Unable to install on a network drive. Adobe Creative Cloud fix!!
46A couple of days ago when I was playing a game on my PC, suddenly my computer restarted and when I got back into Windows, I noticed that one of my hard drives has totally disappeared!! I won't name the company that built the hard drive, but it was a 1TB M.2 SSD! I thought these things would last for years as when i bought it, it actually had a 5 year manufacturer's warranty. But now that I have to do is take the SSD back to the computer shop and go through a lot of trouble for something that is $130 AUD.
Okay I kind of went on a tangent but back to the main point of the video. Since the hard drive storing my Adobe Apps are gone, naturally I have to re-install Adobe onto another hard drive. So when I launched the Creative Cloud app and tried to install Premiere Pro, After Effects etc. on my main hard drive, it won't let me!! It kept saying "Unable to install on a network drive". But I am not trying to install on a network drive! It turns out that Adobe has no idea that my hard drive is gone so it probably is confused about where the program has gone and is still trying to put it back in the same place.
In order to fix this problem, I had to download a creative cloud cleaner tool, and follow the instructions on this page to clean up the creative cloud settings in the registry.
