Can't install Lightroom

Community Beginner ,

Lightroom disappeared from my laptop overnight, I don't know why. Creative Cloud said it's installed, but it wasn't installed, no folder was found, nothing turned up in Search. When I clicked Open, nothing happened. When I clicked Open (Intel), I got error "File not found".

 

I've uninstalled it. After clicking Install, it installed in... 1 second. But it didn't really install, nothing happened, no folder was created, nothing was downloaded, it went from 0% to 99% in 1 second. Again, clicking Open did nothing, Open (Intel) said that File not found.


I've reinstalled CC. I've used Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Nothing. It didn't work.

 

All my other apps download and work just fine, only Lightroom doesn't (normal Lightroom, not Classic).

 

I can't really find any real support, any help?

 

macOS Ventura (newest), Apple silicon M1 Pro chip.

What do you mean with "normal Lightroom"?

Which Lightroom version you talk about? 

 

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 10 Pro 22H2 -- LR-Classic 13.2 - Photoshop 25.5 - Nik Collection 6.8 - Topaz Photo AI 2

I don't think the thread opener means the perpetual verions of Lightroom. In my opinion it's the cloud based version. It's always version 6.1 at the moment.

if you want the newest, you should use the cc desktop app. if your cc desktop app is malfunctioning:

 

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R


if that fails, repair per https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-install-stuck.html


if that fails, uninstall using the correct uninstaller from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes... and then reinstall using*


if that fails, do a clean cc install carefully following each applicable step:

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, again using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes...

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

if windows is your os, repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired (use google if you don't know how to do this)

use the "alternative download links" at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

By @Radeghost

 

Do you have rebootet your machine after using the Cleaner Tool?

If not try a clean installation again.

 

If this doesn't help I would suggest a complete and clean reinstallation by following the steps below:

 

if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 4 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)

Your link is about Lightroom Classic. I don't have problem with Lightroom Classic, as I've stated in the post. It's about Lightroom Desktop 6.1. The newest one.

in the end it doesn't matter what percentage, unless it's nearly all indicating it can't easily be done.

 

create a new user in your mac and see if you can install lr for that user.
