Why Bridge CS5.5 is opened and not CS6 is opened for non admin user?

Report · Nov 25, 2012

Hi,

I have CS5.5 updated to CS6 on my computer but CS5.5 version of Bridge is opened instead of CS6. This happens when I try to open CS6 version of Bridge by using the CS6 icon, selecting CS6 version from the program list of Windows 7 and selecting the CS6 version from file manager. I did a quick check to try other programs and e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator start with CS6 version.

My user account doesn't have the admin rights for the computer. When using on the same PC with admin account Bridge CS6 version is started as expected. Therefore this has something to do with admin rights. Therefore please instruct how to do the set up for user not having administrator rights.

Hi,

Just to update on the solution on this in case somebody else encounters this issue and searches the discussions for the solution.

The reason for this was that in the Bridge CS5 advanced preferences it was set to start Bridge CS5 at logon automatically. Removing that solved the issue.

My thanks to the Adobe support on pointing this one.
