We are trying to install CS6 Design Standard on a MacBook with 10.13.6 When we are trying to install an error comes with Installationprogram can't initialise. Maybe something is missing. Download Adobe Support Advisor to resolve the problem. But when we download the Adobe Support Advisor we arrived in this Help Centre. Any idea ? We have an Adobe account and we bought the original CS 6 DesingStandard
Thanks for any suggestions
Best regards,
Richard from the Netherlands

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:

---------------------------------------------
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.

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.
