Question

Adobe CC 2023 stuck when installing

Hi! Just bought my Lightroom + 1TB plan and when i was trying to install it, the installer froze in a blank window and never installed anything. 

Tried running the Tool to repair or uninstall but it always said it was done with errors. Tried disabling WIndows Defender but nothing worked.
What should i do?
Running Windows 10 on PC.

Does your computer meet the minimum requirements?

Do you have enough free hard drive space?

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

If NVIDIA graphics, make sure to use the latest Studio Driver from NVIDIA (NOT the Game Driver).

Which Windows? Creative Cloud apps work on:

  • Windows 11 (64-bit), Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2, 21H1.

 

Did you try running installer in Administrative mode?

assuming nothing adobe cc is installed on your computer:

 


clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

if windows is your os, repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired (use google if you don't know how to do this)

if windows is your os update your ms visual c++, if it can be updated (use google if you don't know how to do this)

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app using the "alternative download links" at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

NOTE: win 11 users that have trouble with the latest win 10 installer often have success with the older win 10 installer.
