Not sure this is a bug, but I have been unable to update to LrC 14.0.1. I keep getting the following error message:

Exit Code: 146
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
 - 2 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 1 warnings(s) 

FATAL: Error (Code = 146) executing in command 'MoveFileCommand' for package: 'AdobeLightroom-mul', version:14.0.1.202410161356

Try setting correct permissions to the specified file/folder or parent folder, so that admin has rights to modify it.

I looked at the /System/Volumes directory and there is no Data directory yet, so I'm assuming Adobe was trying to create the directory.  
I'm not sure how to resolve this other than to change the permissions on the Volumes directory to "Read and write" for "everybody". That makes 
me a little uncomfortable. I've tried updating several times, tried rebooting the machine, and tried turning off
FileVault—none of those helped.  I've done some searching online and I haven't found anyone else reporting a similar problem.
 Any suggestions? If I remember correctly, I've updated my MacOs to Sonoma since I last updated LrC. Don't 
know if that would make a difference. I updated Bridge and Photoshop with no problems today. Bridge
is working OK; haven't opened PS yet.


 

Correct answer bradmacpro@aol.com

Rename your Lightroom Classic.app as Lightroom Classic old.app and it should work. The permissions got messed up with the application folder, so you will need your account password to allow the change, but the installer should work now.

I have exactly the same problem, on a Mac with Ventura. I cannot open Lightroom Classic anymore and have tried updating 6 times, no success. Always the same 146 error, as quoted by @anneg60362629 

 

From the suggestions on the page you refer to I have tried most.

  • 'Manually create file/folder' makes no sense for the target folder already exists.
  • I have changed permissions of the target folder, up several levels..
  • I have automatic updates so Creative Cloud version Sept 2024.
  • I have a Mac with Ventura, no other antivirus software I can disable. 
  • Using the Creative Cloud Cleaner sounds like a last resort and recommended for 'experienced users', with many precautions etc. It sounds forbidding, for just one temporary file. I dared not risk it.

 

One of the things that is not immediately clear from instructions in the log file is of WHICH folder permissions need to be changed. It just says 'the specified folder' but source and target are both mentioned so which should it be? At first I assumed, like @anneg60362629 , that this refers to the source folder -which is somewhere deep down in the system where the average user fears to tread.

Like @anneg60362629 , I could not find /System/Volumes/Data/ , within the Volumes folder no Data folder is visible.  So deleting the file/folder that causes the problem manually is no option either -unless perhaps for very experienced users who know how to reach it.

 

As I use Lightroom Classic every day for various assigments I am very frustrated at the moment, and worried too. So I am hoping for a quick solution.

Reposting this because some of the text got cut off when I posted it the first time.
