So I had a problem with my drive and it is dead now. I replaced it and now I can't install my apps via the creative cloud on my newly installed drive.
The error is: Unable to install on a network drive. Select another install location in your preference and retry installing. (error code: 176)
After changing to another drive, it still didn't work. I also tried wiping everything from adobe and then installing but it didn't work. I need help thank you.

I just redid everything and it works! I actually just saved the log when I did it the first time and did not see that there was the cleaner tool down under the page(dumb me).
Thank you so much for your help.
