If present , Select the option "Adobe Application Manager for Mac OS X 10.6" and then click on "Clean up Selected" .

Really? When I tried the above (in Oct. 2023) I downloaded the file folder shown above in the comment, and the "install" icon under Adobe App Mgr has a circle with a cross around it, and when I try to open it, it states:

"'Install' needs to be updated. (The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.)"

This link worked for you? I'm on a Macbook air running Ventura 13.2.1, so it SHOULD have no problem, but it still persists.

install 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.

Thanks so much!! After a morning of trying to get this done, it worked!!!!!!

Now it looks like we have to follow this last comment:
"install 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.
