Adobe Dreamweaver installer on Windows 10 quits unexpectedly

Install appears to progress, with progress indicator sliding to the right, then suddenly it slides all the way back to left and installer quits.  Can't seem to figure it out.  Tried running from my local admin account or my regular account with escalated privileges.  Neither work.  Gone through and also tried the fix i saw online about the sfc scannow, and that also doesn't help.  I'm about out of answers.

    Correct answer Jeffrey_A_Wright

    i have a local admin account.  i just ran the install from that account and sent you another message.  let me know if you think it's the same reason as the previous one?


    Yes Roberth83657594 the error is still the same.  There must be another cause of the failure to write to the Temp directory.  I would recommend reviewing, and possibly temporarily disabling, any installed security software or utilities that may affect the ability to write to the Temp directory within the local user account.

    For other viewers of this discussion the relevant errors from the PDApp.log are as follows:

    Roberth83657594 are you reviewing the PDApp.log?  Do you find any errors in the Dreamweaver installation log?  For Windows 10 the location is \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers.

    I had a very similar problem recently installing from the CC Desktop app and it turned out to be something with my office network.

    I was told by the off-site network guy there was nothing wrong, but when I attached my computer to my cell phone hotspot, and had one of the gals stand outside the window with my phone (I get no cell signal in the Faraday cage that is "the building" it was truly hilarious), it downloaded using AT&T's network and installed without issue.


    Point being, if you're working with the CC Desktop app, you could try from a different network (home, work, coffee shop, cell phone, etc) and see if it makes any difference.
