Lightroom 5 CC launch issue

Hi i recently built a new hex core Haswell-E stsyem and of course re installed windows 8.

After installing Adobe Creative Cloud and installing both PS and LR, nither of the apps launch when i click on the shortcut for the respected apps.

No error dialogs or anyhing appears at all.

I even tried to re install the whole creative cloud app and re downloading and installing PS and LR again through there and no joy.

I then tried to manually download a copy of LR on its own from adobe and that installed and launched fine!

However, i cant get it to connect and use my Creative Cloud sub as the LR i downloaded manually from Adobe only allows you to enter a CD key or do a trial?

Is there anyway to get LR and PS working on Creative cloud? i am paying for a sub for the photography edition that was launched a while ago and now unable to use it!

I advise uninstalling everything and starting with the link that Adobe sent you for installation. I think that's what I did to get it to work. Note that I am using a Mac and the digital download version from Amazon.

I started with the Lightroom trial and had no issues signing into my Adobe ID when I signed up for the Photography package. Technically there is no Lightroom CC. It's the same Lightroom. The only difference is the license is either a CC license or standalone.
Have you tried contacting Adobe? What happens if you right-click on the shortcut and open that way? Have you tried opening as an Administrator (from right-click menu)?
