Solution: Problems installing older Version CS6 on newer versions of Windows
I spent the morning tracking down this issue as I was trying to install my purchased version of CS6 on my new Windows 11 Laptop. All the support responses for Exit 6/7 missing hook - talked about permissions or corrupt loaders etc. None of these was the problem - you simply have to install the C libraries going all the way back to 2010. Anything newer than that is in sufficient and will continue to generate missing hook file.
Simply download and install these back to 2010:
