I am also experiencing this issue after using the creative cloud packager, installing the following applications.
Bridge
Acrobat
Photoshop
Illustrator
Indesign
English (US) as the language
Windows 7 Pro x64
When I run the installer package, about 5 min into the install explorer.exe stops working ( i.e the desktop background and icons are gone).
I do not receive a windows crash error, because explorer.exe is crashed....as if that wasn't obvious enough.
However when I restore explorer.exe from Taskmanager > new task > explorer.exe I see the software install has completed, there are no errors present, and the softwares work.
something in this installer package is killing explorer.exe.
Let me know if you need a log or something.
