Another angle is if the user is trying to avoid the Creative Cloud activation. Adobe uses a license tied to macOS (if on a Mac) or Windows, so a portable version wouldn't work around that unless it's pirated, which isn't an option I can support.
There's also the possibility that "19" refers to a version number. Photoshop CC 2018 was version 19.0, so maybe that's where the "19" comes in. But that's just a version name.
They might be looking for an offline installer. Adobe does provide offline installers, but users need an active subscription. So if the user has a subscription, they can download it from Creative Cloud. If they don't, that's a problem.
I should also check if Adobe offers any portable versions. From what I know, Adobe doesn't distribute portable versions of Photoshop. The only official way is through the Creative Cloud app. Maybe the user isn't aware that they can use Creative Cloud to manage their installation, or they might not have a license.
