"Unable to sync. Install sync component and try again. Error Code 304"
While importing a very large photo library into Lightroom, LR popped a window which forced me to update CC (which was already up to date).
Immediately sync stopped working and CC began complaining about updates available (it was already set to auto-update) and LR crashed.
Nothing I could do would bring it back to life, so, per the 304 error code (corrupted install), I uninstalled the entire CC suite, then reinstalled CC to no effect.
Uninstalled CC again, ran the cleaner, remove all, manually deleted all the leftover junk in the App and Common Files folders, then did it all again.
I've gone through this probably 15 times now, and even stripped all Adobe references from the windows registry after one cleaning.
Sync never starts because CoreSync never gets installed for some reason - no CoreSync folder, no exe. Obviously, the 'pause sync' button does nothing.
Also, unable to install ANY other apps, nor set the sync folder location (currently empty - attempting to set it causes CC to crash)
