All Adobe CC apps can be updated on my machine without problem only Photoshop install keeps complaining with error 120. I have ample free space but the temp folder is on a ramdisk. As said this is ok for all Adobe CC apps but somehome PS does something different apparently. Where can I find the minimum amount of free space for PS install/update?

I've found out.

After rebooting the ramdisk was emptied and during install of Photoshop I realized it needs excactly 1.38GByte of space. As the empty ramdisk on my laptop is 1.5GB it neatly fitted the required space. 

 

Thanks all for lending a few braincells to my question. But I (and you) have the answer.

during the install did ps list the amount of space needed?

 

if not, how did you "..realize it needs..." 1.38gb?

This was the amount of space used on a before empty device. Trust me.
