HDD's (Hard Disk Drives), their size, speed, amount of free-space, etc.Are you attempting to do the installation to the default location, or to a custom location? Good luck, and let us know a bit more please.

Photoshop Elements refusing to install

I bought PhotoShop Elements 9 a couple of years ago, and use it on the same computer all the time. However, I have been having a lot of trouble with my computer recently and have had to re-format it about six or seven times recently. Now, I find that Photoshop Elements will not install at all. It gets to the stage of installing the Shared Technologies and then stops, and uninstalls itself.

Welcome to the discussions, nirof. It should install just fine, but you may need to create a new account to use for the install. Try with your regular admin user account first, and if you have a problem create a new admin user, install, then delete the new account.

Photoshop Elements 11 Silent install not that silent

Hi,
After following the Silent Install Instructions here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-element s-1.html it still is not fully silent.
As mentioned in the KB article you need to create a application.xml.override file that is said to supress the Eula but it still shows up.
The actual install of the software is silent but on first start it shows the ElementsOrganizer EULA then makes you select a Country/Region and then shows the Photoshop Elements 11 EULA.
Is there any way that we can supress both of the EULA's and automatically mark Australia as the Country/Region??

@99jon,
That did help out alot. In the end I added Country=12 on to the end of my install command which is the country code for Australia.
I also added in another line in to both of the application.xml.override file which supressed the EULA's
<Data key="EULA">Suppress</Data>
I also used this method for a silent uninstall which might help other users
Uninstall PSE-10 in silent mode
Open the command prompt in the administrator mode.
(Windows XP) Choose Start > Run. Enter cmd in the Run window, and press OK.
(Windows 7 and Windows XP) Click Start (Windows-Logo), and type "cmd". Press [Shift]+[CTRL]+[ENTER].
Run the following command to uninstall Photoshop Elements.Verify that the Photoshop Elements 10 folder has been removed from the Program Files folder after running the command.
start /wait Msiexec /x { EE549AF9-8FAA-4584-83B2-ECF1BC9DC1FF} NOT_STANDALONE=1 /qn
After the uninstallation is complete, run the following command to uninstall Elements Organizer. Verify that the Elements 10 Organizer folder has been removed from the Program Files folder after running the command.
start /wait Msiexec /x {22D3A614-482C-444A-932C-9DA1B8ECDFD2} NOT_STANDALONE=1 /qn
After Elements Organizer has been uninstalled, run the following commands to uninstall STIs (ACR, APE, ESTK). The following procedure assumes that you are using the C drive as your boot drive. Modify the command accordingly if you are using a different drive.
cd "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\DWA"
setup.exe --mode=silent --deploymentFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\
Adobe\Elements10STIForPSE\ElementsSTIInstaller.remove.xml"
Finally, run the following command:
rmdir /s "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Elements10STIForPSE"

should I uninstall photoshop elements 10 befrore installing photoshop elements 11

Hi eclayton18,
It's recommended to uninstall the older version before installing the new software if you dont intend to use the older version.
But if you want to use both versions you can install and have both on the same machine.
