  O'Briain you indicated that you had no other Adobe Creative previously installed software.  If this is the case there should be no previous installation of Adobe Application Manager.  Please use the Control Panel programs and features to ensure that all Adobe Creative Software are removed.

  You will then want to use the available CC cleaning tool to use CC Cleaner tool to resolve installation problems. CC, CS3 - CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html to ensure that all entries have been deleted.
