Creative Cloud desktop installation fails (OS X)

Hi,
I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 French.
I subscribed to Creative Clouds for photographers and downloaded the CreativeCloudInstaller.dmg.
When I run the installer, it downloads things for a little while and as soon as I see the "Installing Creative Cloud" message the application crashes (it closes and nothing happen).
The progress bar stops at around 50% of the process.
I tried many things :
- reboot
- disable antivirus (Avast)
- close every running application
- repair OSX permissions
- clean the Mac (running OnyX)
- run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
- add Admin and user read/write permissions to both Library folders
Nothing works and the installer still crashes at the same point.
I've looked at the -/Library/Logs/AdobeDownload/LBS.log file and I see some file access errors:

According to the log it seems it can't open the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/Core/AdobePIM.dylib file.
Thing is, after the installer crashes there is no "Core" folder into my /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/ path, only the file "pim.db" there (see attached capture below).

Ok I made it. I had to delete some Adobe folders inside the Applications/Utilities folder and it worked.
Resolved.

Error: "Failed to install" | Creative Cloud Desktop

Creative Cloud Desktop Installer - Why does it Hate Adobe Software?

It takes some real incompetence to write an installer that can't install if you already have that company's software.
So I own CS6 for Design and Web and Lightroom 4.x and have been pretty happy with it.
But in August there was a deal to try Creative Cloud for $19.99 a month. I bit on the deal and installed it.
But realize.. I don't need all the DEV Tools Nor do I need all the Video tools so $50 a month will be a deal breaking in a year. You need to create sub suites of Creative Cloud that match some of the suites you used to sell or I will abandon the cloud and I suspect like many others CS6 will become the defacto standard for years.
HOWEVER,
I may cancel my CC this month is you don't put some REAL DEVELOPERS on the install software.
It took me 2 hours, BING, GOOGLE, and uninstalling CS6, Adobe reader, Adobe Player etc to get my first Creative Cloud installed.
Today I got the message there was an update to the Creative Cloud desktop. I made the mistake of trying to update.
I now have had the CC desktop uninstalled and the installer again is gives me the fail message with no useful info it did at first install.
So I guess I have spend several hours uninstalling, cleaning, and reinstalling Adobe Software.
What IDIOT writes an installer that fails if the person actually has other software from that company installed.
What IDIOT fails to test a machine with lots of your own software installed to see if it breaks your installer
What IDIOT releases software that demands users uninstall your products every time it needs an update.
This is an Adobe failure but the entire Product Team for the CC Desktop manager application. Time to clean house and bring in the A team to fix this.
Know this.. The Third time I am put in a position to Uninstall, Clean and Reinstall CC.. IT will be Uninstall, Clean Reinstall CS6 and Cancel my CC account and block CC payments to Adobe from my Amex.
This is not new.. I can read for months and months people having this problem. Find the problem Adobe software has with Adobe software and FIX IT.
This is why the Government should have blocked the Macromedia sale. If Adobe had one decent competitor.. this is the kind of thing that would cause people to change.
Lack of competition clearly has made Adobe not care about fixing installer bugs that should he SHOW STOPPER ! CANCEL VACATIONS AND FIX. because hey where else will they go?.
Where will I go, CS6 already paid for and we are done with Adobe and down comes the giant subscription cash cow.. because the installer developers kept us from using the tools you created which are pretty good, if I don't have to keep removing them to update a utility that manages them.

got it installed.
Didn't have to uninstall all the software this time..
And I got a clue to where Adobe may be having problems. I think they have an old library that has broken code for accessing profiles in Windows.
Ran the cleaner for CS6 & Creative cloud.
it then lists all the CS6 and CC Apps including CC Desktop.. I chose that but got a :
"Was cleaned with errors" message
GREAT.. even the cleaner is broke!!!
but unlike other tools tells me where the LOG file is... EXCEPT.
Instead of c:\Users\Tim.Domain\... rest of path where it was
The error lists c:\Users\Tim~1~DOM\.. rest of path.
Well \Tim~1~DOM is a left over folder from a previous profile... that is actually nearly empty. Yet Adobe's error used it not the correct profile in the Error.
So imagine that certain other calls are also using busted Profile calls. that grab simular profies vs the correct one.. BUSTED INSTALLER!!
after the Cleaner was run for only CC Desktop.. I was then able to download and install the current version from Adobe.
Code that grabs the wrong profile path is going to cause problems....

Creative Cloud Desktop Installation Error

While I mostly work off-line due to the nature of the material I work with, and needed to convert a PDF (produced by InDesign) back into InDesign format. Late last night I purchased the PDF2ID add-on, unaware that I also needed the CC Desktop in order to install it. This morning, I tried to install the Creative Cloud Desktop but the installation fails with an error code 1. Is there any way to install the PDF2ID app locally without using CC? If not, is there any way I can get a refund?
Thanks,
Dave

Creative Cloud Desktop installation problems.

Hi, I'm having problem with the installation of Creative Cloud Desktop and then I cant download the new CC software...during the installation phase a generic error message come up. Just one time I received thi error code: A12E6. Probably the problem is that I've a Creative Cloud subscription for software in english language, but my Mac OS (version number 10.8.4) is in italian...There is a way to solve this problem? Please help me!
Many thsnks in advantage.

I manage the network for myself
Talking with yours collegues in chat, we have circumscribed the problem to the language...but they were not able to give me a solution...I've bought the licence for the English version of the Adobe Creative Cloud but the Operating System language is Italian...I've read the Thread above but I cant switch the language inside the Creative Cloud Desktop because I'm not able to install it and then to open it and I'm fine with the English...this seems to be a bug of the software
Please let me know how can I solve the problem. Many thanks.

Creative Cloud desktop application fails to launch

I'm trying to install photoshop on my macbook, however, the Creative Cloud desktop client won't launch. It opens for a few seconds then shuts down with no error message. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but same thing happens. When I login in online, and try to install Photoshop that way, again, the Desktop client launches then shuts down after a few seconds. Earlier this evening I accidently wiped my mac by deleting everything using Filezilla (:-/). Related? Do you know how I can fix it? Thank you!

Jlkj did you format and reinstall your operating system? Are you attempting to recover from a back up? If so did you only move over your documents and settings? Finally what version of Mac OS are you using?

After I restart my computer, Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app fails to open (Windows 7)

I started having this problem pretty late last night. Some of my applications still work -- Audition, Premiere, Media Encoder, and Lightroom -- but After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator also fail to launch. Some display a generic "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item." Other's don't, displaying a blank white icon next to the program file name.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled everything (including Windows 7). To be clear, Creative Cloud *works* after I reinstall it, but as soon as I reboot my computer or restart in order to reinstall other apps, I only see the image below. I canot edit preferences or view updates and requests. I then have to uninstall creative cloud and reinstall in order to get it up and running again.
I'm baffled. No clue why certain apps load and others are damaged or something, and it seems there's no work around native to Adobe.
Aother piece of perhaps relevant information; WIndows installed a critical update on Feb. 23rd (day before I started having this issue). Might be relevant, but I've since re-installed windows and in the interim period between that update and my first failure, I was able to access Photoshop and After Effects.

Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue. Renamed the file and was able to download new programs. I was even able to use them (after effects and photoshop), but when I restarted, they were lost again. Now Audition doesn't even work. I get this message: "Adobe Application Manager, required to start your trial, is missing or damaged. Please download a new copy of adobe application manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
So basically, everytime I restart my computer, I have to download the cloud desktop app, install it, then install whatever programs I want to use. Then I can't restart or else I risk losing them and have to do the process all over again. Desperate for a solution on this one.

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 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!
