Error 202 When updating Creative Cloud

This worked for me as well.  Logged into a Local Administrator profile, installed Adobe CC (I had already uninstalled and tried to reinstall) but this time it went right through.  Logged out.  Back into the normal profile & CC was behaving correctly.

I had the same problem (202) when trying to update Creative Cloud or even trying to reinstall it.

Contacted Adobe Support with the in-app help feature. They responded quickly. After a few suggestions (which I'd already tried) they requested control of the computer, which I granted. After a while it got escalated to backend support.

Long story short: In the end it was a problem with the local Windows profile.

I simply created a new Windows User profile, and everything worked again.

were you able to solve your problem? i have the same error

if @Manan Joshi's link fails to help:

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R


if that fails, repair per https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-install-stuck.html


if that fails, uninstall using the correct uninstaller from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-messaging and then reinstall using*


if that fails, do a clean cc install carefully following each applicable step:

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, again using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-messaging

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

if windows is your os, repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired (use google if you don't know how to do this)

if windows is your os update your ms visual c++, if it can be updated (use google if you don't know how to do this)

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app using the "alternative download links" at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

NOTE: win 11 users that have trouble with the latest win 10 installer often have success with the older win 10 installer.

See the following discussion, it has some ideas given by an Adobe employee so worth a try
