Photoshop Elements 12 does not install on Win 8.1 64bit

Hi!
My system: Windows 8.1 64 bit with all patches, 32GB Ram and engough HD space.
I downloaded PSE 12 32bit and Premiere Elements 12 64bit. Both won't install.
Problems:
Premiere: Installation fails when shared components should be installed. I spent more than 2hrs trying every tip I found in forums. Same result.
Photoshop: It always tries to deinstall Elements 12 (which is definetely not installed) and fails becaus of "Specified path is empty". It was never fully installed. I cleaned all folders manually, I deleted registry entries according forum advise. I rebooted. I put the installation files onto C:. Before I installed, I deinstalled Elements 9. I also cleaned those files. An no, I did not deinstall my Antivirus. I cannot deactivate it and deinstalling is a very very bad option.
What I already tried:
10 reboots
Deinstall old version
Clean Temp folder
Clean Registry
Delete all folders and hopefull all registry "Elements" entries
Archive OOBE Folder
Moved installation Files to C:
Start Installation as Administrator
Monitored if any other Adobe program is running - killed all
Any help is much apreshiated. I am desperate and about to return the products.
Michael
Added solution attempts.

Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
After setting up the setting up the system.
I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
-I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
-enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

Did you download the Basic/Free version?
I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
All sales are final and there are no refunds.
Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

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.

Adoble photoshop elements does not recognize printer although other software programs do print...

Adobe Photoshop Elements does not recognize printer..error message says you must install printer. Other software does print documents.

Try opening an image in full edit, then press crtl+p
Wait for the print dialog to open and try to select your printer by clicking the dropdown menu.

Photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
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.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\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.
Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

"Edit in Photoshop Elements" does not appear as option in Lightroom 4.3

After viewing this artical:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html and completing all options related to the Mac, the "Edit in Photoshop..." still does not appear as a clckable option in my Lightroom 4.3 program which has all the current updates. Also, my Photoshop Elements 11 program also has all the current updates.
Please note that in the interest of time, that all of the "solutions" were attempted in the above mentioned link
Also, was on hold with Adobe Lightroom help phone support for over 1.5 hours without any agent answeing the phone. Also Adobe automatied phone support states that Photoshop Elements is not supported free of charge and it is fee based. How is a consumer suppose to have a problem corrected in Lightroom that stems from Elements when it is suppose to intergrate that way between the two programs but any help to try to correct the way it is suppose to work will cost you an addition fee in phone support for Elements?
And help on fixing this issue will be apprecitated.
Lightroom v 4.3 / Camera RAW v 7.3
Elements v 11.0 / Camera RAW v 7.3.0.71

Did this with Adobe support in LIVE CHAT, what a waist of time. Although this will correct the issue, it is like a work around and not solving why EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP... is not a clickable option (greyed out) in LR.
After the configure as suggested above, does this preclude and editing in Lighroom?
What I want to do is:
Edit the photo in LR except for:
the useage the great Spot Healing Brush Tool that PSE offers, edit that part of it in PSE then SAVE the results back to LR. Any problems or suggestions for this?
Thanks so much

PhotoShop Elements does not launch

I purchased PhotoShop Elements; did not download the trail version. It worked nice; I liked it. I then had to do a system restore unrelated to Photoshop. Afterwards, I re-installed PhotoShop. When I launch PhotoShop I have the option to select the Organizer or Photo Editor. I can't launch either; a message appears that says my trial has expired. I have spent 3 hours with Adobe tech support and they could not get it to work. I was told if I still had the issue, call tech support again...this isn't exactly tech support. They also told me that re-installing this software will cause it to NOT launch. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe someone out there has and found a solution that will work for me. Thanks!

Good day!

Adobe Photoshop Elements does not respond when quicktime is installed

I currently have a Windows Vista PC with Photoshop Elements 5.0. Photoshop seems to work fine, however when Quicktime is installed, Photoshop stops working (sometimes immediately and sometimes within a few days). When Quicktime is installed, Photoshop will start, but freezes and never loads pictures. I read a post at another website with the same problem suggesting that I could unistall Quicktime and then reinstall. I tried uninstalling and Photoshop started working immediately. However, when I reinstalled Quicktime the same thing happened. I've tried this numerous times, both by installing Quicktime separately and as a package with iTunes. I would be fine w/o quicktime on my computer, however it seems that I need it in order to use iTunes. Any advice on what to do? Thanks.

FYI, I'm using a Mac with the latest OS, whatever that's called.

Photoshop Elements does not start for the second time

Hello,
our customer has problem with PS Elements 12. He can start it for the first time and everything works fine. But when he closes the program and tries to start it again, it will not start. It doesnt even say anything. No error mesages or anything. He tried to instal a trial version of PS E 13 and it does the same thing.
He's running Win 7 SP1 64 bit
Any sugestions? Thank you.

Hi,
It has been known that the Welcome screen sometimes fails to close properly and prevents a second load.
Most people have overcome the problem by creating a shortcut direct to the two main applications.
Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"

After Successfull Installation of Photoshop Element 3.0 On Mac OS 10.6.8, Photoshop Elements does not start saying that personalization information is invalid or missing

I have installed Photoshop Elements 3.0 from original disk on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8. The installation was successful. However, when I try to run Photoshop Elements, it does not start, with the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". I uninstalled Adobe Elements and deleted all Adobe files from both the System Library Preferences and from the User Library Preference. Then tried the installation again. The installation was successful, but the application fails to start with the same missing/invalid-personalization-information message.
Please advise

I am sorry Invalid Personalization but Photoshop Elements 3.0 requires a PowerPC processor or Rosetta installed in order to function. You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements.
You may want to try following the steps listed at Mac OS X 10.6: If you need to install Rosetta to attempt to install Rosetta. That may still not resolve your licensing issue however as the application was also designed for Mac OS 10.2.8 and 10.3.

Photoshop Elements does not start

Hello,
I bought and installed Photoshop Elements a view month ago and it worked fine. Yesterday I wanted to edit a photo, but it was not possible to do any changes to the photo, because the program crashed every time I tried. So I reinstalled the program and now it doesn't even start anymore. If I start it over the select screen (Organizer/Editor) it says "Photoshop Elements funtkioniert nicht mehr, es wird nach einer Lösung gesucht" and if I start the editor directly I get an error message: PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe - Einsprungpunkt nicht gefunden. Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" wurde in der DLL "MSVCR110.dll" nicht gefunden. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.

Photoshop Elements does not start under Windows Vista

The Twain-Module of my Canon CanoScan FS4000US Filmscanner works only under Windows Vista (no newer OS!). Fortunately I own an older Notebook with Vista as OS, so I have PSE Version 5.0.2 installed and use it to import my old color negatives via the twain module. Fine! It even works with 42 bit. But suddenly, PSE refuses to start and freezes at the window loading the libraries. At this stage it can only be stopped with the help of the task manager. A little search in the internet informs me that I am not the only user with that specific problem. Any help from Adobe?
