I have had the same issue for some months now, but finally cracked it. I set Chrome to be my default browser (Windows 10 seems to default to Microsoft Edge) and uninstalled a program call Mal Bytesize defender which came pre packeaged with my Dell. I uninstalled all Adobe programs I'd previously downloaded, then downloaded the Creative Cloud Desktop App, and downloaded Photoshop CC and Lightroom through this App. Doesn't seem to be any further issues.

Thank you!  After quitting (did not uninstall) ByteFence Anti-Malware I was finally able to start the installation. What a pain trying to find the solution. I bought a new computer with Windows 10 64 bit that had it installed.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! i have literally been struggling with this error for months!! i NEED adobe programs because i am going to school for animation, and i have almost failed half my classes because i could not install any adobe programs! no one at adobe could help me. they kept giving me the same old "solutions", and once i said they didn't work, they essentially said they couldn't help. odd how a random customer is more helpful then the staff.

I had just re-installed Windows 10 on my Windows 7 computer and Adobe Ps & Lr would not install. Kept getting the P204 error code. I found that ByteFence Anti-malware was bundled with the Windows 10 upgrade. By uninstalling Bytefence, Adobe C.C. was now able to be loaded without problem.  Good Luck!

To everyone who is still encountering the P204 issue when installing any Adobe product (full version, or trial), if your system has ByteFence installed - then uninstall it completely, reboot, and then your error message should go away when you try to install Adobe. Hopefully this will help some of you. PAYBACK​ aleezas25432899​ ZUFAZELA89​

THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED was downloading each program directly from this page: Download Creative Cloud apps

None of the other suggestions helped me. I don't have an anti-malware program installed like Mal Bytesize or something like that. I've disabled firewalls and tried whatever else has been suggested, but glad I found the download page.

Hope that helps someone.
