After 5 hours of trying to install PSE 2024 (after 2 hours of trying to make PSE 9 work that has faithfully served me since 2010), I gave up. Neither the installer, or cloud app installer, woul install PSE 2024. The stand alone installer would hang on 2% or 10%, and the cloud app installer would hang on loading home or apps. I tried everything in the repair guidance.
1/ turn off firewall
2/ try wired instead of wifi
3/ turn off anything antivirus or that intercepts file or internet connections
4/ run the cleaners
5/ start disabling other services
6/ install latest drivers and windows update (or remove 23h2, that I did, that made no difference, and now can't re-install)
and from the internet
7/ repair all vc++ distributables
8/ run sfc and disms
Nothing worked. And the final recommendation of a clean Windows 11 install... I will just use Gimp in a pinch, or my tombstoned Windows 10 machine with pse 9).
It was disheartening to see I am not the only one with this problem.
