Error code 176 indicates that you are trying to install the app on a network drive. The solution is to select another install location in your device preferences, and install the app again.

I've moved your post from Using the Community to the Photoshop forum.

and make sure you're not trying to install on the root of a drive.  ie, create an adober folder on the drive and install into that.

<moved again to download & install>

[simon_2086]

Not trying c:\ d:\ or g:\ tried all with new folders in them

[kglad]

@simon_2086 

use the default location to install.

[simon_2086]

I did I thought, what should the default be?

[kglad]

it's your os drive:

[simon_2086]

I have tried my default drive.

[kglad]

copy and paste here a screenshot of your cc desktop preferences showing that.

[kglad]

that's not the default location and is problematic. 

reset your cc app and then check if the install location has been corrected 

[simon_2086]

How to reset?

[simon_2086]

Uninstall/reinstall?

[kglad]

1. reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:
   
   Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
   Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
   
   

[simon_2086]

That just brings up the game clip recorder...unless its reset as well.

[kglad]

what's a game clip recorder?

[simon_2086]

[simon_2086]

The widget in top right.

[kglad]

that's a windows shortcut that you have setup and it's blocking the cc app reset.  suspend it.

[simon_2086]

Disabled tge gaming app, it carried out the reset....►►►Still Fails!?>!?◄◄◄

[kglad]

after the reset was the default install location available?

[simon_2086]

Yes, I tried deleting the folder, CTRL+ALT+R. reboot....Still nada;(

[kglad]

copy and paste here a screensot of your cc preference install location

[kglad]

no, that's still incorrect.

click the edit icon > navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe

click ok

then copy and paste another screenshot here so we can confirm it's correct before you do anything else.
