Hello,

I wouldn't be posting another post about this issue, but everything I have tried so far, nothing worked. I still get the same error message. I am hoping there is an easy fix.

It works on my laptop, but not on my PC, which runs on Windows 10.

I tried reinstalling and removing everything connected to photoshop several times and in different ways. Nothing works.

Best,

Luka

Please change the Install language to English on the Creative cloud > Preferences.

Reinstall the Photoshop and reset the preferences of the Photoshop from the location mentioned below.
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2024\Photoshop 2024 settings to Photoshop 2024 settings.old

Dear community,

I have freshly installed Photoshop 24.2.1 from the creative cloud platform on Windows 11 Pro.

The following message is shown: Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.

Uppon clicking OK nothing happens. I tried reinstalling the same version and also older ones. Restarted the computer between. The problem is the same every time.

Is anyone able to provide a solution?

Hi

Try using the Adobe cleaner tool

Hi @lukad39284110 are you installing on the local C: Drive (same as the OS system folders)?

Thank you for the update @lukad39284110

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere:

Restore your preferences using this manual method:

Does it work correctly?

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back.

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Has anyone found a fix for this? I just started having this problem after installing Photoshop 2024 on a Mac running Ventura. I manually removed preferences, uninstalled 2024, installed an older version and get the same message. Additionally, I removed Photoshop Beta. I still get Beta as a choice of opening pdf or png files when I right click them to select for opening app.
