Premiere Elements 10 will not install - msiexec issue?

I have installed Photoshop Elements 10 without a problem. When I try to install Premiere Elements 10 (from the DVD autorun installation menu) the 'choose language' pop up appears then the 'configuring windows installer' window appears and the bar moves across. Then a Windows Installer version 5 pop up appears showing all the windows installer options. It has an 'ok' button at the bottom. When that is clicked the window disappears and nothing is installed. I have tried unregistering and re-registering msiexec (both 32 bit and 64 bit versions) but that did not help. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I'm having the same issues with installing premiere elements 10.
i have windows xp sp2, have enough disc space and memory to install the program.  i am the only user on the computer with admin privileges
this is what I see when i click on setup.exe on the dvd.  see this animated gif for visual:   http://i.picasion.com/pic47/578e12bea8e438c33e7baa41cd0a3d82.gif
First the adobe install splash screen pops up.  I click on install premiere 10.  A popup indicates installshield working.  Then finally the msiexec parameter window popups and ends there.
note: ignore the endless loop, the install process just ends with the msiexec popup window.
At first i thought it might be a msiexec issue, according to info i found, i tried to reregister msiexec.  typed msiexec /unregister followed by msiexec /regserver but the problem didn't go away
Then I tried updating msiexec to version 3.1 but the new version didn't install.  I tried updating msiexec to version 4.5.  the new version of msiexec installed, but the same problem remains
a few weeks ago i installed and removed netframe thought that might be a problem, but it wasn't. 
I also tried manually typing in msiexec and the msi package on the dvd, but it tells me to use setup.exe
If i install/uninstall something (going through to the start > settings > control panel > add/remove programs) installshield works.
not sure what to do next.  i read this thread from the top and mentions the log files in the temp directory, i can't find any of these files.

  • Premiere Elements will not install!

    Uninstall, reinstall the result is always the same; I end up with error: 1.  Very frustrating.  Does anybody know how I can fix this?  Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The QuickTIme issue may be our clue here; so let us explore that.
    Both Premiere Elements (any version) and QuickTime (from what I have read) need to be run from a computer User Account with Administrative Privileges.
    So, I am speculating that if you install and run Premiere Elements and QuickTime from a User Account with Administrative Privilege, both programs will work.
    Please see
    Control Panel/User Accounts and Family Safety/User Accounts. Do you find the User Account that you are currently using, and does it have the word Administrator underneath your ID there?
    If you can get a the desktop icon for QuickTime, right click the QuickTime icon and select Run As Administrator.
    Let us get this factor ruled in or out.
    We will be watching for further developments.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements will not run - HELP

    This is infuriating as I had the same problem with PE 8.  I have installed the trial version of PE10 and when I run the application I get the "Welcome to" screen but when I click on either start new project or open project in seems to go through lots of start up loads, then - nothing.  The last thing it does is say "loading Importerquicktime.prm" then it dies leaving the "welcome to" screen.  What is wrong please.  I had loads of issues with PE 8.  It is not looking good for this latest version.

    Buy and install a 2nd internal hard drive for all of your video files and projects... 7200rpm and not a "green" drive
    Or, use an eSata external hard drive... again, 7200rpm
    My 3 hard drives are configured as...
    1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
    2 - 320Gig data for Win7 swap file and video project files
    When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
    so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folder and files
    3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (*)
    (*) for 4 drives, drive 3 all source files & drive 4 all output files
    Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file

    Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
    I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
    Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

    A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

  • Premiere Elements will not open

    I have been using Premiere Elements 11 for some time. It has been working fine. Recently, it won't open. There is a message which says to uninstall and reinstall he product. I have done that. No help. The message says to contact Adobe support and mention Error:1 Can you help?

    Here is an Premiere Elements 12 Error 1 story with a happy ending. Please check it out and see if any of it works for you with your Premiere Elements 11 problem. At this point, I do not think that product licensing has anything to do with your issue, but time will tell.

    In the above link the user sought alternative installation files and that worked to resolve the issue as described in the link.
    If you were to follow that approach, you could download Premiere Elements 11 tryout files from the following link and then insert your purchased Premiere Elements 11 serial number in it.

    The above web site offers the tryouts of some earlier versions but does not sell them.
    For this to work for you, you must read very carefully the Note: Very Important Instructions at that web site. Otherwise you will be greeted by Access Denied.
    Please consider and then let us know the outcome.

    Add On...I forgot to ask. Are you working from installation files purchased from Adobe or from a purchased installation disc that came with boxed packaging of the product? If the former, you could always get another download of the product at "My Orders" or "My Products" at Adobe.

  • Display driver problem - Premiere Elements will not start

    Premiere Elements 10 will not run on my computer unless I downgrade to an old display driver. I would do this but it causes other problems.
    I am using the most recent driver from NVidia (but a pretty old display card).  I get this message: "We have detected an incompatible display driver... driver details: NVidia Geforce GTS 250/pCIe/SSE2 3.0.0"
    On Windows 7
    Can anybody help with this?

    Have you manually gone to the nVidia web site and downloaded the latest driver?
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    This fixes about 95% of these types of issues.
    Also, you definitely do have a BadDriver.txt file on your computer. And you may need to delete it to clear this error.

    One common cause of PrE hanging on launch is the video driver. While not the only possible cause, I would check this out first.
    What OS and version are you running?
    What video card do you have, both make and model?
    What is the date and version of your installed video driver?
    If you go to the mfgr's. Web site, say nVidia, or AMD/ATI, is that the latest version of the driver?
    If not, download and install the latest, reboot and test.
    Good luck,

  • Unable to validate my serial number for purchased version of premiere elements will not connect to internet even though my connection is ok

    i have purchased an official copy of premier elements 13. i have my serial number etc but when i go validate my sign in throgh my internet connection nothing happens. its a nightmare !! I cannot even find out how to generate a rerquest code for offline valiodation. clicking on "generate response code " does nothing. I have jjust spent £79 on this product. will someone please help. ther is nothing wrong with my internet connection.

    Hi, A.T.R
    Thank you so much for your common sense reply. I contacted Adobe via their online chat help facility. One of their tech guys resolved the issue by re-setting the Hosts file. Now I have seen this in the forums and it basically involves making a back-up copy of the Hosts file deleting certain entries and applying again.. Thankfully this worked for me. But I would urge Adobe to look into this matter as there are many novices I am sure will be extremely frustrated at what should be a straight forward approach when validating their software. Most people would know there internet was working ok and most people would be able to disable anti-virus software etc, but to continue getting a failure to validate a serial number online would in my opinion beggar belief !! for most technically minded folks out there. Most annoying.
    When anyone purchases legacy software from Adobe, no one wants this kind of problem. The software is not cheap.
    My purchase was Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and it is a great piece of software for video editing. I can however recommend it. It is very good for both novice and professionals
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Flasf update will not install/ password issues

    I  have been trying for a week to install the upgrade to adobe flash on my mac book pro OS,10.7.5. The major issue is Adobe will not accept my password. I have changed the password more times than I can count, but every time I get to the step that asks for the password and I type it in the box , it  use shakes at me to tell me that the password is wrong. I triedthe Chat help line but the support person disconnected me and frankly I have bad arthritis and typing all the time just to get to someone who does understand the complexity of the problem is compounding the problem and certainly not resolving the issue . Is there some other product besides adobe that can be used. This is completely ridiculous and certainly not tech friendly.

    Hey dommm56,
    Please refer this kb file and let me know if it resolves your issue.

  • Premiere elements did not install

    I purchased photoshop elements and premiere elements 11 (windows, english) from adobe by digital download. Apparently only photoshop elements installed. How do i install premiere elements? I am on Windows 8 OS.

    Have you downloaded the install files?  If so then you will want to run the installer for Premiere Elements.  You can find more details at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ.

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 not installing on iMac 17

    hello,
    I am trying to install Adobe Premiere Elements 12 onto my iMac 17, i go through the install process, agree the terms and conditions, enter my serial number (correctly), select where on my mac i would like it to be installed to and  it begins to instal. Standard right?
    However it only ever gets to 2% before the installation fails. When i hit the button to ask for a description of the error it opens up my web browser and gives me the following info.
    Exit Code: 15
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR:
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
    What's going on? It did this when i was trying to install the trial version and it's doing it now with the disc!

    When i run disk utilities i can see the premiere elements 12 disks in the laft hand payne but when i click on them nothing appears in the right hand payne for me to select, therefore repair disk permissions is left greyed out. Ideas?

  • Photoshop and premiere elements will not start

    If there has been an answer, I apologize for asking, I'm haven't gotten any answers from adobe chat and have reached frustration!
    I have photoshop and premier elements 9 on windows 7. They worked fine for about a year then both recently stopped working, they didn't open. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from the disk and they worked.
    A few days later, the same story. They stopped opening. I've only installed the programs on this one computer.
    I could reinstall again and see if that works, but I think there is a 2 computer license which I might have reached since I couldn't deactivate before reinstalling because I couldn't access the program. It also seems silly to reinstall every time I need to use it.
    All ideas appreciated!

    Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.
