Hi Puddathere,

For Error Code 146, Adobe suggests renaming the file and trying the update again: Troubleshoot Illustrator CC 2015 log files.


In case it's a permissions issue, you might also try installing the update under the root user in OS X Enabling and using the "root" user in OS X - Apple Support‌ or a new user account with admin privileges Install or run Adobe applications in new user account | Mac OS X.

If neither of these suggestions resolves your issue and you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, I suggest that you Contact Customer Care, since technical troubleshooting may be required.

Best,

Del

Friends:

I have found that the problem resolution is quite simple and works every time.

If your security software (I use Avast) has the "file system shield" located in  "Active Protection" turned on, you will get this error.  Turn it off temporarily, and the update will complete successfully.  Restore the active protection when all updates are complete.

I don't understand why Adobe does not indicate this as a solution rather than asking the user to rename the file, which probably wouldn't work anyway.

I hope my painful experience will minimize yours.

Hi,

nevertheless the upgrade process failed by 35%, Photoshop CS had been completed - the message was, that the old version couldn't be removed and so it is. Now I have two versions on the PC, both working. Astonishing, cause the process failed...

Had the same problem when updating PS CC. It became solved when i uninstalled a CS6.0 app i had (Encore)

Look like CC doesn't play well with older CS versions
