I am also getting this

FATAL: Can't install to a network location
FATAL: Error occurred in install product workflow with error code 176 error message

And I am not trying to install on a network drive. I have 2 sshd's and 2 m.2 SSD's, I had photoshop installed on the ssd and it was working fine, I then installed it to the sshd, worked fine, went to update it, got that error, now i've tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling it to the ssd again, but same error, no network drive...

I have also just now tried repairing Adobe CC, but that did nothing. Same issue. I think you have something wrong with your installers Adobe. Please fix I need to edit a PDF and can't install any of the software currently. Thanks.

these are user-to-user forums.

first try, resetting the cc app: To reset the Creative Cloud desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

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

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

if that fails go ahead and uninstall/reinstall per the above link

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

uninstall every cc app including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html
then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
check for, and if available, update your os
restart your computer (don't skip this)
reinstall the cc desktop app, https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
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)
use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

Thank you for taking the time to post this. I followed your instructions and did not know about the cleanup tool. I think that did the trick after following the other steps as you described. Now I can install everything. Thanks again!
