Illustrator and Dreamweaver both failed today, error 145. Windows 10. 3 other apps updated no problem. Unable to delete the directories listed under more info in spite of running Explorer under admin rights.

    A complete restart is always the first you should try when installs are posing problems.

    Error 145 occurs when the app is unable to rewrite or replace files durring installation.

    Which Anti-virus/Firewall are you using?

    I shut down completely. Upon restart, Illustrator updated successfully. The failed Dreamweaver update had disappeared entirely. I had to search for the app to install it as it wasn't suggested. But it did install successfully.
