New computer install.

Installed LR on my new Digital Storm computer and when I open it, I get this error message:  "Lightroom cannot write to the following directories.  Until this problem is resolved, syncing from LR may not function correctly.  C:\Users.

Previous computer had 2 names there and most was written to the second name.  I am wondering if this is a LR problem that can be corrected via something I don't know about?  Everything else is functioning properly.

Fixed by creating a new folder for the Synced Downloads on my hard drive and setting this in Preferences/Lightroom Sync and checked the Specify Location box and set it to the new folder location.

install the cc desktop app from here https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop?action=install&source=apps&productId=creative-cloud and use it to install your adobe subscription and trial programs.

 

if you have trouble downloading the cc desktop app or you see an error message when trying to install, make sure you have a compatible os (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html), and use the alternative download links at page bottom here, https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

    Thank you Kglad for getting back to me.  I installed LR from the Creative Cloud on my desktop, so that may not be the cause.  The program installed and runs fine except for this one error.
