某些 Creative Cloud 应用程序、服务和功能在中国不可用。
The Creative Cloud products utilize a proprietary product to install software on end-user Computers. The Creative Cloud Packager wraps that installer inside an MSI file on Windows and a PKG file on Macintosh for a more native experience. The majority of the error logging is handled by our proprietary installer. The section below covers the installation troubleshooting steps for packages created by the Creative Cloud Packager.
The Microsoft installer (MSI) is used to initiate our proprietary installer on Windows. There are a number of issues that can be encountered prior to our installation starting on Windows. The PKG installer is used to initiate our proprietary installer on Macintosh. All of the current errors on the Mac are captured in the proprietary product installation logs, see Analyze issues after extraction in the Troubleshooting install logs | CC for assistance analyzing our logs.
The steps below will help you identify issues on Windows prior to our proprietary installer initiating. The installer does not display any messages on screen during the installation. If the installation processes completes and the products are installed, you encountered no errors.
On Windows, check the Task Manager on Windows for msiexec, PDApp, and Set-up.dat to determine if our installer is still running. On Mac, check the Activity Monitor for PDApp, Adobe Installer, <Product Installer> Install (or Uninstall).pkg to determine if our installer is still running. When all of these processes have disappeared, the installation has complete.
The Microsoft installer checks the condition of the computer prior to starting our installer. Any problems in the environment can prevent any MSI installer from initializing. These generate Windows Installation errors and can be identified Analyzing MSI logs section.
The following issues commonly prevent a installation from initiating. Confirm these steps below by looking at the MSI install logs.
There must be enough hard disk space to copy the installer locally and install the files. Verify the machine has enough hard drive space.
Verify the amount of space necessary by reviewiing the System Requirements for the included products and adding up the necessary space.
Suspended and in-progress installations prevent the installer from running.
- Run a suspended installation again to either complete the process or roll it back. Rebooting often clears these interruptions.
- Complete in progress installations before proceeding.
The installer must be run with Administrator permissions or higher. This is commonly referred to as elevated permissions. Management utilities such as SCCM and ARD automatically initiate installations with elevated permissions.
On Mac
- Ensure you run the installer within an administrator account.
- For command line installations, use sudo to elevate the permissions of the process. For information, see Deploy Adobe Creative Cloud with ARD.
On Windows
- Run the installation from an administrator account.
Important: Our installer does not support being run from a standard user account with administrative rights. - For command line installations, launch the command prompt with administrator rights. By default, command prompts are run under standard user permissions. Right click on the Command Prompt shortcut and choose Run As Administrator. For information, see Deploy Adobe products with SCCM.
Security and backup software can lock files and prevent installation of software. Temporarily disable this software to ensure it is not preventing the installation. If disabling the software enabled the installation, add the Adobe Installer files to the list of files not to scan.
You select whether a package is 32 bit or 64 bit when you create your package inside of CCP. This must match the version of your operating system. The installer checks the operating system version based on the selection within the CCP.
Selecting a 64 bit package does not install only 64 bit products. Many of our products are still 32 bit and will install the 32 bit version. Some of the products install the 32 and 64 bit version of our software. You change the executable you want to run after the installation. The video products (Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Audition, Prelude, and SpreedGrade) are 64 bit only.
Important: You cannot install only 32-bit products or only 64-bit products.
The steps to install packages can be found within the Creative Cloud Packager help. The information below are common problems discovered with Windows command lines.
You cannot run the MSI in UI mode by double clicking. Instead you must run the setup.exe.
The following commands demonstrate the basic format:
- MSI command without Acrobat
msiexec /i "Package Name.msi" /quiet - Setup.exe command with Acrobat
setup.exe --silent
For the MSI command:
- The package name must be in quotes if it contains spaces.
- The package name must follow the /i command after a space.
- The /quiet or /qn switch are the only acceptable quiet switches.
- We don't support other silent options not mentioned in the documentation.
For the setup.exe command:
- There are two dashes in front of the silent command.
- The install directory is only necessary if you are changing the install location from the default location.
- Other MSI command line switches are not accepted.
You can commonly troubleshoot silent installations that are run by double-clicking the installer or by invoking the command line, by using a few basic steps. Each step isolates problems with the process. The sections above address common issues.
-
For command line installations, try running the command from the local machine.
For information on running the command line installation, see Installer Files Reequire Elevated Permissions and Incorrect Silent Command.
Running the command from a local machine eliminates:
- The installer will display an on screen error if it is unable to initiate. Normally, these errors are suppressed.
- Errors configuring your management solution (For example, SCCM or ARD.)
- The installer will display an on screen error if it is unable to initiate. Normally, these errors are suppressed.
-
Double click on the setup.exe (Windows) or <Name> Install.pkg (Mac.)
When you double-click on the local copy of the setup file, the installer determines if the installer can be run on the local computer.
A UI install eliminates:
- Problems with the command line syntax.
- Problems that occur when the command prompt is run without correct permissions.
The MSI Log may contain additional information on what is preventing the installation. Follow the steps below to isolate MSI errors.
Analyze this log if:
- The install is failing within a few minutes of starting.
- The install never appears to start.
- There are no errors within the Adobe proprietary installation logs and a main installation product log was not created.
-
Search the log from Return value 3
Note: This is the failure error code and is most likely to provide you with a reason for the failure if it occurred within the MSI log.
Errors appear before the search term.
Example
MSI (s) (20:48) [23:26:41:390]: Error 2401. 64-bit registry operation attempted on 32-bit operating system for key HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Adobe\. Action ended
23:26:41: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
In this example, the error code is 2401 and the full error is, "Error 2401. 64-bit registry operation attempted on 32-bit operating system for key HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Adobe\."
If no errors are found, continue onto the next sections in this document.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/sccm.html -
Search the Adobe knowledgebase the error code. Omit paths and machine-specific information from search strings.
For the example error, you would search on, “Error 2401. 64-bit registry operation attempted on a 32-bit operating system for key”
-
If that did not succeed, search the Internet for the error.
Forum posts and other users may have encountered this error and post undocumented solutions. Verify the solution succeeded before attempting the steps.
The same logs are used by the retail and volume license installer.
