Adobe PCD folder and SLStore folders,

Adobe PCD is located at

C:\Users\userprofile\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

SLStore is located at

C:\ProgramData\Adobe

These are hidden files. Use Cortana and type folder options and make hidden and operating system files visible

I just got mine and ran into this problem, I am using Windows 10 and the fix was going into folder "Programs" right click on the app, Compatibility (tab), and click "Run this program as administrator."

This fixed LR classic and LR cc for me.

Hope that works for you.

I know this is old but miught aswell just incase someone else needs the help, I was having the same issue, turns out, i just have to go to the folder inside my program files, and rigth click and run the application as administrator, and that seemed to have resolved the issue for me.

Andy which operating system are you using?  It sounds like you may have hidden files turned on which could be preventing you from locating the proper directory.

Jeff:

Sorry, I should have known to include that information. I'm on Mac Mountain Lion... and if this is any help, I do beta test most of the Adobe apps.

I did a terminal procedure

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true

killall Finder

And then checked the proper folder in the library: Library>Application Support>Adobe, and still do not see either of the folders.
