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.
Lindy

I have the system "windows 8.1". When I try to install Photoshop Elements 9 I became the error Message; Photoshop can't be install, I need the Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. The setup will be closed.

There is a problem with IE10+ in that it is mistakenly seen as being IE1. To get around this either use a different browser or use compatibility view (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-10)

Hi 123jasen,
I believe you are trying to download the Creative Cloud.

When i try to install Photoshop Elements 10 why does it keep telling me to insert disk

I purchased a Wacom Bamboo Create and it came with a software package which included Photoshop Elements 10 but when I try to install it, it accepts my serial number but won't let me complete the process. It keeps telling me i need to "insert Photoshop Elements10" to continue.....but the software package disk is already in the disk drive. I have a macbook pro retina that runs on Yosemite....anyone know how to solve this?
thanks

When I try to install Photoshop CS2 I receive a message that PowerPC is no longer supported.

Hi,
I bought a new laptop to my company to work at, and now im trying to install Photoshop on it.
Since my last 2 versions of Photoshop have been upgrades and i only have the full version of PS2.
I've been trying to install the PS2 but it keeps telling me "You cant open the installer cause PowerPC-program no longer is supported".
So i've been trying to download it via ur homepage instead (yes the products are registered).
But i cant seem to find any way to download my product from ur page? I've checked all over ur homepage but without any luck.
Is it not possible to download a product from ur homepage that i've payed quite a fortune for????
Hope i can get a reply asap.

ToreHagman did you purchase a new Intel processor based Mac? If so then the error message will be accurate. Looking at the system requirements for Photoshop CS2 it appears it required a PowerPC based processor as opposed to an Intel processor.
You might also be having additional problems if you are using 10.7 as Rosetta/PowerPC emulation support was dropped in 10.7 as well.

When I try to install Photoshop I'm constantly getting error 16. Please help ?

The error says that I'll have to uninstall and re-install the software but I cannot find any previous installations in Adobe folder in program files.

Hiya,
i had the same issue once I installed and starting using the Yosemite Beta(s). I installed the App Store Yosemite version, assumed Adobe would have the fix, wrong!!! Error 16 continued. back to adobe forums and finally found the FIX.... see below or check --> Updated Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator on 6/18, now nothing will open: Error 16
lifted from that thread... -> from DelisiArt "I found a solution on a post in the forum. Installing the Creative Cloud Desktop app caused my PS CS6 and Photoshop CC Cloud apps to go Error 16. After trying pretty much everything, opening Terminal and typing:
sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe
instantly fixed the problem."

What is the exact error message?
Have you downloaded both files to the same folder on your hard drive?

Hi coogap,
Do you have any previous version Adobe products installed on your machine. Please perform selective startup and try installing again: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-vista/run-selective-startup-using-system-config uration .

Receiving the error Installation Failed when installing After Effects

I tried several times to download AE both through a trial of Creative Cloud and the "Download Now" button under the product. One time the download got to 99% and then abruptly quit. I'm on a Mac using OS 10.6. I have used PS, Illustrator and Indesign rather heavily for several years but have never tried AE. I wanted to try it and also the Creative Cloud at the same time.
It doesn't look very promising to me. Hope you get yours working.

I have branched this out to a new discussion. I would recommend you start with downloading and attempting the installation of the trial of After Effects. You can locate the trial at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=after_effects. If you are able to successfully install the software then please choose the option to License this Software after it is installed as a trial. You will then want to enter your Adobe ID tied to your Creative Cloud subscription.
If you continue to experience difficulties then you will want to utilize the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to automatically review your installation logs. Alternatly, or if you do not receive an actionable result, you may want to review the installation logs manually to determine the source of your difficulties. You can locate steps on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor). I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop. When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar. I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor. Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop? Thanks!

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
DNG Converter 8.8

If restoring system preferences doesn't work for you, you can try initiatting a chat session with adobe help support http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html.
You can also try reinstalling the application. After uninstall, please check if the AMT folder has been deleted from your previous install location.i.e. if you are using a windows 64 bit pc, check if the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\AMT has been deleted
