How to: Resetting install location back to "Default Location..." (Windows 8)

I recently upgraded my PC and added an SSD as my primary drive. Like most people, I also have a secondary drive for most apps and files. In the Creative Cloud App manager, I changed the Installation location to a directory on my secondary drive. The problem was, Some applications I wanted on my SSD for performance reasons and there was no way to change back to the setting "Default location..." Because CC installs both a 32 bit and 64 bit version of some applications, I wanted to make sure that it put them in the correct "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders. After some poking about in the config files I finally found out how to do it.
(NOTE: The path below is for Windows 8 and possibly Windows 7, for other OS's it will likely be in a similiar path)
Close the Adobe Creative Cloud app (File > Quit)
Open this file in notepad: C:\Users\ExampleUser\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\com.adobe.accc.apps.....prefs
Search through the text untill you find the install location that you set. Mine was "E:\Program Files\"
Delete only that path (leave the <) and then save the file.
Relaunch the Adobe Creative Cloud app
Then check the Install Location in Preferences. It should now be set back to "Default Location..."

For Mac OS X (Yosemite) I found you need to do the following:
1. Quit the Creative Cloud Application in the title bar.
2. Open Activity Monitor, find the Process named "Adobe Desktop Service". Click the stop sign icon with an "x" in it and select Quit to stop this process.
3. Edit the file ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/com.adobe.accc.apps.....prefs
   a. Same as in the Windows case, find the line with "installLocation" and delete everything containing a file path between the following ">" and "<"
4. Restart Adobe Creative Cloud from /Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud/Adobe Creative Cloud

  • How to reset report output back to default language.

    Hello Everyone,
    I am working on 11i to R12 up-gradation process.
    I need to move some reports from 11i to R12 and resolve bugs which report faces after shifting.
    I am working on one report of output type : PDF named 'Delivery Note Report' in SCM-Order Management,
    It is a RDF with template report and not XML publisher(there is no separate RTF).
    RDF template is prepared with English text.
    In 11i report output comes in EN-US(Standard English) language
    whereas in R12 it is coming in Kenyan language.
    I need to set output language to default EN-US, how can I proceed ?
    Thanks
    Sudbun

    Hello Experts,
    I checked user preferences : it is set to EN-US
    I checked concurrent program language details : it is American English
    I got to know about a file named : uifont.ali (present in middle tier /ora/R12/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/guicommon/tk/admin)
    it contains PDF:subset section in it we can specify the particular language/font in which we want output of our report.
    I tried replacing this section with default language and restarted report server, even I tried removing that file from middle tier(just for testing purpose).
    Can anyone suggest any other approach as still the issue exist.
    Kindly reply.
    Regards

  • HT5569 How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

    How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

    There's some confusion here. Do you mean the code to visit settings/general/restrictions, or the Apple ID and password to deactivate Activation Lock? Here's how to test.
    First, go to settings/General/Restrictions. Do you need to enter a 4 digit code? If you do, then connect the phone to your computer and restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
    If no code is required to get into Restrictions what you need is the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set Find my iPhone. To verify that this is what is needed go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and passcode. If you don't have them your phone is permanently disabled. You can contact Apple Account Security to prove you are the owner of the Apple ID and get the password reset. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

    How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
    Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
    I am using Bootcamp.

    Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

  • Recent Updates reset my Mac back to defaults (Intel iMac)

    On Wednesday (01 Mar) I did ran System Update and installed all updates for my 17" Intel Duo iMac, all appeared to go fine.
    I'm not sure what happened today. First of all Safari crashed and I had to do a force quit. After that I ran Front Row for the first since the updates, watched a MPG movie (which took forever to load) and an iPhoto slideshow. Once I exited FrontRow my system was restored to its defaults.
    All my iCal data was gone, all my widgets had gone and only the defaults were show. My dock had reverted back to defaults, the menu bar clock and location of icons were reset. Bluetooth was turned on again, when I started iTunes it did the whole you never used this application before and than went and searched my HDD for music.
    I'm not sure what went on, my personal files were not deleted I don't think anyway, and all Safari bookmarks were maintained but the tabs and homepage were set back to defaults. I'm currently getting my Mac back to the way I like it. But something very wrong happened and it's a glitch which must be associated with the recent software update. I only got the Mac on Monday so the only software I have installed is what came with it.
    Did anyone else experience similar problems?
