Photoshop software installation problem

Hello,

could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)
I am not savvy enough to know waht to do. Can anybody help please?

use the Adobe cleaner tool then re-install.

Blackberry Desktop Software Installation Problem

I had a problem with Roxio Media Manager continuously wanting to reinstall. So I fixed that problem and and uninstalled the Blackberry software. I then tried to re-install the Blackberry Desktop software so I can syncronize my contacts on my home computer. I have tried this from a downloaded version 4.6 and with the version on my Blackberry CD. Same problem with both.
The install starts and asks for language, then the install starts for a couple of seconds. Then I get this message:
Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable.
I can't get past this message. It does not say where the log file location is. Other software installs, it is only Blackberry software that will not install. I tried renaming CProgram Files\Common files\Installshield and making it read/write, but this install still fails with the same message.
Any ideas to try? Anywhere else that I can go for help?
Andy
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks, that worked.
I unzipped the file, then I opened a cmd window and manually ran msiexec with your Blackberry msi file. I added a /L flag to put the logfile into a local logfile.txt file and everything went fine.
Perhaps you are specifying a problematic log file name, at least for my computer?
Anyway, this new version of Blackberry software works fine for keeping my home contacts up-to-date with my work contacts. I'm glad I was able to install it without the Roxio media manager. That program was driving me crazy.

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

Photoshop 12 Installation Problems (boxed version)

Clicking on setup.exe (in Windows 7) produces this error message: adobe photoshop elements12\setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Generally this error occurs because there is a problem reading the disk. Try copying the contents of the disk to a folder on your desktop and then running Setup.exe from there. If you get an error during the copy process (like and in/out error), then there is some sort of damage to the disk. Simply go to Adobe.com and download the trial version of the software. Your serial number will turn it into a full version (the trial installation files are exactly the same as the files on your disk).

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see that you're unable to install the drivers for your HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color MFP. I'd like to work with you on this. I have some suggestions that might result in a viable setup. Try the following steps: Clear Temp Folder: Open the Run box by pressing the Windows + R keys'. In the box that pops up type %temp% and hit enter.When the Temp folder opens select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboardOnce everything is highlighted in the Temp folder select 'Delete' on your keyboard to delete the files within the Temp folder. No files and folders on your actual computer will be removed. This will only delete Temporary files. If a file is still be used by a program on your computer you will get the pop up to 'skip' the item.Once the Temp files are deleted close the windowOn your Desktop, right click on the Recycling Bin and select Empty Recycling BinNext, run Microsoft Fix it. Click here to install. This utility might solve the install problem. I also suggest updating the printer's firmware. Connect your printer to the PC via usb (if possible) and click here to complete the firmware update. If none of these steps are helping, you can do a selective start up on your PC working directly with MSCONFIG to try and determine what, if any Windows service or program is interfering with your ability to install the drivers. Here's how: Click on the Start menuIn the 'search programs and files' box right above Start, type msconfig and hit enter on your keyboardWhen the System Configuration Window opens click 'Selective Startup' and uncheck Load Startup ItemsClick the Services tab. Check the box at the bottom for Hide All Microsoft ServicesSelect Disable AllSelect Apply and OKRestart your computer when promptedAfter you reboot, try the install again. If you're able to finish the setup we can safely assume there is a background program or service on your computer blocking the install. You will need to enable one service at a time on your computer to locate the program that's blocking your printer from printing. Here's how to undo the above-noted MSCONFIG steps: Click the Start icon.In the 'search programs and files' box right above Start, type msconfig and hit enter on your keyboardWhen the System Configuration Window opens click 'Normal Startup'Click Apply and OKRestart your computer as prompted. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution.

Photoshop cs4 installation problems

hi im having big problems getting Photoshop on and off of my mac book iv tried to uninstall it (i did it complete wrong by dragging and dropping it in to the trash i now know that’s not the way) iv put a post on the mac web site and was told to do this,
"You won't be able to install CS4 until is is properly uninstalled. In the Utilities folder, you'll find the folder "Adobe Installers". There will be an alias in there named per the Adobe software you installed. Double click that to launch it and start the uninstall process. You'll get a list of software you can put check boxes in to remove from the hard drive. There's also a Select All button at the top.
This may or may not work since you already manually removed some of the items the uninstaller will be looking for. If it appears to finish, then try installing PS CS4 again.
The blunt approach is to use Adobe's Clean Script tool. This will remove anything to do with any piece of CS4 files from the hard drive. You will definitely be able to reinstall after running it. Be aware though that it will remove ALL CS4 software on the hard drive. InDesign, Flash Pro, Photoshop, etc. You don't get to pick and choose."
non of this worked and when i put the disk in it brings up the setup program but wont accept the serial number and when i try to install the trial version it asks for the disk to be inserted which is all ready in the disk tray iv got no idea what to do can any one help me please

any one ????

Photoshop elements installation problems

Hi there. I have a purchased disk of adobe photoshop elements 9 and i am having problems installing it on my MAC.
I tried to download it as well in case there was something wrong with the CD but the same problem appeared as well. It says "Inconsistency in the installer database. Please restart your computer and install again." This appears in the middle of the installation procedure. My MAC runs OS X and the version is 10.6.7.
I also tried the adobe support advisor but it didn't detect anything.
PLease help

Hi Jeff,
thank you for you're answer. As already posted before, i tried every solution that came from the adobe support or i found in the web.
This included the solutions in the posted link. I deinstalled every adobe product on my Laptop and my complete antivirus and web Protection suite. I even made changes in the registry, that were suggested from the adobe support.
I had solutions from adobe developer after analycing my log files. That is the reason I spent this much time with installations tries.
That is the reason I asked for a service pack, because I see no chance in getting this version installed.
will there be a patch or something like that?
thanks Michael

Photoshop CS5 installation problem

Hi there,
I had PS4 and PS5 co-existing without problems on my system. Finally, I decided yesterday to uninstall PS CS4 since all my plug-ins are now available for CS5. I removed CS4 using CleanMyMac, which unfortunately also uninstalled CS5. No problem, I thought, and reinstalled from my CS5 download - and PS5 won't install! No Photoshop CS5.app on my system! I verified permission, repaired them, had no other programs open during install. I tried three times, three failures, and now I don't know what to do! I have no back up available since I am away on vacation and my back-ups are at home. I need this for x-mas! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Regards
GS

Are any errors being reported or does the installer claim success?
If remaining parts of the old installations should be part of the problem maybe the Cleaner Tool can help.

Photoshop CS3 Installation Problems

A customer has purchased Photoshop CS3 & is having problems installing on Vista Business
If I logon to the Users PC as Administrator & install it there, what steps will I need to take to access it from the Users account
Thanks

Well, who told you it was for a Mac? If you bought it at a retail store, you should be able to take it back there and exchange it for a Mac copy. If you bought it used, you should demand a refund from whoever you bought it from.
Of course, that is all assuming it's actually a Windows copy, and there's not something else going on... What does it say on the CD? My Photoshop Elements CD is very clearly labeled "Macintosh."

Software installation problems

I've tried probably 16 times now to install Maya 2015 on my brand new iMac (3TB hard drive space, running OS X 10.9.4). The installation process zips along in about 3 seconds and just says "Installation failed on Exit" Looking at the log, it looks like it's related to something called the MagicMenuEnabler within the Mac OS, but I'm not sure. Also, I should say that this is a brand new iMac but most of the files on it were restored from a Time Machine back-up. I have had a number of permission problems since the restore.
This is the log from mac's console app during the install process:
"9/3/14 10:51:46.260 PM CoreServicesUIAgent[3600]: Error: qtn_file_apply_to_path error: Read-only file system

That's it. I'm kind of at a loss. I know that Maya 2015 is supposed to be compatible with OS X 10.9.4, so I'm not sure what could be wrong. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I tried booting in Safe Mode and then trying the install. Same result. Slightly different messages on the console but exactly the same result:

Photoshop Element Installation Problems

As the installation wizard gets to the end, it stops and says that the wizard was interrupted and I need to run setup again. It deletes all the files that was installed. It happens when it says "rolling back actions". I am running Vista Ultimate 64x system. Please help someone. This is the free trial I am trying to install.

With my VERY grateful thanks to Aedan, I have now successfully loaded Elements 8 on to my PC (XP) and my laptop (Vista Home Premium)..hooray. Try the following steps which worked for me:
C:\program files\common files\Adobe pcd\cache...delete "cache.db" to re-cycle bin.
Try installing Elements 8 again.
These steps sorted my Elements 8 loading problems so hope that they work for you too. Please let me know if this works for you.
Go Well.

GPO Software Installation Problem

Dear Sir
Recently i install Server 2008R2. And also create a domain controller. In this domain controller i create a OU and create a child OU. In child OU i create 2 child OU. One for Computers and others for Users. I want to install software in this OU of computers.
But the main problem is when i create a GPO to install software when i link msi file to the GPO it give me message "cannot verify path is a network location. If this package is not available from a network share, clients will not be able to install it. Are
you sure you want to deploy this package using this path?" i press ok. I update my group policy from command prompt. what can i do now?

Hi,
You'll have to specify the UNC (\\server\share) to the MSI. Also you need to give read permissions to Authenticated Users at share/NTFS level (used by the computer account to access the MSI)
