I keep retrying but it keeps failing. Says it cannot extract the file.

What can I do to fix that?

Correct answer Romsinha-9KMEUt

I'm getting the same error (for Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator) but turning off my virus protection did not help.

Hi DaniLew,

Please enable hidden admin account and try updating from there.

Here's the latest error.....I tried going through the Photoshop Help menu: \\

Adobe Photoshop 14.2

There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210

It downloaded 100% but couldn't install.

Using the Creative Cloud app, I get this error message:

Update Failed

Unable to extract the downloaded files. Press Retry to download again.

I finally got it. I turned off my virus protection program. I don't know if that was really the problem, but at least it updated.
