    Hi Jeff,

    This did the trick - “rename the folders.” Thanks for your help.

    Solution 1: Rename Adobe folders in the Applications or Program Files folder

    Note: Before attempting this solution, make sure that you have attempted to uninstall the programs you are trying to install.

    Often, files left over from previous install attempts can lead to read or write file system errors. Check the Applications (Mac OS) or Program Files (Windows) folders for folders left from a previous installation or update attempt.

    1.

    Navigate to:

    Mac OS: /Applications

    Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\

    2.

    Look for folders that are clearly named for the applications you are trying to install, and rename them. For example, rename Adobe Photoshop CC to Adobe Photoshop CC old.

    3.

    Check for a folder named AdobePatchFiles and rename it.

    4.

    (Mac OS only) Rename the Adobe folder in the Applications folder to Adobe old.

    5.

    Reinstall the software.

    6.

    If your installation is successful, confirm that your other Adobe applications are working, and then delete the renamed folders.

    I found the solution on cannot add module, try to rename it, I found it in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
    I just delete the application file that got error in my case it was Photoshop Beta, after that I go back to Creative Cloud and install the addons I want and it worked

      Sorry for the trouble you had to go through. As you have already tried all the basic troubleshooting steps, I would like to confirm if you have tried all the steps listed here: Resolve Error Code 146 or 147 encountered while installing Adobe Creative Cloud desktop apps.
