Lydiak83121963 were you receiving this error or a different error for the past week?  We just released Photoshop CC 2015.5 today.

The error above indicates that the installer is unable to write to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.5.  I would recommend temporarily disabling any anti-virus or security software which may be preventing the installer from moving files from the temporary directory to this location.

Thank you for the clarification Lydiak83121963.  Perhaps you were receiving similar errors earlier this week?

If temporarily disabling your anti-virus or security software is not resolving the error then you will want to adjust the permissions for C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.5.  You can find steps to update the file permissions at Error exit code 6, exit code 7 installing Adobe Creative Cloud .  You are welcome to update this discussion if you have any questions regarding the steps listed.
