How to Fix Adobe Installer Failed to Initialize Error
How to fix, if the Adobe installer failed to initialize? I am a fan of Adobe products. One day I planned to try Adobe’s Creative Cloud (CC) products, and I uninstalled the old CS products and installed the CCs. After using some of them for few days, I uninstalled them due to some Windows issues. Now, that was the time to install my old CS6 products. Suddenly I face a problem while I was trying to initiate the installer. The error was, “We’ve encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.”
Adobe Support Adviser tool is used to analyze the information related to installation errors. But, my bad luck, this tool is no longer available to download. Adobe has been discontinued this tool and improved their installation support mechanisms.
