    OS and version, please.

    You can download the LR CC trial version and convert it into a LR 6 version. They share the same code. Only difference is the licensing.

    ALL Fixed -- i removed CC / CC lightroom6 . reinstalled the Lightroom LR6 Standalone Ver , and it works Great - i think the Creative cloud app was causing all kinds of problems .

    Are you getting error message like "Installer failed to initialize" along with the message prompt to install Support advisor?

    If possible post screenshot of error message,
