Photo Shop Elements 15 - German Version - "funktioniert nicht mehr" after Installation

[MikiAP]

I've installed PSE15 dt. from a freshly bought package on Windows 10 x64 Pro dt. After starting it, there is immediately an error message:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 funktioniert nicht mehr (... does not work anymore).

No change when executed as administrator.

Two times de-installed and re-installed with reboot after each, no change, same error message.

Downloaded PSE 15 package from Adobe side, de-installed, re-installed with reboot, no change, same error message.

Reinstalled Microsoft Visual c++ Redistributable Package, no change, same error message.

There seems to be no way to get the application working.

PSE12 and PSE 9 have been and are still working on the same system.

System:

Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit Version 1703 Build 15063.483

x64 processor CPU Intel Core i-7 6700 k 4 GHz

RAM 32 GB

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Miki

This is sometimes caused by a component of free anti-virus or ad-aware software which may have been installed when bundled with another product update or browser add-on. Look for errors in the crash log by going to event viewer.

You may see something like:

Faulting module: LavasofTcpService64.dll

If so, remove the Lavasoft program and try launching Elements again. It may be listed as Web Companion.

• -Go to the Windows Control Panel >> Programs (Uninstall a Program)
• -Find and select Web Companion.
• -Click Uninstall.

Thanks,

Thank you, arshla jindal .

Uninstalling WebCompanion made PSE 15.0 work.There were no entries in the event log though.

I don't understand the dependencies but I can live without WebCompanion.
