I have been using CS5.5 version 7.5 but I have run into a bug that is corrected in update 7.5.3. The Adobe application Manager won't function to install this upgrade.  I searched through the CS5.5 program for upgrades and it upgraded the AAM to a creative cloud AAM. This is not working for me. Please help

At some point in the past (I don't know the exact date) Adobe "merged" the original update manager into the Cloud update manager, which means you are no longer using your original update manager

I have read some messages that the latest (Cloud) updater sometimes doesn't work with old programs... Try installing your updates manually

Updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Hi John, thanks for your prompt reply. I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean i have to first install 7.5.1 then 7.5.2 then 7.5.3? I can't find any information on this issue on the page you point me to.

Not supported under Win 8, either.

If this application is mission critical for you, find a Windows 7 machine or upgrade to Creative Cloud.


I guess that is the only answer. Just i can't afford creative cloud price. It means a monthly payment which is quite large for me. Windows 7 machine or find a workaround....OK

Thanks for your interest and help anyhow
