    Hi  Serpent,
    Try the following Steps:
    open activity monitor and close all Adobe related applications
    navigate to: /Library/Application support/Adobe
    In that directory you will see a folder named OOBE - Rename that folder to OOBEold
    Navigate to: MAC HD /Application/Utilities directory
    In there you will see a folder called "Adobe Application Manager" - delete it

  • I got this error message today from Creative Cloud: "Installer was unable to access a critical file/directory. Please try installing again. Error Code: 49"

    It was working great up until just last week, now it's not working. What did Adobe change to cause this problem and prevent any further updates after that last update?
    When will Adobe fix it, without any action on my part. The whole idea of the Cloud was that this was supposed to take care of itself.

    So... whatz up with this?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Toni_Toaster if you need to locate the compromised file permission location then you will want to review your installation log files.  You can find details on how to review your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.
    In regards to the Exit Code 7 document - Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html.  The error is still possible with CC 2014 if the file permissions under the current User account have become compromised.  The steps to correct the file permissions is also still valid.

  • On startup CC tells me to install an update. It downloads to 5% and then brings the message: "installation-program couldn't get access to critical file/folder. Try installing again. Error code 42". Any advice?

    1st, you must be using an account with Administrator privledges

    Alauda_positos I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine the exact directory which the installer is unable to access.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors discovered to this discussion.

  • Generic Installation Error - "Please try installing again."

    I have tried installing iWork '06 on my computer about 6 times now. Each time it goes through the whole installation process and then at the end it says there was an error, with the message, "Please try installing again." I have come across other posts in this forum about installation errors, but nothing like this one. I am running OS X 10.4.4 and everything else is updated. I did not have iLife '05.
    It should be noted that even though it says there was an error, it does seem to install iWork. The problem is that when I open Pages and select a template, it unexpectedly (or should I say expectedly) quits everytime. So basically, it installed it with serious problems.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Lea

    Hi Lea,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What we're discovering (since the release of Pages 2.0) is that there are a lot of install discs that simply aren't working correctly. Mine is one of them. It would install to 98%, then tell me the install failed. I haven't reinstalled because Pages seems to be working fine, although I've opened up only one template. The only thing you can do is to call Apple tech support (they're very aware of the problem), and they'll walk you through the process of reporting all the necessary information. They'll call you back in a few days, and then probably send you a new disc.

    SAngye.IJ are you currently logged in under a restricted account?  If not and you are logged in under an administrator account then it is likely the file permissions under your current User account have become compromised.
    I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to determine the location where the file permissions have become compromised.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

  • I have a merge publication , it says : The merge process was unable to access row metadata at the 'Subscriber'

    The merge process was unable to access row metadata at the 'Subscriber'. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to write to, or use SQL Profiler to determine the source of the failure.

    what can I do ?

    Hi,
    Are you facing the same problem when starting with a new subscriber database?
    From the error message suggested that replication metadata may be corrupt. I suggest you drop and re-create the subscription.
    Then click on synchronization status and run the snapshot agent. It hard to tell the cause unless we check Merge Agent error log.
    Regarding the Unreadable Characters,
    change system locale to Chinese if current system locale is English and test the issue. A computer restart is required to make the change effective.
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I recently left my computer on my car and drove into heavy traffic.  After several hundred cars ran it over, I noted than I was unable to access my previously purchased copy of Photoshop Elements 10.  How can I download a replacement copy?

    It's true.  I was loaded down like a mule, approaching my car, needing a free hand, and thinking "I'll just set this on the roof for a moment..."
    I drove about 1/2 mile and turned left into rush-hour traffic.  No sound, no horns, no frantic hand gestures from fellow drivers, and no sinking feeling whatsoever for several minutes.  And then like that sudden stop at the end of long fall, it hit me.  I quickly turned around as though haste may matter - and it did.  Had five more minutes passed, there'd have been nothing larger than a grain-of-sand-sized evidence that my computer had once existed.  For the next 30 minutes, I dodged many hundreds of cars in my firm commitment to gather every last one of the 2,653 pieces that I would need for a successful reassembling.
    At some point during my repair attempt, I noted that I was unable to access my previously purchased copies of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10.
    And since Dell.com's record of this purchase was apparently destroyed that day as well, I'm at a loss.  Unless... "Ok, maybe I actually registered this purchase at Adobe.com...  But that would be weird as I never do such things in the name of maintaining privacy at every chance I encounter... But, I'll try... yep, 'Forgot your password,' Click... of, 'Follow this link,' Click... Minor rush that it might work... Hope fading fast... Gone!"
    When the only proof of purchase I can present is my promise that I did once purchase, is it possible for me to download these two programs without having to re-purchase?
    I lost a lot of things that day... money, work, memories, la la la.  Apparently I've now lost my dignity as well as I plead with some faceless corporation for a freebie.
    Does anyone at Adobe have a heart?  If so, I would invest my gratitude towards your benefit for the remainder of my years.
