    Its an permission related issue.

    Try to give read/write permissions to the below locations:

    /Applications/Adobe*

    /Applications/Utilities/Adobe*

    /Library/Application Support/Adobe*

    /Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/

    /Library/Preferences/

    /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/

    /Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe*

    /Users/[user]/Library/Caches/Adobe*

    /Users/[user]/Library/Caches/com.adobe*

    /Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe*

    Also, repair the disc permissions.

    Please try the following steps if someone is facing this issue

    - Run the CS cleaner tool ( not required if you have some programs already installed)

    - Enable The root user in MAC

    give read/write permissions to the below locations:

    /Applications/Adobe*

    /Applications/Utilities/Adobe*

    /Library/Application Support/Adobe*

    /Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/

    /Library/Preferences/

    /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/

    /Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe*

    /Users/[user]/Library/Caches/Adobe*

    /Users/[user]/Library/Caches/com.adobe*

    /Users/[user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe*

    Don't worry if couple of them are not there in the system

    - Verify and then Repair Disk Permisssions

    - In case if it doesnot work then restart the system and Boot in the Safe Mode

    - run the install again and it should work

    Could you please provide the exact error message you are receiving?  Also what have you tried so far to resolve your difficulties?  Have you run the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to automatically review your installation logs?

    Enable root user account and then run the installation.
