Error Code 4 When installing Creative Cloud App

[brittneyl65865686]

Hello everyone, I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 and Im trying to install creative cloud desktop app. I keep getting an error code 4 when installing. Ive tried using the cleanup tool, restarted my computer afterwards. Turned off my firewall. I went to my system preferences and turned on to allow apps to be downloaded anywhere. I don't use the same download file incase its corrupted. I throw it in the trash can and empty it. I went to my utility folder and delete any adobe folders remaining and do the same.  I cant find what an error code 4 means when I google it. Im at my wits end. What are my options?

if nothing cc has ever been installed or attempted to install you can skip the first few steps and start with the cleaner step.  but check first!

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

then uninstall the cc desktop app, 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.
