Error 183 when updating CC Desktop from the Assets tab

Hi,

Today, Adobe CC Desktop refused to start telling me that I either had to Quit or to Repair. I selected Repair which resulted in a failed operation and an empty folder for the CC Desktop app. Thank you, Adobe. So, as usual, I uninstalled and reinstalled. After launching CC Desktop, I saw a red dot near the Assets tab. I clicked on it and after a "Checking for updates", it proposed to update Adobe CC Desktop ( ? ? ? I just downloaded and re-installed it so I'm wondering what it wanted to update).

Anyway, this operation systematically fails with either error 184 or error 183. Log file here : Dropbox - Install.zip . I'm using Windows 10 Creators. I tried in Safe Mode and under a clean Admin account. Nothing helps.

This program is just a failure. Always new problems, failed updates, uninstallations and re-installations,... Time to clean this code.

Now some more fun...

When trying to uninstall CC Desktop from the Control Panel, before you get the message mentioned above, you have the choice to "Uninstall" (which will fail, of course) or to Repair. When selecting Repair, you get the following error message

LOL. I'm running Windows 10 Creators. Yet another bug in the routine retrieving the Windows version number...


OK. I have fixed the problem by changing the properties of all executables in the Adobe Sync folder and subfolders. I have enabled the "Run this program as an administrator" in the Compatibility tab. Problem gone.

This is not something new. It already happened in the past that Lightroom and Photoshop refused to launch unless I run them as an administrator.

Hi,

The latest version of CC Desktop (4.7.0.400) seems to have fixed the problem. Never got this error again since then. Also, I no longer have the login problem (waiting forever for the app to login). After all this time, Adobe CC Desktop now appears to work normally.

The problem is back with version 4.8.0.421. This one has no Assets tab but it is still able to issue error code 183 when trying to update itself. The fix that worked in previous versions has probably been forgotten in this release. The "run as administrator" trick doesn't help.

I'd really like to have a conversation with the perverse person who has invented this torture instrument. Why make things simple when they can be complicated ?

    I have exactly the same issue with 4.8.0.421.  I have the Red ntoficatio bell flagged a failed update, when I hit retry I get the Error 183.

    I had an issue where Creative Cloud was giving the 183 error when trying to update.  Also it wouldn't let me install Acrobat DC.   After trying many things, I did a repair of my AVG anti virus software and that fixed the problem.  If you have a similar problem, I would suggest uninstalling or repairing your anti virus software, and rebooting.  This was on Windows 10.

    Thanks but same answer as the last message in the referenced thread.

    The advice given in this thread doesn't seem to be relevant since Adobe CC Desktop must be running in order to launch and update from the Assets tab.

    Anyway, I can't spend my time uninstalling / re-installing / cleaning up the Adobe CC stuff each time Adobe CC Desktop is updated. This doesn't make sense. The developers of this program should spend their time fixing it.

    Actually, there are 2 recurrent errors :

    FATAL: Error (Code = 184) executing in command 'MoveFileCommand' for package: 'CoreSync-mul', version:2.4.1.35

    FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: CoreSync-mul Version: 2.4.1.35). Error code: '184'

    WARN: Unable to move file at "C:\adobeTemp\ETR233F.tmp\1\CoreSyncExtension\CoreSync_x64.dll" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Sync\CoreSyncExtension\CoreSync_x64.dll" Error 32 The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.. Try setting correct permissions to the specified file/folder or parent folder, so that admin has rights to modify it.

    Indeed, if I kill the Windows Explorer process while the update is running, I don't get this error and I immediately go to the error below... It's rather strange that the updater is trying to update a DLL that is already in use by Explorer.exe.

    FATAL: Error (Code = 183) executing in command 'RunProgramCommand' for package: 'CoreSync-mul', version:2.4.1.35

    FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: CoreSync-mul Version: 2.4.1.35). Error code: '183'

    WARN: Program "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Sync\CoreSync\customhook\CoreSyncCustomHook.exe" failed with exit code: 105

    This one is unclear. No idea about what RunProgramCommand is trying to do.
