Problem with User settings when installing Adobe Creative Suite

Interesting problem which seems more related to the Mac OS than to the Adobe installer. Each time I tried to install the Suite I kept getting the error message: "Installer Failed to Initialize" immediately.
I tried the remedies on the Adobe website with no help.
Finally I found a discussion thread that suggested I try creating a new Administration User - log into that account and try installing the suite from there .
It worked like a charm and installed properly. Since the programs were installed in the Application folder I was able to switch back to MY User account and use the programs fine.
Can anyone hazard a guess as to what "evil" files in my Home folder caused this problem?
Could it happen to other program installations with similar files?
Thanks.

We cannot know. Your information is hugely insufficient. Check Your Windows Event Viewer and tell us the "fault module" plus provide detailed specs for your computer. Runtime errors usualyl mean that A DLL is missing, a security tool is blocking critical functions or that the processor is not compatible in teh first place. Just as well this could be a driver issue with your SATA bus or whatever.

  • Where can the install.app file be found when installing Adobe Creative Suite CS5, download version ?

    I have the same problem that the user who wrote the post "Trouble installing content files on Mac", but his post went unanswered. Here is the link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4221280. I am trying to install the adobe creative suite CS5 downloaded from the internet, and what I have is a dmg file. When I open it, there is only a read me and a folder named "English". In the read me I go to the install instructions, and they tell me to double-click in Install.app, a file which doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong?

    I downloaded it from Adobe Store. When I open the dmg file I see the read me.pdf and the English folder, nothing more. Perhaps the problem is that I have already installed the program in one computer, this is happening to me trying to install it in another one. Could that be it, that I need another license in order to make it work?

    Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a  64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK  for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?

    I think you'd be much better off asking in the Acrobar forum, Acrobat

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

  • Problem installing Adobe Creative Suite CS4

    Hi, I am having a problem installing Adobe Creative Suite CS4. I have uninstalled CS3 and installed my new CS4 and it installs fine. I go to open one of the programmes such as InDesign and I get an alert message "Licensing for this product has expired". I used to have a trail version, so uninstalled that too and still get the same problem, is there anything I can do?

  • Problem installing Adobe Creative Suite 4

    I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium. I enter the serial number at the back of the DVD case and that works fine, but then I reach a screen called Upgrade Check. There, I select what I had before (Macromedia 8), and enter my Upgrade key starting with DWD800-02416 ...
    But it tells me that my serial number doesn't match the product...am I not supposed to enter the Macromedia key 8 license key there? What am I doing wrong? And most importantly, can you help?

    There are many different upgrade packages for CS 4. It may be that you purchased the wrong upgrade package. For example, the upgrade package from CS 1 to CS 4 won't work if you purchased purchased Photoshop CS 3. The upgrade DVD from Photoshop CS 3 won't work if you had purchased the CS 3 Design Suite. Each upgrade package/dvd is specifically designed for the programs you had previously purchased.

  • INSTALLING Adobe creative suite 3 Design Premium JAVA ERROR

    Hi people, I'am having a problem installing Adobe creative suite cs3 on my iMac, when the dmg is loaded as the first sys check , installer give an error saying : "Java Script Alert - Critical errors were found in the setup - Imcompatible payloads already installed. Please see the Setup log file for details."
    I've recently installed Processing, and needed to install Java too. I think I've installed Java sun SE. (actually I'm a Mac noob lol)
    So , I think that I've just to clean all the old java sys that I installed and reinstall a compatible version of Java, right??? But I don't know How to do that actually!
    Can any one help me please
    Thnks a lot
    Bella

    Hello Bellawood,
    This Java script Error problem, if you installed CS3, AI, PS or ID or any application already have in system or you uninstalled it, and installing again... this Java Script Error message will come.
    This guide line is for Mac OS X only not for tested on Window system.
    There are 2 ways to install again CS3.
    1: format your system and install CS3 or remove all adobe folder your your system and install.
    2: If you already installed any CS3 application and installing any other and you are getting Java Script Error message... do this, in hard disk/library/application support/adobe/... remove caps and backup folders from there and keep in safe place and install your application... hope it will install. after installing run that application... and it will run, and if you will try to run already installed application.... it will not... because you removed that application backup and caps file from adobe folder. Keep backup and caps folder in safe place and replace backup and caps folders with earlier folder which you saved in safe place. and repeat this process.
    I know this is little tricky... and complicated. Better is remove all adobe files and folders from your system and install CS3 again.
    regards.

  • Trouble Installing Adobe Creative Suite

    Hi,
    Im trying to install Adobe Creative Suite from 2 disc images. It gets to the end of its install run and all the program folders appear in my applications. But when i try and double click on any of the program icons ie. Photoshop CS it doesnt start up. It kinda looks like it is starting up (bouncing icon in the menu bar) but then it just stops and nothing happens.
    Ive had this before with other disc image installers.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, don't believe you. We've had all sorts here ask point blank about installing software they've downloaded. If you truly did purchase the product, then either contact Adobe to get a replacement set of disks, or talk to your insurance company about a claim for the loss.

  • Installing Adobe Creative Suite 4 & Safari 4 Incompatibility

    I have been having a miserable time trying to install Adobe Creative Suite (CS) 4 on my iMac G5 (OS 10.4.11).
    I have the CS Master Collection and some of the applications have system requirements beyond the capability of my machine. Nevertheless, a custom install is allowed for the applications I meet requirements on.
    The problem is as follows:
    In order for me to run the custom installation, I have to get past an installer alert that tells me all of the requirements are not met and do I want to continue. With Safari 4 installed, however, the installer alert window comes up blank, i.e., no message and no options to quit or continue.
    Adobe's solution is to uninstall Safari 4 and to reinstall Safari 3.2.1. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/497/cpsid_49755.html. In theory, this would allow me to see the installer alert and continue.
    Using Amnesia I uninstalled Safari 4 (or so I thought). Then I downloaded Safari 3.2.1 and tried to install it, at which point the installer told me that a newer version of Safari was installed on my hard drive (presumably residuals of Safari 4). So, I tried to use Pacifist and Hunter Bridewell's instructions (See Apple Discussion Topic : Safari 4.0 (5530.17) cannot uninstall ) to load 3.2.1 in place of or in parallel to 4, which is in theory no longer on my hard drive. I can then load the version 3.2.1 application of Safari and it runs. The problem is that the CS4 installation keeps hanging up, and I think it's due to some residual configuration, root, etc. file that is still present related to Safari 4.
    Does anyone have any thoughts? According to Adobe, there's supposedly a patch to solve all of this on the Apple site, but I can't find it anywhere in the Apple downloads or any reference to it in the Discussion Topics.
    Anybody have any thoughts?

    Never heard of a patch from Apple for this problem. If Adobe talked about a patch they would have supplies an URL to the patch. To be honest it sounds like an Adobe problem and not an Apple problem.
    The URL you posted said to install under a safe boot. Have you tried that?
    Even tho you are installing parts of the suite that your computer complies to the system requirements for... You better check Adobe on this... There's no reason to further to muck your computer until you talk to Adobe.

  • Installing Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student Edition on Macbook Pro

    I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student eddition on a new Macbook Pro.  An Application called ARVATO downloades
    'Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium MAC.zip'.  When I try to open the file it just creates a CPGZ file.

    Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed.  The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

  • Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Are you talking about adobe creative cloud? 
    If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything.  I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it.  that means you really do not own it.
    About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud).  so ether way, it will take some space. 
    Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud.  The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions.  if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

  • I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suit 6 Deisign and Web Premium.

    Hi, I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suit 6 Deisign and Web Premium. It is the Sudent and Teacher Licensing. I was able to get my serial numbers but when I loaded the disc into my Macbook, nothing is popping up for further direction of installation. How should I proceed to install the software?

    You can download the installation files and use the serial number from the disc to activate.
