Trying to install upgrade of PSE 13, Installer failed to initialize. :-/
I'm trying to install the upgrade after purchasing it for the Photoshop Elements 13. I get the 7z icon, open it go to PSE13 then SEt up and run it. Then I get a message saying "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. " Then I'm directed to a troubleshooting page that really has me going around in circles... What do I do??
Should I uninstall the version I currently have and try installing PSE 13 using the key code??
I've been trying to set this up for about 2 hours now and feel like I'm just going around in circles. Please help.
Angela_castro_p I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine why the installer is failing to initialize. Most likely you will want to review the PDApp.log in this situation as it should contain the error preventing initialization. For information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files please see Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

Installer failed to initialize for Design Premium CS 5.5
I have tried installing Design Premium CS5.5 from the disc as well as fromthe download version. I had no trouble installing it before. I had to erase my hard drive and re-install everything - and now I cannot get my Creative Suite re-installed. When I double click the Install icon - I get the "Installer failed to initialize" error message. Any suggestions?
Without proper system information and other technical details nobody can tell you anything.

I downloaded the 32 bit version of photoshop cc 2014. When trying to install I get the message that installer failed to initialize and that this could be due to a missing file. Has anybody a solution>?
Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer? You need to do that.
I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

Trying to install Illustrator cs3, during the installation I am asked for photoshop cs4 disk I no longer have the photoshop cs4 disk
Do you own Illustrator CS3? An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

Your installation encountered errors. Installer failed to initialize. (CS5.5 upgrade)
I am trying to install CS5.5 on an HP laptop running Windows 7. It is an upgrade version. I had it installed once, but InDesign did not function fully (could not access any tools or choose any of my paragraph style definitions). So I uninstalled and tried again. Now I can't get past the "Finish" window that reads as follows:
Installation Status
Your installation encountered errors
Please try restarting your system and installing again
Installer failed to initialize
Contact Customer Support for further assistance
<Click> DONE
First let me say that contacting "Customer Support" is ineffectual. They will tell you that it is a tech problem and to contact Technical Support.
Before I began getting this message over and over, upon installation, I would be told that the resolution of my monitor did not meet minimum requirements and needed to be set to at least 1024 x 768. My monitor was set to 1600 x 900.
How can I get CS5.5 Design Premium to install on my laptop? TYSM (in advance) for any help.CyberAmazon54 I would recommend reviewing the installation logs for the Creative Suite 5.5 software you are trying to install. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation logs at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Installer failed to initialize... unable to install CS 5.5 - PLEASE HELP Student in finals week!
Problem: “Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
Background: Windows 8 became corrupt and I had to perform a full Windows Recovery (the “Remove everything and reinstall Windows” type).
Current Situation: I am a Senior in College, have Summer finals this week, my Senior project due, I am behind on my job design work, and I am going crazy because I can’t find anything/anyone to help me.
Set Up: Lenovo Y410P, Windows 8.1, CS 5.5 Design Standard Student-Teacher Edition (Yes, I have the media and product code/license key, as I purchased a valid copy in my university student store).
Here’s what I have done over and over again for the last SIX WEEKS!
1. Attempts to install from the original install DVD result in the following error, “Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
2. [I click] Get “Adobe Support Advisor”
3. [I see mssg] The Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued.. The tool has been replaced with [unnamed/unlinked] improved installation support mechanisms…
4. [I Run] “AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool” (see results below)
Note: I cannot run Windows Uninstall because, following Windows Restore, Windows doesn’t recognize that CS5.5 has been installed. I do still see the following folders in Windows explorer, but Adobe Support says "don't attempt to manually remove folders";
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\
\Adobe
\Adobe PCD
\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1
\Adobe Application Manager
\Adobe CerativeCloudCleaner Tool

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!!!http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-photoshop-elements- premiere.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,
LindyThanks 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.
