I did a Google search for "Photoshop CS6 Installation error 16" and most of the results say "Run as Administrator", which works for Windoze.
That says to me that "Error 16" has something to do with "permissions". Aren't "permissions" the difference between "Administrator" and regular users? I realize "Run as Administrator" is a Windoze fix, but Mac OS has user "permissions" too. This might help. It has how to fix the permissions in Windoze and Mac OS. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/configuration-error-cs5.html On 4/15/2016 8:16 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote:
I’ve been running PS CS6 on my desktop and laptop for a few years. No problems. My laptop is a Mac Pro without a DVD drive. I installed PS 6 from a time machine backup once before and Adobe just requested the serial number. Easy. Today I had to do a clean install of the OS on the laptop and when I tried to install PS 6 from the Time Machine backup it wouldn’t let me. Adobe gave me an Error 16 and said to contact tech support. When I went to tech support I got a bunch of BS about different levels of support available but no clear way to ask a question. Digging further I got nothing but ads to buy the Cloud versions. Am I screwed? Might I be able to install it from an external DVD drive using the original disks? Paul
