Hard drive replacement - can't install any CC apps - Error code 176

Community Beginner ,

I had to replace a failed hard drive which had all my CC apps on it, and I can't install any programs on a new drive - am getting the Error code 176 (can't install on network drive.)  I've researched this and found this forum post, with my same issue:

I run Windows 10 and Adobe CC on my sdd, but install all of my adobe apps on my hdd. My hdd recently crashed and I replaced it with a new one. Ever since I replaced my hdd, I haven't been able to install Photoshop CC or Illustrator CC on either my SSD or new HDD. All other apps install just fine. I get the same error when attempting to install either programs:  Exit Code 176

Your Adobe staff replied:

Could you please restart your machine once and then install the apps using this direct download link Download Creative Cloud apps

I have tried this, and clicking on the "Set-up.exe" file in the package of a program, it says it is installing, but then quits and comes up with the 176 error again.

Any suggestions?

thank you.
