Error: 16
Running Windows 7 Enterprise. I am getting this error message after installing Adobe Acrobat DC. I uninstalled all Adobe products, removed residual files from Program Files, Program Files (x86), Program Data, and the registry as well. I then reinstalled Adobe Acrobat DC and I am still receiving the same error message. There is no support available by phone and I don't see a support email either. Has anyone encountered this? If so, what was the resolution? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Javier C. Ceseña

Hi Atul,
I tried to take ownership of the folder by adding the Administrators group as the steps indicate. However, is gives me access is denied and will not allow me to change the ownership. I am an administrator on the machine in question.
Update: I was able to change permissions and take ownership now. However, it sill shows the same message.

Try this way.:
First we will set the permissions to main Adobe folder itself under Common Files >Adobe.
If you provide full permission to main folder, same applies to sub-folders as well. .
Navigate to C: > Program Files(x86) >Common Files .
Under Common Files folder locate Adobe folder ,.
Right click on Adobe folder and select Properties option.
Imp: Uncheck Read only option and click Apply.
If it prompts error ignore all .
Click on Security tab.
Click on Edit button .
Click on user names listed in the Group or User name section.
Then tick the box next to Full Control under Allow .
Provide Full control all user names :
Like SYSTEM, Administrator, Your Current logged in user name , Trusted Installers..etc
All must have Full Control.
Then click Apply and then OK.
If you get any error message while applying privileges , click on ignore all option.
Follow same steps for C: ProgramData>Adobe.
Provide full permissions to Adobe folder under Program Data,
Imp: Uncheck Read only option and click Apply.
Once you had provided Full control both Adobe folders try to launch the app and check.

I got this dire error when launching Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC, and InDesign CC.
When I tried to launch Bridge CC, it launched but immediately crashed.
I wondered how it was possible for all of these apps to go bad all at once, since they worked fine yesterday.
Then I opened up the Creative Cloud app, to make sure I was still signed into Creative Cloud, but all looked normal there.
Finally I realized my laptop had been asleep for the afternoon. The kids had connected a friend's Xbox to the home network.
I thought, maybe the router assigned a new IP address to my laptop when it woke up from sleep. And maybe the Creative Cloud watchdog software is hanging onto the old IP address. Just guesses, but I rebooted my laptop and suddenly all my CC apps were working again perfectly!
I am so glad I didn't do what the error message said, uninstalling and reinstalling all of my apps.
This solution may not apply to everyone, but if your computer was asleep and maybe woke up and got a different IP assigned (unbeknownst to the Adobe system software) then a reboot may be the simple answer.
