ERROR 202

[NkSkuza]

Hello, i've been searching how to counter this error but impossible to fix following the intructions i've seen.

I just uninstalled all my Adobe Softwares, and i'm trying to install Adobe Creative Cloud but error 202 keeps comming back.

I have space on my drive and my internet is working fine.

I downloaded the creative cloud setup from this link: https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/download/creative-cloud

Please help 😛

follow each applicable step below.  eg, if no adobe cc app is currently installed, skip the first step.

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, again using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes...

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

if windows is your os, repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired (use google if you don't know how to do this)

if windows is your os update your ms visual c++, if it can be updated (use google if you don't know how to do this)

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app using the "alternative download links" at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

NOTE: win 11 users that have trouble with the latest win 10 installer often have success with the older win 10 installer.

Have same very error which is annoying.

Already done every single step removed all Adobe stuff with the cleanup. Then got some support and removed all credentials and certificates, even some C++ things got refreshed, everything but now cannot even install Creative Cloud on desktop meaning cannot use anything now.  Still get this error 202 at 33.5% progress. There's enough disk space, internet, all is done. Now what? cannot think where it is not allowing?
