Cannot find Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi after cleaning Temp-folder on Windows - can't update CC-apps

Hello,
The C-drive on my PC was exhausted, and I needed to clean up some space.
I cleaned all temp folders and moved some data folders, and at last the computer worked.
When I now try to update Lightroom the Creative Cloud-app fails with message that it can't uninstall old version, and if I try to uninstall from Control Panel, I get a message asking me to locate the install-file.
My eybrows lifted when I saw that the uninstall-files are supposed to be located in the temp-folder (which by definition should be ok to clean).
How can I recover from this? I have an old 4.4-version of LR installed, which hasn't been a problem, and a 5.3 version which was supposed to be updated to some 5.7-version now.
I found some reference to a CC-cleaner tool, but it doesn't list Lightroom and doesn't clean Lightroom.

Well, replying to my own thread here.
I got it working, using this very messy solution (don't do this if you do not understand the consequences)
Opened Registry editor, and removed these keys (for LR 5.3 and LR 4.4): (Searched the registry for occurences of 'Lightroom' - but stopped after these findings)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Features\BCA17DD2D255C20459929760CA9BC503
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Features\DC559A118934A50488D64E463C16F8FB
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\BCA17DD2D255C20459929760CA9BC503
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\DC559A118934A50488D64E463C16F8FB
Also deleted all the Lighroom-paths from the values under this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders
Now the Creative Cloud does the installation, and it seems to work.
This solution is messy because it leaves lots of LR4 and LR 5.3 references in the registry amd on the computer, it leaves all the files for the older versions.
To fix some of this, I also deleted the folders under Program Files - so the bulk of the files was removed.
The good part of the story is that the settings from 5.3 carried over, and I am able to continue my work.

  • I'm trying to update my lightroom 5 from 5.2 to 5.6 but it states that it cannot find Adobe_Lightroom_X64.msi? I've tried to look for the file but it cannot find it?

    I'm not much of a computer person and when I tried to update the program it wouldn't process it and is looking for the Adobe_Lightroom_X64.msi file.
    Has anybody had the same issue and a possible fix?
    Thank you

  • HT1926 my itunes will not update due to an error message saying cannot find itunes.msi

    I need help to resolve the fact that my computer will not update. It gives me a message about 95% way through the update that it cannot find itunes.msi and I also went to just uninstall the program completely off my computer and it gives me the same message. Help please!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • TS5376 how to get itunes to download if it cannot find itunes64.msi

    I am trying to download the latest version of itunes on my computer.  It will not do the upgrade. itunes support says try uninstalling itunes and everything that has to go with it and it will not let me delete it.  A message comes up saying the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable and cannot find itunes64.msi.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

    Did you do what was recommend to you on your other post. No need to double post.
    try swiping your home screen to to the left or right and see if you can find it on other screens.

  • Spotlight and finder cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

    Spotlight and search field in Outlook on MacBoon cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?

    Reinstall on both.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
    Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.

    You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password.  If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID.  There's no way around this and no one else can help.

    Hi All:
    My web server is IIS 6. Sometimes the temp crystal report objects could not dispose when I close IE. I have some codes to control the evnet(colse IE to dispose CR objects) but the result is not good. Could I change the default temp folder(C:\Windows\Temp)? Because I want to delete the temp files by schedule. If the temp folder in C:\Windows\Temp, there maybe have anohter .tmp files in this folder and I want to avoid to delete them. Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much. But this is not my solution. I prefer to set the temp folder by a method or attribute to set the physical path, or to change the register. On the other way, Can I set the Environment Variables like %BOE_TEMP% for the default temp folder. Because there maybe some other systems also used the same environment variables(%TEMP%). When I delete the temp file in %BOE_TEMP% folder, I will never to delete temp files of the other systems. Could I?
