Trying to download creative cloud and indesign to my Mac but the installer gets stuck at 21.5% for CC and 9.1% for Indesign. I had them both on my laptop before but I have since deleted them and I'm trying to re-intall but it is not working, please help someone?!
I used the CC Cleaner Tool below and it worked for me.

PaddyBev1, do you ever seen any errors while trying to install the CC applications? If not, then please check the install log for the error that is preventing the installations from completing. You can find information on how to locate and interpret the installation log at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-download-install-logs.html.

Skiwithpete and Mamo88_, I am sorry but being stuck at a particular percentage does not provide any guidance as to the error that is preventing the installation. Did you locate any errors in the install log? If not, or you do not wish to manually review the log, then please contact our support team at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html for direct assistance.
You are currently posting in public discussion forum, so you will need to implement the suggestions in the discussion if you wish to make progress with resolving the error.

Jeff_A_Wright - I followed you steps as I am having the same issue as those above with a 21.5% stuck install. When I trace the error logs I find this:
10/21/19 12:00:02:763 | [TRACE] | | SMJobBlessHelper | SMJobBlessHelper | | | | 1157626 | 0 | Inside ProcessLauncher::executeAction | Return status of LaunchProcess 1 with errorCode 0l & returnCode 0l
that leads me to this solution:
"How to fix the "Creative Cloud desktop app failed to install" error
Try the following solutions in order. Stop once you're able to successfully install the Creative Cloud desktop app.
Uninstall the Creative Cloud desktop app, and then reinstall it.
Run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Reinstall Creative Cloud desktop app using an administrator account."
Can I just delete the Creative Cloud installer from my Mac? I don't seem to have Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool - so I'm not sure how to address this issue, please advise

Andia, I appreciate the update, but I am unsure which log you are reviewing. Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-download-install-logs.html for information on how you can discover the error that is preventing installation.
I will look forward to your update on this public forum discussion.

Hi Jeff,
I eventually solved this through support who had to remote into my machine and solve it - not sure what the issue was, it took 3 successive downloads and installs before it installed properly, but it is working now. Thanks for coming back to me

Hi Maximip1,
I concur with Jeff_A_Wright - support is the best solution, I spent ages trawling forums without finding a solution. support was really excellent and resolved the issue.

Well, a lot of people upgrading to Catalina seem to get stuck at 21.5% – me too!
So maybe in this case the particular percentatge does indeed provide any guidance.
I know Apple messed up a lot of things with Catalina and it may be not Adobe's fault entirely, but clearly you can't install under the current macOS – at least not if there was a previous version of CC installed.

This should be the correct answer. I just ran the Cleaner tool (didn't bother doing the extra terminal options) & it worked straight away. Thank you!

Worked for me too. Odd a user found this and shared it with the comunnity before an Adobe support rep, but I guess this forum worked regardless. THANKS blindviz!!

Yes, it seems this is the fix for Catalina Mac OS when you are stuck at 21.5% of CC install.

Thanks, this worked! Shame on Adobe for leaving it to punters to point us to this simple fix

This should be marked as correct answer. Worked for me and seems to work for many 🙂

Had this issue, tried everything that forums suggested (including CC cleaner tool) and nothing worked. Ended up talking to an Adobe person and realised you can just download the entire setup files directly from the website. This will work perfectly!

Did you get an answer for this? I'm having the same problem...stuck at 5% after running the cleaner...

I am also stuck at 5% now, before it was 21%.
Please fix this problem now.

Perfect thank you this worked for me! I think its important to use the clean up tool and empty the bin first though.
