What do you do when "Installer failed to Initialize".

My installer for PS Elements won't initialize.  I have turned off pop-up blockers, redownloaded the software, restarted the computer.  Tried the Akamai install after I purchased the product as well as tried coming at it from installing the trial version. Nothing works   The message tells me to go to Adobe Support Advisor but it is far too complicated.   How do I get this program installed I am on on iMac OSX 9.6.2
Thanks.

  • For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed?

    For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed ?  This has happened for the past two days.  I have changed nothing.  It happens at home and at work.  What do you do?  What has happened?  Thank you.

    What are you trying to do when you get this error message? Is it related to mail, connecting to the iTunes store, Facebook/iMessage, your internet ISP? All of these are different servers.

  • What do you do when you get a 'connection to mail server failed' message?

    What do you do when you get a "connection to mail server failed" message?

    if it used to work and you did not change anything then it's most likely the internet connection or the mail provider server which are having the  problem in which case you wait
    if not then they changed their settings and you needs to adjust to their new settings
    or your carrier changed their settings so they block the required ports

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

    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.

  • When I'm installing the Adobe Application Manager 6.2 the installer fails to initialize!

    I've downloaded the new Adobe Application Manager so I can download my CS6. Everytime I try to install it, this pops up:
    We've encountered following issues
    Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
    So I did download it, but then this pops up:
    "Adobe Support Advisor" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
    Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the MAc App Store and indentified developers.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks!!!

    Hi Barmbs,
    It sounds like there might be some restriction in relation to your user account permissions when installing. You might try creating a new administrative account and installing from there. Be sure to give it rights to administer the computer.
