My Experience [Still unable to install Lightroom CC: Exit Code: 156]
I want to thank you all for your help over last three months and provide a summary of where I am with Lightroom CC.
I was able to install Lightroom CC and transfer some photos. Unfortunately, the process froze, and I am not able to restart Lightroom. Nor I am able to reinstall a new instance of Lightroom CC with Admin privileges.
While Lightroom was importing photos, two cryptic messages were generated every 15 -20 min from Windows.
- “Unauthorized changes blocked
Controlled Folder Access blocked
C:\lightroomhelp…. from making changes to the folder %us..\LightroomCC
- “Unauthorized changes blocked
Controlled Folder Access blocked
C:\dynamic link media… from making changes from to the folder
%userprofile% \Doc….\Adobe
I did allow the following apps through the Control folder:
- lightroomcc.exe
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom CC
- Photoshop.exe
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\Photoshop CC 2018
Where am I now.
I am not able to use Lightroom CC and I get the following message:
Exit Code: 156
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 2 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 1 warnings(s)
FATAL: Error (Code = 156) executing in command 'CreateSymlinkCommand' for package: 'AdobeLightroomCC-mul', version:1.2.0.201801311556
FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: AdobeLightroomCC-mul Version: 1.2.0.201801311556). Error code: '156'
WARN: Unable to create symlink at "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\..\Desktop\Lightroom CC.lnk"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I try to open the executable (lightroomcc.exe), I get the message: Contact Adobe technical support. Error :5
The Lightroom CC directory is created at \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom CC and it seems to contain all the files.
If this continues, it possible to change my subscription to Lightroom Classic CC?
