Why Adobe Installer CS6 is dumb as a rock

Hello!
My scenario is this. I'm trying to install the trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit. After clearing up several warning messages the error summary file was showing (mostly with soap and other CS cleaning tools), I am now left with two warnings and one error.
The error is this (I'll get to the warning messages in a minute):
ERROR: Failed to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
All right, Adobe suggests I go manually install this package despite the fact that it's been part of my system for several months. In fact, this wasn't even an issues before, since the installer never got to the stage of attempting to install this package.
When installing Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, if you already have it installed on your system, you'll get two options: either to repair the installation or remove the package entirely. I opt to remove it. I then proceed with reinstalling it. No luck with Adobe Installer. I still get the error.
Here's the fun part. If I uninstall Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, run Adobe Installer, get the error and quit the app, and then try to reinstall the package again, I get the option to uninstall it! Holy cow! So Adobe Installer did install the package?? What gives?
No way of getting around this.
As for the warnings... Here's one.
WARNING: DS013: Payload {CD693E49-C5EF-4FA6-9037-9B636931C02B} AmericanEnglishSpeechAnalysisModels 1.0.0.0 is already installed and the session payload yada yada yada...
How does one uninstall this AESAM 1.0.0.0? It's now showing up anywhere; not in any of the Adobe folders, on the installed programs list, the system registry. I dug up a trial version of Pr CS4 which I believe has version 1.0.0.0 in it, installed it and uninstalled it (allong with the AESAM). So technically AESAM should be non existent. Not so according to Adobe Installer.
Here's another warning. No idea what this is.
WARNING: DS013: Checking payloads upgrade/conflict relationships : Failed with code 1
How should I proceed? How many hoops does one have to jump through to install an Adobe product?

We need the full install logs.

  • HT1379 Why Adobe Illustrator CS6 does not open on startup

    I just downloaded this from Adobe Creative Cloud membership. All other apps work except this one.
    Any clues?

    System requirements... Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Core Duo processors do not support 64Bit. Essentially, if you can run OS 10.7, then CS6 apps are fine. Your machine won't run 10.7 (due to lack of 64bit support). You need a Core 2 Duo or better. If you do indeed have an Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro, it's much older than 3 or 4 years. The Core Duo MacBookPros were 2006 machines.

  • Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

    I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
    I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it.  I had to download ACR7 and install it.
    After the successful install of ACR7.3,  I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
    The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
    I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
    Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
    Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
    Adobe PS C6 13.0.4  x64
    I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
    Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

    Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help.  It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
    Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
    Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:
    Where do I go from here?

  • Extra Stuff That Adobe Installs with Photoshop CS6

    Just having gone through a test installation of Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 8 x64 virtual machine, I found it interesting that just after Photoshop CS6 went in Windows itself reported, through the Action Center, that a bunch of ''background'' programs were installed, and would I like to go into msconfig32 and disable them.  In short, even Windows thinks the stuff Adobe installs is excessive and potentially troublesome!
    As I prefer AutoRuns to msconfig32, I acutally did go and disable the software which I do not need running, to keep the system lean...  It turns out that I actually AM able to disable just about every ''background'' program that Adobe installed, and Photoshop still works just fine.
    Just to be clear, the only Adobe software packages I've installed on this VM are Adobe Reader and Adobe Photoshop CS6.
    Here's a list of various modules I have disabled without apparent downside:
    Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
    Adobe ARM (Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager)
    AdobeCS6ServiceManager (Adobe CS6 Service Manager)
    SwitchBoard (SwitchBoard Server (32 bit)
    Services started at bootup by entries in the registy key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services:
    AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date)
    SwitchBoard (Adobe SwitchBoard)
    Task Scheduler Entries
    \AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0-W8VMRP-NoelC (Adobe Updater Startup Utility)
    In the context of a Photoshop-only installation, about the only downside I can see for disabling these things is that since the auto-updaters have been disabled, occasionally I'll need to check for updates manually (e.g., Help - Updates... in the menus, when I hear on the forums that an update has been released).
    Many of these things run all the time, from bootup, whether we're using Adobe software or not.  It's no wonder people report that their systems "slow down" over time.
    Adobe:  Please consider offering a ''Lean'' or ''Custom'' installation mode in which these things are optional, and provide clear descriptions of what functionality they provide.
    Not everyone prefers to give up their system resources for a little extra convenience.
    (and no, I'm not interested in posting this ''feature request'' over on Photoshop.com and hoping for votes)
    -Noel

    Thanks.
    I've just looked over my Windows 7 AutoRuns settings, and it's pretty much the same stuff I listed above but in slightly different places.  On this system over time I have installed multiple versions of Photoshop (Ps 6.0, Ps CS4, Ps CS5, and Ps CS6) and disabled the unneded parts as I've gone along.
    Adobe programs I've disabled on Windows 7:
    Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
    AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0 (Adobe Updater Startup Utility)
    Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVers ion\Run:
    AdobeCS4ServiceManager (Adobe CS4 Service Manager)
    AdobeCS5ServiceManager (Adobe CS5 Service Manager)
    Shell extensions in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers:
    Adobe Drive CS4 (Adobe Drive Menu)
    Shell extensions in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers:
    Adobe Drive CS4 (Adobe Drive Menu)
    Task Scheduler Entries
    \Adobe Flash Player Updater (Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.2r202)
    Services/Drivers started at bootup by entries in the registy key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services:
    AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date)
    AdobeFlashPlayerUpdateSvc (This service keeps your Adobe Flash Player installation up to date with the latest enhancements and security fixes)
    SwitchBoard (Adobe Switchboard)
    adfs (Adobe Drive File System Driver)
    Networking layers started in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order
    AdobeDriveCS4_NP (Adobe Drive CS4 Network)
    By the way, the AutoRuns tool I mentioned comes from here:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    Keep in mind I don't have the full Creative Suite, just Photoshop, and I am willing to check for updates manually.
    Please understand that fooling with parts of the system like this can be touchy, and you might not want to attempt these kinds of operations unless you're familiar with Windows system management.  That said, Autoruns makes it pretty easy (just uncheck / check a box) to disable things and re-enable them.

    When I open Adobe Bridge CS6 and try to do a search within my external hard disk, it will give results from my internal hardisk only?! this is the 1st time I encounterd such strange issue. Because of this I do my search with windows and then browse each result with Bridge! which really annoying.

    You can do a search of an external drive if the OS permissions are OK.  Bridge will not search across different drives however.

  • Can I buy "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended", choose the platform "Windows" and then install it both on a Windows PC and as second installation on a MacBook Pro (on OS X)?

    Hello everyone,
    I want to buy "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended" but have to choose a platform (Windows OR Mac) during the buying process. When I buy Photoshop, I'm allowed to install it on a second Computer, but use just one copy at the same time.
    Is it possible to install the same licence both with the Windows PC and a MacBook Pro with OS X on it?
    Thanks!
    Sincerely,
    Mo

    a ps license allows either 2 pc or 2 mac installations.  to install on both mac and pc, you must purchase two licenses, or subscribe to adobe cc which does allow 1 pc and 1 mac installation for all adobe programs.

    Hi STLCOP_IT,
    Please check for Windows Installer is set to manual and started. Navigate to start/run/Services.msc/Select Windows Installer and check it should be set to manual and services status should be started. If this does not work perform selective startup and try installing again: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-vista/run-selective-startup-using-system-config uration.
    Try installing from hidden admin: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/
    If still the same issue then kindly download Photoshop from the mentioned link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html . Create package again using AAMEE 3.1 and try to install.
    kindly let me no how it worked.

  • Adobe photoshop cs6 wont show installation

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to download the adobe photoshop CS6 trial version. When I attempt to install the program I can see the gui box shape of the installer. However, I see nothing inside of the box and cannot proceed to install the program? There is no words or options for me to select from. Is there anything wrong with my MBP or is it the application?.
    Thank you.
    MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    JayCz have you ever install Photoshop CS6 successfully on this computer previously?  You may want to check Font Book to verify the conditions of the fonts installed on your computer.  I would also recommend redownloading a fresh copy of the installation files.  Please see http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html for a link to download the Photoshop CS6 installation files.
