Failed to initialize the installer

Whenever I opened Adobe products (after the recent updates of Mac) they did not open. So I uninstalled them and now that I'm their discount in place, the installation program is unable to initialize.

I have an iMac (last updated: OS El Capitan, Version 10.11.16) and I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 6: Design Standard by disk.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Brigidm89097478,

As you mentioned that you are not able to install your Adobe CS6 on Mac via disc, as it throws an error 'Setup cannot initialize', I recommend trying to download the product and try again: applications download Adobe Creative Suite 6

Or if not, refer to the below threads as similar has been discussed there:

Installer [CS5.5] initialization failed. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.

  • Failed to initialize the installation program. Error 110. On Windows XP.

    Whenever I try to install LV6.1 or LV6.1 DSC Run-Time system, on my Windows XP machine, I always get the following error message:

    Failed to initialize the installation program. Error 110.

    I think it has something to do with the MSI or "Windows Installer". I tried to uninstall all of THE products of National Instruments, but it did not help. Any ideas?

    Hello. Thank you. I tried, but in fact, it did not help. However, after doing a little research on our, I found a solution by following these steps:

    1. reboot Windows XP in Safe Mode
    2. double-click on the Setup program to start the installation process
    3 cancel the installation process after it starts
    4. restart windows in normal mode

    Now, all my applications of MSI with setup.exe work correctly! Quite strange. Just for the record: this problem was not due to a Virus protection program (as all assumed first that many people) and it kept me from running applications (MSI?) of ANY installer from a CD.

  • Failed to initialize the installer problem.

    I used to have Photoshop CS6 installed and then I tried to install after effects CS6 but its installation finished with error, so if I tried to run it it would just crash, so then I used the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe to clean it and try again to install, but no use. I then tried to install everything with the cleaning tool and now I just can't install any adobe product that requires the same installer. And since the support tool has been abandoned (Adobe - Adobe Support Advisor), I'm stumped. I tried looking for other messages in the forum of the same install error but I can't find one that fits.

    So far, I have gathered some information from other forums on what information I need to post here:

    I found a solution to my problem!

    I went to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe and moved the OODB folder on my desktop (because remove it would be stupid if it does not solve the problem) so it was more in the adobe directory. Then my Installer worked well!

  • Failed to initialize the Application example in Hyperion Planning

    Hello

    I'm new on Essbase and Hyperion EPM system 11.1.1.1.0 and I'm trying to test the functionality of planning. I have installed and configured the EPM system, and when I run the Diagnostics of the EPM system, everything is successful unless connecting to Essbase Studio Server (which is a separate issue from another thread).

    I'm working with the example of planning application included with the installation. I followed the instructions given here from the blog of John Goodwin, but I encounter an error when I try to initialize the sample application. I also tried creating the application through the workspace, which is documented here. I get the same error during initialization of the sample application.

    I get the error message said: "failed to initialize the sample Application. See the log for more details. "Where this journal of planning? I'm running on Tomcat.

    When I try to create the database, following the blog of John, through the Administration > manage the database > Create, I also am getting an error on step 18 of 21: [console] verification of member formulas. The error reads as follows:

    What should I do to get this application example upwards and running so I can see what he does?
    How to initialize the sample application?
    Why can't create a database correctly (without the above error), so I can then load data into the database of the Consol via the Essbase Administration Services Console? Currently, the outline in environmental assessments do not check (it gives me the same list of members of the above error messages), and so I can't load the sampleapp_data into the database. If someone saw, please help. Thank you.

    -Scott

    Hello

    If you remove the application, back, restart schedule, create the sample application again and initialize you should be fine, then you can return the clock to its normal state.

    You always make the changes on the side planning and when you refresh these changes will be pushed to essbase (which you can see with EAS).

    See you soon

    I seem to have a problem re install the Vista 32 bit product supplied with my A100 - 02L recovery disk. I get a message "unable to initialize the raid class."

    Any ideas of what the problem may be Pls?

    Hi Bfab,

    When you get this error message exactly? You see that at the end of the installation during installation or recovery?

    I used the disk recovery from my laptop, very often, but never had a problem with it. It s still works correctly.
    If recovery disk doesn't work, it could be a malfunction of the equipment.

    Have you tested a normal disc of Microsoft Vista too?
