About the CSXS Infrastructure 3.0.1 Updates

Recently we posted updates for various CS6 applications called CSXS Infrastructure updates via the Adobe Application Manager. Unfortunately, there was no text describing what the update was for or indeed what CSXS was. Whilst we work to add in the descriptive text to the update, I wanted to provide some brief information for those that were curious as to what the update was about.

CSXS is the platform that delivers extensibility within Creative Suite products. This update to the CSXS Infrastructure, resolves an issue where certain characters contained in a users Adobe ID caused a login failure.

It’s only a very small update but an important one, so please apply the update if you are a CS6 user, now that you know what it’s for.

Just curious, why are you all so mistrustful of Adobe? It's not as if they are installing spyware on your computer. You should always keep any software you use up to date, especially Acrobat/Reader because by not updating you expose yourself to vulnerabilities for malware, which you really do need to be worried about.

There are so many bugs in CS6 I would like to know when CS6 updates are install which of the reported bug are being fixed. So far it look like CS6 CSXS Update 3.0.2 just removes the CS6 CSXS 3.0.1 update and installs CS6 CSXS 3.0.2 and fixes none of the reported bugs in CS6.

With all due respect, you can't know that. It fixes none of those you reported, perhaps.

In the particular case of 3.0.1 (the original subject of THIS thread) Adobe finally did document that the fix was to make it possible for people with certain special characters in their Adobe ID to actually use the CS6 software. I'm a bit miffed they didn't bother to document why 3.0.2 was released, though. Edit: I see SG has clarified that in the other thread.

Hi Jonathan, I've been trying for over a week and many hours on the phone talking with Adobe customer service regarding the Adobe CSXS InfrastructureCS6 upgrade for CS6 running on Mac, would you happen to know where the download link is for the Mac version?

Hello, Ken, someone posted a link on the comments of the linked blog post, and I replaced win by mac and zip by dmg, and was able to download it.

So if this fails to update, and the error log fails to populate any screen, we should just say, Oh well? Because I am just in trial mode with CS6 and this update has failed and the error log is not active. No support for trial software. ... Win 7 64 bit

well, just tried a 4 time to access the error log. ,

Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M1P28

Looks like they need to build a better mouse trap here. If it doesn't apply, don't tell us we have an u[pdate.

Isn't it obvious? [Ps] was updated!

I applied the update yesterday (or maybe it was the day before; it's all a gaussian blur). All went well and everything still seems to work.

Also - I now also have a full CS6 Bridge in both 32 and 64 bit. Woot.

Well, I can tell you that I think part of it related to a Creative Cloud subscription was to install a "Adobe Content Viewer" that has the same little purple book icon as seen on the page for the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite: http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-single/features.html

And it views "folios" - I just noticed it there suddenly and I'm pretty sure it didn't come with the CS6 install of InDesign/Photoshop, etc.. as part of my Cloud subscription prior to this. I noticed it immediately after the upgrade ran and went "What's that?"

I could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing it before this.

From what I can gather CSXS is part of the CS Extansions system. When I installed this update this morning it was listed as being part of pretty much every CS application. As for what this patch in particular does... No idea. This post is the first thing that comes up when I search for information on the update, and Adobe has no security buletins released today, so Curt Y's "misc. bugs" prediction seems accurate.

As to why you need to restart, if any part of Adobe's startup helpers/daemons were using the extension system while the update was running, then the update may request a restart. I did not need to restart on my Windows Vista or OS X 10.7 machines, so it may be a Windows XP "feature".

No restart on Win7 64bit either.

Would be nice to know what is being installed on our machines,

Got the same update to Photoshop 13 on my Mac today, but no indication, hint or suggestion to reboot or restart the system.

Me as well! New to Adobe (from Avid). Is there not a Readme file that lists changes and fixes?? I don't feel comfortable just installing updates I don't know about.

Judging from past experiences details are hard to come by. Usually they just say fixed misc. bugs.

If there are major fixes the official notice will be several days away.
