Creative Cloud apps all stuck at 42% when installing.

I'm not joking when I say it's been nearly 28hrs and I'm still trying to find out how this program pipeline can be so messed up.
Look at it. That cold unfeeling 42% just sitting there, looking at me...mocking me. This happens with every CC app.
I have tried the direct downloads also, but what happens is interesting:
Start installation
"Preparing for Installation" displays for 3 seconds, and then immediately says Installation complete. No progress bar update or anything. Clicking launch does nothing. I go to the installation location, and nothing is found. No folder for the specific app (even photoshop) or anything.
I have tried different administrator accounts, policies, permissions. I went on 5 different crusades now, deleting everything under the Adobe name from temp, program files, even the registry. I have soared across different forums looking for an answer, trying each and every method that comes onto my screen. No avail. I have been through 7 (not joking) tech support guys and gals, not one could help me no matter how hard they tried. I have booted under selective startup with NO programs other than Microsoft's services. Still nothing.
This is without a doubt the most frustrating thing, next to debugging, I have came across.

After the extracting phase, it lands on 42% and hangs. I then killed the adobe help process. It still hung at 42% and eventually gave me the error:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled for a total of 10 times now.
I have 0 security programs with nothing affecting system files.

    This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

  • The Creative Cloud App for desktop can't be installed on my Macbook pro

    I've have bought the Photoshop + Lightroom applications via the creative cloud. I can download the installion file for Crative Cloud app for desktop and I can start the installation process but it is interrupted halfway through with a message saying "The following problem have encountered: Creative Cloud for desktop could not be installed". There are no hints for any solution. I've tried to use Opera instead of Safari but the same thing happens. Is there anyone that knows what the solution for this problem is? Sincerely Lars

    Thank you! You solved the problem!! /Lars

  • Illustrator / photoshop / Creative Cloud app - all not launching

    Waited 2 hours on chat and was told "specialist team" only work weekdays - even though it says 24hrs support??
    Apps simply don't open, they launch, then that's it - they don't respond.
    Using a mac - first issue after about 2 months of everything runnning smoothly.
    AE launches and runs fine.

    Hi Anthony,
    Since removing the opm.db file and signing out/ in did not work. I would suggest that you use the Adobe Clean tool to remove the software and reinstall.
    Make sure your computer can still access the adobe servers. Check the hosts file.

    Rename the OPM.db file that is located in the OOBE folder located here:

  • Why does the Creative Cloud app steal focus multiple times when it starts up?

    I am running Windows 8.1. When my system boots up, I've set Creative Cloud to launch at startup. I like to have the CC app running in the background so I can keep all of my apps up to date.
    The problem is that the CC app steals the operating system's focus multiple times when it launches. For example, right after I log in to Windows, I'll usually launch Chrome. If I start typing something in the address bar, I am interrupted halfway through as the CC app launches and steals the focus. So then I reset the OS focus to Chrome and start typing again. And then CC usually steals the focus again after a couple of seconds.
    I've verified that it is CC by disabling launch-at-startup. Doing this makes the problem go away.
    This is completely obnoxious and unnecessary. If an app launches in the background, it shouldn't steal the focus once, let alone twice. This is software development 101. We are paying good money and should not have to deal with problems like this.

  • Cannot download PS CC. Why does Creative Cloud apps tab show as blank when trying to download PS?

    I have a brand new Mac OS X Version 10.9.2
    I am trying to download a trial of Photoshop but the download never starts. The Cloud app pops up on the top right of my screen but the apps tab just shows a rotating circle. I was able to download Lightroom with no problem but Photoshop won't download. Any idea what I can do?

    Hi Ashtinafayelou,
    Please follow the below steps
    Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
        Navigate to the below location
        /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
        Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
        Launch Creative Cloud and check if the issue persists.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

    Jeff,
    Thanks for your reply.
    OK, so I am using approved OS 10.9.5 and am still having the same issue. Is there anyone who can help me get my CC apps installed on my second, studio machine?
    Or does the installer only work one time for every membership?
    Can you point me to the solution to my problem? A web site or technical group that can really help me?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Branching this to a separate discussion.
    Bob please try the steps listed in App doesn’t open | Progress wheel spins continually.  We have found a recent conflict with CS5 updater inventories which can cause the behavior you are describing.  If you can please update this discussion with the results it would be appreciated.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud App

    I had recently bought the monthly student plan for Adobe Photoshop CC.  I originally started with the free trial of Photoshop CC, and also got the creative cloud app for the desktop.  When I tried to start up Photoshop CC, I got a message saying that my free trial had timed out, and suggested that I join creative cloud, which I already had done.  I then uninstalled Adobe Photoshop CC, so that I could reinstall the full version of Photoshop.  I tried to open the creative cloud app on my desktop to get the Photoshop program, but it wouldn't load all the different programs.  So I uninstalled the desktop app for creative cloud.  Then I went to Adobe's website to reinstall the creative cloud app, and the same thing occured.  The creative cloud app would not load the different photoshop programs availaible for download.  I uninstalled the program again, but then I couldn't even try to install the creative cloud app again.  The page for the creative cloud on Adobe's website won't load either.  So now I can not download creative cloud or photoshop CC.

  • "Download Error" in Creative Cloud App

    Help! Creative cloud no longer shows the apps that need to be updated. It just gives me this message "Download Error. Press retry to try again or contact customer support." Every time I click on "Reload Applications," it just gives me the same message. See image below.
    This has been happening for a month. I've restarted my mac and uninstalled & reinstalled Creative Cloud, but it didn't fix the issue. Log in info are all correct as well as billing info.

    I tried downloading the update in a new Admin account and it WORKED!
    For anyone else having the same problem, here is the other stuff that I tried that didn't work:
    - Changing from WiFi to wired internet connection. The wifi is running through an Apple AirPort station, with all the ports that Adobe uses open.
    - I looked up the permissions on my Library and they were set to Read/Write and still I couldn't download the update
    - I'm not running any security software that could be interfering with the download.
    - Deleting and reinstalling the Creative Cloud app didn't help.
    When I tried downloading Creative Cloud apps for the first time, it wouldn't work at my office so I had to take the computer offsite. It worked perfectly. I talked to IT support at work and they couldn't find any reason that a network setting was keeping the download from happening here. Still a mystery.
    For clarification, I was always able to sync fonts with Typekit through the CC app, just couldn't download PS and AE updates. I still haven't tried file sync with CC.
    Thanks for the help Adobe people!

  • Why is my creative cloud app on windows 8.1 blank, no menu items.

    I have a Dell XPS 15 laptop running windows 8.1 When I run the creative cloud app, all I get is a blank window, with no menu items. How can I fix this?

    Quit Creative Cloud application .
    End Adobe related tasks like Creative Cloud , CoreSync, AAMUpdater...etc from Task Manager.
    1) Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.
      2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.( Do not miss ~ symbol)
    ~/library
    3)Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe>OOBE. Open OOBE folder and delete opm file.
    Once you had deleted opm.db file.
    Disable Anti-Virus and Firewall temporarily .
    Then launch Creative Cloud app and check.

    After several problems trying to install the Creative cloud app I finally got it to install after booting into safe mode. Now that CC is installed when I click on the tabs application tab it doesn't work. I also tried downloading it from the website which just prompts the creative cloud app and then it keeps loading on the application tab.
