Installation for Adobe Photoshop Elements rolls back after some time (e.g.- 97%)

There could be following 4 different reasons why installation of Adobe Photoshop Elements may rollback :

1.       Conflicting processes running.  

Resolution:  Close all the Adobe applications inside Task Manager. Ensure that no Adobe process is running while installing the software on your machine.

2.       Updater API failure.

Resolution :- Create an empty folder say “abc” inside “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\” location

3.       Failure in AFL calls                                          

Resolution :- Make sure that you do not have any other Adobe application installed on this machine. If none, then delete cache.db file inside this location “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\”

4.       Installation Location                                      

Resolution:- Place the installer at say “C:\PSE9\” folder location and then try to install again.
