Adobe Application Manager problem

[jchuzi]

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5. Adobe Application Manager has always given me access to updates to the relevant parts. Lately, it says that I need to update to Photoshop 4.0.4 and Bridge 4.0.4 but I have Photoshop 12.0.4 installed and Bridge 4.05.11. When I tell AAM to update, the "updates" are downloaded but installation fails. AAM does not allow me to uncheck one of them at a time; it's both or nothing.

I logged into test account and AAM told me that Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5 are up to date (and, indeed, they are because I checked Adobe's website for relevant updates). This leads me to believe that a preference file is corrupted in my main account but, despite searching, I can't find anything that resembles an AAM plist.

Does anyone know its location?

EDIT:  Problem solved. I went to Adobe, downloaded a newer version of AAM and installed it. That seems to have done the trick.

Glad you solved it, Jon. Hadn't realized that AAM itself would need updating - and not bother to tell you! A bit ironic, considering.

Put it this way: I'm less than impressed at how Adobe writes their software. A lot of things don't conform to Apple conventions and this makes troubleshooting much more difficult than it should be. I sometimes think that Adobe is just as bad as Microsoft.

It's much worse! I don't have to use anything made by M$!

If you think that Adobe software is poorly written, try navigating their website.

And they want you to let them create a site with their new WYSInotWYG Muse app. And pay them $15 a month...forever!? "A fool and his money..."
