After Effects CC Update freezes

I've been able to update all of my CC apps whenever updates have been released, with the exception of After Effects on the most recent update, which hangs at 55%, then pops up a dialog asking me to close my "AdobeCrashDaemon" app to continue. I don't see that app as up and running, so how can I close it?  Or bypass this dead end to update the app? Retry gets the same result, cancel just spits me out.

restart your computer and, before doing anything else, update.

or open your running processes and terminate the crash daemon.

I had tried the restart route only to get the same freeze, but opening the Activity Monitor

and killing the CrashDaemon activity allowed it to go through, thank you!
