If you are using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and it throws you the message “Configuration error Please uninstall and reinstall the product. Error: 16” and sometimes followed by “Additional unlicensed language packs found in the application folder. Please restart the application”, here’s how to fix it.

Start Windows Explorer then click “Tools” and then “Folder Options”. Select “View” tab then uncheck “Use simple file sharing (Recommended)” at the bottom of the list and then click “OK”.

Next, navigate to “C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobe”. Right-click the “Adobe PCD” folder and select “Properties”. In “General” tab, uncheck “Read-only” then click “Apply”. Next, select “Security” tab. Select “Administrator” under “Group or user names” then check “Full Control” under “Allow”. After this, select “SYSTEM” and set it to “Full Control” as well.

Next, click “Advanced” and then select “Owner” tab. Under “Change owner to”, select “Administrators”. Accept the UAC elevation prompt if it appears. Check “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects” and click “Apply”.

Next, select “Permissions” tab. Check “Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects”. Accept the UAC elevation prompt if it appears. Click “OK” and select “Yes” until you’ve closed the FLEXnet Properties dialog. Restart Photoshop and see if it works.
