Thanks so much for the info.  I had older versions of CS software and after downloading Acrobat X Pro from my Creative Cloud membership and then deleting the old CS software, it stated it was installed but no where to be found but app mgr saying it was installed. Downloading it again now.

This worked perfectly for me. I renamed the Media_db and Pdb files, went to the Creative Cloud web page, clicked to download Acrobat X, Application Manager opened and downloaded/installed Acrobat. If anyone else does this - make sure you quit your web browser before the Application Manager reaches the installation phase. If you don't and message will pop up telling you to quit your browser.

I now have all of the CS6 apps successfully installed. EXCELLENT!

This "solution" (i.e. hack) worked for me, with one exception. After you rename the files and re-install Acrobat X Pro, now the Adobe Application Manager app will no longer recognize any other Creative Cloud components you had previously installed as being already installed. I had Photoshop and a bunch of others installed but after renaming those files they all show up with "Install" next to them instead of "Installed". The solution was to, after re-installing Acrobat, re-re-name the *original* Media-pdb and pdb files back to the original names. In other words, don't throw out those files before you start this process, name them something like "Media_pdb_OLD.db", then restore to original name when done. Then, the Application Manager will recognize which apps are installed again (including Acrobat X Pro, which it already thought was installed during the initial screwup).

Ugh. Come on, Adobe, please fix this. Not something that absolutely killed me, but that's 30 minutes of my day/life I'll never get back.

Same with me...Shame to Adobe. I have wasted over 90 mins of my life just to download and delete and download again, but still not work!! I'm really in the cloud now!!
