I can't reinstall Adobe Application Manager (AAM)

I have Adobe CS5 installed (and working) on my Mac Pro tower running Lion (10.7.5) with 3 Terabytes of disk and 14 Gigabytes of memory. However, somehow, Adobe Application Manager (AAM) was deleted -- perhaps my carelessness, though I do not remember how that might have been.
Now I can't install new software, uninstall CS5, or even reinstall AAM. If I download AAM and try to install it, the installer fails to initialize (a close paraphrase of the message that appears in the popup), and suggests I contact the manufacturer. I have done this and unfortunately the telephone support have (so far) been unable to fix the problem, despite significant time spent trying various things with me.
Does anyone out there have any ideas as to how I might proceed.
I should add that I have "Repaired permissions" (more than once) and even downloaded a fresh copy of Lion and reinstalled it. Nothing changed.
Thanks in anticipation your help.

I got a call back from Adobe this morning and we deleted a few folders and we were then able to install AAM. This then allowed Acrobat XI Pro to be installed with no problems. Screen shot of the relevant entries in Trash for information, but I am not sure where the folders were originally located.
AAMUpdater had one empty folder in it ("1.0"). AAMUpdateInventory had a folder "1.0" in it which contained a whole bunch of stuff -- 70 folders of Adobe stuff on various aps, extension manager, fonts, ... The "Application Manager" folder had seven folders and four files, and the "ApplicationManager" folder (note the absence of a space) had an empty AAMRefs folder only.
It all happened too quickly to make proper notes.

Can I uninstall Adobe Application Manager without hurting my current Adobe products?

I tried to download a trial of Muse and the Adboe Application Manager says it is corrupt.
If I uninstall, will this affect any of my currently "owned" Adobe programs?

Hi Randi,
You can certainly uninstall Adobe application manager without affecting any of the Adobe apps however I would advise you to download Adobe creative cloud instead of Application manager.
Please navigate to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and download the software which will help you to download Muse and other apps.
Thanks!

Can't open Adobe Application Manager with Maverick installed

Ever since I installed Maverick on my Mac when I try to access my Adobe Application Manager to intall any updates I just get the spinning wheel and it never opens. Anyone know what can be done?

Hi Urbander,
Welcome to the Community!
Which software's version have you installed on Mavericks?
If internet and firewall isn't blocking then this might be becase of Creative cloud files, please try the steps metioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launchin g-cc.html and see if it works.

Can't open Adobe Application Manager

Hi there! I have a problem. I'm trying to download Adobe Edge Animate, and if I've got it right i need Adobe Application Manager to download it. I have the Application Manager software on my computer but when I try to download Edge Animate from the Apps & Services page on Creative Cloud, nothing happens even though Application Manager is running.
I've done my best to see what's wrong, but I can't figure it out. When I check the processes page in the Task Manager I can see that Application Manager is running (process name: PDapp.exe *32) but still, it won't work. My computer is running Windows 7 64 bit.
Anyone who knows what to do?

Are you still seeing facing this problem.Quit browser and relaunch it. Now try again to Install Edge Animate from Apps & Services page.
Do revert if you still face any issue.

I've already got them all installed from CC-CS6. The application manager was the tool I used to upgrade in the past, but I can't find it! Thanks.

I downloaded the AAM to test out a trial for photoshop, but I decided no to (meaning there is no CS6 software on my computer, nor any Adobe program of any kind besides Flash Player and Reader and basic programs like that).
No matter how many times I try the cleanser download, nothing works. Please help, I've been searching for a soultion but can't find one that works.

Extract and run it.
Select "e" for English.
Hit "Y" for Yes if asked.
Select Option 3 for Creative Cloud.

RH 9.0.2 update keeps showing up in Adobe Application Manager (AAM)

AAM keeps showing up in my Windows XP system tray, and listing the 9.0.2 update. I install it and *zingo-bingo* it's back when AAM checks for updates again.
When the update is installing it gets to 13%, then the progress bar suddenly surges to 100% and reports that installation is complete. This is tiresome, annoying, and frustrating.
I searched the fora about this problem but was unable to find any articles on it, so...
...if anyone has any ideas handy, I'm definitely in the market.
Thanks in advance,
Burtin

I think this is similar to something I have seen before. I don't have the standalone version of RoboHelp 9, mine is part of TCS3 so I don't get a separate entry.
What happens is Add/Remove and Help > About get out of sync and then you have issues. The only solution is to uninstall and then press F5 in Add/Remove. If there is still an entry, don't panic. Repeat the process until it does go. Then reinstall and add the patches one by one.
The steps I have described were necessary for RoboHelp 8 and I believe RoboHelp 9 should uninstall in one pass.
Whatever the rights and wrongs there, I believe you are going to have to uninstall and reinstall.

Can't launch Adobe Application Manager CS6 for MAC

When I try to launch the application, I get a "AdobeApplicationManager quit unexpectedly" message with a very long report containing "Problem Details and System Configuration" which is sent to Apple automatically.
The "Updates" function within each application (Photoshop, Bridge, etc.) works just fine.
