"Creative Cloud installer has found missing Windows components" message

Received a message saying "Creative Cloud installer has found missing Windows components." while installing your apps? Learn how the Creative Cloud installer fixes this issue automatically.

Why am I getting the message "Creative Cloud installer has found missing Windows components."?

When installing your Creative Cloud apps, you may receive a message saying, "Creative Cloud installer has found missing Windows components. Your app installation will continue once the components are installed." This issue occurs because some components might be missing from your Windows system. 

How do I fix this?

You don't have to take any action to complete the installation. The Creative Cloud installer downloads and installs these missing components automatically on your system. As a result, Creative Cloud apps might take longer than usual to install. 

So, we request you to be patient until the download is complete, and your Creative Cloud apps are ready to be used.
