It appears your account, with which you were installing Photoshop, did not have permission to create a shortcut in your Start Menu.
Is your user account a member of the Administrators group?
Can you try downloading the Adobe installer, then start it via Run as administrator?  Maybe use a different browser?
Wow, how I hate Windows UAC.  All it ever seems to do is to protect your computer from you being able to use it.  And it's frowned upon to teach people to disable it.

  • After Leopard install "unable to create /folder/filename..."

    I have upgraded my MacBook and iMac to Leopard, no problems. However, on my iMac (only), in many applications I get an error message when I'm trying to save a file. For example, in iPhoto if I export to desktop I get an error message "unable to create.... /folder/directory filename". Same thing if I export to an already existing folder. However, files I make and save with Word etc. work fine. Is there some selective locking device on Apple?

    Hello Rollie2t,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with installing the printer on to your Windows Vista computer.
    Please make sure that you do NOT have the usb cable connected to the printer and the computer when doing the download and the installation.  You will be prompted as to when to connect the usb cable during the installation so please do NOT connect it before hand.
    I also suggest that you disable the Windows Firewall and any anti virus protection before attempting to download the software and drivers.
    Here is the link for the HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Photoshop wont install after purchase

    I recently bought Photoshop cc, but even after multiple attempts the program  wont install. When investigating what went wrong in trouble shooter the errors that came up were:
    Third party payload installer vcredist_64
    and
    Failed to repair Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
    Unfortunately I am still at a loss as what to do to fix these problems. Some instruction would be greatly appreciated.

  • Photoshop wont save actions, I create,

    okay so thanks to everyone for your help between this information and some other I found online I got it sorted, my library folder wasnt showing up, I have just also recently upgraded to maverick os, so the library folder show up you need to unhide it, this was a great source telling me how to do that http://www.macworld.com/article/2057221/how-to-view-the-library-folder-in-mavericks.html
    then I just went into the user/library/adobe cs5 settings/ and changed the preferences so I was the owner of that folder.

    Hello Thomas,
    It looks like a Solaris issue. Check if the home directory
    /home is reserved in the Solaris configuration.
    Check if this fix the problem please perform the following steps:
    1. modify /etc/auto_master file to change the entry for '/home' to say
       '/autohome' instead
    2. reboot
    3. rmdir /home
    4. ln -s /export/home /home (make sure /export/home exists)
    Also you could create soladm manually in advance.
    Hope this helps,

  • Essbase 11.1.1.1.3 Server install - Unable to create application

    Hello, I did a full install of this version. After working through the config for Shared Services using SQL Server, I installed the package in "Essbase standalone mode" which is really all I need. I have encountered a couple of problems trying to get this finished.
    I have started the ESSBASE.exe server file and it is "Waiting for Client requests"
    I have started the Oracle EPM System->Essbase->Admin Services->Start Admin Services (Embedded Java Container). Tomcat -eas says it is "Waiting for Client Requests"
    When I launch the EAS console, I am unable to add the EAS admin Server using "Machine Address:10080" which I confirmed is the EAS connection port.
    I can however add this server to my Essbase server list via another Administrative Server. I connect using the same machine address syntax as above less the port number and am communicating with the server. I can add users. I can not add an application though. I get the following message in the essbase logs that have been modified today. I can't find a specific server log other than the easserver.log.
    Please help me troubleshoot. Thanks very much.

    Hi,
    You should be able to create an application by going to http://<machine name>:8300/HyperionPlanning/Appwizard.jsp
    Make sure you are logging in with an administrator that also has the shared service roles of Application Creator, Dimension Editor.
    If you are having problems still, you can stop planning running as a service, start it from the start menu and it should log errors to the command window.

  • Java wont install/unable to access jarfileC:\documents and settings

    Help!
    I can not get the Java installed...keep getting a javaws corrupt file error and the program fails to launch. (Java Virtual Machine Launcher)
    Keep uninstalling and reinstalling program...nothing is working.
    PLS HELP!

    I am Very Confused,
    I would recommend creating a new user account with administrative rights. 
    In order to do this, I’ve taken the following from the
    Create a User Account page:
    “To create a local account
    Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap
    Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
         (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click
    Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
    Tap or click
    Accounts, and then tap or click Other accounts.
    Tap or click
    Add an account, and then tap or click Sign in without a Microsoft account (not recommended).
    Tap or click
    Local account.
    Enter a user name for the new account.
    If you want this person to sign in with a password, enter and verify the password, add a password hint, and then tap or click
    Next.
    If your PC is on a domain, depending on the domain's security settings, you might be able to skip this step and tap or click
    Next, if you prefer.
    Tap or click
    Finish.”
    To give this account administrative rights, highlight the account you just created that is listed on the
    Other Accounts screen.  Click Edit and select Administrator for the account type. 
    Click OK and log out.
    Log back in with the account you just created. 
    You should be able to perform any administrative tasks at this point.
    I hope this helps.

  • Photoshop wont install

    Last night my portable hard drive, where I had Photoshop installed, died. So I tried to re-install it on my proper hard drive. It says it conflicts with Photoshop. I tried to uninstall it but the uninstaller couldn't find the files (because they're on the dead hard drive). So I got an uninstaller program and used that. Now Photoshop doesn't register as being installed by Windows, but somehow the Photoshop installer still finds it. I just went through the registry editor and deleted every photoshop thing I could by hand, but it still thinks it's installed. I just got my Tablet back from being fixed and so having my pc break on me feels very frustrating. Any way around this?

  • Windows 7 Ultimate isn't installing on my iMac. Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition

    I have a 21.5" iMac (Late 2012) running OS X Mavericks. I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate via Bootcamp but whenever i get to the setup part it goes wrong
    These are the steps I followed
    I selected all the options since I didn't have the drivers or an install disk
    it copied the Windows 7 iso image, downloaded the support software, and saved the support software to the flash drive (8GB)
    I selected a partition size - I gave windows roughly 100GB
    and I let it install
    Right now I'm at the part where it says " where do you want to install windows? I selected the bootcamp partition and formatted it. It now says
    "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information"
    WHAT DO I DO?

    I had to read the apple instructions several times before they started to make sense.  I burned my iso onto a DVD and had the required USB for support software.  Are you trying to use the single USB method?
    This article has a lot of info on the single usb method

    Hello,
    Do you just want to delete the Ubuntu partition?  If so, you may be able to do by booting from the Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc, pressing Shift+F10 to get to a Command Prompt, and then using the DISKPART.EXE program to erase the hard disk drive.

  • Boot Camp - Setup was unable to create a new system partition....from Windows install

    Hi folks.  So I ran the boot camp wizard and made a USB install key for windows from that.  I boot to it and everything works until I get to the install.  I format the Boot Camp partition as indicated in the walkthrough and then I get "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.  See the Setup log files for more information." from the Windows installer.  What do I do?   Thanks.              

    just to add to the mix. . . i just got a new macbook retina.
    Originally used a USB flash drive. Hit the same barrier described here.
    Spent a few hours with drive unplugging / replugging silliness. No progress. Went back into OSX to attempt using an external DVD drive. There is no option for that in Bootcamp assistant now - must use USB.
    Grabbed a different USB stick and started again. This time I used the other USB port on the macbook (the one on the left). Everything worked fine this time!?
    You still have to go into "advanced options" and hit "format" when you get to the partition screen.
    Moral of the story: different stick, different port. Sounds random. If that doesn't work, try changing your socks and putting on a hat.
    Good luck!
