Photoshop CC install fails with "ASU has quit unexpectedly"
Since desktop Creative Cloud application [Windows 7] failed with a continuously spinning wheel I have been trying the various solutions found here. These have involved uninstalling everything, running cleaner, re-installing desktop CC... Attempting to then re-install Photoshop CC 2015 then fails, [stops at some percentage]. I've tried the more precise operations found here [Errors "Exit Code 6" and "Exit Code 7" installing Adobe Creative Cloud, CS6, CS5.5, Premiere Elements, and Photoshop Ele…] without any success. [Though cannot claim all the redistributable repairs and modified startups were done correctly.]
The relevant portion of the log appears to be:

The Assets1_1.zip file is present in the correct path. To test the integrity of the file I can un-zip it manually. The un-zip appears to work without error.
Attempting to launch Photoshop then fails with components not found.
It seems that a fair number of folks are having similar issues. Any solutions or work-arounds?
