Lightroom CC 2015 won't launch.

I've installed and uninstalled Lightroom CC 2015 three times. However, so far I can't get it to launch.

Can't get it to launch, either on a MacBookPro running 10.10.3. (Works fine on my MacPro with 10.10.3, been using it all afternoon.) MacBookPro has been rebooted.
I briefly get the splash screen for LR CC, but it crashes immediately. Tried to relaunch repeatedly, but same issue.
UPDATE: Got it working by signing out of CC app and signing in again. Then LR started working.
To sign out, go to the CC app preferences to find the signout button.

Lightroom 1.1 won't launch upon registration

Hi everyone,
My name is Janyne and I was hoping someone here could help me with a problem I am running into with Lightroom 1.1 on a mac G4 osx 10.5.8. I have installed this old version of lightroom because my computer doesn't have intel and i needed the older version in order for it to work on my very old computer.
I installed Lightroom and it won't launch after the registration page. I put in all my information and serial number and it gives me a green check then i click finish and nothing happens. No highlightable options in my menu bar either.
I have tried the newer lightroom versions on trials but i decided to go with this old 1.1 to ensure that my computer was capable of running it well.
Any one have any technical support they could offer me on this ? I have some photos already in a library somewhere in my computer but i wouldn't know where to look to find it or any other lightroom files that could be getting in the way of my program launching.
This sucks, Please help.
Thank you,
Janyne

You need to reinstall iPhoto as it's missing bits of itself.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Lightroom CC 2015 won't open. Splash screen shows briefly then closes. No error msg.

After downloading Lightroom CC 2015 the program won't open. I have removed Lightroom 5 and gone through the first three recommended fixes. Do not find the cleaner log file mentioned.

Hi GRJoe,
Please refer the article:
Lightroom doesn't launch or closes automatically after splash screen
Hopefully it will work

Lightroom 5.5 won't launch

updated Lightroom and Photoshop to the latest and greatest today, June 18th. Installation of each went without any incident. Photoshop CC2014 works fine. LR 5.5 won't launch either by double clicking on desktop, from the programs folder or running as administrator. Have logged out of Creative Cloud and back in with no luck.
LR won't run on either laptop or desktop. If i try double clicking on the catalog itself, nothing happens either.
Ideas please.

***** FIXED IT *******
So it looks like if you update LR via the CC menu bar it causes this issue!
I had to downgraded to 5.4. Once I started 5.4 a window came up asking me to Update (I figured I'd give it one more go) Downloaded 5.5 from this link Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5
Once installed it worked great! I had the splash screen fail on two Macs and they both work great now! So stay away from the CC update windows!!

Lightroom CC (2015) will not launch after install removed and re installed and re boot nothing!

Lightroom CC 2015 was installed today via Creative Cloud but will not open, removed program and re installed still nothing. Did a reboot and still nothing. Creative Cloud says that it is installed.
Windows 7
Thank's for any help!
Kent

Update: the trick is to try it over and over and over again. CC desktop warns it wants me to register my product and complete a profile (bizarre.) But it is updating the catalog now so I presume it will work.
Have same problem. Shows installed; I found "Adobe LIghtroom.app" which was installed today 1.51gb; when I click on it it flashes and then nothing. I restarted the mac, restarted the CC app, nothing. Very frustrating and makes me wonder if the Cloud solved any problems for me.
OSX 10.9.5, 32gb ram

Another Lightroom CC that won't Launch

Bought the Photoshop/Lightroom CC combo. First the installer downlaoded Lightroom 5.7, which worked, but wasn't what I bought. Then the installer downloaded Lightroom CC which crashes immediately at launch with the following error:

Logging out and in doesn't work. Uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't work. Using the Adobe clean install /CCleaner doesn't work.
Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop run fine. Running Windows 7 SP1.

After trying almost everything with no luck I decided to just reinstall Windows and now it works. It's not an ideal solution by any means but I needed to get this to work. Hopefully someone will figure out a less drastic fix.

Lightroom CC 2015 doen't launch

After installing LR CC 2015, I tried to launch it but the splash screen appears for a split second, then disappears and nothing happens. I do have LR 5.7 installed and it does launch correctly on my iMAC.
Any hints?

Quite so. I solved the issue by logging out and NOT quitting, and logging in again.
Thanks for the feedback you guys, have a great day.

Updated lightroom and it won't launch

when i updated lightroom from the creative cloud app the program will not launch

I have the same issue.
I'm on a 27" iMac, with all current updates. It opens fine on my older MacBook Air.
I've tried rebooting, uninstalling, repair permissions, etc all to no avail.

Lightroom CC 2015 won't start after installation

I just downloaded the upgrade for Lr 2015. Everything went well, and a new icon appeared on my desktop.
But, when I click on the icon, nothing happens.

Just for clarification, did you actually go to preferences and click on the sign out button, or did you just click on quit? Clicking on quit will not work. You actually have to sign out. I don't mean to be so elementary, but some have misunderstood this.

After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when i click on the icon.

After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when I click on the icon. A window gets up: "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" not found in DLL "MSVCR110.dll". Same failure occurs when I start Photoshop CC.
LR 5.7.1 Starts without Problem.

Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Since the program crashed yesterday it won't launch, it comes up with the message "Lightroom encountered an error when reading its preview cache and needs to quit". " Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem next time it launches". Except that it doesn't, I keep getting the same message and the program closes. Does anyone know what I can do to repair it? Can't back up, can't do anything.

There are dozens of threads in this forum that describe the fix

Lightroom 2 won't launch after install

After installing onto an XP 32-bit machine that already had Lightroom 2 Beta running, Lightroom 2 now refuses to launch. It is an upgrade version loaded from disc but has killed off all the other versions, too.
I have un-installed and re-installed repeatedly - rebooting every time - to no avail. Even a new install of Lightroom 1 won't launch - which makes me wonder if there is a rogue file from the Beta version that needs a serious talking to.
The computer shows the application as correctly installed but it simply won't launch.
What to do?

Thanks Lee
Version 2 and Beta preference files no longer exist after uninstalling and V1.0 still refuses to launch even after removing its preferences.
Could there be something in the registry that needs a kick?

My lightroom just updated to CC from lightroom 5 and now it won't launch - ideas? I have tried reinstalling, restarting. No go.

I have tried re-installing and restarting my computer - and am in lineup for customer care - but it won't launch at all.

first, sign out and then back in to your cc app and retry updating, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
if that fails, close your cc app and then reopen and retry updating.
if that fails, restart your computer, sign out and then back in and update.
if that fails,
Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
Mac OS: You can locate the OPM.db file in the \User\<user name>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE folder. To access the hidden user Library folder, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
Windows: You can locate the OPM.db file in the \Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder. To view the hidden AppData folder, see Show hidden files, folders, filename extensions | Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7.

Please help lightroom 5 won't launch with my mac 10.6.8 what

ANY Suggestions It won't launch it say's I need 10.7 however, my other programs are working fine with 10.6.8

Thank you. It would have been lovely if they let us know (Important Notice that the New LR5 is compatible only with MAC LION 10.7 and newer Mac versions of operating systems and older, not previous Mac operating systems versions) on the main page before purchasing LR5. I've never had a LR product that didn't work with the old operating system, and I've owned all of them. I think I just trusted Adobe would continue on with the same process . So basically, we'd have to upgrade our operating system and risk the change of now having a situation with all of our current programs that work perfectly with LR5.
Is it possible that Adobe could make sure that they inform trusting customers like us, similar to when trying to market their new products campaigns, they tell us how fabulous the upcoming product are in a variety of ways.... luring us in... You know most of us are Artists.
Just make sure you make it known other than looking at the tech spec page... say like on the page where the shopping cart option is? Epson's printer wouldn't calibrate with the Adobe PS4 a few years ago. It took us months to figure out that, it had nothing to do with our calibration process. Finally....after speaking to Epson, they walked us through varies steps etc... hundreds of dollars later, we were able to get a good print, it turns out the Adobe 4 software was not compatible at that time with the new Epson software. So here we go again...
Be good to us Adobe...this was a bit out of your norm. Thanks
