    Not only did it not update, I get a Twitter response from someone named Madison at Adobe_Care:

    @MarkWRoberts11 Hi Mark, we're sorry about that. You can try solution #2 here: forums.adobe.com/message/479431… ^Madison

    Then to add to my fun, after deleting the Extension Manager and following the direction on the Adobe site, Illustrator Crashes !!! Now I have nothing working... so I trash EVERYTHING CS6, and just figure I'll "re-install clean..."

    I can't even do that !!! AAM says everything is still installed... I'm looking for a .plist file or cache to delete... anyone? This is on my MBPwR thank god my iMac still works normally... still can't get two of the updates, but I'll live with that for now...

    What a mess...

    Seriously this is getting obnoxious, everytime an update is released it fails and I end up having to uninstall and reinstall the software, if that even works. If this continues I am going to uninstall and forget about reinstalling all together. Not to mention, the sudden push to suscribe users to the Creative Cloud and including features in that end of the software that aren't being included in the versions other license holder are entitled to. How about some quality control and some integrity!

    Heh. I'm still trying to work out how the 16.0.3 update can be issued under "bug fixes" when it's fixed no visible bugs for me, but introduced two new ones that are catastrophically disruptive to my workflow (actions rendered unuseable from Fkeys, no color profiles embedded in exported TIFFs)…

    Well, I don´t know how to fixed it. I did a very complicated trip and it worked:

    I did it in a MacBook Pro 17 in.

    OS X 10.8.2

    1. I tried going back with TimeMashine one day before the update. Didn´t work.
    2. Then I uninstalled CleanMyMac.
    3. I made a Clean INstallation of White Lion (witch i didn´t well becasue all the programs and folder where there after the two hours process)
    4. In this point i tried to run AI CS6 and nothing, so...
    5. Here I delete the Adobe CS6 folder by hand, went to my CreativeCluod account and re-download AI CS6
    6. With fear I made the update and....
    7. It worked... Now I have the 16.2 version

    I don´t know if I did wrong but that way, with that long shot i could did it...

    I hope that this could be usefull...

    Exact same problem. Hopefully they will take this one on soon since they just had the "Adobe Create Now Live" event and were pushing people to update the photoshop and illustrator apps!
