I am encountering this error when trying to update Adobe Illustrator via creative cloud. I've tried to uninstall Illustrator and that too results in an error as shown below.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
reset the cc desktop app: make sure it's in the foreground, then press:
Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
if that fails, try to repair

if that fails go ahead and uninstall using the correct uninstaller from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-messaging and then reinstall
if that fails, do a clean cc install following each applicable step:
