Adobe Creative Cloud, missing or damaged [branched]

I am having a similar problem. I get the message, "Adobe Creative Cloud, needed to resolve the problem, is missing or damaged." it suggests trying a repair option which does not work, then it says to download and reinstall at http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp. The download and install failed twice; so did http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager. Apparently, all my Adobe files that allow a connection with the cloud are wiped out and they won't reinstall. I updated my OS and checked for viruses, restarted, etc. It is the weekend, so there is no support and I am paying for a subscription I can't use.
