Question

Is the only way to stop getting requests to install Organizer to stop buying Adobe products?

I've been using Photoshop Elements Editor for years, and have never used Organizer (I'm sure it's special, I'm just not interested), but Editor has starting asking me to install it (Organizer is not even on my computer). I don't want it, but the only options Editor gives is "Intall Now" or "Intall On Exit/Remind Me Later". Where is the "I don't want Organizer, so stop asking me to install it" option? It's really annoying as it's asking every time I open Editor.

Can you please give us a screenshot of the message you are receiving.

 

I don't know how the Organizer isn't on your computer. It is impossible to install the Editor without installing the Organizer.  Have you manually deleted the files/folders that are associated with it?  If you don't want to use the Organizer, that's fine.  But if you have deleted files or folders that the Editor thinks should be available, it does not surprise me that you are seeing some message about it.  There is probably no easy way to avoid the message popping up.  I have never seen or heard of such a message so can't give you an easy way to remove it. 

 

Based on the information you have provided, you can either do whatever the message is telling you to do and treat the Organizer like any other program's feature that you do not use, or else be done with the Editor, if you feel so strongly about it.

 

And my response only relates to Windows computers.  I have no experience with Macs but I seriously doubt whether the answer will be different for that OS.

This is the message. The Organizer app was deleted, on a Mac (it's a quick operation, but not something I want to have to do every time I use the Editor and it decides it wants Organizer reinstalled and wasting space on my drive again). I don't use Organizer and never have. I bought Elements for the Editor (Photoshop) not for a photo organizer. It doesn't surprise me that there is a message either, but it does annoy me that the message happens more than once, and there's no way to stop it other than to install a superfluous program (as evidenced by years of use of the Elements Editor without it). It should be an easy thing for the designer to have put in a Skip / Do Not Install button right next to the Install Now and Install On Exit ones.

Oh, and in case you were thinking, why don't you just turn off updating... you can't. The only options are to update or to be be nagged to update. There's no - Do Not Update choice.
