I tried to install Photoshop elements 8 on my Windows 7 computer, but the installation gives a failure after a certain time. A file "...cab" is not working and may be corrupt ( exact failure code I can give, if necesary). Is there any possibility to get this file or the program Photoshop Elements 8 as download file so that I can complete the installation? Thank you in advance for your answers.

You can download a fresh copy of the install files by following the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.html.

I am curious did you have this installed previously or did you just purchase a copy of Photoshop Elements 8?

Hello,

I just got the same problem already some time ago when I tried to install this programm in my computer. At that time (March 2012) the program crashed my computer, I had to reinstall all the Software completely including system software. The program I purchased in December 2011 from Amazon together with a Reflecta crystal Scan slide scanner as bundle, so I thought it will work.

I will try to install the program from the download link you gave me, in case it does not work, what can I do next without having to buy a newer version?

Regards

I am not sure there will be any additional steps.  The error you posted indicated a corrupted cab file.
