CS6 Design Standard installation issue

Most likely, this is because legacy CS installers aren't compatible with Mac 10.13 without terminal workarounds.

Adobe servers also require your computer to use TLS 1.2 connections for security reasons. Otherwise, you can't connect to activate your software.

if osx 10.12 (sierra) or 10.13 (high sierra), https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/install-creative-suite-mac-os-sierra.html

if, your error is: "Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."

first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.

to find OOBE:

64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE

32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE

mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps

mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB

---------------------------------------------

if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.

---------------------------------------------

if you're using a dvd to install: copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.

---------------------------------------------

if you're using a mac:

1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.

2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them

3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.

4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
