Question

Photoshop Elements (bundled) fails to install with a 432 error.

Hi,

 

I previously had this software installed on my old Windows XP Pro machine but the PC hardware failed so I've had to buy a new PC with Windows 10 Pro. Most of the software I was previously using has reinstalled succesfully but Photoshop Elements repeatedly fails with this 432 error (uninstallshield in use, see attached screen shot). Photshop Album s/w on the same disc installs without any problems. 

 

I've tried limiting my Anti-virus software but it makes no difference. 

 

This s/w was bundled with my high-end Epson scanner and does everything I need of this sort of program so I'm reluctant to spend any money on upgrading to a newer version. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Photoshop Elements 2.0 won't run properly on Windows 10, even if you manage to install it.

Could it run in compatibility mode?

It won't make a difference.

Many thanks, this has worked eventually with a bit of further trial and error and modifying the virtual memory settings, but despite the pessimism from others, I'm pleased to report that Elements 2.0 does work on Windows 10. Thanks to all who respeonded.
