Missing the Adobe PCD folder

I am getting configuration error 16, and the solution is to change permissions on the Adobe PCD folder... however, I don't have that folder.
And before you ask, I also missing the SLStore folder...

I am having the exact same issue and the proposed solution is not helpful to me. This must be a common issue for people so I am shocked that given it has been a year since this question was posted that the tips for dealing with a code 16 on mac os hasn't been updated. I was using photoshop cs5 yesterday on my imac running os mavericks and now I can't access it. Error code 16, I check the adobe folder in app support, no PCD or SLStore folder. I ran the show hidden files function in terminal (yes, I changed the case of the f because I'm in mavericks). Nothing has been changed on the computer since yesterday and yet this has cropped up. I do not want to run it as root nor do I want to make a new user area. I checked the photoshop folder and its permissions were weird - read only for non-admin, so I changed that. It didn't help. There must be a solution to this at this point. I can't contact live support since I'm not on current version, and the only applicable forum post appears to be this one.
Please help this is a massive issue!

  • Adobe PCD folder permissions change after launching CS5 programs

    There is a folder apparently important for Creative Suite
    5 licensing: C:\program files (x86)\common files\adobe\adobe pcd
    Unfortunately the default permissions after installing (either standard install or install from Adobe Enterprise Deployment tools) are:
    Everyone: Read
    Administrators: Full Control
    This presents a problem for using the software if your users are not local administrators.
    If you change the folder permissions to grant access to other users, than launch InDesign and/or Photoshop, the Adobe PCD permissions revert to their original settings.  I have verified that my permissions save fine by closing and reopening the folder permissions.  It's only after a CS5 program is launched that the permissions revert.
    How can I get the permissions to stay?  Until then I have to make people local admins, which is not good if they find out.  They will install all kinds of crapware and crappy legit software and break their computers further.

    Hello Stu,
    We are running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  I don't think running this particular operating system is unique.
    The only other idea I have at the moment, besides having everyone be a local administrator, is to write a script that updates the folder permissions.  The tricky part is figuring out how often the script should run. I'm guessing that the script should run daily but I'm not sure that is frequent enough.  I suppose if the script ran hourly that wouldn't hurt anything.

  • I want to uninstall photoshop CC on my Mac but the "Adobe Installers" folder is completely empty.

    I want to uninstall photoshop CC on my Mac but the "Adobe Installers" folder is completely empty. Is there any other way to uninstall it? Thanks!

    There is an uninstaller in the Adobe Photoshop CC app folder right at the bottom of the list.

  • I tried the free trial version of adobe after effects. When i click the setup button in the adobe cs4 folder, it says you can not finish the installation when adobe media player is running, but i don't have it open i keep trying and the same thing happens

    What do i do

    Actually I simply would uninstall anything related to Adobe AIR, including AMP or the Acrobat.com widget. If you just uninstall AMP, one of ther others is going to bite you in your behind. It's a flwa in the installer that does not correctly detect and handle outdated versions of Adobe AIR.

  • How do i create a photoshop cc icon on my deskstop or in the Adobe Cloud folder?

    I am just getting started and not even sure how to open Photoshop cc but once i do, how do can i put an icon on my desktop to make this an easier operation?
    Thanks!

    Since you don't mention your platform, and my NSA "reach through the forum" monitoring application is off for the evening, I'll assume Windows x64.
    Make your shortcut Target the following:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe

  • I'm trying to export an action I made in Photoshop CC (not CC 2014).  The "save" command is greyed out and there's no export command.  The action I made in CC isn't under the Adobe presets folder for CC.  What am I doing wrong?

    I'd like to use the action I created in CC in CC 2014.  I'm using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. Thanks.

    Thanks!  That worked.

  • Files in Adobe support folder missing?

    I've suddenly had a message appear when I open Photoshop CS6 saying "one or more files in the Adobe support folder, necessary for running Photoshop are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop".  When I press o.k. button I can continue to use Photoshop mostly without issue.  This message only comes up on initial opening the application.  Any ideas?

    All solved!!
    There was a file missing in my Scripting Editions Library folder.  I just copied from a previous back up and pasted in current library and message has now gone when I open up Photoshop.

  • Missing Adobe PCD and SLstore folders for Adobe Illustrator in Win7

    I can't open my Adobe Illustrator and it says: Error 16.
    Configuration-error. I only find the SLstore folders for Adobe PS,
    but not for Illustrator CS6 ( 64bit). And the Adobe PCD is not there at all.
    My system: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
    I read somewere that you can also place a slstore folder in the right location.
    Is that true?
    Please help. Regards,

    Benjamin1964 the SLCache and SLStore folders should be able to create themselves.  Error 16 indicates there is a file permission error preventing the creation of the folders.  You can find more details on how to correct this at Configuration error 16 | CC, CS.

  • ALL LUT's, looks, et al should be in the "common files" folder!

    Something that gets posted here and the other related forums several times a week it seems is the problem of applying a look or LUT in Speedgrade or some specialized effect based on presets or add-ons in AfterEffects that looks great. BUT ... when you get back to PPro, it's not visible.
    Almost always the answer is that the look, LUT, preset or whatever that was "invoked" in Ae or Sg needs to be copied over to the proper PrPro folder for such things. Sometimes you need the dang thing put in all THREE locations, PrPro, Sg, & Ae.
    WHY? Not to be rude, but isn't that what the Adobe "common folder" should be used for? Especially in the day of the dynamic/direct link projects, it's a pita to have to go find the blame thing and copy about the hard-drive. Wastes time and disk-space and creates totally needless clutter.
    I've put in a feature request for this, y'all are welcome to jump in ...

    All files and folders in the iPhoto library are essential - there are no user servicable parts in it - the really simple rule is NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto lbibrary
    And note that most people have found that Carbonite does not backup the iPhoto library so tha tit can be restored and used - I believe that one person has posted that they were successful and many have been unsuccessful
    Then the bottom line it that the iPhoto library must be always treated a single entity - it is a SQLite database and can not be manged in pieces

    Which OS are you seeing this on and which previous versions, if any, did you have installed.

    To try this you may want to take a backup instead of deleting the Adobe Help folder.

  • One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder...

    Upon opening Photoshop CS5 I have the following message displayed on the screen. I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop but it did not make a difference., the message keeps showing up. It is getting annoying and I have no idea which files are missing. Anyone know how to fix this? I am copying the message here:
    One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.

    It's not a systemic problem, no.  Photoshop CS5 can certainly run without an error message.
    Was it working without the error message on your system at one time?
    Have you made any changes to the files supplied as part of Photoshop?
    An uninstall (possibly via the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool) followed by a reinstall will probably get you working again.

I reinstalled the manager but I am still unable to launch any of my programs from adobe. I tried to do a trail with a program and I am still getting the same message.

    Davinci thank you for the update.
    Please utilize any available uninstallers that are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once all of the available uninstallers have been run you will then want to rerun the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find directions on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  After the CC Cleaner Tool is run then please reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.
    The CC Cleaner Tool is designed to be used after running the uninstallers.  Without running the uninstallers first then a complete removal may not be possible.
