If you have difficulties installing Lightroom 5.3 (Win 7)

Question

Hello everybody.
I recently run across a (quite common?) problem: I was not able to install Lightroom 5 via CC desk top app.
As you might know, it is necessary to download and install Lightroon this way if you have bought it as a bundle with PS CC (otherwise you will need a product key).
Follow these steps:
Logout CC desktop and close.
Use run command (by pressing windows key + r) and type %temp%.
Temp folder opens; delete all stuff there (all that can be deleted, some cannot).
Open CC desk top, sign in, and install Lightroom 5.
After unsuccesfull installation, open Temp folder (as described above), and search for the Lightroom installation file.
Run this file, and lightroom should install.
In order to see the updated software status on CC desktop, logout, and then log in again.
Lightroom should now be available and working and licensed.
Let me also make clear: LR 5 works only 64-bit on MAC (naturally, 'cause no options available), but also 32-bit on Windows.
