Camera Raw update download lightroom 4

How do I download the update for Camera Raw for Lightroom 4? I cannot seem to find a "download" button. I seem to get sent in circles. Thank you.

    What path are you following the you feel leads in circles?

    You might try using a different browser as a first step.

    But if you are going to the page linked below, and find yourself going in circles, chances are you only think you are since the page progression look somewhat the same for each link you click.  You need to scroll down the page to find the clicked section opened, which might lead you to having to do it again for a similar looking page.  I do not know why they make it so interactively non-linear, but it is.

    The latest update is Lightroom 4.3, and is available from the creative cloud cloud application manager. It's the only way to update Lightroom 4. It is not possible to update Lightroom with the camera raw plug-in.

    Lightroom does NOT use the Camera Raw plug-in.  What you need to do is update Lightroom itself.

    Lightroom uses a similar engine to the one in ACR, but it's baked into Lightroom itself.

    Any ACR plug-in you may download will be useless with Lightroom.

    Actually LR does use ACR plug-in when using the "Edit in Photoshop" command. LR sends the parametric instructions and raw to ACR which then renders and opens it in PS. If the two are not on version parity, LR will pop an error due to this difference in feature parity. 

    The OP's question isn't at all clear. But he may have an older version of ACR and a newer version of LR and getting this error but it would be helpful to know more, like what version of each he has installed.
