Help! I cannot install any apps to creative cloud with install button (Windows 10)

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud, I logged in, and finally, when I attempted to install Photoshop, nothing happens.

I have been clicking the Photoshop Installation Setup file for hours, the Creative Cloud app jitters a bit, I get a loading circle on my cursor, and nothing happens.

I reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, logged in again, attempted to install Photoshop, the same nothing happens.

Correct answer kglad

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>

if that fails, you probably have a corrupt user account. google your os and how to create a new one.

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to the Download & Install forum.

 

 

Try these steps from Adobe Help and let us know if you need more assistance:

I clicked, "Photoshop on desktop", Adobe Creative Cloud opened and then it didn't download anything.

I opened Photoshop on web, I looked for the button, "Get desktop app", clicked that, it led me to the adobe photoshop app detail screen with the, "Install", button. I clicked "Install", Adobe Creative Cloud opened, and then nothing happened.
