Setup could not initialize. This could be due to a missing file.
Hello. I am a PC user, and I am trying to solve a problem with the installation download links listed on this page. When I try to run the installer, I get the message listed in the topic.
Initially, I tried to download products from the creative cloud desktop app, but while the download should start, it would not be completed entirely due to an error (I don't exactly remember the message). I ran the creative cloud cleaning tool, installed the Creative Cloud Desktop App and tried to start the download again. But it did not work.
So now I'm done trying to install them manually and this is where I am now.
Can someone help me please?
start at the top and work your way down to apply applicable patches until your problem is solved.

If your error is:
"Setup failed to initialize. File not found. ' or 'could not initialize installation. This could be due to missing files.
first of all, rename folder OOBE OOBE.old.
to find the OOBE:
Win 64 bit OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
Win 32 bit OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
Mac os: HD > library > application support of > adobe > caps
Mac os: USER > library > application support of > adobe > OOB
If it fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
If you use an installation dvd:
Copy the contents of the drive in a desktop folder and install from this directory.
If you are using a mac:
1. try to create a new user account in Mac with administrator privileges.
2. connect to the new user, navigate to Mac HD > Application > utilities > Adobe Installer folder, locate products such as Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and uninstall the
3. navigate to the user library > Application Support > Adobe and Adobe put in the trash.
4. navigate to Mac HD > library > Application Support > Adobe and Adobe put in the trash.
5 restart the installation.
If everything is applicable above fails, check your Setup logs:

Setup does not initialize, CS5 Web Premium Mac OSX 10.7.3
OK, I got a trial of Dreamweaver 5.5 on my Macbook which has expired. I uninstalled and now I am trying to install our web premium cs5. Error, "Installer could not initialize".
Downloaded the Adviser for help, it says there is no problem.
Any ideas?
Rich
Do not install the application on the netwrok such that there could be some network issues that you might face. Therefore, lets take a machine with DVD and copy the contents of the DVD on the desktop and then back on the machine you want using the flash player. Try to install CS5 and check if that helps.

Having difficulties to install Catalyst! Setup will not initialize!
I use a Mac.
I downloaded Flash Catalyst beta 2 four times and each time the "initialization Installer" window that appears first when you launch the Setup from the disk image file, nothing happens. Charge of the blue bar and a file named 'PDApp' launches in my dock. The loading bar "initialization Installer" 100% and disappears, but the file "PDApp" does nothing. When I right click on its icon my my dock, he said "does not not, the Application" so I Force-Quit it. I used the disk utility to repair permissions, I've made sure were quit all other applications and windows were closed. I unplugged my external hard drive (1 TB) and my drive time machine (which are the same thing, just partitioned). I tried to install Catalyst four times over three days. I don't have Beta 1, but I have CS4 Design Premium. However, I have Mac OS Snow Leopard v10.6.1, and I think it's maybe the problem.
My hardware:
Early 2008 MacBook Pro with 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
4 GB OF DDR2 RAM
200 GB HARD drive, about 130 remaining
V10.6.1 Snow Leopard OS
Hi Chris,
Is your problem solved?
In the case where it persists could you try either of the following-
1. rename the settings.sol in your user to "~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol" folder and try to install again.
2 or create a new user on your computer, log in via the new user and try to install again.
Let me know if the problem persists and do not attach the PDApp.log file in the user folder to ' ~ / Library/Logs/PDApp.log'

Thank you.Hello
Welcome to the community of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.
Method 1:
Unnecessary files on your hard drive, disk space and can slow down your computer. Disk Cleanup removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.
Delete files using disk cleanup
Try to install the driver now.
Method 2:
Step 1: Clean boot
Put the clean boot computer and try to install the driver.

The Adobe installer failed to initialize due to a missing file.
Hello, moderators of the Adobe forums and members.
I want to install Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 v16, but when I launched the Install.app file, I got the below error message:
Obviously, Adobe Support Advisor is discontinued.
I searched in the Adobe forums for solutions (using the tool of CC cleaning...) but has not solved the problem.
I'm using macOS Sierra Public Beta 2, which compatible with CC (I searched the internet on compatibility).
The same problem occurs when I try to install the latest version of Adobe Application Manager, that I downloaded yesterday from the Adobe Web site.
I also checked the Setup under /Users/mydirectory/Library/Logs/PDApp.log log file and lines of 2 mistakes are there for each instance of the installation program launched:
01/08/16 08:55:55:841 | [ERROR] | | USS | PIM | PIM | | | 21948 | File "/ private/var/dossiers/bh/8dhwr2s92gnbqsy1ypfdt8480000gn/T/AppTranslocation/C5AAEDF4-2E49-4FBE-AF9A-BFAC6872B2BF/d/packages/core/PDApp.pimx" is missing. Cannot estimate the size of this set
01/08/16 08:55:55:841 | [FATAL] | | USS | The installation program. The installation program. | | 21948 | Error during installation of packages.
It will be so nice of you guys to give me a working solution thanks in advance.
Greetings.
Hello again,
I found the solution: I went into the folder where the file is missing (noted in the log file), to find that this directory is not created to. And/private/var /... is a system folder, so I thought that root privileges are required to create directories here.
Therefore, I opened the file DMG containing Photoshop CC, right click on the file Install.app, Show Package content.
then I went to content/Mac OS.
Now, I opened the terminal, so I typed: sudo, a space, and then I did a drag and drop the file in the "Mac OS" folder in the window of terminal and supported on input.
The installer put the successfully initializing
I think that will work for everyone having this problem and did not find a solution.
Have a good day all.
