Photoshop Elements 9: cannot install, files are damaged [Windows 8.1]

I tried it with both downloading the two files from Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7 and Photoshop Elements 9 / Premiere Elements 9 Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, neither installation worked.
When trying to install with the separate .exe file, it says that "An error occured while extracting some files, please check if there is enough space and if you are allowed to write in the folder." but there are 152GB free and I'm the admin.
When trying to unpack first and then install via the .exe inside the .7z, it says "Error in "PSE 9\Data11.cab". The file ist damaged." and so are all the other files: listed as damaged.
I downloaded the files multiple times and tried a lot: I reread all the "Very Important Instructions" on ProDesignTools and followed them strictly, did not find something in the "troubleshoot installation", downgraded Adobe Air to the version inside the .7z, set up a new user account on my computer (even though I installed Windows 8.1 only last week) , deactivated all tasks via msconfig, did a clean boot... installing failed every time.
Once, I archieved to get the .exe working and it started to install, but at one point of about 75% an error occured, that "some files are damaged" and the process made until this point was automatically cancelled, deinstalled. It only took a few minutes longer until failure.
But what else can I do? I already read in this forum that Pse9 + W8.1 worked for others. But it does not for me. So, are the files damaged?
Thank you for any advice!

Please check if the downloads are the full size, and not somehow truncated.

  • Wacom Bamboo Tablet with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 install on Newly bought Windows 8.1 laptop

         So I bought a Wacom bamboo tablet a while back when I had windows 7, which it came with Adobe Photoshop 8 on a CD with product code. I upgraded and bought a new laptop with windows 8 and no CD drive. While I managed to re download the things needed to make my tablet work from their site, I realized I can't download Adobe elements 8 for my laptop because of two things:
    1) I have no CD drive
    2) Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 seems to only be for windows 7 and under.
         My question is Is there any way for me to get this back on my laptop or am I out of luck in that department? I'm not quite sure I can manage the money to purchase the newer Elements for windows 8. Is it hopeless for me to work with this program again?

    You can try this version of pse 8 from the adobe site:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    As far i know know, pse 8 should work on windows 8.1

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

    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.

    Elements 2.0 is an old version. The message may be due to the fact that your new HD is much bigger than your older one, and not due to the classical reasons:

  • Photoshop Elements 9 prints and Previews are blank

    Recently installed Elements (not the trial, the paid version) on a new MacBook Pro, and it not only won't print, the Print Preview is blank. Wondering if it was the document, so I created a new document with Elements, painted a few strokes, and tried printing again. Same result. The Print Preview is blank. The thumbnail of the image DOES show up in the Print dialog box. I re-installed the software. I deleted and re-installed the printer. I restarted the computer. All other apps are able to print, and Preview app is able to print the same documents that Elements will not print. I've been doing IT for years, and I've never seen anything like this. Any suggestions?

    I may have just found a solution.  In the print dialog box, under more options, colour management...if i leave the Colour Handling to Photoshop and change Printer Profile to Apple RGB or to my Printer colour profile then I could print. However, colour is off although it looked nice in print preview.  So, instead I downloaded ICC Colour Profile for Mac from adobe and change back the Printer Profile to Adobe RGB(1998) which is same as above Image Space profile.
    And I am quite satisfied with the print output.

    Yes, sorry for the confusion. Normally i go to the web link to post message but it didn't work this time, so i replied directly from email and that seem to be ok.
    Anyway, my printer is Canon MG5240. After reading your thread, I installed updated driver from Apple (printer driver for Mac) and when still cannot print, I called a canon rep here and asked about it and he said to go into canon website only. So I loaded driver from Canon website which also didn't seem to change anything. When I was using Elements 9 trial version i did not have problem printing from the software.

  • 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"

  • Photoshop Elements 8-Change of file format when saving deletes filename

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 since last May and have always been irritated that when I add text to a photo it always defaults to PSD format for saving.  I have gone to the preference options to see if I can set jpg as the default and it does not offer that option.  This means that every time I save after adding text I have to manually select jpg to get the format to change.
    Although this has been a pain, I have done it thousands of times as I have edited photos.
    My problem is that suddenly from one day to the next when I change from PSD option to jpg the filename disappears and I have to go back and manually type in the whole filename.  The only changes to my computer settings that I can think of that might have affected this is that Microsoft Updates had 2 updates.  First was Definition for Windows Defender-KB915597 and the other was Unpdate for Windows 7 for x64 based systems-KB97690.
    I saw a similar problem posted by sandwitch2 on Feb. 13th about PSE6.  99jon suggested the change to permissions of adding "everyone".  I tried this and it did not correct the problem.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.
    I have found Adobe's insistance on saving as PSD irritating to say the least in the past.  The inability to change this in preferences has made me very unhappy, but the quality of their product has outweighed the hoops they make me jump through until this.  Their search feature in support is pretty much worthless.  It either brings up nothing if you keyword is to limiting or brings up 200 responses if it if too broad.
    I have been a user of Photoshop Elements for over 6 years updating as new editions have come out. I am to the point that if I can't get this current problem fixed I am uninstalling Elements 8 and going to another software.  Adobe's proprietary requirements and poor support page are just too much of a pain to deal with.

    I was told that if I save in PSD if I send the photos to share with others only those with Photoshop Elements can open the files.  That is why I try to use jpg.  Is that true?
    Thanks for all the help from both of you,
    Bettye

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • 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:
