I had this same error and managed to get around it by running the .msi file that the CC app downloaded to a temp folder on my own. Steps were:

1. Find the location Adobe_Lightroom_X64.msi (in a a temp folder)
2. Run it and install (serial number was already pre-filled out)
3. Restart the CC desktop app

It then appeared as installed under ‘Your Apps’ and works as usual.
