Purchased PS Elements 14 at Adobe as download, and tried to install 3 times, and each time

came to an error (no code #) Installer failed to initialize.

Anyone found a solution to this?

    Correct answer Stucker

    I have several others that work fine - windows 7


    So the final word is apparently, PS Elements 14 cannot install on Windows 10, 64 bit.

    So I have returned to using PS Elements 13 on this platform - which is all I need anyway - and

    have requested a refund, which has been approved and is in process.

    Thanks all for your input!

    I cannot install Photoshop Elements 14 on my PC.  I have Windows 10. How do I find the bit number, please?

    Also the instructions for the link https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1848277  didn't work, either.  Also tried turning off antivirus, etc.

    Guess will wait for Adobe Support response to this issue.

    Sorry to Hear that.

    Okay , you may wait for Adobe Support.

    However , Let us know if you need further assistance .

    Installer Failed to Initialize is an issue caused to due to different reasons like Corrupt Application Manager which is nothing but Installer tool ,  Conflicting Processes which are running in background or Conflicting files or folders , or sometimes Installation Media itself  and so on...

    Did you downloaded Photoshop Elements setup file from below link ?

    Kindly remove Adobe Application Manager using cleaner tool and try to install Adobe Photoshop Elements again.
