Creative Cloud Desktop update error A12E1 - getting really tired of this...

So I've bought CS6 a while ago and up until there was the Application Manager used for updates everything was fine.
Since you decided to force me to use Creative Cloud for updates it's became really annoying.
Every time  there is an update for one of my Adobe Products there is also an update for Creative Cloud Desktop. And it seems to be impossible to install it.
It doesn't matter if I try to update the existing Installation or Download fresh Setup-Files. It doesn't work.
If I try to update, it's initialised, downloaded and then it throws Error-Code A12E1.
If I try to install a freshly downloaded Setup-File of CC Desktop it's the same, just with Error-Code 50.
So here is what I've tried already:
Updating with disabled Security Suite
Try again in SafeBoot
Uninstall CC Desktop an reinstall a fresh Download
Installing freshly downloaded files with disabled Security Suite
Try this again in SafeBoot
Download the CC Cleaner tools to get rid of the old Installation before I can install it again, which then does the trick.
As I said EVERY TIME.
What is supposed to be a 5 Minute update in background gets to be an hour of rebooting, uninstalling, cleaning an reinstalling.
I'm running a 64Bit Windows 8.1 Pro.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please give me a hint. I'm all out of Ideas.
*EDIT*
I've postet this after I got the initial Error-Message, thinking that using the Cleaner Tool would help this time again. But there I was wrong! Very Wrong!
I'm seriously disappointed when I think about how much money I've spend on this Software...
After Using the Cleaner Tool (which completed without errors) I couldn't install CC Desktop again, because it was just throwing Error-Code 50 again and again.
All attempts to fix this were unsuccessful. Errorlogs were NOT created. The last Error-Log I could find was from the last update back in march.
After a while of google search I found an old post from November from someone with similar problems.
Solution:
Uninstalling CC Desktop
running the cleaner tool
reboot
download CC Desktop setup files
set the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 3
try to install with administrative rights, wait for Error-Message that something is missing and you have to redownload the setup-files
undo the compatibility-settings and run the Setup with administrative rights again
Now it worked.
I'm seriously interested in what kind of update this is, that it is resolved by setting the compatibility to Windows XP SP3...
Especialliy, since Creative Cloud was promised to make my whole workflow "joined" and therefore easier.

  • Is there a way to temporarily ignore the Creative Cloud Desktop update? i.e. Mobile data use

    I am a mobile tablet user (Windows 8).  I am connected via mobile data wifi sometimes, and I need to grab a font or make a quick update to an Illustrator or InDesign project with a new font etc.  The problem is that when a Creative Cloud Desktop update is available, it forces you to update.  This can be slow and expensive over a mobile network.  Is it possible to ignore an update temporarily so that you can function without the update?  Quite frankly the Creative Cloud Desktop application seems to have an update every three to four days --- Makes it bothersome.

    Hi WarithNiallah,
    Please follow the below mentioned steps:
    Windows: C/Program Files(X86)/Common Files/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPref.dat and rename it.
    Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterinventory/1.0/AdobeUpdaterAdminPref.dat and rename it.
    Now there should be no update prompt.

  • Error Code 50 when installing Creative Cloud desktop update - tried everything and no joy

    Folks I've been trying to update my CC desktop app to the latest release and keep getting Error Code 50 at around 47% of the install process.
    I've tried every suggestion that has been posted on the Adobe site and forums including:
    1 Opening my CC account in the Adobe website and then trying to install - no joy.
    2 Running the Adobe cleaner and re-installing CC - no joy.
    3 Restarting computer and attempting reinstall - no joy.
    4 All of the above with my firewall and anti-virus switched off - no joy.
    I'm running Windows 8.1 on a hi-spec machine and I've never had an issue with any update of the CC App or any of the program apps I utilise (Lightroom, Photoshop and Acrobat).
    Not really sure what I do now as I've tried everything and really need to keep working (pro photographer) so am having to ditch this for now as it's taking too much time.
    Grateful for any suggestions please.
    Many thanks
    James

  • Why can't I launch my Creative Cloud Desktop App? (I get Error -1712)

    I have the Creative Cloud Desktop app downloaded and installed on my iMac (Early 2009/Mavericks OS). When I try to open it I get error -1712. Up until today I have been able to launch it. I cleared out my caches completely today so am wondering if that has something to do with it (cookies?). I can launch other Creative Cloud Apps such as InDesign Photoshop and Illustrator. I am having font sync issues with TypeKit and InDesign as well--typekit says my fonts are synced, InDesign says they are not. Help!

    You might try restarting your computer and then attempt downloading Creative Cloud again. In case you still face this issue please share the screenshot.
    Thanks,

  • "Creative Cloud Desktop update"!

    Hello, I have just upgraded to the new Yosemite Operating System and I'm unable to download "Creative Cloud Desktop"! I'm trying to update my CC software and not having any luck. Please see the attached photo. This is as far as it gets. Please advise. Thanks.

  • Creative Cloud desktop update keeps failed to install

    I try to update the creative cloud desktop but, it keep failed to in still

    Tried all solutions referred here and in other threads: (1) downloading tne installer from CC download area, (2) changing the name of given folders, (3) uninstalling CC desktop, (4) removing residual data with CC cleaner tool, and (5) changing user privileges in Application support folder.
    None worked.
    I also analysed the error log. It shows the error "DW040", which only reference in knowledge base points to an issue with third-part programming to CS. After using the Cleaner tool, I found another log reporting "AAM installation ended with return code 251", but again the knowledge base knows nothing about it.
    So we are going to the sixth day of problem without a solution. I cannot install other apps from my subscription without CC desktop app, although I am paying the whole price (just installed PS, MU and ID). Adobe is forcing me to lost several hours just trying solutions –and the same is going with many other users – besides not being able to use what I paid for.
    I would expect a new CC desktop version to address these issues, but even this is quite uncertain. After searching in forum and knowledge base, I found several references to similar installation errors with CS6. Since then, Adobe not only was unable to fix this issue but also released a new package (CC) with tons of marketing investment but without equivalent attention to user support and app testing.
    Very very frustrating.

  • 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 Download Error.

    ( Only do the following steps if you have absolutely no other Adobe applications installed on the machine).
    2) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and rename the folder to Adobe_old
    3) Navigate to C:\Program Files \Common Files\Adobe and rename it to Adobe _old
    4) Navigate to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Adobe and rename this to Adobe_old.
    Post trying the above, please Download Creative CLoud Desktop Application from this link : Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial and try the installation again.
    Oh and yes, do not forget to turn off the Antivirus post installation to make sure your Antivirus is not blocking the application to connect to us.

  • Creative Cloud desktop application Error 1

    When trying to download the Creative Cloud desktop, it won't work and says Error 1

    1) Uninstall Creative Cloud
    2) Go to Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial and install again.
    3) Restart your computer after the installation and the problem will be fixed.
    I was on a phone couple minute ago with a tech support from Adobe and by doing those steps the problem was fixed.

  • Is there a way to disable / postpone Creative Cloud Desktop updates?

    When Creative Cloud Desktop discovers an update to itself, it forces me to download and install it immediately. During the download nothing works. This effectively blocks my entire workflow for about 45 minutes. I would like to turn off automatic updates, how do I do it?

    Forces you?  Mine only notifys me, waiting for my input to begin the update process.
