Keep having this happen when installing a package created with the Admin Console. The install COMPLETES SUCCESSFULLY and everything is installed but then it uninstalls itself because it thinks it failed. Below is the relevant section of the PDApp log showing it receiving a windows code 3010 (success but reboot required to complete) and then immediately uninstalling everything. This is happening on brand new installs of Windows 10 (20H2) and other applications install without issue (exe and msi). The full PDApp log is attatched.

Hi,

 

the install.log from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers might shed some more light on this, otherwise I would suggest uninstalling any remaining Adobe applications and running our cleaner tool from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

This could just be a permissions issue from a previous installation, for example. Were other Adobe applications installed on this system beforehand? Which Windows versions is running?

thanks

Dom

Hi Dom,

 

Thanks for your fast response. As I mentioned in my original post, this is on a brand new install of Windows with nothing else installed on it before installing Adobe. I've attached the install log from ```C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers``` but I don't see anything obvious in there either but I'm not able to dig through it right now.

I suggest recreating the package on the Admin Console, and downloading and unzipping it locally as opposed to on a network server to rule out the possibility it's being corrupted somewhere in-between. If the problem persists, please create a package with just the Creative Cloud Desktop application or just one application (Photoshop, for example) to further narrow the issue down.
