Dreamweaver Update CS6 12.0 to 12.3

Question

Hi, I'm trying to update Dreamweaver cs6 12.0 to 12.3.
Downloaded and run the update file from Adobe.
The progress bar just flows quite quick and no update is performed.
Any ideas please would be fantastic, thank you.

If you're still having problems with getting Dreamweaver CS6 to update, I'm afraid that you will probably have to go through the following steps:
1. Take a back-up of your user configuration folders for Dreamweaver CS6 as well as Dreamweaver CC.
2. Uninstall Dreamweaver CS6
3. Uninstall Dreamweaver CC
4. Reboot your machine
5. Quit Adobe Creative Cloud (ACC) desktop app (if already running)
6. Launch ACC and install Dreamweaver CS6
7. Quit and re-launch ACC (for the updates for CS6 to show up)
8. Try to update Dreamweaver CS6
9. Install Dreamweaver CC from ACC
10. Quit and re-launch ACC (for the updates for CC to show up)
11. Try to update Dreamweaver CC
After updating, Dreamweaver CS6 should be version 12.2, not 12.3.
The explanation provided by an Adobe engineer is "when DW CC was updated, the payload of DW CC also updated the DW CS6 payload. So when DW CS6 was trying to update, the payload information was being retrieved as already upgraded and hence the update was failing.... The update system is designed to behave independent of the order in which software is updated. But sometimes, unexpectedly it so happens that the updates fail. So it is better to update the older versions first and then updating the current version (to be on a safer side)."
