Hello,

 

I wouldn't be posting another post about this issue, but everything I have tried so far, nothing worked. I still get the same error message. I am hoping there is an easy fix.

 

It works on my laptop, but not on my PC, which runs on Windows 10.

 

I tried reinstalling and removing everything connected to photoshop several times and in different ways. Nothing works.

 

Best,

Luka

    Please change the Install language to English on the Creative cloud > Preferences. 

    Reinstall the Photoshop and reset the preferences of the Photoshop from the location mentioned below. 
    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2024\Photoshop 2024 settings to Photoshop 2024 settings.old

    I cant open photoshop. When I try to it just says: "Some of the application components are missing from the application directory. Please reinstall the application". And I did just that, I reinstalled it many times and everytime i try to open it, the same thing happens.

     

    Thank you for help

      Hi, this worked for me:  Install language to English on the Creative cloud > Preferences.

      that's it.

          This did not work for me as i don't have the AppData folder in my user folder, nor can I find it anywhere else.

          However installing English in preferences did work

            Hii! I had the same issue and the solution to this is;

            -> click on your profile in CCD app ( The Creative Cloud Desktop app where you have your programs installed ).

            -> then you click on prefrences and click on apps, there if you scroll down you will see 'default install language' and change it to English International!
            Make sure that you save your files and projects before doing this, because it will reinstall all of your programs!

            The reason this problem occurs is because the program isn't supported in your language!

            Hope this helped! ⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

            Well, i just came to the solution, thanks to @nina.slanina. The problem is indeed the Locales folder missing. I did change the language settings to english, but it did't help for me. So i copy/pasted the folder from my old Mac with Ps 2021 and ta daaa! Ps 2024 is running on my Mac Mini. So the problem is pure due to the Locales folder missing at instalation!

              I'm having the same problem on Mac Mini M2, macOS Sonoma 14.2.1. Tried to uninstall - didn't work. Tried to instal older versions - didn't work. Same error:

              "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application."
