Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.3) Installation failed?

After latest update having problems opening Illustrator but fortunately it will open giving an error message: "Error loading plugins. Drop Shadow.aip"... but allmost every Stylize Effect has disappeared...    From now on I have no interest whatsoever for updating Adobe programs - Photoshop bug with crashing text objects few months ago was painful enough...

I have the same problem. Dreamweaver's update installed fine though. I don't even know what MacKeeper is. 

Photoshop 13.1 for Creative Cloud Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7 Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.3) Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

Hello All,

So the deed is done, I have isolated the problem to be MacKeeper's Fast Cleanup function. I am not sure, which file it is that it deletes that causes this, but I am sure that once you run it Adobe CS6 Illustrator update will fail. I've uninstalled Illustrator when the update failed and reinstalled it and was able to perform the update successfully. Then in an attempt to isolate this problem I uninstalled Illustrator again and then reinstalled it, but prior to running the update I ran the Fast Cleanup function on MacKeeper and what do you know the update failed again. I have been in contact with Trey from MacKeeper support, who remains interested in getting all the details to get this resolved on their end. He did refund my order and left my license active for a year, which I found to be ok. Although, I am not sure exactly what to do with that given that I wont be using it to prevent this from happening.

Thanks,

Rich

Same problem, MacKeeper!

Same problem here - is anybody else using MacKeeper? I've heard that it is the culprit - deletes a .plist file that is required to update Illustrator. Have no idea which one, or why, or how to fix it. I hope Adobe weighs in here...if this is the case and they are aware of it, could they perhaps post a link with instructions on replacing it?

I SOLVED THE PROBLEN UNINSTALLING ILUSTRATOR  AND THE RE INSTALLING  AND IT WORKS FINE

I too had the exact same problem, all the solutions above are simply time wasters. (i.e. read error logs and installing Adobe Support Advisor, really? I have to do all that because of a simple upgrade?)  Hopefully Adobe will remedy this problem very soon.

Yes, reinstalling via Time Machine worked for me too. It has the be the installer hosing up the app.

...well, I took everything out of the trash, and placed it back into the Applications folder, I used the Illustrator "Un-installer" and finally got AAM to recognized that it wasn't installed... so I am now re-installing Illustrator Only as a test to see if that solves the "temporary problem."

I am semi-fortunate, I don't use all of the CS6 Suite of applications, but wouldn;t you know it's always the ones I NEED that fail?!?!! AI, PS, FW, DW, and ID are my main tools...

*** update, that worked, I am back to running Illustrator 16.0.0 *** at least no crash... going to check a few of the others to see if they still work...

Nothing is working except InDesign.

This is what I see:
