Update/Installation annoying
Hi there
Just very annoyed with Flash Player installation process.
It wants me to download, unpack and install it manually (MAC). It is 21st century. Just ridiculous.
It asks me to quit Safari.
Ok, I quit Safari leaving all my tabs open because my Safari is configuret to open all the tabs from previous session on the next launch.
When Flash Player is installed it automatically opens a totally useless page just to inform about the installation success. And this stupid page just opens alone. All my tabs from previous session are gone.
After step 4 I hate Flash, I hate corporate programmers who do not think about user and I hate Adobe.
Job done.
Ever hear of "Gatekeeper"?
It makes it very difficult to design updaters, because EACH and EVERY update has to go through Apple approval. The updater, the downloader, the installer - ALL must get Apple approval to be added to the Gatekeeper protection definitions and then Apple has to update Gatekeeper BEFORE a software company can release their "approved" installer/updater.
Companies like Microsoft (with Office Mac) or Roxio, don't release updates that often, so it's not a big deal for them to go through the Gatekeeper approval. Flash Player is updated about every six weeks. And on top of that, there's still a big rift between Apple and Adobe over, of all things, Flash, so they'd likely stall Gatekeeper definition updates as long as they could and still avoid legal action. Adobe does the easy thing and uses an already approved DMG mounted, manual process for the installer.
It takes a little lonegr, sure. But it's less than coming here, logging in (or creating a new account), starting a thread and writing a rant about it. I could have installed it thrice at least in the time it took me to write this reply.

How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?
Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
Tags (edit): none (add)
Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

The update installation on my iPod touch failed and erased everything.
I plugged in my iPod touch (1st generation)into my computer and opened iTunes. A message popped up saying that there was a new update for my iPod, so i clicked on the download and install button. I downloaded the update and while it was installing, another message popped up saying the installation failed. so I was like ok I'll just click on the download again and reinstall it. But now my iPod wasn't showing on iTunes. I disconnected it and reconnected it and my iPod still didn't show. Then I noticed that the download wasn't there either. I turned on my iPod and all it showed was a picture with a connection cord pointing up to the iTunes logo. I think that the failed update installation must have completely erased my iPod touch's software. I have tried looking for the update download all over my computer but found nothing. what do I do now? Is there a way for me to download the software again or something? thank you

Thanks Jason, I will try the troubleshooting steps. Will they still work even if my iPod touch isn't even being recognized as an iPod by iTunes or my computer?
If the iPod is not recognized and cannot be restored from the other user account, try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
You can quickly isolate the issue by trying to restore from another computer.
If the issue is not present on another computer try the tips in the article above.
If the iPod touch has the same issue on another computer, it may need repair.

11.0.4 Updater installation failed - error U44M1P7
For the benefit of others, I wanted to post the steps that fixed this issue for gbrozk1:
Open Extension Manager CS5.
Select Dreamweaver on the left, and then remove the HTML5Pack (11.0.3 Updater) extension.
Repair the installation of Dreamweaver using your original installation media.
To do this, insert your original installation DVD, or double-click the downloaded DMG file, and then double-click Set-Up.app to begin the installation.
When given choices of which products to Install/Re-install, uncheck everything except Dreamweaver. (That is, we need to be sure Dreamweaver is selected to be re-installed. Re-installing repairs the installation.)
Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete the re-install/repair of Dreamweaver.
Restart your computer.
Install the 11.0.4 update.
Hope that helps someone!I have had the same problems as you @davert2
Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 Updater
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
I have done the following to try and rectitfy the error:
1. I tried Carey Burgesses help here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/848587?start=0&tstart=0
2. Installing the update manually from here - http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html
3. As suggested - removing the /AAMUpdater folder here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/847350?start=0&tstart=0
4. Tried the "fix" link - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/902/cpsid_90241.html - dead link
I am not going to reinstall CS5 because I can't get a fix, I'm not all together sold that THAT would fix the error either...
Anyone have an actual solution for this?
That was the post from me in November...
As of today, I've had the Adobe Application Updater run 3 times this morning, all with the same result.
I am on a Mac, 10.7.2 and am running CS5 - Dreamweaver runs fine there are no issues there, I have now 3 Adobe Application Manager updates in my tool bar... As soon as it runs again, I'll have 4...
Anyone have any answers that DON'T involve reinstalling Dreamweaver? -
ThinkVantage System Update application will find the appropriate updates, download them and install them. This is convenient. But when it finishes the updates, it will not clean the installation files it has downloaded, which I think are not useful any more since the update installation is completed, right?
I think the update appliction stores the downloaded files in the folder: C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ , this folder of mine is over 1.32GB big now. But I just don't know which files and subfolders in it are safe to delete.
Or rather, the preload system occupies a large space on the disk. Which files are no longer used and safe to delete?
Would any experts help with this? Thank you very much!
NormI've been experimenting. Now I figure it out. Automatic System Update downloads and stores files in C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ Sessions\, and in Sessions' subfolders, all files are not used once update is completed except those ending with .xml. Thus those unnacessary files are safe to delete.
This is what I find out so far.
Continuing to experiment.

So, I get this strange error when I try to update AME CC 7.2.2. What to do?
Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.2 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7[ Mac 10.9.3 / Indesign CC update fail / Premiere update fail / Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2 update fail ]
AME:lle ei ole omaa unistalleria, vaan sen asentavat muut CC:n ohjelmat käyttöönsä.
Mulla ei onnistunut ID CC:n ja Premierin päivitys. Niihin olisi ollut tulossa vain tuo AME:n päivitysosa. Ainakin mulla ongelmia näytti aiheuttavan MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework, joka esti AME:n päivittämisen. Poistin sen käsin AME:n sisältä.
Poistin Premieren (uninstall) ja asensin sen uudestaan. Buuttasin koneen. Sen jälkeen molempien päivitys onnistui.
There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too. -
Hi,

Very new and very green to illustrator.
Have used only once or twice since i bought it.
Unfortunately when i need to use it now - it crashes
upon starting up.
I received the following error message:
Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7
Haven't a clue what to do!
Any help and direction would be most appreciated.
g1Updates can fail due to any number of system issue. They are more prone to failing if you alter the application in any way. On the Macintosh, popular applications such as Monoligual will remove application package contents and therefore cause updates to fail.
The easiest solution is to uninstall Illustrator CS5 using the uninstaller and then reinstall Illustrator CS5, then immediatlly run the 15.0.1 update. -

For starters I have a Mac, not Windows.
Here's the error from the log:

ERROR: The following payload errors were found during install:
ERROR: - Adobe Bridge CS5_4.0.5_AdobeBridge4-mul: Install failed
I'm following this Adobe guide on troubleshooting but have no clue how to address this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 3 times.
I am also getting similar errors for pixelbender and Camera Raw:

If you need more log data let me know. I'm wasting hours trying to figure this out! I only reinstalled the Master Collection because After Effects and Premiere kept crashing on me. Thanks
MorrisCan you reset you computer to before the update and try the update again?
You should also reset you preferences as this file is not affect by a reinstall. Believe in Mac it is hold down Cmd key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options. -

If you get the following error when updating ACR 6.2 on OSX:

Look for /Applications/Adobe
If it is a FILE instead of a folder then delete it.
Rerun the update.Just a heads up.

When I try to update camera raw files in CS6 I get the following error message

What do I do?Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
The reason i ask, even though you wrote cs6, is the camera raw 6.7 update is for photoshop cs5.
Did you try Help>Updates from within photoshop to get the most recent version of camera raw, which is 8.7 for photoshop cs6? -
