I had it but it wasn't working (nothing started when I touched the complication) so I deleted the app. Now I can't find it in the app store :(

Thank you @luke240 and @dustinrouillard, I used the control-option-shift, wait 7 seconds and hit the power button trick and that worked. I'll update my feedback. It isn't just the System Prefs that get messed up by this either. There are some other cases where MacOS was asking for my password and that was failing.

After removing a bunch of apps and their extensions I was able to do the install. Sorry, I didn't keep a full list of the stuff I removed. I haven't done a clean install in 5+ years so there was a lot of cruft. I removed WebEx, Zoom and Citrix among others. I suspect something I removed from /Library/LaunchDaemons or /Library/LaunchAgents did the trick.

Same problem. 2018 15" MacBook Pro i9 running the latest Catalina beta.
There is a lot of stuff on my MacBook including HomeBrew, Adobe CC, Pulse VPN. Before trying to upgrade I created a new Volume and installed Catalina beta on it and installed Pulse VPN because that is the only thing I really need to work. Then I upgraded to Big Sur. No problem, VPN worked so it isn't Pulse. I thought that would be the only thing to cause problems. Oh well, time to wait for beta 2.
Same is true for the 2019 11" iPad Pro
Same for me. 2019 11" iPad Pro that had beta 1 installed on it. I'll wait for the next beta I guess since I don't see any solution.
sudo mount -u -o rw /Then remove the directory. I was able to create a directory in root, haven't tried removing one that way.I'd reboot after you're done (root will be remounted RO)

The release notes mention a problem with disapearing files and suggest the workaround is to go to the restore option on icloud.com. Don't know if you are running into that but thought I'd mention that.https://support.apple.com/kb/PH27917?locale=en_US

Just tried it and it worked (deleted 40 files). I haven't upgraded iCloud yet though since my day to day Mac isn't on the beta (yet)

Thanks everyone. No idea what's going on but still broken after removal and attempted re-install. I'll wait for the next release and do a clean install if it is still broken. Usually I'm the one that everything works and I wonder why all those other people are having problems 😉At this point I have to give this beta a C- score. Not the absolutely worst first major release beta I've used from Apple over 5+ years but in second place at this point. I'm not even going to tempt fate by installing iOS 13 on my iPhone until the public beta.

Thanks. I removed the prior install and tried to re-install everything. Same result as before I removed it, It gets to exactly 43% and holds there without complaint or forward progress and very little CPU or disk IO usage. I don't see any obvious errors in the Console. Maybe it will get magically fixed in next beta or Adobe will notice this thread and/or already know about problems.

I just posted on a different thread but same problem so far but it's trying to re-download 35K images because it thinks the whole library is out of sync. I'll let it go for another day. Sometimes during these betas I have to start over with a new library (delete library, reboot, empty trash, start photos).

I didn't get this internal error (yet) but on my 2012 MacBook Air photos is still syncing the library and having trouble doing so, saying it has to re-download the 35K images I have in it. Maybe I'll bump into this error once it finishes. I'll update here if that is the case.A few times in the past, I've had to delete the whole library, reboot and re-sync the whole thing (150G or so) with iCloud after it creates a new blank library. These early betas seem to have issues with iCloud photos more often than not. Maybe it's because I have an unsually large library. The good news is that I've never lost photos (and, of course, have a number of backups).
