Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop does not install

Hi,
I am trying to install the trial of Adobe Creative Cloud on my Mac (10.9.5). When I run the Creative Cloud Installer, it shows 'Downloading Creative Cloud desktop' and then stops with the error message 'We’ve encountered the following issues: Installer was unable to create a critical file/directory. Please try installing again. (Error code: 44)'.
Here is what I tried so far:
1) Trying again yields the same result.
2) Trying the install from my admin account yields the same result.
Other info:
1) The machine has a licensed copy of Adobe Creative Suite 5.
2) I previously installed a trial of CS6 but have since removed that to go to CC instead.
3) Removal of the CS6 trial by the uninstaller failed - I had to remove components manually.
Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be? Very frustrating as I need to start using CC as soon as possible and purchase a subscription.
Best regards
Tim

Hi Jeff,
I came to the same conclusion but finding the permissions problem was like hunting the needle in the proverbial haystack. I don't think using a temporary directory as you suggested is a solution as the user has no control on where the installer is actually installing the files.
In the end I did as follows:
Manually removed all Adobe products from my internal disk and cleaned caches, app support folders and preferences (BTW, that did not allow the installer to work either).
Cloned my internal SSD drive to an external hard disk.
Formatted my internal SSD drive.
Re-installed Mavericks 10.9.5.
Installed CC Desktop successfully.
Pulled all my stuff back on to my internal SSD drive from the external hard drive using Migration Assistant.
It took a little time, but everything now works as it should.
Problem resolved!
Tim

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.

Adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?

i connected with the adobe people through 'contact an agent'.
very helpful, they remote managed my desktop to fix the issue.
apparently something to do with permissions not activated for adobe, not sure how and why this happens though, or why it was fine earlier and suddenly stoppped.
they insisted it was to do with being on a wifi connection but that's not possible because i have my laptop right next to my desktop and that was working fine.
it took about four hours to fix though, so be patient!

Creative Cloud Application does not install on late 2014 Retina iMac.

I am already user of PS CC 2014 and LR for about a year. Until now this worked flawlessly on a different Mac. After migration to new machine Creative Cloud app stopped working (actually this was the ONLY app that did not work after migration, one of about 100 others). I uninstalled all CC products and attempted a clean install from administrative account, i.e. install from freshly downloaded Creative Cloud installer from Adobe web site failed. Relevant diagnostic report (top part) attached below.
Need help immediately.

Jeff,
thanks for the suggestion. I see your point, I actually tried to use uninstallers, but PS CC 2014 uninstaller throws off an error (not specific, unfortunately). I think I try to do a complete erase, followed by clean installation of Mac OS X, followed by manual re-installation of my apps and will just move my docs from full backup I made before migration.
Any idea what actually may have caused the problem? What I see is CC app installer going through initialization, then it is downloading something for a short time then it just disappears. Greyed out icon of CC app briefly appears in menubar then it is gone. All Adobe crash logs as well as diagnostic logs generated during this time are not that informative. Looks like a few of the threads crash very soon after initialization…
thanks again for the time you took to answer
Jacek

Creative Cloud Desktop will not install

I'm using a 2009 iMac running Yosemite. I've tried a lot of methods I've seen in the forums here (renaming OOBE, restarting, Application Manager, etc) and cannot get through the creative cloud desktop installer without it simply stopping and disappearing at around 50% completion. Application manager 'fails to initialize' so I cannot go that route either.
I'm stuck.. I'd really like to get creative cloud desktop again. Please help!

Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop failed to install, where to get help?

Hi, I have contacted Adobe three times now to get my creative cloud app working again. Everything worked beautifully until last July while updating it crashed and I've never been able to successfully install the app again. The first call I had with tech support was a failure. After 1 hr on the phone and numerous different tries at correcting the problem, I was informed I'd probably have to do a complete uninstall of every Adobe product on the machine (at the time I was running IOS Mountain Lion, on a 2012 27" iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 w/16GB). I decided to wait to do the uninstall because this is my primary machine I was too busy to risk being down for any unknowns.
Now I have the time and ever since I installed Mavericks weird stuff is going on with PS and I was hoping there might be a fix in the updates. Called Tech support, made an appointment last week, scheduled a callback for 2hrs later, never got the call. Called again today, got my callback 1/12 hrs later. Support guy spent about 10 minutes with me doing everything I did through screen sharing, no luck. Tried uninstalling an Adobe program, no luck. Tried using the cleaner tool, no luck. The phone connection dropped and the cursor on my screen stopped moving. That was it?!?!? No call back, no attempt to continue, he had my number. Called back, would have to schedule another callback 2 hrs later.
Where is Adobe customer support (figuratively)?? - I have been a customer of Adobe products for 15 years. I pay them every month. This not only upsets me, it worries me because Adobe products are my primary tools and my confidence in them and the folks they have on the phone is dwindling.
Can anyone direct me to a forum that deals with this issue? Is there anyone accountable, with a good phone connection I can call that is not on the other side of the planet?
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thx.

Adobe Creative Cloud App does not show downloaded apps and shows "download error"

I am not a full paying member just yet, and have been using Photoshop on trial for my graphic design courses. With the app, instead of showing me that my 30 day trial is over, I get a download error and contact customer support message. I have completely deleted and redownloaded the Creative Cloud App twice already, but am not sure how to fix this problem so I am still unable to download my free trials before purchase.
How can I fix this problem?

Why does Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app keep crashing?

After loggin in to my account via the adobe Creative cloud desktop app the timer spins for a few seconds and then crashes without generating a report. I am on Mac OS10.7.5. I have done an uninstall of Creative cloud and reinstall of latest version. No joy. I have done a complete clean of Cloud using the app from the Adobe web site. After reinstall of Cloud problem still exists. I have renamed the OOEB file in Application Support so a new one is generated. Same problem. My loggin details work when I go into my account online. When I try to install apps from there it opens the desktop app and crashes. Any ideas?

Creative cloud desktop app not working!!! won't let me sign in or reinstall

Creative Cloud does not work!
Customer is waiting for work done, and this cost me money!!!! So help me please!
I can't sign in to my Creative Cloud desktop application. It opens, I enter my info, and then, I have a message you are no longer signed in. I tried to close the app several times, and also reinstall it. Nothing doesn't help.
Uploading is not allowed bacause Creative Cloud desktop does not work, fonts are missing because Typekit does not work!!!!!!!!

Hello paulina,
sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, don't use your own resources, that's insufficient!
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. Please follow the prescribed sequence of operations
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

My adobe presenter redemption code (creative cloud) membership does not work.

my adobe presenter redemption code (creative cloud) membership does not work. Each time I input my presenter code at creativecloud/redeem it returns a message 'ooops, this code has been redeemed.'

I got both installed but on installing Presenter keeps giving errors that a previous version is installed on the computer and cannot proceed. I verified that there is no previous version and keep redoing the install and get stuck AGAIN and AGAIN at this point.
I also verified that I have the latest version of Flash on Chrome and I have the latest version. Why is Adobe so all over on downloading/installing their products. I (and other paying customers) cannot waste more time on this very simple procedure just because the software packages are not packaged properly or. the teams in charge of ensuring the products DID NOT correctly package the products securely (with the updates included) and more importantly, ensured that the products were linked to user accounts who purchased them.

Problem to install Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop

Please, i need to download Photoshop CC software but I cannot install in Windows 8.1 the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application.
Is there any direct link to download Photoshop CC and Bridge?
Thanks in advanced.
Francisco J.

if you follow all 7 steps, you can download those trials via two of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your adobe id.
if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.
