Hi Rggann,

I have sent you a message asking for install logs. Please share logs with us so that we can check what is the issue and provide you with the resolution.

Regards

I've gotten a message from our State OIT group today stating there is an issue with the CC licensing that they are working on.  I'm not sure if this is related to this problem because I'm now getting an error that my license has expired, which is new.  My license has not expired (it was renewed in July), so this is an error, however, it complicates this issue.  Let's wait till my OIT gets the issue resolved to verify that there is not some relationship here.

The OIT licensing issue is resolved and did not fix this problem. I've successfully installed other CC programs, but not Acrobat DC.  I'll send the log files via email cause I don't see a way to put them here.

I'm getting nowhere on this.  Have to say, I'm not impressed with Adobe's current support process.  The forum appears to be the only option I'm offered, chat and support call disappear.  So far, I've been advised to look at logs that just regurgitate what I already know from the errors - and I'm getting moved from forum to forum.  Is there a more viable support process?

Sigh.....

The install logs show nothing unusual.

The PDApp.log has some stuff, but it all looks fine.  The last line is:

11/13/17 15:04:34:092 | [INFO] | 3688 | ASU | OPM | P7Native |  |  | 12408 | Default user found for client_id: CreativeCloud_v4_3

In the "Installers" Directory I see a log file which has the following errors near the end.  These are basically the same errors I get reported and are non-sensical (meaning they tell me it didn't work).
