Installing Creative Cloud + applications on Mac OS High Sierra

[jurgenw27571875]

Last week my Mac has been in the store for resetting, after (apparently) an update went back, causing it to fail to boot. Everything's operational again, safe for anything I used from Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign CS 5). Currently my Mac's running on OS 10.13.2 (High Sierra)

I've been trying numerous times to install the Creative Cloud Desktop app and a trial version of InDesign, but I keep getting the same error message (P1 or 1). I tried every solution offered by the adobe people, but to no avail. Is there something in Mac that prevents me to use any Adobe CC Software? Any assistance would be nice, cause I'm about to give up on Adobe completely.

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

then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

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

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app, https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.

if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 3 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

I never installed any CC applications before, so there's none to uninstall. The Administrator account didn't help either.

clean per Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app, https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.

if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 3 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)

I tried all that...  a dozen of times by now...  Still no luck.

Have you tried clicking download trial from the products page? That often launches the CC installer automatically. It may be worth trying.

Still keep getting the same error message. The problem must be with my Mac...

[99jon]

Try creating a new user account with admin privileges. Then do a clean install into the new account. If successful the application will be available to all users and you can switch back to your regular Apple log-in.

Tried the user account with administrator privileges. Same result. Keeps coming back with the same error message (P1).

Jurgenw27571875, in addition to the suggestions offered by Kglad and 99jon, please also see "Failed to install" error received when installing Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app which discusses how to resolve Error Code P1.  In particular, I would recommend removing the OOBE folder as discussed in solution two.
