CC, CC 64 Bit, and CC 2014? WTF?

It's bad enough Adobe can't figure out how to make the same features in one program work the same in a different program. To top it off, instead of improving what are now "apps" and integrating we now have more new programs to do the same thing (e.g. not just one for website creation, not just one for photos, not just one for illustrations, not just one for animation, etc...) and to top it off again they get rid of important programs like Soundbooth, and stop upgrading ones we need like Encore. I am beginning to think the CC is for Creative Chaos not Creative Cloud....
So, I uninstalled my CS5 master suite finally and moved presumably up to CC. But, now do I not only have more than one program to do the same thing more now I also have 3 of each! Wow! That's STUPID. Sorry, I hate using that word, but what in the hell?
Why is it when I go to my programs I have a CC version, a CC 64 bit, and now new to the Creative Chaos we have CC 2014 versions!!!! What? Really? Someone, please help me maintain my sanity. Before I realized it I was using Premiere CC then I inadvertantly started using CC 2014. Then I was like "something is missing, oh, wait, what? there's more than one version of premiere in CC???" Then I realized "oh, there's 3 of Illustrator, Photoshop, and inDesign?
I of course have a 64 bit system, so should I only use the 64 bit versions and just delete the shortcuts to the others? and when there isn't a 64bit version but instead just a CC and a CC2014 version, which do I use? I mean, I assume the CC 2014. But, in 2014 will something change, will I be like "damn it, I should have been using the CC not the CC2014"?
Adobe, please clean up all your software, boil it down to just the ones we need, we don't need more than one program to do THE SAME THING. and once you boil it down, don't give us three versions of it, ask "do you want the 64 bit version or the 32" and we'll be happy to download precisely what we need. Or better yet, figure out a way to make it work with one program. And, of course while you're at it combine the CC and CC XXXX version of each, WTF???

32bit programs are installed for those people who use plugins that have not been updated to 64bit
CC and CC2014 have different source code bases, so they are different programs

I appear to have three different versions of photoshop Cc on my computer. They are Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (64 bit) and Photoshop 2014. Am I able to remove the first two without affecting the preformance of the last version?

Help as this is all taking up so much space on my computer.

It is okay to remove the ones you do not need as they are not dependent on one another. If any problems arise afterwards you can post here again to get help.

3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC

I'm new to all of this CC business. Can anyone tell me why there are 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC. Thanks,

They are different versions and provided to offer a maximum level of compatibility in case anyone uses plug-ins or peripherals that may not be compatible with the latest 2014 version. Feel free to remove unneeded/ unwanted stuff if you don't fall into that category. Otherwise just leave everything in place - uninstalling and potential reinstalls could make more of a mess than freeing up a gigabyte on your harddrive may be worth...

Problem using Illustrator CS5 and CC 2014 in same PC

Hi,
I am developing some Illustrator scripts using VBScript, which should work on CS5, CS6 or CC 2014. When the scripts will be called, the user will pass, as command line argument, which Illustrator version they want to use. Accordingly I am instantiating the appropriate Illustrator scripting object by the following code:
If version = 1 Then
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CS5")
ElseIf version = 2 Then
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CS6")
ElseIf version = 3 Then
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CC.2014")
Else
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
End if
This is working correctly in one system where CS5 and CC 2014 are both installed. However, in another similar system, where CS5 and CC 2014 are both installed, this is failing. There, always the CC 2014 version is being used, even when the user wants to use CS5. On inspection it is found that the issue is with registry entry of LocalServer32 subkey of the Illustrator.Application.CS5 automation object. There I see, the path of CC 2014 executable is stored, not that of CS5. The value is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 (32 Bit)\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe /automation. Hence, the statement CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CS5") is actually starting the CC 2014 Illustrator version.
Does anyone know how this could have happened? Is this some installation behavior of CS5 or CC 2014, that can be controlled? In this machine CC 2014 was installed after CS5. Does CC 2014 change the registry settings of CS5, if it was installed? That seems very unlikely, as then how can one use both CS5 and CC 2014 in a system through scripts? It is possible that this is a one-off case where the registry entries have been "accidentally" changed. However, I would like to be sure.
I can re-install CS5 in this system where the issue is noted and probably the problem will go away. However, the scripts may be used in many different installations and I cannot possibly ask users to reinstall Illustrator everywhere. Moreover, this problem can occur sometimes in the future too.
Any suggestion regarding the cause and a possible full-proof solution will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Joydeep Ray

are you referring to the audio meters panel? im on windows, and i can right click the meters panel and get options for "dynamic peaks". there are audio effects, from the effects panel if thats what you are looking for? i have one named "Dynamics" as well as several compressors.

How can I check to see whether I have 32-bit or 64-bit Photoshop CC (2014) installed?

After many errors with updates to the new 2014 version of Adobe applications, I finally got things updated. After all the dust has settled, I can't tell whether the 64 or 32 bit applications actually installed in the updates, meaning when I go into Photoshop and click "About Photoshop", I don't see "64-bit" anywhere on the information screen. I do have 64-bit Windows 8, and the previous versions of Adobe applications were 64-bit, where available. But after the update, in the Cloud application, there is no (64-bit) after the 2014 versions. When I check Windows Explorer, the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders appear to be a mess.
Does this appear to be a normal directory list for someone with 64-bit Windows 8?
Thanks for the information.

Hello Damonopolisticalitarian,
in my file manager I can see it like this too:
To check your system (maybe not necessary, because you know it ) you could use How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system

I have mac OS X, Photoshop CC 64 bit and and i would like to run 32 bit plugins.. How may I do this ?

As said already by JJMack, you cannot do that.
Photoshop CS6, CC & CC 2014 only install a 64-bit version on Mac OS.
Photoshop CS5 installs a version that can launch in either 32 bit or 64 bit when you install on a 64-bit version of Mac OS (Mac OS X 10.5 or later). If you are using Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier, then Photoshop only installs the 32-bit version.
Photoshop CS4 installs a 32-bit version only.
64-bit OS benefits, limitations

LV Driver - Installation - LV32 bit and LV 64- bit

Hi,
I am making build spec for LV driver, I did the following experiment,
Experiment,
Create a installer on LV2014 32 bit
2. Path for source destination:
C:\Program Files(x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib
Now, I install this driver on another system having LV2014(64 bit) and now it takes path
C:\Program Files(x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib and install my driver into it.
it creates a specifed path and put drivers there, it dont care that LV32 bit is not present on system.
Result
My drivers are not present in function palate Instrument I/O section but if I copy this to
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib, It works fine.
Experement 2: if I change the proper path for 64 bit during installtion(so called at step 3 if Exoeriement 1) following is the result
My questions are,
How can make driver installer user friendly for both 32 and 64 bit LV user?
Is there any solution that installer will take path automatically with respect to LV 32bit or LV 64 bit (whichever is present)?
Is it mandatory to appear driver in Instrument IO function palate, it must be present in instr folder ? What if I want to choose any other folder to install this this driver and still want to make appear my drivers in Instrument I/O Function palette ??
Thank you.
-Amit

Hi
thank you all for answers
@Dennis : Agee with with you to use a regular solution for distrubuting drivers.
@natasftw: just tired and enconter this when I was installing this on LV - 64bit system

Upgrading from Elements to CC: can I access both CC and CC 2014 as a Cloud member?

I have been using PSE 9 for several years. I am ready to bite the bullet and upgrade but have a question. If I sign-up for Photoshop CC will I be able to install the original CC version or will I only be able to install CC 2014? I am interested in the oil paint filter capability that was removed in CC 2014.

Cloud members have access to CS6, CC and CC 2014. You can install all these versions together at any time and run them at any time.
Many people keep CC installed alongside CC 2014 just to access the Oil Paint Filter in CC.

Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
Thanks.

Hi Alejandro,
That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
Thanks
