I am a fairly new user of CC. I have mostly used Lightroom but started up Photoshop a couple of times, though not for a few months. Yesterday I hit Command-E from Lightroom on my Mac to use Photoshop's content-aware fill, but got a box saying "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." I found that if I just waited a long time (like five minutes or so), a box would eventually pop up that said "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched." But I also found that if I just launched Photoshop by double-clicking in the Finder, it would start up fine and would load the photo I was trying to work on.
So I used the Creative Cloud application to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop. Did this twice and still got the same behavior. Then I did a search and found an Adobe help page that said to remove the Locales folder and reinstall. I removed the Locales folder, but when I went back to Creative Cloud I could neither uninstall nor reinstall Photoshop as the CC application said "Waiting..." beside Photoshop. I waited for about half an hour and nothing happened. Then I discovered an uninstall application in the Photoshop CC directory so I tried that to uninstall. Now the CC app says something else (I can't recall exactly what and I had to come into work) but I still cannot either uninstall nor install Photoshop. I tried shutting down the CC app but when I restart it the situation is the same. I also tried signing out, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
