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?

The rest is unclear, but may simply depend on you not running as administrator, which is potentialyl detremental to the install process...

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.

Photoshop 6 on mavericks wont install any ideas?

Hi
Bought a sealed second web collection, photshop 6 and illustrator 9 wont install anybody have any idea what to do?

Will,
Looks like you have purchased PS 6, not PS CS6(version 14), along with Illustrator 9.
My first question to you is, from where did you actually purchase these apps now, as they are almost 10 years old?
So, if you are trying to install PS 6 on Maverick, then i would say Don't even try as it a very old product which was never designed or supposed to work with the latest operating systems like Maverick.
Same should be the case with Illustrator.
Hope that Helps!

CS 3 Wont install

My harddrive took a dump and now I need to reinstall my CS3. It wont install. I enter the serial # and Autho codes and they dont work! I can't figure it out. I called adobe and they gave me the sales pitch of " we dont offer support for that software anymore because its out dated to far."
Im sorry, this software cost a pretty penny, and I think I should be able to use it. WTF?
Any thoughts?

The only thing behind the Adobe window is my Windows Vista Premium desktop. I was able to install from my DVD the Adobe Design Standard CS3 folder. In this folder are Acrobat Distiller 8, Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe LiceCyle Designer 8.0. I get the following message, "Component install failed." when I try to install Illustrator CS3, InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3 and Version Cue CS3 Server. In addition, I get "Successfully installed 1 component: Shared Components." Stangely enough, I also get this message, "Component install failed" for shared components. These are the list of procedures that I have used to install CS3: 1) I untinstalled my antivirus program. 2) Turned off Windows firewall. 3) Ran computer in low-res mode. 4) Ran computer in SAFE mode. 5) Defragmented all hard drive. 6) Ran Adobe Cleaner Tool. 7) Attempted to install from hard drive/desktop. 8) Attempted to install from DVD. 9) Attempted to install on two, different hard drives. 10) Attempted to install using a new user account that has administrative privileges. 11) Removed all versions of Flash Player 12. Ran Chkdsk. 12. Updated my Windows version. 13) Ran Windows Event Viewer, and there is something under MSIInstall, but I cannot figure out what it is. My computer meets installation requirements because I have 17 GB on the boot drive, 414 GB on another drive, and 1 GB RAM.

PSE 8 wont install on my new imac

Hi Ankush,
I see you have helped so many others and am hoping you can help me too. I am starting a new thread as you requested.
I had PSE 6 installed on my old mac G4. I transferred everything by a firewire cable to my brand new imac. PSE 6 wont work on my new imac so I upgraded and bought PSE 8 which wont install. I get 95% through installation and it fails stating "error 2".
I have uninstalled (using the adobe uninstallers) PSE 6 & PSE 8.
I ran the analyzer and it said to run the clean program (I did for CS3 and CS4). It also stated that Minion Pro-Bold font was a problem. I cant find it under the font section. PSE 8 still wont install.
Thank you!
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
Ok. So let us go step by step:
1. Uninstall PSE 8 again from your machine through Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/Uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.app
2. Now browse through the below location on your Hard Disk
<Macintosh HD>/Library/Fonts/
Check if there is any empty/non-empty folder present here saying "Minion Pro-Bold" ? If yes, then move that folder on your desktop.
If not, and say there is a font file present in this location saying Minion Pro-Bold.otf, then move that font file on the desktop.
3. Now try to install PSE 8 again.
4. If it works, hooray, our problem is resolved, go ahead and delete the empty/non-empty folder which you copied on desktop in step 2. If there is a font file(.otf format) which you moved on desktop then ypou can move it back inside the Fonts folder.
5. If it doesnt, then please attach the installer log file which can be located at below location to this forum thread, I will look into it more closely then:
<Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/"..Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...gz"
<Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/"..Uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...gz"
(If there are multiple log files in the above location, then please attach the one having latest timestamp.)
