In case the automatic installer doesn't work for you, please setup E+ manually as follows:

  1. Quit Photoshop Elements.
  2. From the Elements+ disk image, copy the contents of "stuff >Thumbnails" folder into "Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Photoshop Elements > 8.0 > Photo Creations > photo effects" folder (screenshot).
  3. In the Photoshop Elements localization folder*, delete or rename "MediaDatabase.db3" (Elements' cache file).

    *This subdirectory should be named after PSE language - e.g., "en_US" for US English, "de_DE" for German, "fr_FR" for French, etc. (screen).

  4. From the Elements+ disk image, copy the "stuff > E+" folder (including all the contents) to "Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Photoshop Elements > 8.0" directory.
  5. In your "Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support" folder, create "Elements+" subfolder and copy to it the "stuff > 8.0" folder from the E+ disk image
  6. Restart Photoshop Elements (after deleting the program cache it may take several minutes).
