While attempting to download PSE14, the .exe showed up on the lower left. I waited until it did what it does. When I opened it there was another box (I forgot the name and exact choices) but I click whatever would allow me to continue. I don't remember if there were any confirmations that the program was installed.
I looked to see if there was a desktop icon (because my pc makes icons automatically) but there I did not see one. I checked the start button (lower left) and Adobe Elements was/is not listed. I just went to look, by going to "uninstall programs" menu however, once again I did not (and still do not) see Adobe Elements under the "A" or the "P" programs.
I did search C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 14 from the search area in the lower left. Message says: "The program can't start because AutoCropCore.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I must have reinstalled about 10X already.
