Can't open raw with lumix gx1 elements 9

Question

Hi Group,
Windows 7, Elements 9   Panasonic lumix gx1
I tried acr 6.5 but it won't open the lumix raw files.  One site I found said that this camera needs 6.6 but that update failed.  I don't won't to update to elements 10 as I see no reason to do this.  Does anyone know what or if it's possible to get these files to open in Elements 9?
Thanks,
Michael

I finally downloaded the coverter.  I refuse to buy Elements 10 when there is nothing new that I need.  Maybe 11 when I see what it does but I doubt it.  The coverter works just fine. Michael

Actually, the problem is that Adobe seems to be wanting to force their users into purchasing otherwise unnecessary upgrades.  I, too, use Elements 9, and it does everything I need...except read the RAW files from my new GX-1. Yes, I can download the DNG converter (and I have), but that adds an extra, and unnecessary, step to processing.  Adobe's reputation for not respecting their customers isn't unwarranted.
