Application components missing. How do I re install PS?

[RogerG40767081]

I have recently installed the photographic package of Adobe cc. Unfortunately when I try to edit an image from LR into PS I get the message below. How do I reinstall? Do I have to re install the whole cc photographic package again or can I just get PS without re registering?  I have read the help files and deleted the Locales folder in the PS application folder as instructed but now cannot open PS cc at all.

I am running a iMac on High Sierra OS. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi

You can uninstall and reinstall from the Adobe CC app

Thank you for that. I reinstalled and then opened PS ok direct from the app. However when I try to edit an image moving from LR to PS  I still get the message above so preventing me from moving my editing from LR to PS seamlessly as I have always done. Would reinstalling LR have any effect? What can I do now? Help appreciated.

Solved! I discovered this.

OS X has something called a Launch Services Database. It's to make it easier for an application to launch another application, without using the Finder.  You can tell if it's messed up by right-clicking on a document, then selecting "Open with...". If multiple versions of the same application are listed (say, multiple versions of Preview, Photoshop etc when right-clicking on an image), then your database needs repairing. To rectify, I closed all open applications and then launched Terminal from Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities. and copied and pasted the following command at the Terminal prompt and press Return to execute it:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Terminal will appear to freeze for a few seconds as the command is processed. When it’s finished, you’ll see a new prompt appear in the window. You can now close Terminal and head back to your Desktop. Find a file you need to access using the Open With menu and you’ll now see that the list is cleaned up, with duplicate and outdated entries gone. Also I now can access PS from LR for image editing without any problems.  🙂
