Shubc30, as a next step I would recommend working with Microsoft or the computer manufacturer to verify that all available updates are installed.  You can find the necessary requirements for each Creative Cloud application at Adobe Creative Cloud system requirements .

Shubc30, what version of Windows are you installing Lightroom CC and Adobe Reader on?  Have you applied all of the available updates that are available from Microsoft and the computer manufacturer?

Error 188 occurs because an older version of the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application is installed and not compatible.  Please reinstall the Creative Cloud desktop app from Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe Creative Cloud trial .  For more information on Error 188 see Creative Cloud download and install errors .

Please update this discussion if you have any additional questions or encounter new errors, Shubc30.
