Why is my installation of Elements 9 not installing elements9.exe?

Question

To eliminate problems resulting from efforts to move from Elements 7 to Elements 9 on a new computer I have removed Elements 9 and reinstalled.  Reinstalling from the backup disk that came with the computer I am not getting the file elements9.exe.  Editor.exe works (if opened from the directory), but the other is nowhere to be found.  Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I may have discovered the source of my problem.  Trying to get past what seemed to be oddities in the s/w I uninstalled and reinstalled the program 3 or 4 times.  Yesterday I noticed a post by someone complaining that his Adobe s/w said he could install it on only two computers (he had 3), that it would install on only two.
No warnings came with the s/w on my new computer; perhaps I unknowingly exceded a limit—the s/w wouldn't know that my installations were all on the same system.  Since I can find no way to talk to Adobe, maybe there's no solution other than to try moving my old Elements and Premiere Elements 7 to the new system.
