Error Code 146 - Unable to Update Creative Cloud

Question

I am unable to update the Creative Cloud Desktop app itself. Can anyone help? I've set the permissions but the error is still happening. In case it matters, the file in adobeTemp doesn't exist.

FATAL: Error (Code = 146) executing in command 'MoveFileCommand' for package: 'CCXProcess-Components', version:4.5.0.27
FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: CCXProcess-Components Version: 4.5.0.27). Error code: '146'

Try setting correct permissions to the specified file/folder or parent folder, so that admin has rights to modify it.

I'm not sure what happened exactly, but I renamed the vulcan folder and then got Error Code 506 instead. I then did the recommended regedit solution for that and everything updated and reinstalled correctly.

Luis, you can find additional steps to resolve Error 146 at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/Error_Code_146.html. The error's root cause is that the installer is being denied permission to write the required files to the hard drive.
