Reinstall Elements - "Rolling Back Action" Error

I am trying to reinstall Elements 7. I need to do this because I had a system problem and I needed to do a clean new Windows XP install. As a result of the XP reinstall, I have had to reinstall all my programs.
What happens with Elements is that I get to the screen that says "Registering Product" and the system stops, gives me a message that says "rolling back action" and the installation stops.
I called Adobe install help and they were less than useless. They first had me run the Windows Installer Utility followed by the Adobe CS4 Clean Script. Neither program found any problems and they did not help. They then had me set up a new User ID on my computer and told me to log on as the new user. Again - no joy.
I have successfully reinstalled Elements 3, Lightroom 2,5, Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Acrobat without any difficulty.
When I did a WEB search on this problem, the only useful thing that I found was Adobe Service note kb406851 which talks about removing a cache file. I do have that cache file but the note also says that I may have to reenter the serial numbers for my other Adobe programs. I am loath to take this step.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This might be happening because of some of the bits of PSE 7 which didnt got removed from the machine while you removed/uninstalled PSE7.
Try following the steps mentioned in the below link and make sure that all the bits have been removed and then try to install PSE7 again.

Hello there Unicornbarf534,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are unable to successfully install iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting instructions in this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Here is a general outline of where the troubleshooting will take you:
General installation troubleshooting
1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
2. Completely remove iTunes and related components
3. Install the latest version of iTunes
Additional troubleshooting
After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
2. Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters
3. Get the latest Windows updates
4. Disable other conflicting software
Additional Information
If you only need to install QuickTime, or if iTunes installs but QuickTime installation did not complete
Try downloading and installing the standalone version of QuickTime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Be sure you download the version that does not include iTunes.
If the steps outlined in this article don't help, you may be able to find a solution to your issue by searching the Microsoft support website.
All the best,
Sterling

Apple Mobile Device Service won't install, "rolling back action"..

I reformatted my Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 2 32-bit) and reinstalled iTunes. For some reason, my iPod Touch 3G wouldn't sync so I decided to uninstall then reinstall everything. When I reinstalled, however, AMDS was missing, and during a few more installations, I saw "rolling back action".
So I dug around on here and Google and tried installing AMDS seperately (extracting iTunesSetup.exe). But it's not working and it's been taking me quite a while. Could anyone help me fix this issue?
Add: I tried doing basic things such as saving the exe file instead of running, Running as Admin, rebooting.. I also tried sfc /scannow and it successfully repaired all files.

Can't install itunes 11.0.1 on windows 7...get a Rolling Back Action message

Hi...I cannot install iTunes 11 on my Windows 7 PC. The installation goes all the way through and I get a "Rolling Back Action" dialog at the end and the progress bar just goes backwards.
Why is this happening?

Not an error that I've seen. What stage of the process are you at when this happens?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Installing itunes + quicktime rolling back action issues

hey, i know this has been mentioned before, but i have been searching hours on end to try and fix this and nothing so far
I just got an ipod touch, and when i go to the apple site to download the itunes and quicktime, i go to install and it keeps rolling back action and in the end it says that "quicktime was unable to install, itunes needs quicktime to install". I tried downloading both of the separately and they both keep rolling back actions. I dont have itunes or quicktime installed on my computer previously, and I am running them as administrators.
this is really frustrating as I cant even turn on my ipod touch because I cant install itunes, any help with this problem?

seein if anyone has a chance to help out

ITunes 64 bit installer rolls back action on win 8 64 bit system

I do not know what i am doing wrong, I just bought a new win 8 64 bit system and iTunes keeps rolling back before the install completes. I have tried running it as administrator and turning off firewall but it did not work. Please Help.

Apple iPad appears to be under "Portable Devices" section and driver is from Microsoft. There is no driver under USB-section and instructions that provided in first reply I have gone thru and they are no go with this problem - they are more likely for older iPod etc devices and dot with issue to deal with 64bit/32bit things. The picture (image.jpg) gives me unfortunately just general error...

Roll back action

Cannot install itunes to windows 7 (64). Keep getting Roll Cak action. Help

Do you have the exact text of any error message? Are you using the 64-bit installer? If not do so, otherwise try uninstalling iTunes and/or any other related Apple software, then reboot and try again. Use an account with administrative rights.

Often your updates are horrible! Offer easy ways to roll back your errors!

Firefox 20 is a bad joke. From now on, I am disabling automatic updates. I don't care about security from FF. I have done other things that keep me secure; I don't need bad programming messing up my browsing.
I like the flexibility of FF, but your highly frequent updates have led to mistakes, and a poor user experience. Please be more careful and release new major updates no more often than once every six months.
As for me, there is a javascript error that pops a box up, saying "Error: missing ( after for" every few seconds. Really annoying, to the degree that I might switch to Chrome.

Both of you need to do some basic troubleshooting to find out the '''real cause''' of your problems related to the Firefox 20 update, which is probably an issue with an add-on you have installed.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

PSE11 - installing error 1935 rolls back

I have tried several suggestions to install PSE 11 on my Windows 7 computer, without any success. The installation stops, rolls back, and error 1935 shows up. Adobe, nor Microsoft, seem to have a clue on what will work on my machine. Some suggestions get too deep into the computer for me to follow. Since I am not that advanced in tinkering in areas that I could screw up the parts of the machine that works, I wonder if Windows 7 has a problem that cannot be fixed. Others have experienced the same issue with error 1935.
I am not willing to try Windows 8 if Microsoft cannot fix this problem on 7.
For now I am stuck without my new version of PSE being usable.

The following article is for Acrobat or Reader but might work for you:

Rolling Back Installation: Elements 10

Does anyone have any fresh ideas how to fix this issue? I've tried every trick in these forums and none of those solutions work. Specifically, I'm trying to install Photoshop Elements 10. I think the problem started when I installed Acrobat and then had Revo uninstall it. It took a lot of my other Adobe products with it. Elements 10 will not install anylonger. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi brianhood,
As you said that Photoshop Elements rolls back after 90% then could you please try these steps first and afterwards try installing Photoshop.
Please rename the OOBE Folder from this location
Windows:-
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
After renaming the OOBE Folder try installing Photoshop Elements first and once finished then download and install the latest version of AAM mentioned in the other forum.
Let us know if this helps.
regards,
Abhijit

Unable to install AppleMobileDevise.Rolling back -- Errors before AMDS could be configured.

Unable to install AppleMobileDevise.Rolling back --> Message : Errors before AMDS could be configured.

"the installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured".
That message sometimes comes at the end of a chain of error messages? If you get earlier error messages prior to that one, could you let us know what the earlier errors say, please?

Problem Reinstalling Elements 8

I installed the program and it now indicates that the online capacity has been exceeded and I can no longer
open the program. I would like to change back the backup/synchronization to off, however I cannot open the
program. I then uninstalled the program satisfactorily and then attempted to do a reinstallation. This attempt failed
and when I attempted a reinstall everything went fine until reaching "Registering Product" procedure was reached,
then the installation processed to a "Rolling Back Action" commenced.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue. Thanks

I appreciate your response, I have performed the operations that you have
recommended, however this has not resolved my issue. In addition I have run
the Microcircuit Clean Up Utility.
I reinstalled the program and it now indicates that the online capacity at
photoshop.com has been exceeded which prevents me from opening the program
beyond the Welcome Screen. I have changed back the backup/synchronization
feature to OFF however the storage bin is still filled to capacity. I cannot
open the program by double clicking the "Photoshop Desktop Icon".
What I wish to do now is a clean reinstallation of the Elements 8 program
with nothing in the storage bin or the current catalog organizer. You
previously recommended that I delete the cache.db, would you please describe
the steps to accomplish this operation.
So far the use and application of PSE 8 has been a disaster, so your
assistance in resolving my issue will be appreciated.

Am trying to reinstall photoshop elements/premiere elements 9 back on my pc but when it gets to installing shared technologies it freezes and then rolls back.

I don't know what is going on with this. Photoshop worked but the premiere elements suddenly kept freezing so I un installed and am trying to reinstall but keep having the same issue. This is from a purchased dvd set. At one point when it got to this phase, the dvd started making an odd noise then roll back. I try again and again with no odd noise but still the same issue. It's not the pc I've had that remotely checked and other stuff installs. What gives? I NEED this fixed pronto

glenda178
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 running on? For now, for the details below, I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
You are experiencing the known Shared Technology installation error syndrome which can hit any version of Premiere Elements on any computer operating system. There is no one fix. Lots of home remedies.
The fix that has worked for me consistently lately is this:
Local Disc C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder is the OOBE Folder. Rename the OOBE Folder from OOBE to OLDOOBE. Close out of there and try for the Premiere Elements 9 installation again. (Do not forget to do the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update after you have finished the Premiere Elements 9 installation.)
The following is a sampling of what some others have gone through with this particular error
Re: Premiere Elements 11 "installing Shared Technologies" error during install
Please let us know the outcome. We will think about this some more depending on your results.
Thank you.
