Updating InDesign "Please close the following applications to continue"

Hi! I’m trying to update InDesign through my Creative Cloud connection, but I get the following error message:
InDesign CC Update
Please close the following applications to continue:
- InDesign (Adobe InDesign CC)
Below this message are the buttons “Cancel” and “Retry”. Even though my copy of InDesign is not running, I still get this message when I click on the Retry button, and it continues to appear each time I select Retry. Clicking on Cancel has the same result: the error message will continue to appear!
Is there anything I can do to remove this message and update InDesign? On my CC Updater window, all my applications are show as being up to date, except for InDesign, which is show as “canceling”.
Thanks in advance,
Colin Hartridge

Adobe Photoshop CC "Please Close The Following Application "

I seem too be having a problem installing Adobe Photoshop CC , everything was working great in the beginning , but as soon as I began installing it I had a message display saying "Please Close The Following Application " Which in this case is Adobe Illustrator. I already have it closed , even in task manager , I can't see the Illustrator.exe. Is there a work around this?

Often something will be held in memory and mess things up. For a long time Sonic DVD recorder would leave something going on with my work computer to the point that it would not fully log me off. Can't tell you how many security violations I got before I learned to completely shut down the computer each day.

Please Close The Following Program to Continue "CORE"

Trying to dwonlaod Flash Player 11.4 for Windows 7 and continue to get an error. Please close the following program to continue "Core". I have no idea what "core" is?
Please Help

To continue with the installation, you shouldn't have any application that uses Flash Player opened. Go to Task Manager (by pressing Control + Alt + Delete keys together and selecting Task Manager) and see if you have any application that uses Flash Player.
Also, just try the following:
1. Please download Flash Player from the following link. http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header
2. Restart the machine.
3. Double-click the downloaded file.
Thanks,

To continue the installation you must first Quit iTunes.
