Lightroom 6: ERROR: DW021 - Fails to install from DVD

I have encountered two ERRORS that are familiar to other posters; however, in my case, I have tried to setup from the DVD that I just purchased, not from the cloud. I do wonder about the capabilities of the low-end computer that I would be using (works fine for PShop elements 12). Specs for my box are: Pentium N3700 @ 1.60GHz with 4.00 GB of RAM, 64-bit OS, Windows 10. Thanks in advance to anyone with a suggestion!

You can download Lightroom 6 from this page:

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-downloads.html

Try installing it from there and let me know if it works.

No luck downloading - or even having a clue as to the problem:

Also would not install in older but better CPU - stalled at 6% and the only change thereafter was the time to install. I finally quit when that numbered grew to 224 minutes.

Looks like you're trying to install the CC version (Lightroom Classic). In which case you need to install the Creative Cloud desktop app to avoid that error https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud

If what you're looking for is Lightroom 6, make sure you download the Lightroom 6 installer.

Hey Tom,

I looks like you're trying to install the wrong thing.

Do this:

1. Click this link: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-downloads.html

2. Scroll down to this link and click the blue ">" symbol like this:

Image https//d2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnet/s3_images/1690668/RackMultipart20180109-4938-1ourrlj-Download_Photoshop_Lightroom_inlinepng1515535119

3. Scroll down until you see this:

Image https//d2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnet/s3_images/1690669/RackMultipart20180109-124885-yc992j-Download_Photoshop_Lightroom_2_inlinepng1515535183

4. Click the Lightroom 6.14 link

Let us know if that works.

Thanks, but I have tried this already. When I extract the package I see an application, AdobePatchInstaller, and a file, "payloads". I doubleclick the application, which creates an application of the same name, but different icon, and another "payload" file. I doubleclick the new application and get this: Image https//d2r1vs3d9006apcloudfrontnet/s3_images/1690674/RackMultipart20180109-112854-1e6rl2r-image_inlinepng1515536022

This makes some sense to me, non-tekkie that I am, because there is no Lightroom installed that a patch can operate upon, or so my simple reasoning goes.

OK... my bad!

The link to the Lr 6 installer is at the top of the page. I breezed right past it!

Looks like this:

After that is installed then you can do the upgrades.
