PLEASE HELP! Adobe CS6 Master Collection Trial is failing to initialize.

Jun 19, 2012 11:46 PM

Tags: #creative #fail #6 #collection #cs6 #installation #initialize

I have downloaded CS6 Trial three times now so it is not a corrupt download. Everytime I go to run the software it says "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." So I downloaded it but it says there is nothing wrong!

 

In the log file I get this:

 

Wed Jun 20 14:34:49 2012[INFO] Setup - =================  Exiting Installer with Code: 0  =================

    So I've got to delete CS5 first before I can start a trial of CS6?? Then when the 30 days is up completely reinstall CS5?

    Just looking at that link and I don't think this is my problem. It says:

     

    Bootstrapper requires certain installer components to be in place to load correctly. Otherwise, it displays the error "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."

    Run the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool and remove the product that you are going to install. See Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 (cpsid_82947).

     

    But mine doesn't say "File not found" anywhere in the error message.

     

    If it helps on my desktop when I try to install it an icon comes up for a second that looks like the dmg mounted icon with the word "core" underneath it.

     

    I'm on a Mac by the way. Specs are:

      Model Identifier:          MacPro4,1

    Restart in the Safe mode and then try and install the software.

     

    Find the link to restart the machine in the Safe Mode :- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/start-safe-boot-mode-mac.htm l
