Creative Cloud App installer disappears after "Initialising Installer" stage

I recently had to reboot my laptop to its settings for 4 days ago, and ever since then I cannot seem to download CC app at all.
I don't even get an error message, the installer just disappears after the Initialising Installer stage.
I have tried using the uninstaller tool, but when I try to reinstall the same thing happens.
This is very frustrating. I did not expect to have to pay for the CS6 products and to not be able to download the software itself.
I pay monthly for this service and the more days I go unable to download the software seems frankly a waste of my money.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

For Windows :
Open C:drive and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe.
Open Adobe folder and delete folders named Adobe Application Manager and OOBE.
Important :
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe.
Open Adobe folder and if present delete Adobe Creative Cloud folder.
Then try to install Creative Cloud desktop application.

Creative Cloud app (installer) does not show all installed apps - do I get updates?

Hi,
with the installer, I've installed CC-versions of several apps (InDesign, Lightroom, PS, Premiere etc). They all work as expected, and start registered to me etc.
When I now open the Creative Cloud app, I see only "Photoshop CC" listed under "Your apps".
On the "Home" tab, I only see one activity; namely the update of "Creative Cloud" 12 minutes ago.
1) Do I get upgrades for the other installed apps regardless? (nothing over the last few weeks, at least - been like this for some time)
2) How can I get the installer in sync with installed versions, without reinstalling the individual apps? (takes time, have done it once already, sigh!)
Addl. info;
On my first install, I accidentaly got localized (Norwegian) versions of the apps (due to installer defaulting to OS language/locale, I guess). Locale also affects keyboard shortcuts, and that confused me so much (muscle memory since Photoshop 3), so I had to *reinstall*. (Searched forums, no way to change locale except first change in Creative Cloud installer, then reinstall all apps).
Anyways; I did this, got English versions (with English shortcuts, phew!), and I had the reinstalled apps in the Creative Cloud app for quite some time. At some update, they got lost.
Best regards,
Henrik

Hey Pete,
I'm not sure why Acrobat XI is not recognized. It is on my system. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling it.
You can uninstall through the OS
Control Panel > Programs & Features
and then reinstall it through the Creative Cloud app or https://creative.adobe.com/products

Adobe Creative Cloud Apps Installation Failed

Everytime I try to download After Effects CC off of the application of Creative cloud, after 25%, the operation breaks and it says "Installation Failed" I re-installed the Creative cloud, restarted my computer, checked my internet connection, I don't know what seems to be the problem, Please help

In that case, we need to re-install AAM as it seems to be an issue with that.

Creative cloud apps keep closing after opening

My adobe cc apps cloes after opening them. I have tried everything on the forums, even singing out from adobe creative cloud. Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Flash keeps closing after opening, the only one working is adobe Muse. I have purchased the adobe membership 3 days ago and i still havent be able to use them exept Adobe muse. How is that Muse works and all the others applications dont? Please help. Thanks.

I had the exact same issue, seems like the application can't connect to the server and just quit or crash! Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Creative Cloud App Installation

I just joined the cloud specifically to gain access to AE and Premier. They are both listed amongst the apps that the Cloud covers. However, my Installation Manager doesn't list the apps and if I try to install from the Apps page, it just opens my Installation Manager that lists all the other Adobe packages, but not the 2 I want.
Any ideas why this might be?
Thanks.
Paul

Your system does not meet the requirements. All video apps require a 64bit OS with the respective version and patches. Refer to the tech specs on the product pages.

Lightroom doesn't appear via creative cloud app

I have lightroom installed but it doesn't show as a creative cloud app and I have the option to install it via the creative cloud app/installer. How can I move my lightroom installation so that it's integrated in the creave cloud updating/installing system? Thanks

Do you mean that you have the Lightroom perpetual-licence version installed? As you've found, the CC app isn't smart enough to detect that. There is no difference between the perpetual-licence version and the CC version except the licence, but if you want to switch to the CC version, you will have to install it again via the CC installer, and yes, it will download the whole G byte of code, and install the identical code over your existing installation, keeping your existing catalog, preferences etc but changing the licence. As the code is identical, it doesn't make any difference whether you switch to the CC version (which I did) or stay with the perpetual-licence version. It will matter only when LR6 comes, which will be free with CC but which you'll have to pay for with the perpetual licence.
Some people have reported that you have to remove the perpetual-licence version before installing with the CC app, but I didn't.
Once you've done that, then you can update it (if there are any further 5.x updates) either by downloading and installing the perpetual-licence version or via the CC app, and it keeps the CC licence.
No, it doesn't really make sense to me either. What you need to remember is that the CC app and installer, and indeed the whole infrastructure behind CC is a bit hokey. I think it was written by an intern.

Between each step I uninstalled/reinstalled the Creative Cloud app. The logs (in ~/Library/Logs/) don't show any major issues, other than claiming that a preference file can't be read. I tried deleting all preferences related to ACC and the log continued to show the same message.
Any suggestions outside of the standard list of fixes would be most welcome, at this point I'm ready to cancel my CC subscription, I feel Adobe made a big mistake by changing to this format. When it works, it's great, but when it doesn't it causes loss of productivity and immense frustration.

Tried this with no success. Although, your mention of permissions led me to launching Disk Utility and repairing permissions. I then noticed my hard drive had a failing S.M.A.R.T. status. I swapped out the hard drive and restored from Time Machine backup, repaired permissions, uninstalled Creative Cloud, repaired permissions again and removed all files mentioned in my original post. I then reinstalled and: still get the same dang error! This is ridiculously frustrating.

Installation fails via Creative Cloud App manager on windows 8 - can't find log

No information given in Creative Cloud App manager.
I click on "Learn More"

"More information" is a link/button but clicking it does nothing.
Where are the logs on windows 8?

Creative Cloud app detecting installation of LR on old drive

Recently upgraded my Macbook with a SSD drive (MainDrive) and did a fresh install of 10.9.4 (Mavericks). In the process I moved my old HDD (now SecondaryDrive) to the optical drive. This drive had LR 5 installed but I would prefer a new installation of my new drive. The Creative Cloud app seems to detect Lightroom on the old drive and simply states it is 'up to date'. What is odd, is it did not detect the installation CS5 on the old, now secondary drive.
Without touching my old installation or drive, how can I get the cloud app to simply install a fresh copy of LR on my now main SSD drive? Is there a way to tell the app to only scan the OS drive?
I have tried a few tips such as removing the opm.db file without success. I moved the LR app out of Applications on the SecondaryDrive to the trash, restarted the Creative Cloud app and LR is still found.
I do not want to boot into the other drive and uninstall LR, I feel I really shouldn't have to. Any suggestions?

Just saw the status of LR move from installed to not installed. I was simply in the settings pane of the Cloud app. Very odd.

Creative Cloud Setup installer keeps disappearing

So, when I try to download Creative cloud it just disappears. It's not even downloading or anything because I've tried it loads and waited for an hour. Why is this happening?? Please help me because it worked when I previously had it.
If you can find a solution, that will be GREAT!

Procedures to re-install Creative Cloud apps after from Win 7 to Win 8 Upgrade

I'm planning to upgrade my PC to from Win 7 64 bit to Win 8 64 bit. I currently have Creative Cloud apps installed on the Win 7 PC. I will have to reinstall all apps after the upgrade to Win 8. Before doing the upgrade, should I deactivate all Creative Cloud apps under Win 7 or will the software recognize that I'm on the same PC when I go to re-install my apps? So, same physical PC, but different operating systems.
Thank you

Certainly.
When you install the operating system that you are licensed for, the installer will not require you to manually input a 25 character activation license key.
Any HP notebook manufactured from 2011 has been using the SLP method. That is why you don't see a Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity with the 25 character activation license key anywhere on the notebook.
