Failed to Initialise Installer

Whenever I opened up any Adobe products (after recent Mac updates) they didn't open. So I uninstalled them and now that I'm reinstalling them, the installer fails to initialise.

I have an iMac (most recent update: OS  El Capitan, Version 10.11.16) and I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 6: Design Standard via disk.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Brigidm89097478,

As you have mentioned that you are not able to install your Adobe CS6 on Mac via disk, as it throws an error "Installer failed to initialize", i would recommend you to try downloading the product from here and try again: Download Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications.

Or else, refer to the below threads as similar issue has been addressed there:

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