= Only Photoshop (folder products), vc ++ library (folder Runtime) and installer (folder HDCore) are installed, but not CC (and not AAM).

 

For offline install, disable the Internet and run Set-up.exe (after installation, enable the internet).

@Drazick Hi! Try Revo Uninstaller OR Soft Organizer OR Iobit Uninstaller, and use their force uninstall functions to uninstall completely and remove any trace. Then you can reinstall what is needed. Hope this helps

I found by going into task manager (or equivalent) and looking at the list of processes associated with PS, right click the process to "file location".
Test the file by renaming it (don't forget where and what the original name is!), then try running PS. If it starts- well done. If not- restore the file. This works for me; crude maybe, but it works. Uninstall whatever you've deemed is unnecessary bloat.

Orrrr, since you have a CC account, just ask the adobe peeps how to remove CC
