Install Lightroom through AAM

I am trying to install Lightroom through the Adobe Application Manager and unfortunately it doesn't appear in my list of applications. I have read that this will happen if I am running Windows XP but since I am using Windows 8 this should not be an issue...
I have tried to install the trial of Lightroom 4.2 thinking that I would then be able to activate it through my Adobe ID but it is asking for a serial number which I obviously don't have through the Creative Cloud subscription.
Any advice on how to get AAM to allow me to install Lightroom? Or just generally to get Lightroom installed on my computer!
Thanks,
Anthony

I should add that I have tried updating AAM to the latest version as suggested in http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-creative-cloud-faq.html#id_36836
Thanks,
Anthony
Edit: It appears that it is a specific system issue rather than a general problem with AAM/Windows 8 or my profile or something... Lightroom appears correctly on my laptop.

  • LR 4.1 installed through AAM, How do I upgrade to 4.2?

    This may seem like a stupid question, but I want to reduce the possibility of screwing up my current Creative Cloud installs.
    Background
    I have a Creative Cloud membership w/ several applications installed through AAM.  All show as "installed" as I'd expect and seem to function just fine.
    AAM Application Updating
    Some applications automatically install updates through the AAM -- that is, they update automatically.  For example just today PS CS6 and Premier Pro CS6 updated via the AAM update process, first notifying me via the AAM icon that there was an update, then allowing me to choose to go ahead with it -- all through AAM.
    BUT, Lightroom doesn't seem to do this.  I was notified of an update to Lightroom (4.2) when I opened the application. 
    The notification indicated I should download and install it.
    My Questions
    Should I go ahead and uninstall LR4.1, then reinstall LR from AAM?  (this assumes AAM is now updated to install LR4.2 vs. LR4.1)
    -- Or --
    Should I run the LR4.2 download over my existing AAM installed LR4.1?   (seems like this isn't usually a good idea)
    -- Or --
    Should I uninstall LR4.1, then install LR4.2 via the downloaded updater?  (seems this might cause trouble w/ AAM showing that LR is not "installed")
    I've got a recently setup machine and have everything working as desired, so I'd prefer not to have to revert or clean up something caused by my not taking the appropriate updating path.  I've done several searches both via Google and here and found nothing noting the difference between LR and other AAM installed apps for updates -- so I'm left puzzling what I should be doing for this upgrade to LR4.2...
    Any assistance would be most appreciated.
    Thanks!
    -Bonnie

    Some additional info relating to my 4.1 to 4.2 upgrade and LR CC (Creative Cloud) installs as a whole is here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4782301#4782301
    So far I'm hoping that I'll be able to remove the 4.1 version without negative impact on 4.2 which is now installed in a non-default directory.
    The overall upgrade process does not mirror that for other CC apps.  Instead it follows its own path.
    Check the link above for more info.

    I have recently acquired Lightroom 5 as part of a Canon camera purchase. I currently have Lightroom 4 so would like to install Lightroom 5 as an upgrade. However, having gone through the install process, Lightroom 5 has installed separately. So please can you tell me how to re-install Lightroom 5 as an upgrade to Lightroom 4 instead?

    Upgrades do not replace their older versions and even if they did you did not purchase an upgrade (which is simply a discounted version of a full version).  If you want to get rid of Lightroom 4 go ahead

  • I am running Lightroom through the CC, but the CC app shows that I need to install Lightroom ( it is already installed). I am running on a MacBook Pro

    any suggestions?I don't want to reinstall it but I fear I may not be getting updates.

    DMLphotos
    Have  you installed Lightroom 5.7.1 update, you may getting the install option since you have not installed the latest update, check and confirm latest version of Lightroom installed on your computer. If not I would suggest you to go ahead and install Lightroom  5.7.1 from your Creative Cloud App.

  • Error 1935 when trying to install Lightroom on windows 7 64 bit.

    Having problems installing lightroom it comes up with the following message halfway through install:

  • Can't even install Lightroom

    Hello,
    first of all I've to apologize because my English istn't as good as it should be!
    I hope you'll understand my problem.
    As mentioned in the topic line, I can't install Lightroom 3. The installmanager runs well until copying the new data, then at ca. 80% this error massage appears:
    Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {5C21D397-1DA5-3749-8C1F-165F21DE9E3E}. HRESULT: 0x80070002. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, assembly name: Microsoft.VC90.MFCLOC,version="9.0.21022.8",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorAr chitecture="amd64",type="win32"
    So far no problem. I checked the web for solutions, the following things seemed to fit:
    1. Re-Install .NET Framework - I've done this twice in the meantime...
    2. Re-Install Visual C++ Runtimes - Also done twice
    3. Close all other programms incl. AV via msconfig - done
    But this error hasn't gone jet...
    I thought for a short period of time that, maybe, the cd is corrupted. Luckily Adobe has the client downloadable on its website.
    How could I say? Installation via web-client also failed, same Error....
    Now I don't know what to do further! I would be glad if any of you can give me a hint or probably a solution.
    Thank You! -fehnse

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have found  ADOBE support lacking, to say the least.  They had me run a program which invalidated my Vista License, and then had the nerve to tell me to contact Microsoft to fix that problem.  And THEN they had the nerve to tell me that LR3 wouldn't install because my Vista license was no longer valid.  They could not seem to comprehend that my first attempt to install LR3 was BEFORE they had me run the program which invalidated my Vista license. 
    I corrected my license problem by going through the online validation process with MS.  The final straw was the last tech who seemed to be questioning my honesty.  He was skeptical that I had not validated Vista, and wanted to get remote access to my computer.  That takes some nerve, doesn't it?  I didn't allow him access but he took my telephone number to have a "Senior," tech call me.  I doubt I will get that call, based on the comments of other Adobe customers.
    I am shocked at this kind of service from Adobe.  I am comparing to HP, which has been surprisingly helpful with my laptop that has been out of warranty for two years.
    Anytime someone tells me that I have to re-load my OS, I know I'm talking to the wrong person.  Reloading the OS and all the programs is always the easiest resolution for the person giving the advice.  It may work, but it's not always necessary.  After having done that a couple of times, I decided to buy another laptop hard drive and clone my internal drive to it every couple of weeks.  If my drive goes bad, or I need to reload every thing, I just swap the drives, and restore files which have been updated since the last cloning. 
    I found some instructions on Intuit's Turbotax website which I will try when I return home from the weekend, if I haven't heard from Adobe.
    I wish that I could paste the link; just google "error 1935 turbotax" and it's usually at the top.
    I'll attach a screen print so you can see what it should look like.

  • Can't install Lightroom 4 Error 18501

    Can't install lightroom 4.  Error is 18501.  Says I need to update explorer, adobe flash, etc.  I went through all that.  I have Explorer 10.  I have latest adobe flash, etc.  Have Windows 7.  Had a disk of LR4.  Installed.  Clicked on shortcut it made.  Asked to purchase a license.  Then it said I needed all these things I just mentioned and keeps reporting same error 18501.

    Sounds liek something is blocking the relevant components. Turn off any extras like security tools and other utilities.

  • Help - can't install Lightroom 4.1?

    I got the chance to try out the 5d mark iii today, so I installed Lightroom 4 on my computer. After realizing the files wouldn't load correctly, I researched the issue a bit and found out about the 4.1 RC2 download. I downloaded it and ran through the installer on my computer (iMac, OSX Lion 10.7.2) and everything seemed fine, yet when I open Lightroom it still reads as version 4.0, and won't import the RAW files from the mark iii. I tried restarting, re-downloading, etc, and have had no luck. Any help would be much appreciated!

    All, I spent about 2 hours with Adobe Technical Support yesterday and got it to work.
    We uninstalled LR4.0 and removed any shortcuts
    Performed a HD verify and repair
    Went to Adobe.com and downloaded a trial verison from online
    Installed LR4.0
    Then Installed LR4.1 rc from Adobe labs.
    Let me know if this worked for you!

  • How can I re-install Lightroom,removed but still showing in Creative Cloud as being installed.

    Well I think I screwed up. Three days ago I purchased the Photography Creative Cloud and downloaded Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom. This evening I removed Lightroom through Windows un-install. It is still showing as being installed on the computer in the Creative Cloud window. I'm pretty sure I should not have un-installed it this way, but there it is. Is there anyway I can get it back on my computer? I am not ready for it yet but will need it in the future.
    Thanks for any help provided,
    Linda  

    Hi Linda,
    I think you're OK. The Creative Cloud window only updates daily, and/or with every relaunch. The Creative Cloud application currently has no uninstall utility, so you need to use the Windows control panel to uninstall.
    If you want to force an update to the Creative Cloud status, quit and relaunch the process. To quit, go to the gear icon in the upper right and choose quit at the bottom of the menu:
    If Lightroom doesn't show up as 'Install' after relaunching, let me know and I can investigate more.
    regards,
    steve

  • Anyone see this error on trying to install Lightroom 6?

    This is what I get when trying to install Lightroom 6, either as a stand-alone product or Lightroom CC as part of my CC membership.
    Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR: DF024 ...
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s)
    ----------- Payload: Adobe Lightroom 6.0.0.0 {8048A5DF-8A70-5BE1-954B-E0FDE1BD0D0D} -----------
    ERROR: DF024: Unable to preserve original file at "/Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Resources/library_window.nib" (Seq 9473)
    Can't seem to find this error -- let alone suggested solutions -- anywhere in the Knowledgebase.

    Perhaps I wasn't clear. I wasn't trying to install both. Either one would do, but neither one would install, both generating the same error. There is no uninstaller for Lightroom 6 or CC, because neither one installed. I tried the CC version first, and when that failed to install because of the above error DF024, I downloaded the 6 version and tried to install that. Same result -- nada -- same error code. I've done all the usual attempts at fixing the problem. Signed out an in of CC, rebuilt disk directory with Disk Warrior, run Apple repair disk, cleaned out all the caches, etc. Still won't install. Did a Safe Boot -- still won't install.
    The next step is to reinstall the Yosemite OS (its a Mac), but I'm trying to find out if there is an easier solution, because if that doesn't work, I'll have to go through the PITA of reformatting the whole disk and restoring it, which I'm trying to avoid.

  • Has anyone had trouble installing Lightroom 2 on MAC version 10.8.5?

    I'm trying to re-install Lightroom 2 on my MAC but it doesn't show up anywhere in the applications.  The adobe help desk said that it may or may not work due to the version.  Does anyone know anything about it or how to fix it so I can install it?

    How far do you get through the installer?  If I remember rightly, LR2 was released before application signing was added to the OS.
    Try skipping the cd and going straight to 2.7 for a start

  • Unable to install lightroom 3.6 error code 2753

    Had issues with my computer today (windows 7 64 bit) finally was able to get a restore point that would allow the machine to access windows and all the programs (including Photoshop CS5) were functional except lightroom 3.6. I was not able to have the windows un-installer remove lightroom so I had to go and do it manually. I downloaded another copy from Adobe. When I try to install I get the error code 2753. The file Lightroom.exe is not marked for installation. I checked the FAQ's and there was only one reference to that code but it refered to lightroom 2.0 software installation. I re-installed lightroom 2.6 with no problems and I tried installing the 3.6 software after installing the 2.6 version. I had no luck still receive the 2753 error code.  When I initially installed the 3.6 version on 12/4 there were not issues and the software worked with no problems. Any ideas / suggestions? Thank you.

    Hello Jeff, Thanks for the reply. What had occured was when I was working inside of Lightroom one of those balloon messages popped up making note of a hardware driver not working or missing, I really did not pay attention to be honest I thought it may have had something to do with the download of files off of the compact flash card. After downloading the files into lightroom I turned off the machine. Later on when I came back to work on the files the machine would not boot up into windows 7 instead a sort of chkdsk utility initiated, after it finished checking the disk I was given the option of going to a previous restore point, the first time it did not work. On the second try with a different restore point selected I was able to bring up windows. Everything was working except for the lightroom software. After running Registry Reviver and also optimizing the registry I still was unable to get lightroom to work.
    I decided to download another copy and re-install. Well the first trouble encountered was not being able to un-install the software from the control panel utility so I tried installing the software without the old software being removed, that is the first time I received the 2753 error code. I checked adobe.com FAQ page and the only mention about this code was in reference to the 2.X version. I tried the procedures there anyway. Still no success with the error code 2753 still coming up. I then decided to remove the software manually from the computer (only in windows, did not go through DOS or to regedit). I again ran Registry Reviver software  and tried installing the software again with no success still.
    Finally I decided to google the error code 2753 and review what was actually happening. Part of the instructions to clear the code required me to download some software that microsoft created (msicuu2) that would force the removal of the lightroom software from my machine (it was still showing up in the control panel un-install eventhough I removed it from the program file in windows). I again ran Registry Reviver and Optimized the registry, re-booted the machine gave it another try and this time I had success.
    I am happy to report that Lightroom is working without any problems. I cannot say with any certainty what caused the problem initially for all I know it could be just a case of SH's syndrome.
    I took note in your reply about the stability issue, I will pay more attention for now to see if there is a re-occurrence of this or a similar problem and then address it at that time. I would like to mention that I did not loose any photo files or have any files corrupted due to this problem........ so I am thinking more a windows problem as you alluded to in your reply than it being a Lightroom problem.

  • Re-install lightroom after a hard drive crash

    Hello,
    I want to re-install LIGHTROOM 5 on one of my 2  Macbook computers because it had a hard drive crash.
    The computer is repared, so I tried to re-install LIGHTROOM.
    The only solution that I found available online, was to download LR5 through Creative Cloud.
    But I have already paid a license (in 2013) bought online.
    How should I do to put my license number on the LR5 that I downloaded from the CC ?
    My fear is that I will have to pay (in one month) for a product I already bought...
    Thank you for your help.
