I have two Win10 machines, when I tried installing creative cloud desktop on one of them, it fails... At the same time it works fine on the other.

I downloaded the CreativeCloudSet-Up, start it, it starts downloading files and when the progress bar reaches 50%, it stops working:

is there a log I can browse to ind out what's wrong? Is it a common issue?

I got some time to follow up on my case with support.

Steps taken to get rid of the issue:

1. I was asked to download and install ApplicationManager application, instead of Creative Cloud. (http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cc/win/ApplicationManager9.0_all.exe) this didnt work though.

2. Total cleanup of Adobe folders and apps (I removed Adobe Reader earlier, and I didnt have anything else Adobe* so in my case it was easy, not sure how it will impact other Adobe apps if you have any)

a. %programdata%\adobe

b. program files x86 \ common files \ adobe

c. program files \ common files \ adobe

3. we used some magic cleanup tool AdibeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe (http://download.macromedia.com/SupportTools/Cleaner/win/AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe)

4. installed Application Manager (installation finishes with no confirmation of any kind), then just run Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app... it worked, I loged on and got my apps downloaded after that...

These cleanup steps took around 10 minutes to complete.

At any point I didnt have to reboot my machine...

thank you technical support!

This link does not answer the question...

Really - all I need is to know where is that app gathering logs and how can I access them - I will look myself... plz do not link articles that have common keywords but do not talk about the problem reported
