Installing Lightroom 6 actually installed Lightroom CC

I have an Adobe ID and own Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5. I also have CC for photographers under the same account. I just purchased and downloaded the standalone version of Lightroom 6 and installed it. When I ran the program, it said I needed to update the Adobe Application Manager which I then updated. After that upgrade, it prompted me to login to Adobe and then launched Lightroom. Lightroom converted my LR5 catalog to 6 and once it was done I noticed that things were a bit different so I checked Help | About and discovered that it had installed Lightroom CC.
This is not what I want on this particular computer. I use the standalone versions of Lightroom and Photoshop one both a desktop system and a notebook. I run Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC on a separate desktop and notebook which my wife uses. Because of this installation issue, we will be having issues with both of us running CC on our notebooks and me trying to also run Lightroom on my desktop. But, even if that problem is not a big deal, I did not get what I purchased and need a way to recover immediately.
I called Adobe Support and have been on hold for 1 hour and 15 minutes so far. Figured the forum might be faster than waiting to talk to them.
Any ideas?

Backed up Lightroom 2 to a Seagate 'backup plus'. Will be installing Lightroom 5 to a new Win 7 computer and want to move only the photos to a dedicated 1 tb drive in the machine. Anyone know where my actual photos are stored on 'backup plus'? Thank you

Thank you for your reply. I have been backing up my entire computer and when I follow anything having to do with Lightroom I am not finding actual photos. I hope to find the photos that have been backed up along with updates to them that my wife has been performing during her edits. Found Lightroom 2 catalog Previews/Lrdata. Could that be it?

Hi Jeff;
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I haven't actually tried! I thought it would be better knowing before hand.
Will access the link you kindly provided, download the 2.7 version, and use my serial number and see what happens.

I have installed Adobe Lightroom CC. In the process of launching, a popup appears, that says: "AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED. Cannot create the required folder: /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets." So even though Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch. What do I need to do to allow it to launch?

The problem was solved today. Here's the full story. I'm a Mac user. At first I installed Lightroom CC on my iMac (desktop). I had this problem so I called Adobe, and was referred to a "special unit" . After about an hour the tech solved it for me ... we did a screen sharing and she took control of my computer for a loooong time. Because of language difficulties, at first I wondered if she knew what she was doing but she eventually solved it. Although she couldn't explain exactly what she was doing, she summarized it by saying "it was a permissions problem." I asked if I would have the same issue later when I installed it on my laptop (Macbook Air). She said probably not.
But I did. The same internal error popup arose on launch and launch did not complete on my laptop. I tried chat but no joy so I eventually called Apple Care. I had noticed that on my laptop (and the iMac for that matter), that there was no Library folder after my user name. The Apple tech explained that the Library folder is actually there but it is hidden because it's very easy for users to do some very nasty things to their computer by going astray while in the Library folder. The folder is actually there, but they hide it. I did remember seeing that the tech helping me with my iMac had typed the work "Library" while she was controlling my computer. Basically she had activated the hidden Library folder so she could open the path that Lightroom was trying to follow to create that "Develop Presets" folder. For some reason, the inability to create that folder in the launch process was preventing launch from being completed. The Apple tech said she didn't actually have to do that and activated the Library folder by use of the Go selection on the menu bar. Anyway, once that complete path was replicated and opened, the next step was to go to the Lightroom Permissions field and add my user name to the user categories already there and enable "read and write" permissions to my user name. Once done, I shut down my laptop, and then rebooted. I launched Lightroom and then boom, voila, heavens to betsy, etc. it launched and suddenly a dismal weekend turned into a great one.
I am not a geek, so I hope this makes some sense. I also hope Lightroom launches again tomorrow and beyond!

Lightroom 1.4 catalog corrupted after installing/uninstalling 2.0

Hi all,
I have about 10,000 images in my catalog, including thousands of edits made in the last week. I installed version 2.0 yesterday, but because of numerous problems (very slow, slider problems, etc) I got rid of it and tried to revert to 1.4.1
Unfortunately, ever since doing so, somehow my database has become corrupted and I can't regularly export catalogs. Sometimes they work, most times they don't. Most of my edits are very substantial and I've spent days working on a few of them so I can't risk anything major. I never had the opportunity to backup the catalog either (backups were turned off by default on this install).
SO. Is there ANY possibility of un-corrupting this database or have I just lost months of work keywording ?

Which is fine, but it's the version 1 catalog that has corrupted. I deleted the version 2 catalog after removing the software from my PC. I'm able to navigate within my catalog and make changes, etc, but exporting anything is hit or miss, and more hit than miss. If I choose to export x number of images as a catalog it will start the process, but within about 3 or 4 seconds will error out saying "Lightroom wsa unable to export the catalog. Unrecoverable error when generating export catalog." Nothing further to aid in troubleshooting.
This never happened before I installed the new version of the software. V2 seems to have modified it in some way upon import, or else co-incidentally something else happened to it at the same time. Either way, I can't export several groups of altered Nikon NEF images. I tried exporting the catalog without including the actual image files but no-go there either. The originals are safe (thank goodness), but the edits can't be moved, and some of them took hours of tweaking to accomplish.

Installing Lightroom 5.5 on Windows 7 Professional

I purchased Lightroom 5 awhile back and installed it on a laptop. I just got a new laptop and downloaded the file, but it will not install. It says I may not have enough space on my hard drive or have permission to install. I have 152 GB on my hard drive and have full permissions (it's my computer). Any advice would be great.

then you have corrupt installation files.
if you have a disk, copy its contents to a desktop folder and use that folder to install.
otherwise, redownload checking for the correct download size. actually, you may as well instll lr 5.6 unless there's some reason you prefere 5.5

Lightroom does not show installed in Creative Cloud App

For the second time, I find out there is a Lightroom Creative Cloud update and when I go to the Creative Cloud App, it shows not installed. I have only installed it from Creative Cloud. If I select Install, it installs and works fine. Used to be I'd get a little flag that showed there was an update--no more. Any thoughts?

For me, in CC app LR shows as 'Install" ie. you'd think it's not installed. I'm on 5.6 still BTW, so it really should show in installed as "update" as PS does. Of course LR never actually updates, you get to use up 1GB of your download allowance because they'd like you to have both versions even if you only want the 64 bit, and you run it as an install.
The really brilliant thing about this is you can only "install" that 1GB download on one computer even though it's been downloaded as a separate exe file. If you also want it on your laptop you get to download that 1GB file all over again because it can only be authenticated by CC when it has been downloaded by CC on the computer you want it on. Do not make the mistake of thinking that because you have CC installed on the second computer that using the 1GB file from the first computer and doing the install that your LR will be authenticated by CC after the fact.
It's only been this way for a year, so I'm sure will be fixed soon. I suspect it's something to do with LR being a standalone product that's being 'patched' into CC's auth system. I think I'm going to go back to buying the standalone when LR6 comes out, I rarely use PS.

Trouble installing Lightroom CC (2015) download

On my Windows 7 computer I downloaded Lightroom CC (2015) on Creative Cloud. It shows-up in my "Installed Apps" list along with Photoshop CC (2014). Photo works just fine. Lightroom does not. In my Start Programs it is listed as "Adobe Lightroom" not "Adobe Lightroom CC 2015." Clicking on it does not start the Lightroom program. I have uninstalled and re-downloaded 3 times -- no change. Can anyone help??? ~ Brian.

Thanks for your reply. I have actually just solved the problem.
Start the Creative Cloud download program again, click the gear icon in top right corner, choose Preferences, click the blue Sign Out icon. Then input your User Name and Password again to log back in. Click on the “Lightroom CC 2015” app in your list. Lightroom will start properly and you can select your catalogue. Hope this helps. ~ Brian.

LIGHTROOM INSTALL FAILS. Data Image Corrupted. All Adobe fail. MAC

I am trying to install Lightroom 5.6 trial on my MacBook Pro Early 2011 running Mavericks 9, latest.
Actually any Adobe installer is failing that i try. I tried the Illustrator one to see if it was Lightroom only error, it' isn't.
I have used the SAME DMG file as my friend did with no problems whatsoever on her Imac, same version of Mavericks.
I have turned off disk image checking in Disk Utiliites.
This allows installer to extract, mount and begin installation before it fails with another error.
I have gone through removing anything and everything Adobe, Creative Cloud etc as per the Adobe guidelines.
Even went as far as 'reinstalling' Mavericks, although this was through recovery so as far as i know isn't a full and total erase and start again as it keeps all personal data etc.
Stumped. Someone else must have had the sane problem and/or an answer !

Cofl if you Mac does not meet the system requirements listed at System requirements | Lightroom then that would prevent installation. It should not affect mounting the DMG successfully.
If you are running Mac OS 10.9 then it is likely you have a Mac with a 64-bit processor. If you have worked around this requirement for your OS to allow Mac OS 10.9 to be installed then behavior in general may be unexpected.
If you can mount the DMG file on another Mac you could try copying the content of the DMG to a USB drive. Have you verified that you problems with no other DMG files?
As for your last suggestion. If you are facing difficulties with multiple DMG files in multiple User accounts then it may be a good idea to back up your documents and settings and reinstall the operating system. This is after you have confirmed that the DMG files themselves are not corrupted.

Lightroom 1.4.1 Windows update will not install

I have made numerous attempts to install the Lightroom 1.4.1 update filename LTRM_WWEFG_WIN_1_4_1.exe on my computer running Lightroom 1.3.1 under Windows XP SP2. All appears to go well until a window pops up instructing me to insert the disc with Adobe_Lightroom.msi on it as it cannot be found.
Earlier in the process, the progress indicator shows this file being extracted and in any case, I am not installing from disc but from the downloaded updater. I did try inserting my original version 1 CD-ROM, but the .msi file on that is rejected as invalid.
A thorough search of the hard disc at each attempt shows Adobe_lightroom.msi under c:\documents and settings\user\temp, but pointing the installer there produces a similar error message that the file is invalid for this product!
What do I try next? I had no trouble on previous upgrades (I bypassed 1.4), so why should this one keep failing? The Adobe error messages and prompts are less than helpful to say the least. I thought this update was supposed to have sorted out the version 1.4 fiasco!

>Windows Cleanup seems to have done the trick, though before trying it I actually managed to install LR 2.0 beta with no problems. Anyway, since it's a windows system, anything can happen -- and frequently does!
But that is what happens; you may get an error trying to install one particular application while all others work perfectly well. The cleanup utility fixes the problems for that particular application and saves you doing registry edits etc.
>I have install issue saying I dont have the right Window Installer error when I install 1.4.1 update too.
If you do not have the "right Window Installer" you may need to download the latest version from Microsoft. You can find the revision of your current windows installer by looking of properties of Msiexec located in c:\windows\system32. My version is 3.1.4000.1823.
This is the link to the download:

Also, make sure that your Windows is up-to-date.

Installing lightroom 3.6 on a mac...help please

I can not find the actual download. I seen it in my downloads but it just keeps installing but never actually opens. I had this issue with the trial too. I am so annoyed right now you have no idea!!!

Hi,
Are you able to view Lightroom in your applications list?
What happens when you click on it and try to open the application?
After downloading, do you remember seeing the installation screen asking you for the serial number number and confirming that installation has been successful.
Thanks

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.

Installing Lightroom 4 as an upgrade to Lightroom 3

I just upgraded Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 4 and chose to install it with the Lightroom 3 catalog.
However, only a fraction of the Lightroom 3 catalog actually got installed. Any ideas as to
how to get the full Lightroom 3 catalog into Lightroom 4?

A little more info please.
Do you have more than one Catalog in LR 3?
If there was only one catalog LR 4 would have made a prompt to convert the catalog and if the install went as normal a copy of the full catalog would have created for version 4.

Installing Lightroom 6 actually installed Lightroom CC
