Unable to update CS5 Applications in Windows 10

[johnrg]

I am trying to update After Effects CS5 from Version 10 to 10.02. in Windows 10. I am unable to successfully run the downloaded updates using Adobe Application Manager. I get errors for each application stating "Some updates failed to install" "Update is not Applicable".

I was able to successfully update Illustrator, Photoshop and Premiere in Windows 7 on this machine before doing a update to Windows 10. I had also done some prior testing on Windows 10 beforehand with Premiere Pro installations since it required running setup in Compatibility Mode or would cause errors running Premiere Pro. But unfortunately now running Windows 10 I am unable to even re-run the updates for Illustrator and Photoshop.

I have right clicked on the patch installer to check compatibility but AAM appears just the same and won't run the update. My question then would be if the complete downloadable versions of CS5 Master Suite would include the last updates. Then one could install at once in Windows 10 in compatibility mode and be set. The applications run well in W10 but clearly there are some installation issues with specific applications and all updates under Windows 10.

Hoping there may be a workaround with these downloads. Appreciate any help. May post this at MS also.

Solved my own question as I just found the solution. Adobe shows this for CS 5.5 and Creative Cloud but it updates CS5's Adobe Application Manager and so I was able to run my installers and successfully run all of the updates for CS 5 applications within Windows 10. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4773&fileID=4437

Hope this helps folks out. Windows 10 and Adobe CS 5 works well. Just remember to install in Compatibility Mode for Win 7 and get the update I linked above for AAM.
