Problems while using Adobe Drive on macOS Sierra

Installing on macOS Sierra

Adobe Drive versions 5.0.3 and earlier fail to install on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and returns the following error message:

Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.

Choosing to download the Adobe Support Advisor fails as well, because that utility has been discontinued.

Upgrading to macOS Sierra

If you have Adobe Drive version 5.0.3 or earlier installed on your computer, and you upgrade to macOS Sierra, even though the application launches, you're unable to connect to a digital asset management system. The following error message is returned:

Workaround

If you are running a version of Adobe Drive affected by this issue, remain on your current Mac OS X version and do not update to macOS 10.12 (Sierra).
