Hi @Epic5C49,

Your primary drive needs plenty of empty space to download and extract files.  Evidently, you don't have enough empty space on your primary (C ) drive.  Until you free up some space by moving work files to externals, uninstalling non-essential software, etc.. you will not able to install PS and AE.

 

Please ensure your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements to run Creative Cloud + OS + all other apps you use. Check each one.  Keep in mind, that these are only baseline requirements.  Depending on your project size and workflow, you may need considerably more than this for scratch disk and processing.

Well, how much space is actually available on your drive?
