I have nothing special running on my machine nor any customized policies. I only have a junction map for the C:\Users to D:\Users. I don't even have any AV software or Anti-Malware software running on the machine (gasp!) so nothing should be interfering with the file copies, renames or moves. Problem is this issue is inconsistent and only manifested itself with the application installs I listed. Other updates released yesterday for some apps worked fine. InDesign CC for example updated just fine without any issues. In addition to that, previous installs and updates never had any trouble and nothing on the system has been changed since then to make anything more restrictive. In fact the junction was in place back then as well, I set that up when I last wiped the machine about a year ago. This is the first time since CC first came out (installers were buggy as hell back then as well) that I've had a problem. ... View more

I can only see this as an installer issue, not a workstation issue. The old 2015 versions installed without any hassle or problem. If its permissions, the permissions for those areas are unchanged from when I ran the old installations so not sure why now it would be a problem. Running as "Administrator" though should have solved it if it were that since Admin typically has end-all be-all permissions on the machine. The failure seems to happen in the last stages of installation (75%) as when any successful installation hits 80% it starts removing the old version so its definitely something in the post install section. Meh....release day consumer UAT I suppose...(FIX IT IN PRODUCTION!) Anyhow... Workaround for me (albeit a slightly ghetto solution) to get the installs to work finally was creating the following folders manually and re-running the installation. Once I did this, each of the installs completed without issue and the apps fired up without issue as well. Your experience may vary of course. If I cared more and this hadn't worked, I'd have done a close monitor of the install behavior to try and pinpoint the actual hangup but this sufficed and Adobe doesn't pay me to debug their software. If it weren't obvious by now, yes I work in IT. One might ask why I didn't do all this initially before posting here, simply answered, I try not to do work when I'm at home and I pay Adobe for this stuff to "just work" as most users would say. If this solution does work for you, please save your thanks, just send money 😃 Folders in bold were new. <usersdirectory> = The location of your "Users" folder, usually C:\Users, for some of us though, elsewhere. <username> = Your Windows username folder.

Going to clarify again, I am NOT running any AV or Malware solution that would be interfering with file copies or moves. As with wdoertell​, my C:\Users directory is mapped to another drive with a hardlink junction in NTFS to D:\Users ... View more
