Hi everyone, so i've been trying to install the creative cloud app but i've tried basically every solution (except restarting my OS, which would be ridiculous honestly) and still no luck.
I got it to work one time after installing VC redist x86 and x64. But it just stopped working the next day so i'm stuck again in this loop (I get "creative cloud is taking longer than usual"), i can't even unistall it because i get "Uninstallation completed with errors" so i just went with revo uninstaller to delete even registry files.
So yes, the app just does not work for me.
I might be missing something else but I just don't know what at this point, but having to go through all of this for a singular app is just silly regardless.
Hope I can find another guide for this with even more solutions. Thank you
