Could you try the below steps and see if it resolves the problem:

 

  1. Go to folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox
  2. There is an exe named 'Setup.exe' and 'Set-up.exe'
  3. Launch both the exe files manually and see if it launches or not?
  4. If both EXE file launches fine, now try to update the application using the update button in PSE editor.

 

In case if the EXE fails to launch in Step 3 above, Please uninstall the product and install using the installer available here, it will install the latest available updates automatically and your application will be up to date.

 

Thanks,

Vipin
