Adobe Elements 2024 Will Not Install

Same issue here. Fresh installed Windows 11 and no matter what I try starting setup ends with a browser that confirms I'm logged on and setup should continue but it doesn't. A link with a manual login option is not working.

No setup, no software, no support. What todo next?

I use the word 'mandatory' to stress that the ethernet cable will guarantee you an install.

Spoke to a friend and they suggested that it could relate to anti pirating based on wifi allows every computer you have to log on as you and download and install lots of copies whereas the direct cable connection ensures one install.

Can't say I know too much about that but it does sound plausable.

The important point is that anyone who hits a problem installing their adobe software can use the ethernet cable scenario as an immediate quick fix.

I understand that adobe are using the adobe creative cloud in a similar fashion to verify some of their software installs such as photoshop so that you have to be signed in to the cloud before the software will install.

No doubt this could be achieved just using wifi.

I have read the replies but thankfully another user already posted the solution which is unbelievable and yet works!

I am a pensioner and have used computers and adobe software for half my life.

I have a HND in computing so normally I can work anything out by myself.

On adobe's download page it should really warn all users not to use a wifi connection to install their software.

An ethernet cable connected between computer and modem is mandatory

A really smart user on this very forum came up with the solution.

I would never have thought of that having moved on ages ago to a wireless connection.

Full marks to the community!

Actually?  Not too many.  What do they all have in common?  Virtually all with similar problems are user caused.

Any number of things can cause your issues:   VPN's, incomplete installs, incomplete uninstalls, running a BETA OS is always a good one-- users often don't realize it's beta for a reason- and become upset when software doesn't work.  Now don't forget how Apple likes to update their OS every few months with a new version--- making older versions of PSE quickly useless.

"But I know my way around computers"---such users often forget to tell people about unique things they have done:  editing their system registry--- having two ani-virus programs running at the same time,  manually deleting files "because they're not needed" after installing----stuff like that are things users often forget to tell us about.

What many who "know their way around computers" fail to do:  simply restarting their computer.  Doing that clears up off behavior with the program, or installing the program.

" it throws up a web page saying I am logged in, the smaller install page says 'failed to login'"  what does?   Adding screenshots to things saves tons of time: sometimes what a user describes is totally different than is what is actually on the screen.
