Installation Error 127 when installing Photoshop elements 2021

[default7jz4qoset44v]

I am trying to install Photoshop 2021 from DVD but the installation fails with error code 127. The advice given is to check permissions on [Windows]: <system drive>\adobetemp, however this directory does not exist on my system. Any advice would be useful.

Might not necessarily be a permissions issue... but you do need to turn on View > Hidden items in the File Explorer to see the adobeTemp folder.

Also, check you have enough disk space on your system drive (usually your C: drive) and turn off any anti-virus application you might have running. 

Error code 127: Unable to extract files

Hope that helps 🙂

Many thanks, I have now successfully installed the software.

That's good news. This is a user-to-user forum, and it might help others if you post what you did in order to have a successful instalation.

Once I found the hidden folder then I changed the permissions to allow files to be written to the folder. This solved the problem and the software installed without any further issues.
