Creative Cloud not updating

Creative Cloud desktop on my PC tells me there is an update, and also one for Camera Raw. When I select "Update", nothing happens, and then I get a message saying:

"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ElevationManager\Adobe Installer.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

Does anyone know what is causing this?

Thanks

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

Thanks.

I've done a reset, and tried updating again, but the same error message keeps coming up.
