Adobe Elements 2019 installer broken in 2026
I have a paid copy of Adobe Photoshop elements 2019, but in 2026 I am unable to install it on any os or hardware. I have tried my intel windows laptop (originally had it on it but I clean installed it and installed a newer version of windows at the same time and can no longer reinstall), a windows 10 and 11 virtual machine in it, a windows 10 and 11 virtual machine on my newer MacBook Pro, and even on my AMD Gaming PC and they all do the same thing; you double click the installer, hit yes on windows UAC (the do you want to allow this program to make changes to your device popup), then it has a blue adobe creative cloud style loading circle for a few seconds before going to a plain white screen and then doing nothing.
I have spent hours trying to find any form of support article, or offline installer, and I have found there is an offline installer which theoretically would still work, but adobe doesnt have it on their website any more, and the only way I could get it would be to have the disk, but the copy is bought from adobes website so I cant do that. I also cant contact adobe support as “I don't have an active subscription” because it was bought outright. I did find the photoshop discord server but the people there didnt really have experience with elements unfortunately.
I am aware that PSE 2019 is a 7 year old product, however I have many backups of over 45000 organised photos (I have all the photos just not organised) and it is still something I spent around $110 - $150 Australian on and I don't feel it unreasonable to expect to be able to use the thing I paid for.
