Where can I download the Lightroom 5.7.1 update to LR 5?

I have the aging desktop version and love it.

It may currently be corrupted and need to reinstall everything from scratch in order to continue.

Adobe buried this update somewhere and I do not want to down load from a strange site.

Looking from a legit source!

Thanks in advance

    Hello guys,

     

    I've had to reload my PC and now the Lightroom 5.7.1 Adobe download page has gone.

    Any ideas please?

     

    Thanks!

    Thank you @DdeGannes 

     

    I wouldn't have downloaded that because the source isn't official, but thanks again 🙂

      I called Adobe today and they looked up my account and emailed me the link for LR5.71 

      Just installed it works perfectly.

        "I get 404 Not Found. Is there a new address for LR5 update?"

         

        Adobe, in its infinite wisdom, now makes it very difficult to download LR 5 and earlier. See this help article: 

        https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/downloaded-older-app.html. 

         

        As described by the help article, your LR 5 may be available via your Adobe account, which would be ideal.

         

        If it isn't, Adobe then wants you to contact customer support. Some people have had success doing this, but many encounter clueless untrained support people.  When you contact a support person, send them the link to the help article immediately.  If they balk, just terminate the chat session and start a new one -- don't worry about being rude.  It may take several tries to get one who understands the issue.

        After days of trying, the file eventually downloaded. No idea why it was having issues the first couple days.

        Now when I try to download Lightroom 5.7 from the Adobe download page (http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/lightroom/win/5.x/Lightroom_5_LS11_win_5_7_1.exe), the download starts and after a few seconds it fails and give the message 'Failed - Network Error'. I never seen this error message ever before, am able to download files without issue from all other sites, so believe it is something on the Adobe side. I had to reinstall windows and am rebuilding and reinstalling all my applications, so any help would be appreciated.

        Try another Web Browser.

        If you Goggle "Failed - Network Error" you will see that the Chrome browser is a frequent problem with this error message.

        It is doubtful that the Adobe servers would be the problem.

        Awesome - tried another browser and that seemed to work now. Thanks for the fix.

        However, when trying to extract the downloaded file I now get the following error message:  "A problem occurred while extracting the archive. please try download the Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 Installer again.". Needless to say, just downloading it again doesn't fix it.

        About halfway down linked page you'll find a link to Lightroom 5. While it doesn't specifically mention 5.7.1 the download does is 5.7.1

        Download Photoshop Lightroom

        Did you get the update to work? When I try to install the update, I am receiving the message that I need to download the application support file (which puts the CC on my system). Thanks in advance.
