My lightroom classic download hangs at 44% no matter what I have tried so far.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled CC desktop, run cleaner... still at 44%

On the other hand, PS downloaded fine.

Im on Windows 1903 version...

Any other recommendations?

    Thank you for responding.

    This may fall in the category of 'stuff' that wont work, until you ask for help 🙂

    I had been running windows updates, re-installs etc to no avail. After I posted this i found an option, when using microsoft edge, to download direcly without the CC desktop app.

    Now it stopped at 7.6%

    Then I saw your response and went back to CC desktop app to download and collect the logs. Of course, it worked...

    Im baffeled but happy after 2 days of getting my new computer set up.

    Thanks again!

    I just signed up for a new subscription, I'm stuck at 44% on windows 10 64bit.. now I'm downloading some log collector?? This is kind of nuts just to install software.

    Hi, I have the same problem: PS, LR and Rush hang at 40%. Multiple support requested.....no one (in India?) can solve the problem. I am sick of waiting for a robust CC Desktop downloader and installer. Adobe takes my money while I have no service and just "blabla" help. It looks like I am not alone. When will this kind of issue be corrected?

    Update.

    While working on this problem my CC desktop login stopped working. It gave me a message saying i didnt have a personal account and needed to log in with an enteprise or school account, or something similar. I dont rememeber the exact wording. Of course, I have a personal account, and did not use the wrong password, yet my account somehow got hosed.

    Adobe support reset my account and as soon as I was back in, the PS download started again. This time it worked!

    I dont know if this was a coincidence or having my account reset clear something up... 

    I know I dont have the most reliable internet connection and its fairly slow, but the update/download via CC desktop should still work. It is flaky and need to be more rubust.

    Thank you for the update, Explorer636.  I am unsure how resetting the credentials for your Adobe account allowed the application to install, but I am happy it did.

     

    From the error you posted, it seems that the installer is being blocked from making necessary updates. If you are already logged in under an administrator account, and you face the problem again, then I would recommend reviewing the settings for any installed software that may be blocking access during the installation process.

    I too have LR Classic stalling at 43%.  I am on Win 10 64-bit.  So far I have had 2 separate agents from Adobe Support log onto my machine and all they have managed to achieve in 3 and a half  hours is download and install Desktop App via DDL - I did that within 30 minutes!
    The agents tried all the predictablefixes - deactivate anti-virus, disable Firewall, uninstall Desktop App, uninstall PShop and LR - all to no avail.  So with little faith in Adobe Support I reach out to the community, having already tried all the 'fixes' lissted on Adobe support pages.
    I should say that the stall also occurs at the same 43% on my second Win 10 PC (configured differently from my main PC), which leads me to think that there is an incompatibility that occurs when LR Classic installation reaches 43%.
    Grateful for any ideas how I can overcome this stubborn, frustrating problem.
    Of course I do have the option of cancelling my Adobe suscription and move to an alternaitve application that just works.

    I am sorry you have faced a frustrating experience with installing the Lightroom Classic update, as has previously been discussed in this public forum discussion, being stuck at a percentage does not provide any information on how to resolve the upgrade problem.

     

    Please check the installation logs and update this public forum discussion with the errors that you discover.  If you would like direct assistance with resolving the error, then please discontinue posting in a public discussion forum and contact our support team at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

    Explorer636, please check the install log to determine why Lightroom Classic is failing to install.  You can find information on how to interpret the install log at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

    I am having the same issue with all the apps. The Creative Cloud is totally useless.
