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 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 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.

Photoshop Elements 13 not Installing on Windows 8.1 x64

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop 13 with an Installer package developed using Adobe Creative Cloud. It fails with Windows Installer error 1603. I'm installing this package on a locked down machine, using an Administrative account and the drive is not encrypted. I've noticed during troubleshooting that after the installation failure, if I go to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe' directory, rename the 'OOBE' folder (this folder doesn't exist prior to installation start) and re-run the installer, the installation completes successfully. I've re-created the Creative Cloud package few times without any success. Any help will be appreciated.

You can contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe products for organizations: business, government, education
2. Choose a link if appropriate
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your invoice/serial number available.

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.

I JUST PURCHASED THE ELEMENTS 13 AND THERE IS 0 TECH SUPPORT. THANKS AGAIN BRIAN. """DINO"""

I installed an ancient version, photoshop element 2, on PC under Windows 7 after change of computer station and it is impossible to register modification made; error message: impossible because saturated disc ....what is not the case: many space on the disc. How to repair this error please?

Hello
Thank you for your answer which is interesting because it is a disk of 2 TB... If I create a partition do you think it can solve my problem? I prefer this old version of Photoshop, very practical to use...
