Premiere Elements 11 installation will not start

Hi Folks,
The process stops when it gets to the installshield wizard window. I get a green progress bar, then the spinning mouse pointer pops up and the window dissapears. Shortly after that, the spinning mouse pointer goes away and nothing happens.
I checked as many forum posts as I could find, and did the following:
-read my troubleshooting logs - no errors listed
-made sure I installed to C drive
-updated windows patches (windows 7 64bit machine)
-deleted temporary files
-set up a new user account for the install, with admin privledges
-rebooted numerous times
I have tried to reinitiate the process using the setup.exe file in the root directory, but it also fails to progress.
Please note this was a download purchase. Download worked fine, extraction seems to have worked fine also (deleted and tried entire process twice just to see if there was a fluke first time around)
My PC specs are more than what is required by the program, and there is tons of space on my hard drive.
Any ideas? I am running out of options.
Thanks for any help.

Premiere Elements 8, organizer will not start

Premiere Elements 8, organizer will not start

tibbe1948
I would like to offers some suggestions for when there is a gap in the troubleshooting plan that you and SG are engaged in.
At that time, please consider:
1. Are you working from the 8.0.1 Update of Premiere Elements 8 Windows? If not, please do so.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Work with the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer Off. Check to make sure that they are Off. For Automatic Background
Rendering option, see Edit Menu/Preferences/General. For the AutoAnalzyer options, go to the Elements Organizer accessed from the Premiere Elements workflow, and there select Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options and shut them all Off if they are not Off already. If you cannot get into the Elements Organizer that way, put that action on hold for now.
3. Close the program. Go to
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Elements Organizer
8.0
Organizer
and in the Organizer folder change the name of the psa.prf file to psa.prfOLD and close out of there and try to open the program and the Elements Organizer.
Make sure that your computer is set for Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drive active so that you can see the path described.
4. Assuming that you can open Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 to the Welcome Screen even if you cannot open the Elements Organizer, go to the Welcome Screen
a. hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift (altogether) as you click on hold (about 15 seconds) that click on the Organizer tab in the Welcome Screen. After those 15 seconds, release the click on the Organizer tab, but not the Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and look for the Catalog Manager dialog which should have popped up. It has a nasty habit of hidding behind the Welcome Screen, so, if necessary, move the Welcome Screen to one side to see if it is behind it.
b. Create a new catalog using the Catalog Manager dialog.
Please review the above when you have finished other troubleshooting that you are currently pursuing.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export?

I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export? It also will not let me login. It says photoshop.com is temporarily unaivalable and to check my network settings. Error 400. Can anyone help me? I need to export this video as soon as possible.

You don't say which version of Premiere Elements you're using, but Photoshop.com was discontinued last year, so you won't be able to log into it.
As for exporting -- it's hard to give you specific information without knowing which version of the software you're using and on what operating system but -- which Share or Publish & Share option are you using and what is happening when you use it?

Premiere Elements 9.0 will not open

In August 2011 I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0 with a new Dell PC using Windows 7 64-bit. Since then I have used Premiere Elements many times for video editing without problems. The last time I used it was about 3 months ago. This week I tried to use Premiere Elements, but was unable to load it. The software would start to load up to the point of displaying the full screen with task bar, but without showing the individual “panes”, at which point it appeared to freeze. If I then tried to use the drop down menus (File/New/Project or Files/Open Project) an error message would pop up saying “Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.” after which the program would shut down. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling Premiere Elements, but it has not solved the problem. Any ideas how to fix it?

If the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 problem set in after the installs of any one of the programs installed, then you should rule that factor in or out for each systematically. Each would be a prime candidate for troubleshooting exploration.
But, before you do that, let us try deleting the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 settings file. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, it can be found in the path
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements Folder
9.0 Folder
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not correct the problem, then deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
IMPORTANT
a. Make sure you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so you can see the complete path.
b. Do not detour or get lured into a Premiere Elements 9.0 Folder instead of the Premiere Elements Folder/then 9.0 Folder.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Adobe AIR Application Installation will not start

I purchased a program called Video Alchemy which requires Adobe AIR to run but the installation window will not display and the installation does not start.
The Adobe AIR log install log file can be found here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59423416/Install.log
Here is a link to the VideoAlchemy.exe install file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59423416/VideoAlchemy.exe
Can anyone help me to get this program to install?

Thanks for the reply and solution MrSykes.
I uninstalled adobe AIR and ran a file and registry cleaner to delete any left over files and installs.
Then installed the v.15 Adobe AIR beta as recommended.
The cleaners I used (ccleaner & jv16 power tools) did find some temporary install files and remnants of the Video Alchemy install.
Tried the install again and still no installation window displays.
I'm running Windows 7 on my PC and even changed the installation file compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 to no avail.
Funny that it installed fine on my notebook with Adobe AIR latest version running Windows 7.
I'm watching task manager as I'm attempting the install and videoalchemy.exe has some cpu usage then drops to zero activity.
Then Adobe AIR application Installer starts up then cycles to zero cpu activity.
I'm stumped on this one :-(
Thanks again for investing the time on my behalf.
Regards

Premiere elements 9 workspace will not load up after reinstalling the software

i have been using premiere elements 9 on my laptop for a few years. recently, I took my laptop into the local computer store to have it cleaned up due to virus', they backed up all my data, and left me with nothing but my windows 7 and my backed up files (which is what I expected and asked for). After re-installing my Adobe Photoshop elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9, I cannot use the premiere elements 9 program. it only gets so far before closing. After clicking the premiere elements 9 icon, I am taken to the "Organize, Open project, New Project screen". upon selecting Open Project or New Project, it goes to the Premiere elements panel....that's it. I cannot open a workspace, tasks etc..... . If I try to open an old project (file>open>.....) nothing happens. nothing loads. same with file>new>...... if I keep trying , I get the message 'Premiere Elements has encountered an error and will close'
my Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 works just fine. came in the same package.
I have uninstalled premiere elements 9 twice now, and reinstalled it, same thing happens.
losing my mind a bit, as creating video is a hobby (youtube etc....) and I'm at a stand still.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Premiere Elements 10 content will not download?

Every time I launch the program it says I don't have the content installed. It says to insert the CD or download, I purchased a download version so I try to download and it asks me to select a folder and opens a browse window but no matter what folder I tell it to download it say to select a different folder and try again, even if I create a folder on the desktop it does the same - yes, I am using admin - any suggestions?

jmadl
Thanks for the follow up.
I am just starting my day. As soon as possible I will try to download that Premiere Elements 10 Content to my Windows 7 or 8 64 bit computer and see what problems I run into.
What is your download choice - All Content or one of the groups at a time?
I just did the download of just "Content 3....." without problem. The process initially required that I download the Akamai NetSession Interface which I did. Then I got the Browse for Folder message. At that time, I selected Desktop, New Folder which I named PE10 Group 3. The download proceeded to completion successfully.
Next I will try for the All Content download and see if I can get beyond the Browse for Folder message.
Keep in mind that my Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit has far less resources than your computer and that I did not stop to turn off firewalls or anti-virus for this test run.
I will report back very soon with further results. I am located on the east coast of the USA and, at this moment, that link to the Premiere Elements 10 Content seems to be OK. Internet connection is DSL (not highest speed).
To be continued...
ATR
Add On...the results for going the All download representing 2.95 GB, instead of just one group at a time, route was the same, that is, no problems with the request for designate a folder and the creation of that folder to accept the download.

Premiere Elements 11 application will not open!!

I just bought the combo PSE11 and PE11 and installed them both. PSE11 works great but PE11 will not open at all. I tried several uninstalls and installs, disabling windows essentials, defender, all spyware on my machine and everytime get the same result. PE11 appears to install fine but when you go to open application there is no response. I am using a Dell xps with intel i7 12 gig RAM running windows 7. Any help?

Welcome to the forum.
John T. has mentioned the #1 cause of PrE not launching - the video driver.
His questions are very important, and would be where I would start.
To restate:
What is the video card in your computer, both make and model?
What is the version of the installed video driver?
Is that the latest one? Note: with many computers from major mfgrs., such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., the computer company will re-wrap the latest drivers from nVidia, or AMD/ATI, so the user needs to go to the computer site, and get/check the latest available driver.
PrE must interface more intensely with the video driver, than does PSE, so it is common for PSE to run fine, but PrE to hang on an obsolete video driver. Even simple OS updates can render a video driver obsolete, and that is why video card mfgrs. will issue updates almost monthly. One little caveat here - there have been some noted issues with a few of the more recent AMD/ATI video drivers, the Catalyst drivers, and in some cases, users have had to roll-back their Catalyst drivers, to get things to work.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Elements 12 programm does not start anymore. What shall I do?

Some days ago I installed and it worked correctly. Since today permanently comes the message:"ElementsAutoAnalyzer does not work" and "Programm closed". Done a desinstallion and complete new installation - the same. (Win 7)

hildruths
Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit).
Is this definitely the Element Organizer does not work or the AutoAnalzyer feature of the Elements Organizer does not work.
If it is the Auto Analyzer feature of the Elements Organizer that is not working, then do not worry about it and use the "on demand" Run Auto Analyzer when you need the Auto Analyzer feature is needed. (Right click the file's thumbnail in Project Assets and select Run AutoAnalyzer). If the AutoAnalyzer feature is On in the Elements Organizer, then disable it in Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Media-Analysis.
Is there any message to close the Elements AutoAnalyzer.exe before proceeding?

Download of Elements 10 upgrade will not start. Tried several times and ways.

Download of the upgrade to Elements 10 does not start at all.

Try uninstalling the app, reinstalling it again, and upgrading that one. That works for me a lot of times, and for a variety of (legal, I can assure you) reasons we have two or even three different versions of eight different Adobe apps running on different computers. Re-install is something I used to try after four (or 30! Lol) hours of various fixes. Now I do it first and often do not need to try a second or third alternative fix.
We are textbook publishers. Hence the multiple copies :) http://www.AgainstTheClock.com
