    Hi Kafloyd71,

    Please follow the below steps and try again :

    Mac -

    1- Turn OFF any security software installed along with system Firewall.

    2- Please check if you have any browser security extensions installed, please disable them. ( Eg: AD BLOCK, Mcafee site/web adviser, internet security toolbar etc )

    3- Go to : Apple Icon > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > " Allow apps downloaded from " change this to ANYWHERE ( To make these changes click on the Padlock in the left bottom corner of this window and enter your computer password )

    ****These changes are temporary you can revert these changes back to normal once your Creative Cloud app is up and running ****

    Win -

    1- Turn OFF any security software installed along with system Firewall.

    2- Please check if you have any browser security extensions installed, please disable them. ( Eg: AD BLOCK, Mcafee site/web adviser, internet security toolbar etc )

    If it still fails, kinldy follow the cleanup steps to remove Creative Cloud manually from your machine, mentioned below :

    MAC:

    1- Force Quit the below processes in the same sequence as mentioned below from Activity Monitor: see, Use Activity Monitor on your Mac - Apple Support

    • Creative Cloud
    • Core sync & Core sync Helper
    • CC library & CCX processes
    • Adobe Desktop Common
    • Adobe Update daemon
    • Adobe IPC Broker
    • After this anything that says adobe on it do a force quit for it

    2- Go To: Finder > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installer > Uninstall Adobe Creative cloud ( if having trouble uninstalling it Trash it )

    3- Go To: Finder > Applications > Utilities > ( Delete these two folders - Adobe creative cloud and Adobe Application Manager )

    4- Then run the cleaner tool to remove creative cloud and Adobe Application Manager ( if still left in machine )

    5- Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.

    6- You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.( " Do not miss ~ symbol " )

    ~/library ( It will open User Library folder. )

    7- Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe> trash OOBE folder and AAM Updater folder as well

    8- Again > Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.> You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.

    /library ( It will open System Library folder.)

    9- Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe> trash OOBE folder and Adobe Application Manager / after this rename the file SL-STORE as SL-STORE_OLD

    10- Run Adobe Cleaner tool. > If present, Select the option "Adobe Application Manager for Mac OS X 10.6" and then click on "Clean up Selected" .

    Setup.zip file downloads

    I click on Adobe Patch Installer... it tells me to extract all files first... I tell it to extract all and once it finishes I click on Adobe Patch Installer and nothing happens

    While extracting the zip file, make sure you have "show extracted files when complete" checked so that it opens the correct folder with contents of the folder from which you can run the exe file to install.
