I have tried this, but when starting the application manager it again says it is corrupt. Now what?

Keith the information JairajMike requested is still valid. In addition what other Adobe Creative software do you have installed?

Hi,
I have since uninstalled all of the CS 6 apps and logged into https://creative.adobe.com/apps to try and install the apps I need. When I click on a download link nothing happens, so at the monent I cannot install anything. I am running Windows 7 on Parallels desktop, with Mac OS as the host. I've used this setup before with no issues installing CS 6 from creative cloud.
Attached is a screenshot of what happens when trying to use the Application Manager.

So Keith do you have any other Adobe Creative software currently installed on your Parallels virtual machine running Windows 7? Also are you able to install the applications successfully in the host Mac OS operating system?

I still have the acrobat reader and flash player plugin installed in the VM, but didn't consider them part of CS. It works fine on the host.

Ok that is hopeful then. Keith please remove any currently installed Adobe Creative Applications using the Programs and Features control panel. Once that is done you can then follow up with CS Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal. You can find information on how to download and use the CS Cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Prior to reinstalling the Adobe Application Manager please remove the following directories:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\
The AppData folder is an invisible folder btw so if you are unable to locate the folder please adjust your view options to view hidden files and folders.

Ok, tried all that, and deleted every Adobe folder I could find and ran CCleaner to clean up the registry. Still have same issue. When I get back into office tomorrow I will try it on another Windows machine to see if it works there. However I suspect something in the Application Manager has changed so that it no longer works in a VM.

It could also have to do with the virtual machine and how Parallels is passing over the network data. What applications are you planning on using in the VM btw? I have installed our software several times on VMs, I use VMs to test install issues regularly, and while I can get the software to install the applications are not very functional due to not having direct access to the physical hardware.

I need to get Flash Builder installed on the VM so that I can compile an AIR app for Windows. The Mac is my dev machine since it is best suited for iOS & Android development.
I opened the Application Manager on another Windows workstation this morning and it worked fine, so I'm thinking something in the recent Application Manager updates has broke it from working on my VM. Like I stated earlier, I have used the VM setup to install Flash Builder 4.6 orginally, but now need FB 4.7 installed. Currently it keeps failing saying that it is corrupt and must be reinstalled.
I found a troubleshooting doc on the Adobe web site and went thru all the tests regaring network connections and it passed all of those tests. Is it possible to revert to an older AAM?

No even if you installed an older version you would be updated to the current one as soon as you access the Internet. Do you have another Windows VM which you can test?
We have already tried removing everything Adobe related in message #8 so I am unsure what else to advise at this point. The next steps would be to review the DLM logs but I am not sure how far you want to go to get this VM working.
The Download Manager logs are located in %temp%\AdobeDownloads\.

Hello,
Well, we can try a little more if your're willing. The logs you mentioned have some interesting clues. The below is what is logged upon starting the AAM (I omitted the keys):

Keith I would recommend contacting our support team at this point for direct assistance with your DLM logs. Feel free to reference this thread when contacting our support team. You can reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.

Chat support is useless as it is constantly busy and unavailable. I removed the VM and installed a fresh new one; got the same problem, so it is definitely something that Adobe has broken in the AAM.

Or it could be Parallels which is causing a communication failure. At this point though Keith I am sorry but I don't have any additional suggestions to offer in this venue. I would be happy to review your case if you can post your case number after working with our support team.
You may also want to be aware of Technical support boundaries for virtualized or server-based environments - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/technical-support-boundaries-virtualized-or.html. Our support team may be able to still review your DLM logs and provide specific suggestions.

Ok I finally got thru to chat support and they pretty much refused to help. I read thru the document link you posted and don't see anything that says installation of Adobe products is not supported, but I certainly understand that functionality under a VM cannot be guaranteed. What I would at least like to see on Adobe's part is to offer a way to install the product I need using a stand alone installer.

Keith you can install many of the CS6 trials and choose the License this Software option.
Also what is your case number from your interaction with our support team?

Thank you Jeff i will try that. I didn't keep a record of the case or did I get an email transcript.

Well, while wanting to install just InDesign CS6 on a Paralels virtual machine, I ran into exactly the same problem. The funny thing is, I was able to install the entire Creative Suite from Creative CLoud about half a year ago, without a single problem.
Since I am a Creative Cloud subscriber, I tried the chat as well. Was connected pretty quickly, but as soon as I said Parallels Virtual Machine, the lid was closed, as I "was in violation of the Lincense agreement". It's much like the whole "you can't work from a server share" discussion.
I have managed to install InDesign from the single downloader and Licensed the software, but now I can't run any update because the Updates are taken care of by the Adobe Application Manager.
Anyone have any clues? Anyone have it running in Parallels 8 with Windows 7?

Dominik Hoffmann are the errors in your installation log identical to what Keith posted in message #13? Are you also attempting to install the Creative Cloud on a Windows 7 virtual machine using Parallels 8? Did you try reinstalling the Adobe Application Manager as suggested by JairajMike in message #1?

Even though I am not Dominik, I can say I have exactly the same errors as posted by Keith in Message #13. And yes I did try to re-install AAM. I even erased the virtual machine, started over from scratch, and made SURE that the FIRST thing I installed after running all available updates in Windows, was the AAM from the link in post #1.
The only thing I haven't tried because I just don't have the hard drive space to spare is installing Boot camp and trying from there.
At this point I don't think anything is going to happen untill a new version of AAM comes out.

I followed the instructions of an Adobe chat adviser. Those instructions included reinstalling the AAM. I never did look at my logs.
In the end, the adviser suggested I download the trial versions of the software I needed to use and activate them using my Adobe ID. This has worked.
However, for the benefit of this thread, I'd be happy to look up the log file. Not being a Windows person, I am not sure, what %temp% is shorthand for. In other words, where exactly will I find the relevant log file?
