    Also, it would be really helpful if you can share the logs files with us so that we can check and analyze what could be causing the issue.

    Please run the log collector tool first to collect the logs, after that you can go ahead and perform the troubleshooting steps.

    Follow the instructions here to download log collector tool and share the logs with us: How to use the Creative Cloud Log Collector tool.

    Hi Bani,

    Thanks for the help, I tried all the solutions you mentioned, but it didn't work, the problem still occurred. BTW, it is not the first time I'm trying to install CC. The story is I found my old CC couldn't update, so i removed it from application, and tried to install again, but unsuccessful with p42.

    I did the steps with log collector tool, and got the .zxp file. But I didn't find the option to share it. So I created a dropbox link to share it, I don't know if this could work for you, if not plz let me know. And if there is anything could help my problem, plz let me know, I have several projects need to be done, I'm worrying about that without adobe.

    Thanks a lot!

    Thank you so much for sharing the log files. I really appreciate your patience on this.

    After reviewing the log files it seems to be permission related issue. I have also reviewed your Adobe ID and found that you have a teams license of Creative Cloud, this installation requires deployment, I would recommend contacting your IT department to get the right permissions to install the app.

    I am moving this thread to Deployment for Creative Cloud for Team, Enterprise, & CS community, experts here will be able to assist you better.


    Thank you so much for the help, because I have work to do with those softwares, I don't have other options.

    I'm still confused that even I don't have a license, at least I can install it through trial or something like that. But never mind, shall I wait for other experts to help me with problem? Or start a new conversation?

    Thanks again for your help, I really did.

    Hi People/权力涛,

    As you have mentioned you are unable to install Adobe CC apps on your Mac machine with Mojave operating system as the installer fails with an error message "Installer was unable to copy a critical file/directory. Error code: P42".

    Is this the first time you are trying to install CC apps on this machine? If yes, then please try the troubleshooting given in the following help document to resolve this issue: Error code 43 when installing Adobe Creative Cloud.

    Let us know if this helps.
