Creative Cloud Update Windows Fails

The application downloads the update file then appears to begin installation. When launching either the installation or the CC application, it shuts down and I am prompted to update again. This happens repeatedly. I have tried rebooting the PC but get the same result.

Perhaps I wasn't clear... The Creative Cloud desktop application is the only thing not updating, here. My issue has nothing to do with my system freezing.
Creative Cloud app alerts me of a pending update. I click on 'update" in the alert window of Creative Cloud. The progress bar indicates download of the necessary file(s), then displays "Launching...". Creative Cloud app attempts to open then minimizes back to the system tray, displaying an alert that an update is pending.
Then the whole thing begins again with the same result.

  • Creative cloud update always fails (PC), Uninstalls itself.

    Spoke with support on it once and they had me use an installation cleaner tool which didn't resolve the issue. This issue has existed for many months and it occurs on multiple machines. I could understand if it is a one time issue, but every time? Please resolve this issue. Thanks!

    Unable to check. Once you click "update" it uninstalls creative cloud so you cannot try the update again. Was using administrator account with Kaspersky active when I tried it last and failed to install. Next Creative Cloud update I can try to check with Kaspersky disabled.
    On a related note, trying to find the download link on your site for Creative cloud is quite counter intuitive. If you click on the menu and click creative cloud (while already logged in) it takes you to a page to "Start a trial" or "select a plan", and not download the actual program. If you click on the desktop apps, all the programs are listed but creative cloud is not. I have better luck Googling to find the legitimate download link than using the site navigation to find it. I finally bookmarked the page so I can find it faster next time I run into Error 50. Could you please pass that on to the web team?
    I only mention it as every time I have updated I have ended up with CC uninstalled and then I have to dig through the site every time to try to find the correct download location. After having it occur so many times, it gets old, which is why I finally posted.
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Perpetual license and creative cloud update popup window

    I initially downloaded a 30 day free trial of lightroom from Adobe website which I guess is from the "cloud". I since have purchased a perpetual license that used a new serial #. When I log into my computer I keep getting an annoying creative cloud update window saying there is an update. Is this update window only for creative cloud downloaded software and not perpetual license owners? If it is, how do I disable or remove this annoying cloud update pop up feature from my Mac.

    Hi Loveppro11,
    Please let us know the version of Mac you are using.
    Naviagte to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and uninstall Creative cloud.
    Run the Adobe Cleaner to remove any leftover ruminants: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
    Download and Install CC desktop from:https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud .
    If still the same issue then enable root account and check whether its working there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11331 .

  • Creative Cloud update to version 2.7.1.418 killed my Windows 8.1 system!

    Earlier tonight, I saw the balloon from Creative Cloud stating that an update was available.  So I installed it.  Half-way during the installation, my windows desktop disappeared.
    I started the task manager and restarted "Explorer.exe".  That made the background reappear, but the taskbar was blank with just the lone Windows 8.1 icon on the very left.  Hovering over the taskbar showed the wait cursor.
    The task manager showed everything was running normally but the desktop was clearly broken.  I checked the directories and everything was as expected.
    So I held my breath and rebooted.  After logging in, the desktop slowly appeared over about 10 minutes, but all the desktop icons were still missing, as were the taskbar icons.  Only a few of the notification icons appeared.
    I then managed to bring up a command window with the task manager (fortunately, Ctrl+Alt+Esc still worked) and launched System Restore (rstrui.exe).  It showed me the Adobe Creative Cloud was the most recent restore point (below); the previous restore point after that was a Microsoft Windows update from 2 days ago.  When I asked for the list of files that were affected by the Creative Cloud update and would be reverted, it showed this:
    I again held my breath and restored my machine to before the above CC update; after about 20 minutes of shucking and jiving and a reboot, everything was working properly again.
    So there is clearly something out of kilter with this latest update.  Adobe the Time Vampire has once again stolen 2 hours of my life, but this time, at least it wasn't a license server issue.  I think.

    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 update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

    Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation.  I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem.  Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes.  Why is this?  How can I or IT fix this?
    Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

    Hi Gveo,
    Please follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | About Creative Cloud Packager which will help you to get your issue fixed.

  • When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported no installed apps. In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run

    When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported I had no installed apps.
    In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run.
    How do I get CC to find apps installed under the previous version?
    And how do I get Lightroom CC to run?
    Peter

    I still don't know how to get CC to find that I have Photoshop CC installed, but running Creative Cloud, going to Preferences and signing out, then signing in again got Lightroom CC to work.
    Since Photoshop CC is still working despite apparently not being installed things are now OK, at least for the moment. But I'm not feeling at all happy with Adobe.

    kglad,
    Thanks for the suggestion but I have attempted this many times to no avail. As I said in my original post, "I have researched this problem on this forum and the Adobe site and believe that I have tried everything over the past week."
    It is very late here (I am in Greece). I will have a further attempt in the morning. The windows machine is hut down. Thanks for your help.

  • I upgraded creative cloud in windows 8 and it failed

    I upgraded creative cloud in windows 8 and it failed. I couldn't start it anymore. So I deleted the corrupt files and wanted to download creative cloud again, but can't get it. What should I do?

    Oldenough7 what specific error messages do you receive?  I would recommend reviewing Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html for information on how to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

  • InDesign refuses to update via Creative Cloud - each attempt fails within 30 seconds - no problem with other items - any suggestions?

    InDesign refuses to update via Creative Cloud - each attempt fails within 30 seconds - no problem with other items - any suggestions?

    What is the error message you receive?
    There is a manual way to do updates - All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • Creative Cloud CS6 Bridge failed on an attempt to update - Bridge is now gone - how

    A few weeks ago Creative Cloud CS6 Bridge failed on an attempt to update - Bridge is now gone - how do I reinstall?

    Bridge in Cs6 come along with other creative suite product like PS, ID, Ai etc, it will be tough to do the installation of just Bridge without uninstalling any of this product through AAM.
    You can download the trial from Adobe.com of any of this software and can perform the repair installation to get back Bridge but I will be interested to know how Adobe Bridge vanished from computer all of a sudden, May be it is still there ?

  • Creative Cloud Update

    Creative Cloud Update made it disappear and never came back tried other downloads etc. etc. but nothing even my add/remove programs had a blank icon for it and said it was gone and deleted the icon
    !

    Hi elfelm,
    We ask windows to reload explorer during update to load our latest dll. Sometimes, windows does quit the explorer but for some reason fails to start the explorer again. A simple workaround would be to press Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys simultaneously. This should launch task manager.  Click on File and then New task. Type in explorer and press enter. This should run explorer again. Alternatively do a hard reboot of the system.

  • Unable to install Creative Cloud Updates

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.2.0)
    There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34

    Photoshop Camera Raw 7.3
    There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34
    That enough information? After chasing around the Adobe Help system for an hour and a half today and not being able to contact anyone at all yesterday when this forst started occuring, I'm kinda getting annoyed
    Then getting on here and finding that my screen name (my own name, registered with Adobe and on the forums) isn't available, one could be excused for an excess of peevishness, I hope.

    I finally found a solution that worked!
    I had to find the adobe logs to understand what happened, and found this error "information not found in Media_db".
    Here's the location of the solution: Re: Getting fatal Exit Code 34 when installing an app
    And here's the answer copied and pasted from the page. I have windows 8 64 bit, but this solution worked for me. The downside was that it said many of my applications weren't installed in the CC app, so I had to hit reinstall on many of them, but everything installed and updated correctly after this.
    I had the very same problem, and I am using windows 7 too. After chat with the adobe tech support. He showed me how to fix the problem.
    Also, I tried the clean tool already. That didn't help.
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe   if you use 32bit system I think it would be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    Change 3 folder name.
    Adobe PCD -> Adobe PCDold
    backup -> backupold
    caps -> capsold
    Then run the setup file again.
    This method worked for me. Hope that would work for you also and save you some time.
