I purchased PSE 2019, Doenload worked and I tried to install Pse afterwards several time. Afte a few seconds I got an error message window with error Code 103 saying PSE could nnot be installed. On Adobe web sitte the only hint is restart installation.

I tried to install several time but only this error message appears.

Do you have any ideas what is going wrong here?

    OK, Detlevg69742597, then I would recommend you make a backup of whatever installation files you did end up using to install Photoshop Elements 2019.

    Hi Jeff, yes, it is installed now, thanks for your support. Nevertheless the Download link from Adope points to a Version which is not installable on my PC.

    Thanks for the screenshot, Detlevg69742597.  Error 103 indicates the installer was invoked with invalid parameters.  What other Adobe software is currently installed on the Windows 10 computer?

    Please try download and installing Photoshop Elements 2019 directly from Download Photoshop Elements | 2019, 2018, and 15 to see if the same error occurs.
