Creative cloud installer just disappears during install

I had creative cloud and on last update most of the applications are gone along with the desktop icon.
I have tried to install creative cloud again - but it just stops halfway and disappears during install.
I've tried safe mode install
Ive renamed OOBE folders in both librarys
I've tried the adobe application manager and that crashes on install
I've tried the Adobe clean up tool
Nothing is working to get creative cloud to reinstall on the computer - I've lost about 4 applications in creative cloud
Working on a Mac - Yosemite OS

Hi!  The cleaner failed - simply could not detect any creative cloud products. ( It did find a previous CS6 installation, long since uninstalled, actually).
Didn't get a chance to try ROOT, as an Adobe tech (Loveneesh) remoted in and did some 'known fixes'... basically he cleaned up the failed CC desktop installation ( deleted a couple of folders) - and then gave "wide open" permissions to a couple of sets of library folders ( One for machine, and one for user). I believe they were
/library/application support/
/library/application support/Adobe/
/users/[username]/library/application support/
/users/[username]/library/application support/Adobe/
Still couldn't install CC desktop, (failed twice!) BUT that at least allowed  the installation of "Adobe App Manager" - which was subsequently UPGRADED to CC Desktop. Something of a clever workaround, if you ask me!
And now its all working OK again.
I'm a bit bothered by the somewhat cavalier ""Everybody" permissions applied to library folders, but as I understand this is the quick fix when nobody quite knows what the heck is going on with permissions... (I suppose ROOT access gives much the same effect for installations)

  • Creative Cloud installer sticks with Lightroom 4.1 instead showing and installing 4.3

    What's wrong with the installer? (see topic)
    I had 4.1 installed as separate installation before I switched to the creative cloud.
    Apparently there is at least one installation bug: I removed Lightroom completely by using uninstall. Afterwards installed it via the creative cloud installer. Lightroom gets installed to C:\Programs Files\ where it was installed before, completely ignoring the Install path given in the creative cloud installer (which is C:\Adobe for me), which even makes the installer not activating the "Launch app" link, as the software is not installed where it expects it.
    So that's two things to fix: Lightroom 4.3 not available in creative cloud, install path gets ignored by Lightroom installation. :-(

    Thank you for the information about the custom installation path.  You should be able to install Lightroom 4.1 to the default location and then install Lightroom 4.3.  Lightroom 4.3 will then utilize the licensing information from Lightroom 4.1.
    We are looking at providing an updated version of Lightroom within the Adobe Application Manager in the future.

  • Creative Cloud Installations

    The Creative Cloud Installation Manager insists on installing into C:\Program Files.  I put my programs into my D:\ partition.  How do I get around the poorly written Installation Manager to accomplish this?

    The Adobe Application Manager and many of the support files will still need to reside on your C drive.  You can customize the installation location of main application files though by clicking on your name in the Adobe Application Manager and choosing preferences.

  • Creative Cloud Installer gets half way through downloading the desktop app then just disappears, without downloading, why is that?

    Creative Cloud Installer gets half way through downloading the desktop app then just disappears, without downloading, why is that?
    I have recently purchased a student subscription to the 'complete package', my credit card was charged.  Then I download the Creative Cloud Installer from the website, that's fine, then I double click the Creative Cloud Installer as per instructions, it starts downloading the desktop app, but only gets to about halfway then just disappears. 
    I've tried using both safari and chrome, restarting my computer, but neither has worked.
    I have noticed that the website will not keep me logged in for long either, it keeps switching to BUY instead of DOWNLOAD. 
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer, the installer initializes but that's it. It doesn't install. There a reason I miss? (OS X 10.9.5)
    I made an abo for the CC, Student version, downloaded the CC Installer, but every time I double click it to install, ist just initializes, and as the bar is HALF full, the window disappears and nothing. It doesn't install or anything.
    I tried re download, re tried to install,  I tried a re start. No luck.
    So what am I missing?
    I can't install any desktop application without the creative cloud?
    Thanks for any help!

    Never mind.
    Found a way by trashing AAM Updater, the OOBE, AAM an ACC itself and so on, and cleaned it all with CC cleaner.
    But this was a very complicated way for a non-IT person to do, especially when everywhere you can read "Just Download, Install an go!"
    No plus points.
    Regards.

  • Attempting to install Creative Cloud Installer crashes my computer

    I am attempting to install Adobe products from Creative Cloud using Creative Cloud installer. I am on a Macbook Pro version 10.6.8 Build 10K459 if that helps at all.
    When I try to install, the authentication window asking for the admin password crashes and I can't type in the window. When I cancel the download, Finder crashes and the only course of action is to reboot the computer manually via the power button.
    I can install other programs which go through the same administrator permission without issue, so I'm quite sure this is not my computer's problem. I have re-downloaded the installer several times to no difference.
    One additional detail that may help is that I had trials of Photoshop and Flash Pro on the same computer in the past, which have been uninstalled.
    Thank you for any help!!

    Just another detail - I was advised to try creating a new user with administrator privilege on my computer, this didn't work either, just had the same problem.

  • Creative Cloud Installer doesn't won't install anything and won't uninstall itself. Nothing in system tray and doesn't show uo in force quit applications

    I ran the installation which opened a blank window with a loading animation. Nothing happened. I rebooted and now Creative Cloud installer won't load, I can't uninstall using the uninstaller because it says the application is running though I see nosing of it. I have downloaded the dog file and tried a second installation but that just quits out after a second of attempting to run. Any advice?

    Update: 5th atemot at install and it now claims to be downloading the applications.

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

  • Creative Cloud Installer won't install.

    I've got a subscription to Photoshop CC and noticed that it doesn't appear to be up-to-date. I go to the Adobe website, to the downloads section, to see about manually downloading the latest version, but instead of getting a link to download Photoshop, it gives me a link to download the Creative Cloud installer. Fine. I download the package, open the disk image and run the installer. It begins downloading the Creative Cloud desktop application (which I apparently don't already have), getting about halfway through the progress bar before disappearing without a trace. I've since tried following the instructions for manually uninstalling Photoshop by running the uninstaller in the Utilities folder. It tells me that it needs to download the Creative Cloud installer, and I'm back to square one.
    I'm on a mid-2009 Macbook Pro running OS/X 10.9.5. Is there anything I might have missed?

    Here are the screen grabs:
    1. Downloading the CC installer package. No problems there.
    2. Running the CC installer package. So far so good.
    3. After about 2 minutes, the progress bar gets to about the halfway point.
    4. Then it just vanishes into thin air. No error code, no warning, nothing. Just BOOP! and it's gone.
    And everything else I try to do leads me back to this. If I try to uninstall Photoshop manually, it tells me that it's missing the Creative Cloud application and so I'm back to here.

    Meg81 error 214 indicates a download data validation error.  This means that the update you downloaded became corrupted likely during the download process.  I would recommend utilizing the suggestions listed in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html to attempt to improve the stability of your Internet connection.
    You can also find information on how to review your download logs which may provide additional information regarding the failure of the download.

  • I just updated Creative Cloud and it disappeared from my desktop.  In my profile, there is no longer a subscription to Creative Cloud--Just Photoshop for CS3 customers.  What is going on?

    A few minutes ago I got a Creative Cloud update notification.  I ran the update and Creative Cloud disappeared from my desktop.  What happened?  I still have Photoshop CC and Bridge CC.  But will I still get CC updates?  Also I no longer seem to have a Creative Cloud subscription--just something that looks like a monthly fee for keeping Photoshop for customers with Photoshop CS3+.  What is going on?

    I just had an online Chat with Adobe Support, and we uninstalled CC Desktop and reinstalled it.  That fixed the problem.  I have no idea what CAUSED the problem though.
