CC Update - Exit Code 160

[timmhumpfer]

Hi,

when trying to update my CC Photoshop to the latest version, I keep getting the following error at the end of the installation process:

Exit Code: 160

-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------

- 2 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 1 warnings(s)

FATAL: Error (Code = 160) executing in command 'SetRegistryValueCommand' for package: 'AdobePhotoshop18-Core_x64', version:18.0.0.53

FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: AdobePhotoshop18-Core_x64 Version: 18.0.0.53). Error code: '160'

WARN: Error Setting Registry - Start 64-bit:1 root:2 key:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Photoshop.exe name:Default type:REG_SZ data:C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Photoshop.exe. Check for Registry permissions. (Error: Error 5 Zugriff verweigert)

Any ideas how to get this done?

Thanks,

Timm

It seems a permission issue with the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Photoshop.exe

I suggest you  to contact Adobe technical support,

they may try to set the permission for you.

Looks like a solution has since been posted in the Adobe Help pages:

The registry permissions aren't right.

• Enter "regedit" into the task bar (or "run", then "regedit")
• go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Photoshop.exe
• Right click on the Folder and set Permissions
• Change Permissions of your user to Full Control
• If your Username isn't listed, add it to the list by adding your MS Win10 Account E-mail into the field.
  • Check name on the right, click "OK" and set Permissions for your Username.
• Reinstall Photoshop and enjoy!
