I've been at it for a few days now and still can't get it to work. the install goes to 5% instantly and then throws this error. I even went through my registry and removed everything labeled Adobe, tried to install and it's still throwing this error in my face. Before you point me to previously solved issues with the same error, I've already looked at and tried every single one on adobe's support pages.

I tried a million solutions and this worked.
-Uninstall creative cloud - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
-Delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
-Reinstall Creative Cloud
Note: you may not be able to delete the 'CoreSyncExtension' folder. This is fine and it will work anyway.
also this youtube video had a solution that worked for alot of people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVjGoBBh6Ug
