Question

Adobe Extension Manager CS6 is not connecting to Photoshop CS6

Hi,

I'm trying to connect a third party product to Photoshop CS6 and to do that, I need to connect Adobe Extension Manager CS6 to Photoshop CS6. But unfortunately, this isn't happening.

(When I installed Photoshop CS6, it installed into C:/Program files (x86)/Photoshop CS6, rather than C:/Program files (x86)/Adobe/Photoshop CS6, which might be part of the problem - it doesn't seem to be possible on installation to change this).

When I now load Extension Manager CS6, it doesn't show Photoshop CS6 as a product.

I'd be grateful for any assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

Andrew

Neither of the paths you posted match the Path I see my system.  I install both versions of cs6 when it was first released.  It was very unstable and not usable till 5 months later when Adobe release its first CS6 updater that fixed some 506 core problem. It was eventually update the version 13.0.1.3.  When I installed Creative cloud Photoshop CC, Photoshop CS6 still ran fine but some month later some creative cloud update broke CS6 and CS6 reported it was version 13.0 and it did not work and update would fail when run.  So I used my Adobe CS6 DVD and installed CS6 on  top of the broken CS6 which seen to back level CS6 to the original bad version of CS6 version 13.0.  For when I that ran update it did not fail and updated it from 13.0 to version 13.1.2 the creative cloud CS6 version.  However some of the Plugs there were still installed no longer functioned.  I had installed the CS5 optional plug-ins Web Photo gallery and Picture Package in Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.1.3 and they functioned.  They did not work in Creative cloud CS6 13.1.2 however a scripting bug I reported in Photoshop was now fixed in 13.1.2.  I was happy to get CS6 working again.  So I installed CS3 the get back the lost plug-in support.

 

The Paths I see on my system are:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Utilities - CS6\ExtendScript Toolkit CS6\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS6\Bridge.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS6 (64 Bit)\Bridge.exe"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS6\Adobe Extension Manager CS6.exe"

Hi, thanks for the information. The CS6 installation process seems to be extremely flaky to put it mildly. My version is 13.0.1 (13.0.1.3 20131024.r.34 2013/10/24:21:00:00) x64. I've been using it for a number of years without problems, it's just that I now want to install a related third party product.

Some third Party addons have their own installer.  Many third party Plug-ins install it every Photoshop versions plug-ins folder and Scripts are install in Photoshop Perset\Scripts folder   but then can be installed anywhere and work if you link Photoshop's folders to the folder you install plug-in and you install scripts in.  All I do when I install a  new version of Photoshop is a link into Photoshop folders to my folders.  The is one exception for me  The Image processor Pro Plug-In Script is coded with code that requires it to be located in the Folder Adobe created for each photoshop version installation.  Code in the script references its  components relative to Adobe's Photoshop versions folders. They need to be there.
