You may receive the following error when trying to install a new Creative Cloud app through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app:
Windows cannot find ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\Elevation Manager\Adobe Installer.exe’. Make sure you’ve typed the name correctly, then try again.
The easiest solution is to repair the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.
To do this;
- Go to the Windows start menu, type in ‘Settings’,
- Open the Settings app,
- In the Settings app, choose Apps on the left,
- Choose ‘Installed Apps’ on the right,
- Type in Adobe Creative Cloud,
- When Adobe Creative Cloud appears in the list, click the ‘kebab’ menu (3 horizontal dots) on the right, and choose Uninstall,
- Choose Uninstall again. Don’t worry, there’ll be a step where we can choose to Repair instead of Uninstall,
- In the dialogue box that opens, choose Repair.
