I cannot update CS 6, Adobe Application Manager cannot be installed and doesn´t work

I have CS 6 installed on my Windows PC (Windows 7). It worked for a long time. Now I cannot update the Programm. At first I get the message "update failed, please download a new Version of the Adobe Application Manager". When I did it and tryed to install the application Manager, I got a new message: "Installer could not be initialized. Please download the Adobe support advisor to identifie your Problem." But the Support Advisor has been closed by Adobe and I cannot download the program. What can I do now? (please sorry for my bad english).

Thank you very much. That helped me and I can update my CS 6 again.

  • How do I open the updates window in "Adobe Application Manager"?

    How do I open the updates window in "Adobe Application Manager"? Or can I or should I....??
    I am a brand new Cloud member.  I heard of the Retina update.  Assuming this was where the updates would logically appear I went to the "Adobe Application Manager" app first.  Without closing the "Adobe Application Manager" I opened Photoshop and went to the help menu and selected "Updates..."; a second window opened in the already open "Adobe Application Manager".
    I selected update all.
    The result is below:

    Now, I closed the "Adobe Application Manager" and opened "Photoshop" again and again selected "Updates..." from the help menu.  The "Adobe Application Manager" opened again with just one window this time and the updates happened correctly.
    I was hoping one of the updates would be to the "Adobe Application Manager", I don't think so.
    So, If I were you I wouldn't select "Updates..." from an Adobe app unless the "Adobe Application Manager" is closed until they fix it...
    Current version: Adobe® Application Manager - Version 7.0.0.128 (7.0.0.128) Note the Two windows in the "Adobe Application Manager" in the attached image.

    The updates are currently available by going to Help>Updates within the Application.  Once you invoke the Updater, which is a component of the Adobe Application Manager, it will locate and apply the updates.  It looks like most of your updates have failed to install.  I would recommend you begin by trying to apply the updates that are available on our product update page at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and seeing if you face the same difficulty.
    If you continue to experience problems with applying the updates then please review your installation log to determine the cause of the failure.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • Why does Adobe Application Manager fail to install?

    I just subscribed to the Creative Cloud. I am trying to download applications.  The download starts with an update to Application Manager.  Each time, I get the error message,"We've encountered the following issues:  Adobe Application Manager failed to install."  I'm not able to install any of the CC applications.  [I've tried Acrobat and Photoshop.]

    I'm going to write this information cause it was so darn frustrating and after two days I finally got it - so here goes - resolution:
    I'm running windows 7, and was trying to download cloud which apparently I was forced to do based on my subscription base (was on CS6 before that)
    Step 1: start task manager and close ALL adobe running apps including akami session
    Step 2: click on the windows icon and type in search bar %appdata%, enter
    Step 3: in browser bar above of folder, click on "appdata" (my file directory when i typed step two was C:\Users\study\AppData\Roaming, and I need to be be at C:\Users\study\AppData)
    Step 4: Click Local, then Adobe, then oobe, delete the oobe file
    Step 5: Go the the following to download the "cleaner tool": http://download.macromedia.com/pub/creativecloud/cleanertool/win/Adobe_Creative_Cloud_Clea ner_Tool.zip
    Step 6: Unzip the file and click on the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool.exe, that was in my directory as follows (dependent on where you download and unzip of course) C:\Users\study\Downloads\adobe_creative_suite_cleaner_tool (1)\win
    Step 7: select (e) in the black box for "english", select (y) for yes, select creative cloud (whichever option # that is) and again anything with creative cloud (this did NOT delete my other adobe files, which I feared may - but I was simply instructing it to clean/delete the creative cloud.
    Step 8: close the black window
    Step 9: Click here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773  and download the creative cloud adobe application manager
    Step 10: Run the application
    Step 11: Log in and download the software you want
    If that doesn't work, what I did is between steps 4 and 5 I restarted my computer, then I went into task manager and closed all adobe apps.  I'm not sure I had to do this step but I was desperate after 2 days doing whatever.  Each tech person gave me different information.  The last person helped me best, but I spoke with her via chat AFTER I had rebooted the computer.  If you need support click http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and I personally did the "chat" so I wouldn't have to wait.
    Hope this helps anyone who hasn't figured it out! 

  • What to do if "Adobe Application Manager fails to install"?

    What to do if "Adobe Application Manager fails to install"?

    I get this same message. I am on Windows 8.1 and I was installing photoshop cc when I got the message. What other info do you need?
    **Update**
    If you follow the instructions in the email receipt when you buy, it works. If you follow the instructions on the screen, there's a couple of steps missing.

  • Adobe Application Manager fails to install when I try to download CC

    I have tried to download CC but keep getting the error messate that Adobe Application Manager fails to install. How can I download CC?

    For Windows 8, 64-bit,
    I Renamed OOBE to OOBE_old located at
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    I then relaunched the Browser
    I went to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    I Signed in with Adobe ID and password.
    I clicked on the  download button but absolutely nothing was happening.
    You will find below a video showing what happens when I click the download button when OOBE is not renamed.

    Pictures
    I hope this bug will be fixed promptly because all my CC applications are now paid for a while and not yet presently accessible and useable.
    I feel, in all fairness, until the problem is fixed, Adobe should provide a credit.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • CC Adobe Application Manager fails to install...

    I just purchased Adobe CC (I'm a current CS6 Production Premium owner) and login in with my Adobe ID, attempted to download Adobe Photoshop CC and got the following error:
    Adobe Application Manager
    We've encountered the following issues:
    Adobe Application Manager failed to install.
    My system is Windows7 64bit.  I looked thru my Windows7 event logs and NO errors are being shown.
    I've attempted to contact "live chat support" but I appear to be on infinite "hold" with estimated wait that goes from 23 minutes to 22 minutes to 23 mintues to 22 minutes (has been doing this for 50 minutes now) -- I guess A LOT of people are having problems with CC.
    I gotta say, my "introduction" to Adobe Creative Cloud has definitely NOT been a good one.  If I can't get a solution soon, I'll just get a refund on my CC Subscription and look for alternate "creative" software.  Not a happy customer.  I suspected this CC subscription approach was going to be problematic, and it is!
    Rob

    I finally got thru to live support and they resolved the issue.
    1.  Moved a file omp.db from AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE to desktop (it gets re-created later)
    2.  Tried to install AAM again from download center, it failed
    3.  Downloaded AAM to a local dir and extracted and "Run as administrator" on Setup.exe, it still failed.
    4.  Went to download center on web and tried to download AAM, click download button on web site and it opens AAM and I logged in ... most bizarre
    I'm not really sure how or why this worked since the install still reported at Failed even when "Run as administrator", but AAM is working now and I was able to install other CC applications using it.
    I'm almost 100% certain this is a security issue with Adobe's installer, somewhere in the chain something isn't getting/requesting elevated trust so when the installer tries to proceed it's hitting an OS security violation which is preventing the install.  So you might want to take this bug back to your CC developers and let them know they've got a trust/permissions problem with their installer.

  • Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install

    I am running Win 7 Ultimate. Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install on my computer after I signed up for Adobe CC tonight. I am currently using the CS5 suite (perpetual license) and do not want to uninstall any of the programs until I am successfully running the Adobe CC versions. The AAM gives me an error message saying that it failed to open when I select it, and the creative cloud installer fails to install. I have tried restarting my computer. Help? This is very frustrating. I am a student and use this software on a daily basis, and can't afford to not have these programs available when I need them.

  • Installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"

    installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"
    Is this because I need to deactivate cs5 on one of the computers?
    CS5 is on 2 old computers. I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    What do I need to do?

    I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    Forget that part. The apps won't work. Adobe apps must be installed properly. That may well explain your issues with CS6, too. Generalyl, though, there is no need to uninstall older versions...

  • Can't complete updates because of Adobe Application Manager

    Adobe Application Manager refuses to complete updates for CS5.5 Production Premium and gives window that says "Close Adobe Bridge CS5.1(Bridge.exe) and I've follow all instructions in Bridge Help where others talk about same problem. Nothing they suggest works. The Problem is still there, refusing to allow me to "Continue" with my downloaded updates. This is apparently a long term problem that Adobe should have fixed with a patch etc. A simple "Close Application" under File in Bridge should do the trick. Can anyone give me a proven solution that will work? Thanks.

  • Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?

    In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
    I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi Richei Creative,
    These would be my suggestions:
    Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
    Instructions if you need them  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
    Hope these help,
    -Dave

  • What updates is Adobe Application Manager trying to install

    I'm getting the same behavior that CLS_SP reports (the zoom animation for application startup blinks onto the screen for half a second and then disappears). I am running 10.7.4, on a 16 GB MacBook Pro. I get the same results when I manually open /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core/ and double-click on "Adobe Application Manager.app". No entries related to AAM show up in Console.app in the system log.
    Is there another way to tell which updates AAM is trying to notify us to apply, without using AAM itself?

    Branching this to a new discussion as the previous thread was regarding not meeting the minimum system requirements for the Adobe Application manager.
    The update for the extension manager can at least be found at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/.  Which Adobe product do you have?  Do you have Creative Suite 6 or Creative Cloud?

  • Yosemite Update now opens Adobe Application Manager

    The most recent update to my iMac now has the application manager opening at the startup and will not close or get out of my dock.
    Can anyone tell me how to shift it from the dock as right clicking only gives me the opportunity to "Keep in the dock"? It won't close at all either
    Many thanks in advance

    Phill it may be that the Adobe Application Manager is attempting to update your applications?  The behavior you described is not typical.  I would recommend running all available uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once your existing installations are removed you can see if you experience the same behavior.

  • Adobe Application Manager Not Recognising Installed Applications

    Hi,
    I've just launched adobe application manager for the first time on a month or 2 and it no longer knows that I already have photoshop, illustrator and fireworks installed, and therefore I cannot update them!
    Thanks for you help
    Matt

    I've seen cases in which installing the products with a different Adobe ID than the one associated with your Creative Cloud membership can cause this, but haven't heard of instances where just installing updates to AAM caused it.
    Another solution to try would be uninstalling the product not listed in AAM through the OS/with the uninstall and then just reinstalling it through AAM
    Control Panel > Programs & Features (Windows 7/8)
    Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
