PS Elements 9 installer failing to initialize on Mac OS

I had a hard drive failer and am in the process of reinstalling everything.  I put my PSE 9 disk in and choose install.  A window pops up saying "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."  I downloaded the support advisor and it says nothing is wrong.  I tried to install the trial version and got the same message.  WTH!!!
Since PSE 10 is now out, I can't find anyplace to download even a trial version of 9 so I can at least put in my serial number and Adobe's website has NOTHING for PSE9.  I don't want to pay another $80 when I have a disk for 9 already.  Before my HD crash, PSE9 worked perfectly fine.
I'm not a happy camper.  I don't know what to do at this point.

Got it loaded.  It was a permissions issue.  For some reason my log-in as an admin wouldn't allow me to install the application.  I saw on another thread that someone had the same issue and they created another login as an admin and loaded it that way.  When I called Apple for another issue I was having I told them about this and what the  possible solution was and they talked me through creating a new user as an admin.  Once that was set up I put the disk back in and it loaded perfectly fine.   WHEW!!!  I'm a happy camper again.  I haven't decided if I'm going to delete that user or not.  Just in case I run into another issue down with road with any other applications.
Thank you to the Adobe forum for the information I needed to get this resolved.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 (& Premiere Elements 10) - Installer failed to initialize on Mac

    Hi, has anyone cracked the issue of PSE 10 failing to install on a Mac (OSX 10.7.3)? I've chatted to Support and surfed these forums and the only way it seems to install is by creating a new admin account. Not ideal.
    I've downloaded the software a couple of times and it makes no difference. There is obviously something different between the default admin account and creating another admin account but I can't figure out what.
    Appreciate any help or guidance.
    Thanks, Julian

    Hi,
    A lot of factors can be the cause of permission issues. A lot of applications modify native permissions in order to function as expected.
    It may sometimes be difficult to narrow down to the exact cause of the permissions issue.
    Creating a new admin account eliminates the need to individually fix the permissions in your default Admin account as it creates new access rights. Hence the application does not encounter any issues while being reinstalled in the new Admin account.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Photoshop elements 11 installer failed to initialize

    I am attempting to install photoshop elements 11 on a macbook, and am getting an error message "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    I downloaded Adobe Support Advisor, and it reported only the following error (although it is repeated many times):
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 11.0 cpsid_90243r4: Error DW020 or DW050 occurs during installation - Creative Suite 5.5, Flash CS5.5, Flash Builder 4.5
    Click here for details and corrective actions related to this issue.
    System Information :
    Operating System = OS X 10.8.2 (12C2034)
    Locale = en
    I followed the link for "details and corrective actions" - the link is http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/installation-error-dw050-dw020-cs5.html - and it simply says "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing" but the product did not install.
    How can I fix this so that it will let me install the product?
    Thanks in advance

    It appears that the Adobe Support Advisor was unable to detect the error which caused your installation failure.  Please review your installation logs manually.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

    Thanks,

  • ML 10.8.5 photoshop elements 9, installer failed to initialize.

    package for support 40-92900-072421102013

    ditto: can't get real path for source
    i also tried disabling my anti-virus software, no joy ;(
    installed it as root, problem solved.

    OpenDirectoryDude is this related to the other discussion you started at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5773847#5773847?  In that discussion you were trying to install Photoshop Elements 6.0 and faced difficulties.  You then stated that Photoshop Elements 11 did install successfully.  Is there a reason which you are now also trying to install Photoshop Elements 9?
    To diagnose why Photoshop Elements 9 is failing to install you will want to review the installation log files.  Please see Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you locate to this discussion.

  • Error message when installing Photoshop Elements 13 : Installer Failed to initialize

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC with Windows 8.1. I can't run the Adobe Support Advisor because it is no longer available. Can a Adobe expert get in touch? Forums are sometimes not adequate to find solutions.

    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and delete/rename the OOBE folder from there.
    Then install Adobe application manager from the below link:

  • How to install Photoshop Elements 11 on Macbook Pro 10.8.3 after the installer failed to initialize

    I tried several times to install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro (10.8.3) but the installer failed to initialize and the Support Advisor inspection could not identify any issue. I went today to the Apple Store to get help and the Genius guy couldn't resolve the problem either. He told me to contact Adobe Support and he gave me an Adobe token number.
    Does anyone knows how can I resolve this problem? Any help would be truly appreciate it!!!
    Thanks a lot!!!

  • Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install. Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize.

    Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install.
    ... Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.   
    ... Adobe Support Advisor message "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance. http://www.adobe.com/support."
    ... .... So far I have downloaded twice, to two different folders (Desktop and my default download folder). Neither option has worked.  Please help!  I'd like to download Premiere Elements 11, but with this kind of installation problem on PSE11, it seems a second program may be as much of a problem to try to install.

    As Mylenium has stated all we have is a very general error message at this point so it is impossible to advise you until we have additional details.  Please review your installation logs by following the steps listed in Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

  • Installer failed to initialize. Installing PS Elements 10 to a MacBook Air

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements to my MacBook Air and I get the following error:
    Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
    I did and it can not seem to find any issues.
    Help.

    I called into support last night because I am an impatient type and expect better response time. I was told the disk I had was damaged and I would have to download the file. I expected to at least to get a replacement disk as I just bought the program. I was told I have to pay to get the disk.
    This whole thing is so frustrating.
    I did at least get the program up and running.

  • When I try to install Photoshop Elements I receive the error installer failed to initialize.

    I am having the same issue.  Purchased Photoshop Elements 10 just a few minutes ago, and even though the download (direct download of PSE10) seemed to go fine, I ran the installer and got a message reading, "Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    After downloading and running Adobe Support Advisor, the message I got reads, "Inspection could not identify any issues.  Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance."
    Can you help?
    Thanks,
    Lindy

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have tried downloading and several times.  I have used the Akamai downloading method and the direct download.  I am able to download the .dmg file but not install the application.
    I am on a Mac Pro 2.93 GHz running OS10.6.8, and I have plenty of RAM (8GB) and hard disc space (>350GB).
    I have also placed a call to customer support.  Waiting for a call back.
    Again, thanks.

  • When ever i try to install photoshop cc on my laptop i keep getting this error "We've encountered the following issues  installer failed to initialize. Please download adobe support advisor to detect the problem."

    when ever i try to install photoshop cc on my laptop i keep getting this error "We've encountered the following issues  installer failed to initialize. Please download adobe support advisor to detect the problem."

    start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
    if cc (win):  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
    if, your error is:
    "Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
    first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
    to find OOBE:
    64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
    mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
    if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
    if you're using a dvd to install:
    copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
    if you're using a mac:
    1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
    2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
    3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    5. Start the installation again.
    if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:
