PSE 2021 Installation stops dead, no error

Apple MacbookPro, 2015 vintage, MacOS 11.4, 16GB RAM.

Installation dtops dead at 91%; no error message. Activity monitor shows two PSE2021 apps executing, one is marked unresponsive.

I had the Monitor kill the unresponsive module. The other gave "unknown error" message and offered a window "Quit." Clicking on that initiated activity that is going on now for half hour. What gives?

I was hoping to re-statrt one more time before asking for help but now I'm at a loss. The last time I had installation problem like this was on a Windoz

Any help would be appreciated and TIA.

Thank you for your help.

Actually I was able to resolve the problem shortly after asking for help by deleting all new modules; downloaded a new copy of the installer and restarted the installation. Everything went smooth this time and I had Photoshop Elements up and running in twenty minutes or less.

Thanks for your help once again.

Please ensure your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements to run Creative Cloud + OS + all other apps you use. Check each one.

Pay particular attention to Photoshop's new GPU requirements. See links below.
