Creative Cloud App installer disappears after "Initialising Installer" stage

New Here ,

I recently had to reboot my laptop to its settings for 4 days ago, and ever since then I cannot seem to download CC app at all.

I don't even get an error message, the installer just disappears after the Initialising Installer stage.

I have tried using the uninstaller tool, but when I try to reinstall the same thing happens.

This is very frustrating. I did not expect to have to pay for the CS6 products and to not be able to download the software itself.

I pay monthly for this service and the more days I go unable to download the software seems frankly a waste of my money.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

This doesnt work. It just starts the download and then disappears. I have tried the cleaner tool and reboot the computer and nothing happens. I need the software for my work everyday, so this is a big problem for me!

This is the only method that worked for me, thank you so much. I think my problem was that different previous settings and versions were confusing for the creative cloud installer and therefore it was disappearing and not opening every time after installation. 

Very grateful!

I am having this same problem. Did you figure it out? Today I had to reboot my computer to a week or so ago. I try to download creative cloud and it just disappears. I have restarted my computer countless times. I am unable to download the cleaning tool because it won't let me progress with out a disk in the driver. Please help if you figured it out!

I just used this link, downloaded Adobe Applications Manager, and then reinstalled CC through the CC Installer. It worked! Thank you. I was sweating bullets for about an hour until I found this thread on the forum. Mucho Gracias!
