Hello everyone, I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 and Im trying to install creative cloud desktop app. I keep getting an error code 4 when installing. Ive tried using the cleanup tool, restarted my computer afterwards. Turned off my firewall. I went to my system preferences and turned on to allow apps to be downloaded anywhere. I don't use the same download file incase its corrupted. I throw it in the trash can and empty it. I went to my utility folder and delete any adobe folders remaining and do the same.  I cant find what an error code 4 means when I google it. Im at my wits end. What are my options?
