This worked for me. Thank you!

I was brought here because ExManCmd had been acting up lately, refusing to install zxp files that had worked before. I tried it both in MacOs and Windows after updating Adobe Creative Cloud for desktop. I am an Adobe Photoshop extension developer and have spent the last two days repeatedly packaging and testing my zxp installer.

This has been a painstaking solution but it worked. Adobe Creative Cloud will not uninstall unless I uninstall all my currently installed Adobe applications which may fail to uninstall as well. I ended up looking up an uninstall log and manually delete files myself. After that, the zxp would install even without Adobe Creative Cloud installed and logged in.

For those who are unsuccessful at uninstalling Adobe Creative Cloud for desktop, I'm afraid you will have to reinstall your operating system. Adobe would probably advice against this but I think it is best to avoid having the Adobe Creative Cloud installed at all. It pays to have offline installers of your Adobe applications.

We ran into an issue with a -501 on one MBP.

There, simply renaming the ExMan.db file in here helped...

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Configuration/DB

As uninstalling the Creative Cloud app would probably blow all of that away as well, this may be a much easier thing to try first. Just rename the Exman.db file to something else and try installing.

Hope this helps someone.

A less invasive solution, Jun. Thank you!

In Windows, ExMan.db is found in

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Configuration\DB
