    Well looking at the log you've posted, I came across this article:

    This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.

  • Hello, I bought Lightbox4, but it was not compatible with XP that was on my computer so I bought wind

    Hello, I bought Lightbox4, but it was not compatible with XP that was on my computer so I bought Windows 7 now it works fine, I also Photoshop Elelements 11, I was using CS3 which I like a lot, I just tried of torus - download it again and the message I have is that the installer is corrupt, what can I do? I can't afford to buy it again can you help me?

    You can download the versions inherited from here:

    Just make sure that you are obedient to the correct installation order - older versions must be installed before new tricks, i.e. your CS3 must be installed before LR4 and PES 11. in fact, your mistake of corruption could be just that - envcountering CS3 stuff it does not understand because it is newer than himself.

  • Could not load the LR 6 on my laptop - I get "update serial number: serial number you provided is valid, but calling it a product was not found on this computer."  I downloaded, from the Adobe Web site and given the serial number when I bought L

    I'll put up a new Macbook Pro the retina, bought this week, and try to install the copy of LR 6 I bought in September 2015.  It is currently loaded on my old Macbook Pro.  I understand that my license allows me to install this on two machines;  This is particularly important now that I move from an old machine to a new one.

    I downloaded the complete file of the LR6, but when I try to install, I get "update serial number: serial number you provided is valid, but calling it a product was not found on this computer."

    I gave the serial number under my account on the Adobe website and delivered when I bought LR 6 September 2015.

    It is said to "Select a product", but only gives me options of Lightroom 1-5, not 6.  My new LR 6 license is useless just 6 months after purchase?

    I opted to buy 6 LR on perpetual license rather than a subscription monthly CC, as my country's currency is devaluing rapidly and I need to be able to afford access.  But now Adobe does not seem to recognize the validity of the copy that I own.  In fact, it is difficult to find a reference to LR 6 on the Adobe web site.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    It shows the message you have purchased an upgrade license, and it asks you to select the older version that you upgraded and provide older version serial number as proof that you are eligible to use the upgrade.

  • When trying to install Micro Cookbook 5.5 program get this message "this version is not compatible with the version of windows that you are running."

    Original title: MIcro Cookbook 5.5 install problems on Windows 7

    When I try to install a recipe program I get this message.  This version is not compatible with the version of windows that you are running.  Check the system information of computers to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or a or x 64 (64-bit) version of this software and then contact the editor.  I knew how to do this job of file transfer to the 32 bits of the 64 folder, but it won't let me install the program.  This software is no longer made.  The program is Micro Cookbook 5.5

    Do not transfer you files x 86 or x 64, that simply do not work and other issues.

    The program is designed for Windows 9, and if you have a version of win7 64 bit and the origonal is a 16-bit program, which she may very well, it will not install or run on 64-bit PC, so err msg you see.

    If the installation of the drive try this, locate the setup.exe, rt click & Select compatibility and select Windows 9 *.

    The two areas are running UCSM 2.2 (6 d). Central UCS is 1.4(1a).

    I found a bug that suggests this may be due to the presence of a policy to Boot, but the workaround solution (remove the startup policy) does not work in this case.

    So, anyone know what might be going on here?

    Thank you

    Richard,

    Please check the following bug: CSCuy07572

    You can use the global default and should work completely correctly.

    You can choose the version that is required here.

    Non-policy default will be a problem.
