Unable to install Elements 12 on Windows 8.1

When I try to install Elements 12 on Windows 8.1, the install fails.  It says it needs DirectPlay, but according to Microsoft, that has been depricated.  I'm caught in a vicious loop trying to get Elements 12 installed on my PC.  What's up with that? 

Sandeep,
I downloaded the file, but it will not open.  It has a .dmg extension, and apparently I don't have the necessary app to unpack it.Help please.
Gary

  • How Can I Install Elements in Windows 8?

    I have just purchased an Asus Vivo 11" S200 Notebook. I was to run Elements on the machine, but when I try to load it from disc, the Installation Wizard says that I need Explorer 4.0 or higher. The machine runs Explorer 10, but the Setup fails and closes every time. What do I need to do?

    Please try this: http://psekb.blogspot.in/2013/03/unable-to-install-pse-on-windows.html
    Let me know if it doesn't help.

  • Unable ti install elements 11 on Win 8

    I've been unable to install Elements 11 on Windows 8 Pro. I upgraded from Win 7 Pro. It says my Product key is invalid.

    The serial number you’ve sent is not an Adobe serial number. Please double check the serial number. It should be a 24 digit serial key and all numeric.

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

    Why not?  Should we guess at the issue or do you plan to provide details so that others can offer suggestions/solutions?

  • Unable to install ituns on windows 7 64 missing .dll file

    Unable to install ituns on windows 7 64. Installer states missing .dll file.

    Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
    IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
    Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
    Then:
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.
    Here is a link to that fairly lengthy thread.. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151777&tstart=-1

  • Unable to install Itunes in Windows XP

    I am unable to Install Itunes oin Windows xp professional SP2, it gives below error: Let me know how to get it installed

    OK, there is still not much to go there.
    I assume you are using 32 bit XP Pro, iTunes will not install on 64 bit XP but you should get a different error.
    Lets try installing the components of iTunes separately.
    Download the iTunes installer and save it in your downloads folder.
    The files will be either itunessetup.exe or itunes64setup.exe for a 64 bit system.
    Open notepad and copy the following 3 lines into it.
    md temp
    itunes64setup /extract temp
    pause
    Remove 64 for 32 bit itunes.
    Save the file as extract.bat into the same folder that contains the itunes installer.
    Open the downloads folder and you should find the extract file that you saved. Double click on it and a black window will open telling you what it is doing. When its finished, press any key to continue.
    You should find that a folder called temp has been created containing all the itunes msi files.
    Install by double clicking on them  in this order:
    Apple Application Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Software Update
    iTunes
    Make a note of any error messages and which component it relates to.
    Also use the Windows Event viewer to see if there are error messages at the time you attempted the installs.
    The following article gives information about using the Event Viewer:

  • Unable to install Itunes on Windows 8

    Unable to install Itunes on Windows 8.
    It states Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified, and does not fully down load.
    I have tried :-
    Uninstall Itunes and then reinstall
    Uninstalled Itunes then connect Iphone to computer and tried to source relevant Itunes package.
    ininstalled Itunes then tried to install a later version
    Even tried an Itunes 64 bit installer then tried to download Itunes.
    All the above have been unsucessful. I have a 64 bit operationg system, x64 based processer laptop computer.
    I have spoken to the staff at apple store who were all really nice but could not offer any help unless I had an apple computer.
    Please help as I have two Iphones and an Ipad which are limited without Itunes.

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    If you still have problems installing iTunes download and install 7-Zip (free) and a fresh copy of the current installer from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ or use these direct links (which will go out of date at some point):
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-02-25)
    iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-02-25)
    Then unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip and install them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). If any of the components still fail to install you may get more useful error messages as to why not.

  • Unable to Install OBIEE on Windows 2008 Server R2

    I am Unable to Install OBIEE on Windows 2008 Server R2. It is giving the error
    Oracle Business Intelligence is not supported on this Windows version. Oracle Business Intelligence is only supported on Windows XP x86, Windows 2003 x86, Windows 2003 AMD64, Windows 2003 EM64T, Windows Vista x86, Windows Vista AMD64, Windows Vista EM64T, and Windows 2000 x86.
    But is there any patch to install the OBIEE on Windows 2008 Server R2

    Hi Sk
    I think it might be due to compatible issue.So check the properties of the install.exe file and change the compatability to windowsxp or windows 2003 ,then try to install .I think its going to work.Because i installed OBIEE10.1.3.4 on windows server 2008.

  • Unable to install Elements 13.

    Unable to install Elements 13

    Hi,
    If you are unable to sign in then something on your system is blocking the access. Elements uses a different port than normal which is why you can sign in using your browser but not the application.
    You can try disabling your firewall to see if that is blocking you.
    The following document is for CS but contains information that will affect elements too.
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
    Recently, an add on has been found to block the Adobe access - please see this thread.
    How do I get past the required "sign in" requirement on Elements 12 EDITOR after entering my password?
    Good luck

  • Unable to install Elements

    I recently purchased a camera bundle and included in this was Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 (2 discs only).  So far I have been unable to install this on my pc (all system requirements are met).  What am I missing/doing wrong?

    What happens when you try to run the disk?
    Windows 32, 64 or Mac?

  • I am still unable to install itunes in Windows Vista

    I have tried to run Fix it 4 times now after doing other things suggested in the Apple community and I am still unable to install itunes. Do you have any other ideas?
    I've been uninstalling/reinstalling and using CCcleaner, sfcscannow and nothing seems to correct error msg 2- corrupt files found/unable to fix.  Now what??????
    I am using windows Vista.  I NEED help!

    nothing seems to correct error msg 2
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
