Error 204

Hi all,

Having trouble with "creative cloud" the past two days... Use it for Adobe Premiere. Not had any issues the past 3 months then suddenly, when I open Creative Cloud, I get an Error 204 message. The update/install stops at 6% every time.

I've tried uninstalling the program twice, clearing all the Adobe CC files from my computer, all the other Adobe programs, wiping them all from my computer. Restarting and starting over, and I'm still having the same issue.

I tried installing Premiere Pro on its own but that won't let me open my files to edit because "the save files were created with a newer version"...

Please help... About to launch my laptop through my window.

Ok, it works again. Normaly i log me in by using Microsoft account at Windows Home.

So, after i used local login i can install and also start those application (same effect by using other app). No problem before.

What could it be changed, that makes this kind of effect?


Adrianm366001 when it works under the newly created account then it would indicate that the previous User account did not have the necessary permissions to modify, or write to, the required folder/directory.

You can try to adjust the file permissions for the previous User account. Details on how to update the file permissions can be found at Error exit code 6, exit code 7 installing Adobe Creative Cloud​.  You will want to review the install log to determine the exact directory/folders that are affected.  Information on how to locate the install log can be found at Creative Cloud download and install errors​.

Dom error 204 indicates there was a problem accessing a critical file or directory during the installation process.   Additional information on Error 204 can be found at Troubleshoot Adobe Creative Cloud download and install issues​.

Please review the settings of any installed security software.  It is likely preventing access to the necessary files/folders to complete the installation process.  If you are unsure how to reconfigure the software then please temporarily suspend it's use to allow the installation to complete.

Same to me. To suspend my security software those not help. I also tried to use Adobe Cleaner and checked my configuration. I cannot install new product nor as administrator.
