Error 16 on Photoshop CS 5

[tiancaix]

Right, so after I installed Photoshop CS5 trial version, I get this error when I run the program:

After I clicked OK on that message, I get this:

I didn't even install any weird language packs. All I have is Windows 7's Japanese and Chinese Languages from the Language Bar. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling three times. Once without a restart, once with a restart and the last one with a restart, a CS5 cleanup tool and a registry clean. All same error. I've even tried running it as XP compatiblity and of course, ticked the "run as admin" box.

My computer specs are:

Intel i5-430M 2.27GHz

4GB of RAM

Windows 7 32-Bit

ATi HD5730 1GB VRam.

I've contacted live support, and this is what I get: http://pastebin.com/XhrQTemV

Thanks.

I thought you might like to know we have updated the support documentation for this issue.  The answer can now also be found in '"Configuration error" when you launch Creative Suite 5 products' (cpsid_82744).  If you see any additional issues, regarding this error, which are not addressed by the document, please leave comments and we will update it as quickly as possible.

Just to be sure that the not changing read-only attr is the problem: You guys who have used the solution above, when you return to properties of that Adobe PCD folder, is the read-only attributed checked or not? Because when I uncheck it, it asks me for administrators privilages and than it gets unchacked - it looks like it's workin', but when I return, It's there again.

[andrew491960]

Well since I found the solution and used it and it worked, I never thought to check if the Adobe PCD folders read only sttribute was indeed still unchecked... Now on checking it, I have discovered it is indeed checked as it was in the beginning.. While I do not pretend to know why, the solution worked for me so I have no reason to question it.. Very curious to know why we need to uncheck it in the first place now though...

Anyone?

It's common to see that unchecking an option like read only gets rechecked on it's own. I don't know why.

Some of the problem would seem to lie with the OS, then. Or at least with a lack of either understanding or implementation or the inability to implement a complete solution to interface between OS and app.

I noticed that I never got asked by UAC permission to mess with the changes first.

There is something seriously amiss when one group of computers requires these changes, and another does not, when both have the same OS and program.So we need to look at what differences exist between those that need these changes and those that don't. It's a job for Adobe at least,and if this problem shows on all three OS's, then it would seem to be peculiar to Adobe. However, at this point, I would rule nothing out, from HW to BIOS configuration to board config, likre overclocking. For the record, I am overclocked on an Asus M4A77TD board running an Athlon II 630. RAM is Crucial-CT2KIT25664BA1339-PC3-10600 2x2G DDR3 running on 533MHz timing. XP HD is WDT Win7 is Seagate. Video is NVidia 9500.

Oki, so it means, that it's not a problem. Anyway I don't understand, where the problem is. I've set all the permissions. Looks like no CS5 for me.

[antonindanek2]

Ok, I worked it out. I repeated the steps for SLStore - mayby I missed something before. Also right after repeating the steps a run CS5 as administrator but now it is working without it so I don't know if it had any efect. Thanks to everyone.

Please help I do not have a "Replace Permission Entries On All Child Objects (...)" checkbox at all! My detailed post about this is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3985740#3985740 . Please help me in finding the solution.

Just to add that my problem was resolved. The forementioned solution above works perfectly in my case as well, on Windows xp pro, with CS3 design premium already installed from way before. Thanks to help from Noel
