I've tried to use Creative Cloud to update bridge. I get the error below. I downloaded the dmg file and it gets the same error. The suggestions on the Error 146 Troubleshooting page do not work. What do I do?

    Of course I can't guarantee it will work for you but the problem seems to come from the new version not having permission to replace the old version so removing the old takes away that block (my theory).

    All I can say is it was ok for me. One extra bit of info is it asks if you want to keep the setting and when I did it I choose 'no'.

    Yes, I wish adobe and apple would work on stability instead of adding new features!

    This is the solution my IT guy found that worked for me.

    Now I'm having the same problem, Error 146 with Premiere CC + Media Encoder CC with the latest updates. I'm not using Premiere much so I'm going to deal with this when I have more time. On a Bridge related issue (Version 8.0.1.282) sometimes when I close the application, I get a message saying "... Some file is missing" I can't remember the exact message or the name of the file it refers to as it doesn't always pop up. Once I click OK, then I'm able to quit Bridge. Strange…

    After try many different things I found a new way to get Bridge to install...

    on Mac...

    Close the adobe Creative Cloud App

    Open the Applications folder, then 'Adobe Bridge CC 2018' and Run the uninstallation. This re-opens the Creative Cloud app

    Then I used this link from above:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-c loud/kb/creative-cloud-app…

    to install bridge again from a .dmg...

    Then updating with the Creative cloud app worked.

    Thanks for that...but what happen when I can't re-install Bridge after the uninstallation...I will be completely blocked and could not work anymore...

    What a shame the Adobe does not fix that !!!

    I had the same error. I downloaded Bridge directly from here, Download Creative Cloud apps​. Installed using the .dmg. Checked Adobe Application Manager and it still showed an update for Bridge. I clicked install and it worked. Bridge is updated and I no longer see the update for Bridge in Adobe Application Manager.

    Thanks! This method worked for me. Update also worked. I have a MacBook Pro Touch Bar with High Sierra installed.

    Same exact problem. I uninstalled the Bridge, thinking I can reinstall it again. And didn't keep any of the preferences. Now I can't even install the Bridge, I keep getting the same error.

    Axel: None of those suggestions worked. I tried them before I sent the note above and I just tried them again. I am on a MAC. The file in question is "/System/Library/Components/PDFImporter.component/Adobe Bridge CC 2018". The MAC finder will not allow me to change permissions. When I try, I get the error "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission." even though I am the only user and the administrator. That's why I do not know what to do.
