Still it's the same happening for me?

Hello. I am trying to install Photoshop on my Macbook Air M2 and I just can't. I have deleted Adobe Creative Cloud Experience folder, as Adobe suggests and I closed Creative Cloud Content Manager. Still didn't work out.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
Here is the error stacktrace :

Hi @ConK77 Error 183 usually points to anti-virus software interfering with the install.

@kevin stohlmeyer Thanks for the answer!

I turned Gatekeeper off and it still failed.

I don't know if this applies to m2, but have a look here:

[DadEliot]

Hello. Same thing. 
When I want install phtoshop on my Mackbook pro M2, I have the same error stacktrace. 
On the other hand, I don't have any problem to isntall LC classic. 
Have you find a solution ?

Thx !

[kevin stohlmeyer]

Hi @DadEliot @ConK77 install Rosetta 2.

[Greg28694662s8bl]

Sorry but Rosetta 2 is not the answer... 

[Greg28694662s8bl]

Well forgive... Thanks

[DadEliot]

@Kevin Stohlmeyer Thanks a lot. It works 🙂

I tried to connect from phone wifi. same problem.

Can you please provide some help?

Best Regards,

Enrique

One more thing... even if unsucesfull installation is announced (when reaching around 90%), Photoshop application is now on the folder... I I try to launch it, and it goes back to error"Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Reinstall the application.".

One more data, My OS and creative cloud is configured on Spanish, just in case there is a problem with the path (much likely this is not the problem)

Thanks in advance

You could try running the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of the software  before reinstalling it (yet again):  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

[jacquelineb60285720]

Exactly the same problem running in English with Apple silicon M2 Pro chip. Creative Cloud, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC and Bridge all installed without problem.

[jacquelineb60285720]

Thanks.

I found a quick fix: install an earlier version. Thgen update it. 

[TheDigitalDog]

Log out of your CC account. Reboot. Log back in: try reinstall once more. Any difference? 

[Enrique28950937z5e7]

Thanks for the idea. Not working!

[Enrique28950937z5e7]

I used the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and this did work. I had to reboot the computer on top of that. Finally it is installed... but what a bad beggining!

Thanks for the support. I hope this does not repeat!

All the best

Hello, today I bought Adobe Creative and I was able to install Ai Ae and when I want to install Ps it gives me installation error 183. Is it because I upgraded to ventura 13,2,1? Is that it? Thank you.
