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.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop Won't Install Issues on Mac OS X 10.8.4

    I recently upgraded from CS6 to CC.  First round of installs no problem.  A week later there were a few updates including the CC Destop App and this is where the fun begins.   I installed the updates and immediately after I noticed it was only showing I had 3 apps installed when I have several.  I tried uninstalling the CC Desktop app and re-installing it but I can't get it to install.  Every time I try it just says you have an "unknown error".  I called Adobe's awesome support to which we ran throught diganostics only at the end to tell me they are having issues and to call back later.  I have been all over the forums and have yet to find a solution, nothing works (Including runing the cloud cleaner and renaming the OOBE file). 
    I am running OS X 10.8.4 any other suggestions or help will be much appreciated

    Romsinha! Thank you! I was having this problem and your instructions helped solve the issue.
    Hi iChrisChatt,
    Please try the mentioned steps:
    1. Navigate to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installer and look for CC desktop, if present run the uninstaller to uninstall it.
    2. Navigate to Applications/Utilities and look for Adobe Application Manager folder and Creative cloud folder. If present move to trash and empty it.
    3. Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE and rename to OOBE.old
    4. Download CC desktop from: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and try to install again.
    Regards,

  • Why creative cloud installer won't work?

    Hi,
    I am trying to download the trial for premiere pro and I'm having a lot of trouble.
    I click download and I have the creative cloud installer in finder. When I open it, creative cloud opens for about three seconds with a loading sign but then disappears. I have been trying to figure this out for an hour and nothing is working. I have closed everything that is open and have even restarted my computer. If you have a possible explanation for this please please please help me out.
    Thanks!

  • Creative Cloud App Won't Install CC Apps or Update CS6 Apps

    I have the CS6 Master Collection installed on my Mac. I just updated to the new OS X Mavericks 10.9 hoping that might solve the problem, but the Creative Cloud app still is NOT working.
    The app tells me I have updates, and gives me the option to add the CC apps for the Creative Suite, but gets to maybe 42% and then gives a general error.
    The pop up window error says:
    Installation failed.
    Errors encountered during installation (7).
    And when you click on More Information, all you get is this:
    Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
    which tells me nothing.
    I am not able to do anything with Creative Cloud, except to update the Creative Cloud app itself every few days. The CC desktop app (which runs from my top menu bar) is up to date, but still doesn't work.
    How do I get the app to work and update my CS6 apps and install the CC collection?
    Thank you!

    "Exit Code :7" is not what you need to look up. See the screenshot below for my error code.
    I looked up "Error: DF024" and below is the link and a screenshot of what it said on the Creative Cloud help page.
    Error DF024 installing Creative Cloud products | Mac
    I changed the name of my "Recommended" folder to "Recommended_backup". I then reinstalled and got the same error. I reread the code and realized that the path for my error is slightly different than what is listed on the Creative Cloud Help page. Instead of a path of "Library/Colorsync/Profiles/Recommended", mine actually read "Library/Colorsync/Profiles/Profiles". This time I went into the folder and changed the name of of the "profiles" folder to "profiles_back-up" and it worked!!!!!!
    Below is what my folder looks like after a successful install of Illustrator CC. The 2 folders highlighted in yellow are the folders that I renamed and the 2 green highlighted folders appeared after installation.

  • Creative Cloud trial won't install

    I want to download an Indesign trial, but in order to do so I have to download Creative Cloud. I downloaded the setup file but when I run the installation it keeps on saying " the remote server is not responding in a proper manner". What is wrong? What am I supposed to do?
    Thank you!

    I've been having nothing but problems getting indesign installed. after a month of tech support run-around, i just gave up.

  • Creative Cloud application won't install in the right disk

    Hello,
    I rencently downloaded Creative Cloud for Desktop and, when I'm trying to install Lightroom 5 to my secondary hard drive (D:), Creative Cloud ignores the setting and goes to the C: drive location (which is an almost full SSD).
    Is there any way to force the download to my other drive as it seems CC don't care about its preferences?
    OS : Windows 8 Pro x64 with Media Center

    Jeff, OK, I'll reinstall - it'll probably have to wait till next month, because of my bandwidth allowance, but I can live with that.
    Regarding the other error, I didn't give enough information, sorry: after I installed InDesign and PS, I started them up and got a prompt from the CC app to fill in some details on the Adobe website. So I filled them in and got that error, no matter what I tried. If I clicked "Use the above address", it returned to the page with the form anyway.
    Edited to add: I logged in again this morning and found the "My Information" page on the Adobe website -  it's not complaining about the address now. I don't know if it means the problem went away or it's a different page (it looks different), but everything seems to be working at the moment.

  • How do I have the creative cloud installer and apps install on a different drive other than my main C drive?

    I have been having trouble figuring out how I can put the installer and adobe apps on another drive other than my C drive. Please Help me. My C drive is getting too full.

    The CC app itself will always install on the system root drive as will several shared components. Once the CC app has been installed, you can choose a different install location for the main programs in the app's settings.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • 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)

    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.
