adobe apps install to 99% (mac) and then force close and deletes itself

[99bimbo]

on mac, running macOS monterey and i'm having an issue:

i tried to install photoshop. it loads and starts installing but as soon as "opening creative cloud" pops up at 99%, the installer force closes and deletes itself! the installer doesn't even show up in the recycling bin. 

i figured i needed to install creative cloud first but the exact same thing happened! i have plenty of gb on my macbook and have strong wifi connections so i'm not sure if it's a bug with adobe or not.
