Installing Premiere Elements on Mac OS 15 Or Windows 10 Pro

I have tried downloading on both my Windows desktop & my Mac laptop. The downloads successfully complete. The installs run with the only initial error being it is unable to start the program automatically and should be started manually.

When I check it looks as tho on both machines the installer has installed Adobe Priemere Elements 2024 & 2025 with neither actually working. 2025 just hangs when you try to launch the video editor. 2024 throws a config error 11. I've verified thru restarts and the task manager nothing adobe related is running which is the usual troubleshooting for that error.

I am able to download and install the Premiere Elements 2023 successfully but when I attempt to buy that Adobe tries to sell me a license for 2024.

When I compare the installed files of 2023 to the 2024/25 installation it looks as tho the installation does half of 2024 and then half of 2025. Support files directory is 2024 executable is 2025 in 2025 folder.

I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and/or is the issue the download is bad?
