Premier Elements 11 trial doesn't run

[jeffrey.resnik]

I downloaded and installed the trial version. It seemed to install correctly but when I select the program in the Start menu or click on the desktop icon that was created, nothing happens. So I uninstalled the program.

[Jeff A Wright]

Which operating system are you using?  Did you receive any error messages when installing the software?

[jeffrey.resnik]

I'm using Windows 7. No error messages. Is this maybe a problem re: 64bit

OS? Other Adobe programs I've downloaded don't run the 64 bit version even

though I have a 64 bit OS.

[Jeff A Wright]

Jeffrey you are facing difficulties installing other Adobe applications as well?  Which applications have you tried to install?

To determine the exact error for your Photoshop Elements installation please review the installation log files.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

I installed the trial version of the e Learning Suite. The 64 bit

applications didn't run but the 32 bits did.

[Jeff A Wright]

Ok the e-Learning suite has some different dependencies.  I would recommend focusing on Photoshop Elements for the moment.  You may want to post to the product forum for which applications you face difficulties with the 64-bit versions with.

[jeffrey.resnik]

Well, I was focusing on Elements. You asked about other Adobe applications.

So, can you help with this?

[Jeff A Wright]

This was to help get a more clear picture.  You will want to review your log files as was previously indicated in message #3 to discover the cause of your installation failure.  Please feel free to post any questions you have regarding this process.

[jeffrey.resnik]

Okay, I ran the Support Adviser and packaged the files:

40-80693-201506032013. It found no errors.

Jeffrey I believe the relevant portion of your installation log is as follows:

At this point I would recommend you either contact our support team to work directly with a technician or remove all Adobe Creative software currently installed.  Once the Creative software is removed you will want to follow up with running the CS Cleaner tool.  You can find details on how to download and utilize this tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

From the installation logs it appears the installer is facing difficulties updating the OOBElib.  This is part of the licensing process used for a majority of Adobe applications.  This is why I would recommend first removing any other installed Adobe Creative applications.

[jeffrey.resnik]

I uninstalled all other applications, ran the cleaner tool successfully,

downloaded the trial version again, installed it, and get the same results

- the program won't run.

[Jeff A Wright]

Jeffrey at this point I would recommend that you contact our support team to work with them directly.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

Hi,

Would you please try & launch application from the following location directly instead of lauching the welcome screen from the desktop shortcut:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 11\Adobe Premiere Elements.exe

If the above one works, you're sure that the main application is working fine. Then, you may please try and invoke the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 11\Adobe Premiere Elements 11.lnk

If the welcome screen launches, then you can please right-click on the link & create a shortcut on the desktop.

thanks.

[jeffrey.resnik]

No such folder exists. I did find the exe in C:\Program files\Adobe where

there is Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe and Adobe Premiere Elements.exe.

Neither of those work.

[jeffrey.resnik]

Any help for this issue? I would like to try the program.

Jeff
