App Manager (Windows) installed Illustrator CS6 16.0.3, now I get error "The operation cannot complete becuase of an unknow error [CANT]   Now what?

Any suggestions? This error alternates with a error saying that "Some plug-ins have been updated. You will need to re-launch Illustrator for the changes to take effect."
Photoshop CS6 boots fine after the update.
I knew I should not have installed that update. Everything was working fine.
Thanks!

FIXED IT, happy happy, joy joy.
I changed the Scratch Disks in Preferences to D:\ and None, and error messages are all gone.
Back to your regular programming.

  • CS6 Spell check error: The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [CANT]

    Hi Everyone,
    Has anyone else encountered this error when trying to spell check? Is there a way around it?

    Hey,
    I had the same problem any time I tried to open .svg files. I resaved the files as .eps and they opened without issue.

  • Illustrator CS5 _ Error  (The operation cannot complete...)

    I am trying to export a png file to my desktop
    but I keep getting an error from illustrator
    saying "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [DFER]"
    I am also attaching a print screen.
    Thanks!!

    I have been getting the same error, but I think I just figured out what is causing it. When exporting a png or jpg in Illustrator, make sure the name you enter for it has no slashed or special characters. I used a date in the name and I kept getting that error; when I took the date out, it worked just fine.

  • Problems installing Illustrator CS6 on OSX 10.8

    Every time I try to install Illustrator CS6 on my Early 2009 17" MacBook Pro, the installation gets to around 85% or so and then jumps straight to 99% and then fails. I've noticed that the disk image is diappearing form my desktop and then failing. Photoshop, InDesign, etc. are all installing without problems. This is the error message I'm getting:

  • Have CC programs installed already, but when I open Creative Cloud app Manager it only shows CS6?

    Have CC programs installed already, but when I open Creative Cloud app Manager it only shows CS6?

    OK thanks - I tried that, would not let me remove the OPM.db file as in solution 2, i uninstalled CS6 versions, i uninstalled Creative Cloud desktop app and then downloaded latest and installed - however, with continual workload, I am not about to remove all Adobe software as suggested in Solution 4!  Even in the Creative Cloud app where it shows install new apps, there are only CS6 versions showing?
    I have just uninstalled creative cloud app manager again - go to download latest version and the message is - we are currently experiencing problems, please try again later.

  • Why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    Hi John,
    thanks for the fast response.  cs5 remembered the window position.  I like having the window in the middle as I have a 27" monitor.  I just upgraded to cs6 yesterday and I'm sure it was remembering the window document position.  I think.  If i find out how to fix this, I'll post it here.
    And while I'm on the subject of cs6, why the f*** did adobe combine the stroke and swatches pallettes?  Now I forever have to click stroke and swatch tabs all day.  And I love the army and navy file icons of photoshop and illustrator.  I won't comment on Acrobat X.  ; (

    I have just installed Illustrator CS6 yesterday, but I found it was in French. Could help me figure out how to change the language into English?
    I got my series number from my Institut (which is in Paris, FR). I do not use Creative Cloud.
    When I was installing the software, I cannot select a language.
    Could you help me with my problem? Do I have to get a different series number?

    lunc,
    You will have to get a new application in English, to replace the French one.
    You, or your Institute will have to get help from Adobe, I am afraid.
    You may try a chat here,
    Get help with orders, refunds, and exchanges (non-CC, chat open between 5AM and 7PM PST/PDT on workdays)

    If you fail to get any help, please report back here, and I will ask a special forum staff friend to try to find the right one at Adobe to have things sorted out.
