Premiere-Media Encoder Mismatch

I need to export several videos from Premiere to a Media Encoder as a queue.  When I got to export to Media encoder it says its not installed.  I do have a version installed, but it doesn't recognize it for some reason.   I have Adobe Premiere CC9.0 installed  (I don't have the newest version because my graphics card doesn't support it) which version of Media Encoder do I need so they work in conjuction?  All premiere says is "there isn't a media encoder installed".  What it needs to say is what specific version I need of Media Encoder so they can work together as they should.  Fix this Adobe!  Or even better, Premiere recognized and works with any version of Media Encoder you have installed.

Help!

I understand, put I just need someone to tell me which version of Media Encoder do I need to install so that Media Encoder talks to Premiere! There is no clear match to me.

You need to find out which version of Premiere Pro that you're running. You see, AME 9.0 is the CC 2015.0 version, which will only work with the 2015.0 version of Premiere Pro CC. Unfortunately, you cannot get the 2015.0 version of Premiere Pro CC any more due to the change in the licensing agreement involving one of the companies that provided a plugin that came with it. The only way to fix that now would be to either roll all the way back to version 7.0 (the first, 2013 CC release) of both Premiere and Media Encoder (which remains available due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for such a legacy program) or to update to a newer version and suffer with software-only rendering.

I think you are confused.  I HAVE the 2015 version of Premiere (9.0) I need the Media Encoder correct version.  If you are saying I need media encoder 9.0 (which makes sense)  Where is it?

Sorry, but Adobe requires that the versions of both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder to exactly match one another. No other combination will work at all.
