Cannot install Creative cloud installation - error code 46

Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64, service pack 1

Getting this message during the installation:

"Setup could not access a critical file. Please try to reinstall. (error code: 46) »

In case it was a question of privileges:

  • Judges as the main user who already has administrator privileges
  • Tried to create a new user, admin and installation from which
  • Tried to activate the disabled by default administrator user and installation

Also tried with antivirus/firewall off and tried running Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool and then run the installer again.

Same error each time - any ideas on how to get this installed?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance

Finally figured it out, so here's the solution to the case where anyone hit this problem - in my case it was a Comodo internet security.

Don't know if it is the anti-virus, HIPS, auto-bac in sand, or the firewall, but I have essentially disabled * all * of them for a few minutes then I ran the installer, and everything worked well. Switched back and the installed application works without any problem at all. Note that Comodo should always be run and each option actually disabled, rather than going out just Comodo in the systray (the protection stays on that if you do this, it still needs to run as a service).

Hope this is of some use and saves some time/hassle for anyone having problems with the installer.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.
