Adobe Installer fails to install CS4 11.0.2 update
Hi,
I have a problem with updating photoshop CS4 to 11.0.2 under Windows 7. The installer seems to do the installation but the version number on the splash screen stays at 11.0.1 AND the Adobe updater keeps telling me that I need to install 11.0.2.
I have tried downloading the update directly and installing it with no success. I have tried to run the updater exe as administrator and all I get is a report that the upgrade has already been installed, but the version number reported by photoshop is still 11.0.1.
Also - I have tried running the update from within photoshop with administrator rights and it still does not work. There is no instance of bridge running in background (I have checked the processes list).
I have searched the threads here but there does not seem to be an answer.
Any suggestions anyone?
Okay, so my next question is: Do you have write access to the Photoshop installation folder tree(s)?
Even though you may be an administrator on your computer, Windows 7 does not normally grant you administrative privileges. Through the feature called UAC (User Access Control) your privileges can be temporarily elevated. It is possible that this process was not invoked properly during the initial Photoshop installation, and thus the installation area and/or registry protections have not been updated so that the latest Photoshop installer can change things successfully.
You can try temporarily lowering the UAC level and see if the updater can complete its task.
1. Click Start, and type UAC into the search box.
2. When Change user account control settings comes up, click it.
3. Make note of the current setting, then lower the setting to "Never notify". At the "Never notify" setting you are granted administrator privileges full time.
4. This normally requires a reboot. Do so.
5. Try the Photoshop 11.0.2 update again.
6. Return UAC settings to default (recommended).

Adobe AIR fails during install
21.5" intel iMac, 10.6.1, 4GB RAM, CS4 Premium new install - upgrade from CS2.
CS4 successfully installed to laptop.
iMac <easy installation> timed out several times during install, the first time trying to install Adobe AIR. System setup transferred from previous machine, including CS2 apps, settings, etc.
This is a replacement iMac for a defective unit returned 5 days ago. Was able to install CS4 on defective machine minus transfered user info, applications, data. (Prior to return to Apple CS4 was deactivated, SN removed. Subsequent launch of PS into trial mode confirmed.)
After quitting the app installer several times discovered the dialogue box below was hidden by installer box. Clicking "OK" allowed process to continue.
CS4 is now installed and updated, but I don't know which apps the dialogue box was referring to, or if this requires a solution.I did not find automatic graphics switching, but after several failed attempts of trying to install it, it eventually installed.

Every PATCH installation fails after installing Windows Updates
Hello,
I want to report an issue which I think is a Windows bug introduced by one of the Windows updates (unfortunately I wasn't able to find out which one of them).
Here is the test case:
1. install a fresh copy of Windows on a test machine
2. install all available Windows Updates (so the system is up to date)
3. create a sample MSI installer which only installs some dummy files (let's say Product Version 1.0.0) and host it on a web server
4. install the MSI from the online location using a command line like this:
msiexec /i http://server/share/package.msi
5. create a .MSP patch (e.g. v1.0.1) which only adds a new file to v1.0.0
6. install the v1.0.1 patch
RESULT: the patch installation fails with the following error message: "The filename , directory name , or volume label syntax is incorrect"
NOTES:
1. the issue was replicated on Windows 7 and 8 machines UP TO DATE
2. the issue is not replicated on a fresh installation of Windows without Updates applied
Is there anyone aware of what could cause this error? Once again the patch installation fails only on Windows machines with the latest Updates installed.
Thx,

When I attempt to perform the requested updates, I get the above error. The link to the support adviser says it is no longer supported and refers me here. The updater shows a half dozen things needing updating but always fails with that error. Just migrated my products (CS5/LR/DW) to a new Win7Pro PC.
I even manually downloaded and installed all the updates I could find but I still get asked to do about a half dozen updates and every time I run the update it downloads the updates and then fails to install them.

Why does app mgr "fail to install" when it tries to update itself?
I have reinstalled the app mgr, as instructed on the CC web site, as it was supposedly corrupted (although it worked fine a couple of hours ago). Whenever I try to download PS CC, the app mgr goes through trying to update itself and "fails to install," so I can't even begin to download any other app. (Running Windows 7 on a Dell laptop, 64-bit. I have several CS6 apps.)
Arpit,
There is no app mgr in the Control Panel list of programs; it is gone. (Of
course, I've purchased the LR 5 upgrade, and it is not on the list either,
though it is installed, not from the Cloud, and seems to work.) There is a
newly downloaded app mgr 7.0 shortcut on my desktop, but it can't find the
program itself. There's an app mgr updater that runs its course; but since
the app can't be found, it's hard to know what it is updating. Trying to
download anything (even just the Creative Cloud desktop connection) from
the web site doesn't work--clicking a download button produces nothing at
all, not even an error message.
CC Cleaner does not give an option to clean the CC items without also
working on CS6 apps. I do NOT want to risk losing or corrupting my various
CS6 apps or the data associated with them.
My Cloud files are still fine, but I can't upload anything new or download
anything that's there.
There really needs to be a solution to this situation that does not require
large transfers of data or the risk of losing older (and functioning)
programs. -
Blank "Installer Alert" while installing CS4
I saw this problem with CS3 users while installing Adobe
programs with Safari 3 Beta but I have the full version of Safari
3. How can I install it without this alert?Harbs just pointed me to an excellent blog post that gives me hope there will eventually be light at the end of the Installer tunnel in CS5, btw. Others might take heart from it too. I'm including a quick quote from the start of it to whet your appetite. It definitely deserves wider distribution!
Adobe Updater Approach
Adobe's updater technology through CS4 is known as the Adobe Update
Manager (AUM.) AUM has a long history of various problems. Our user
community has been vocal about the number and types of problems
experienced through AUM. In the next instance of the Creative Suite, we
intend to provide a different update experience that should address a
number of the most egregious problems discussed thus far. In particular:
Failure of an update to successfully apply to a user's system
Failure to adequately roll back a partial or failed update, thus leaving the user's system in an unusable state
The update process interferes with users trying to get their own work done
When we started out the design for the new Adobe Updater we set a few simple goals:
Make the Adobe Updater install the updates successfully and if the
updater fails, ensure whatever was installed as part of updater is
rolled back and the machine is back to its orginal state.
Make the Adobe Updater non-intrusive. The Adobe Updater should not
interfere with the user's tasks by poping dialogs in middle of your
extremely critical workflows. It will not be an in your face
application.
Make sure the Adobe Updater when running does not hog your CPU cycles.
Using the Adobe Updater should be a pleasant experience.
Checking for updates is silent and the notification for available updates is clean and unobtrusive.
Provide ways for system administrators to turn-off updates completly.
Secondarily, we also want to enable easier management of updates by
system administrators. -
