Close a conflicting application or process

When you install or update an Adobe app, such as Photoshop CC, running applications or processes can interfere and cause the installation to stop temporarily.

For example, you could see an error message such as the following:

  • "Please close the following application/process to continue: - LogTransport2,".
  • "Please save your work and close the following programs, then click Continue:"

It's necessary to close the conflicting app or process before you can continue with the installation or update. To do so, select your operating system on the tabs below.
