  • Photoshop Elements 9 will not install.

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 9 several times, and it does not complete installation. It loads about 80% of the files, then at the point of placing an desktop icon, the softwarw rollback. My operating system is Windows 7 64 Ultimate.  My computer system includes AMD Phenom II X4 810, 8 GB RAM, GeForce NVIDIA 9600 GT (IRQ 18) and GeForce NVIDIA 8400 GS (IRQ 19). I tried to disconnect the second graphics card - no help.  I have manually removed Photoshop Elements 9 from the registry and reinstalled - no help. The error status is 1603. When installing, I closed all Adobe software, anti-virus software, and Windows Firewall. I contacted Adobe customer service several times - no help.

    Hello Mylenium, I tried everything in the Error 1603 | Install site that you sent me. And, still the installation of the PhotoShop Elements 9 rollback and will not install. What is next? Thank you, Paul

  • Photoshop Elements 11 will not install. It says "Error 2343. Specified Path is Empty." Can U Help?

    I purchased & downloaded Photoshop Elements 11. I installed it. Informed me some parts were missing, so I needed to uninstall it & reinstall it. I went to Programs & Features in Windows 7, & did just that. Then it informs me that it could not uninstall it properly. To try again. The program is missing now from Programs & Features. Can't find it anywhere where I can uninstall it. So, I went to Adobe to get it to uninstall. I keep getting this error; "Error 234. Specified Path is Empty" I have done everything! Cannot get it to install or uninstall. The Organizer is opening, but the Editor will not. I can't get anything to print. I have a deadline tomorrow and I cannot get any pictures to print. What am I gonna do? Can anyone please help me?

    If you haven't committed to PSE12, yet, then you should be able to download PSE/PRE11 from this website.  Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set the Adobe authorization cookie, because the downloads actually come from Adobe:

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 will not install - rollback action issue?

    Im having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
    The problem is right at the end of installation, it says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
    The message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again."
    I am beyond frustrated as I have tried installing even as an administrator and Im assuming there is nothing wrong with the CD just my computer being a complete pain.
    If anyone can offer some help that would be greatly appreciated.
    Holly.

    Hi Holly
    I have the same problem  with the rolling back installation. Could you tell me what Ankush advised you to do to solve it.
    Sorry to bother you but I seem to be hitting a brick wall elsewhere.
    Thank you in anticipation.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 will not install.

    I have downloaded and extracted all 3 files, but when I double-click on the .exe file, it does nothing.  The cursor does even change to the spinning thing that tells me it is working on something.  Please help me.

    I'm not sure what all you need to know.  I went to the Wacom Intuos welcome site and registered my tablet, and then I chose to download Photoshop Elements 11 as one of my free software choices.  I extracted the file as instructed.  The folder was on my desktop.  I double-clicked on the ".exe" file which was supposed to install the program, but the cursor did not even change to it's "thinking" icon--spinning wheel or sand clock.  I have Windows Vista on my computer.  I use Chrome for my browser (such as when I downloaded the file).

    you can start debugging here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-photoshop-elements- premiere.html
    if you're not up to that, you can try adobe support (but i'm not sure they still offer support for that version): www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

    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.

  • Photoshop elements 6 will not open!

    Purchased photoshop elements 6.  My dad has that one and recommended it for what I want to do with photos.  It was the only elements in our budget and since my dad uses it, I figured instant help should I need it.
    I tried installing it.  It said it was installed, but it will not open.  Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and restarting computer.  Did not work.  Tried to run it as an administrator.  Did not work.
    I have windows vista 64 bit.
    If I can't get this to work, I know I won't be buying anything from adobe ever again and will tell all my friends that want to get into editing their photos to stay far, far, far away from photoshop elements.

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 will not open

    Photoshop Elements 7 will not open.  Indicates an error message upon trying to
    open application in Windows Vista.

    Can you try some of teh trubleshooting steps at this link http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm.
    Also try this once:
    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. Let me know your comments.
    Thanks,

  • Premier elements 10 will not install!!

    Premier elements 10 will not install on my Mac.  Installing from disk. I get a bunch of words starting with Warning:DW031:  To me it is all just junk and unhelpful.  I followed the contact customer support link and it leads me to the most useless web site I have ever encountered.  Why is this so frustrating?  How do I get past this?  It has already cost me hours of frustration.  I have a screen shot of the installation status error page but nowhere to send it.  BTW, photoshop elements loaded just fine on this computer.  HELP!!

    Googling DW031 shows many similar and/or helpful items. This one includes a link to Adobe's Official Response. See if that solves it for you.
