There was a similar (solved) post six months ago, but it provided direct links for the Mac version.

I’m hoping for the same for Photoshop CS5 Windows x64.

I have both the download link and the original discs (with serial numbers) for Production Premium CS5. They work great, except I get this from the Adobe Application Manager when I attempt to update to Photoshop CS5 12.0.4: “There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.”

Same result for Illustrator, Camera Raw, and Bridge updates. Is there any way to get the update links for the CS5 Windows version?

Here’s a thread with links to the Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 update, which still seem to work:

Here is the 12.0.4 updater for Photoshop CS5 on Windows:

The 12.0.5 update you can apply after the 12.0.4 update:

If you having problems with other CS5 updates installing, then perhaps installing a more recent Application Manager will resolve the issue:

Thanks so much! The Application Manager update took care of most of the issues. It updated Photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4. I manually installed the 12.0.5 update.

Bridge updated. Same with the Camera Raw (unsure of exact name) application.

I’m still getting an error when trying to update to Illustrator CS5 15.0.2.

Is there a way to get a direct link to that update?

ProDesignTools provided direct download links, but I am not so sure if they still work.

This is their page, see if you can work it out from here. I’m thinking that if you do find a working link, it will be for the most up to date version.

Good luck, and please let us know how you get on.
