    What’s the exact error message? Do you see which file is missing? Please post the message word-by-word. 

    What has been changed on your system before the error occur?

    If you’re on a Windows system this could be a Microsoft problem... Go to this site Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn

    and download and re-install the C runtime Libraries.

    Are you opening it from the CC Desktop?

    Hi Stellar_partnerab33,


    We're here to help you? Did the application install properly? Could you try uninstalling and reinstalling it? Are you on a Mac or Windows? Also, do you see any error message on the screen?


    Thanks
