photoshop elements wont load

Ok I had windows 8 on my laptop at one time and i remember having a problem but forget what solved it.
I just installed windows 8.1 and got light room installed, photomatix and a few other apps..

but adobe photoshop elements just wont go.
my error lead me to a site that said to install adobe application manager .
I downloaded ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe and it will not install..
just says installer failed to initialize

I am basically getting the same with PSE.. so any ideas helpful!!!

Ok 69 views and no replies...

I spent 5hrs on this last night and took this AM and a 1/2 dozen cups of coffee but I got it.. well with help from another forum...

I wont list all that i tried.. but will list what I did..
Simple (not sure why but easy fix)...

Long story short:

1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe (yes I have a 64bit install)
2. Rename or delete OOBE folder

That is it... now Adobe Application Manager installed and so did PSE 11

now not sure if it is partially that I installed LR5 first or not but still.. shouldnt matter which install order you do...
