4gb is the minimum needed hd space, so double check that you have 6 gb (and you can assume you're going to have problems soon, even if you shoehorn photoshop onto your computer now).

OS 11.4

Yes I am using CC Desktop

Just says "Installation Failed" after it gets to about 4%

It has a button that says "retry" and that just produces the same result.

 

Thanks.

Thank you. I will try these and follow up a bit later.

 

So it could be a storage issue... I don't understand where all my storage is because my docs/files are probably about 6 GB total and I have 120 GB drive with no crazy software except the minimum Creative Cloud for design.

 

It wasn't opening saying scratch disks were full so I uninstalled, cleaned some hard drive space and then couldn't get it to reinstall.

 

I will try these suggestions. Thanks!

I was able to get it to install. I reset the desktop app. I am working on a project off of ID2020 (not my decision) so I uninstalled ID2021 and then tried and Photoshop installed. Thank you so much for your help!!!!
