Can't get Creative Suite Builder SDK to show up

I downloaded the Creative Suite SDK unzipped it.  I am using Flash Builder 4 on Windows but I tried on Mac too.  From the Preferences Install/Update section I clicked Add Site and pointed to the folder "CreativeSuiteSDK" that was in the contents of the .zip file and named my site "CS SDK".  It doesn't complain but I do not get CS Extension Builder to show up in Window > Perspective > Other even after restarting Flash Builder 4. If I go back into Preferences Install/Update section and click the "Test Connection" button on the "CS SDK" site I get the following error:
"No repository found at file:/C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/CreativeSuiteSDK-1.0.0/CreativeSuiteSDK/."
Help!

After seeing Ian Paterson's presentation about developing with LCDS and Extension Builder in CS products I was excited to start learning since I have a lot of experience with LCDS, Flex, and ColdFusion as a back end server.   I Googled how to get started.  I landed on this page:
http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/sdk/1.0/docs/WebHelp/getting_started/developing.htm
It describes how to install the EB plugin but frequently refers to the CS SDK.  It provides no download links to either, so I Googled for the download.  I landed on this page to download the SDK.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/sdk/eula_cs5.html
After attempting to follow the instructions in the SDK Developing guide in the first link using the bits downloaded from the second link, I ran into this "No Repository" issue which frustrated me for a while:
http://twitpic.com/2fxfbi
After more researching, I landed on the page that I probably should have started with:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/sdk/
There, it lists the CS SDK side by side with the EB.  The EB appears to not be publicly available, but rather only to Adobe Partners and/or those in the "Enterprise Developer" program.  Fortunately, I can log in as a Partner, but only to be greeted with a main welcome page, and I have no idea how to find or download EB from the Partner portal.
The point of my post here is to say that I think Adobe can do a much better job describing the differences between CS SDK and EB in all the related documentation, guides, and readme's, and where to get the download.  To those just learning the topic this seems to be an initial obstacle.  Many (all?) of the guides do not provide a clear download location for where to get either.   They refer to the download, but don't help you find it, at all, e.g. "To install the Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder,   download the ZIP file and unzip it into a root location"
I own Adobe Creative Suite CS 5 Master Collection.  I own Flex Builder 4 (ships with CS5 MC).  I own ColdFusion Builder.  Why don't I have clear and immediate access to obtaining the Adobe CS Extension Builder?
Does Adobe want developers to build cool, enterprise level, distributed applications for Creative Suite or not?  Make it easier.
Thank you.

It only seems fitting that this post end with a sheesh.
Sheesh!!

  • Can't install creative suite 5.5

    I can't install Creative Suite 5.5 on a PC running Windows 7.  Have tried twice but keep getting "Your installation encountered errors".  The most recent time shows 2 error messages:
    ERROR: DS011: No media information provided for removable source location
    ERROR: DW013: Cannot initialize payload session
    Any suggestions?

    OK, I figured out how to get the install log - on my latest (3rd) attempt to install (and between each time powering down and back on again before trying to install again), I got the same 2 errors messages as indicated in my original post.  The Install Log is as follows:

  • Please Help.  I can't uninstall Creative Suite 1.1

    Hi,
    I'm trying to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite through Programs and Features in Windows Vista, but everytime I try to uninstall it, I get an error right after I double click on the Adobe Creative Suite to unistall it.  This is the error that comes up immediately.
    "Adobe Creative Suite Installer 1.1 has stopped working"
    "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    The Creative suite was bought years ago throug Adobe.  I've removed everything else adobe in the uninstall program, but can't uninstall this Creative Suite. Is there another option for removing it?  Do I need to manually remove the folders and registry entries?  If so, does anyone have any info they could give me to help?
    Thanks!  And again, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    -Chris

    Hi Michael,
    Sorry, I should have mentioned that I did try using the Microsoft Installer Clean Up tool but once it was installed, I did not see anything with Adobe in there.  The Adobe Creative Suite file does still show up in the uninstall programs screen.  Also, I did check the adobe file folder and the program files are there and have not been deleted or uninstalled.
    Anyone else have any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Chris

    You cannot install CS5.5 Windows onto your Mac.
    You must either purchase a new copy of CS6 for your Mac or join the Creative Cloud (and pay the monthly fee).
    If you join the Cloud you can then install CS6 (and soon version CC) on both your Mac and Windows for the same membership fee.

    Apple have not announced any such plans. It was the same during the whole MobileMe period from 2008 - 2012, so it doesn't seem to be a high priority issue for Apple.
