At work, I was able to install Lightroom Classic but not Photoshop or Illustrator. The path is C: \ Program Files \ Adobe which is not a network drive and it does not work. On the 2019, I had no problem (I was a bit late for the update).What can I do ?

I don't want to uninstall everything because if I can't reinstall anything, I can't work at all.

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

I did everything in the last post and cleared the cache in chrome then it finally worked.

***EDIT***

I did all those things, cleared the cache, and skipped the Adobe Genuine checker thing during creative cloud install then it worked.
