So I had the latest Illustrator Beta installed. Photoshop stated "Illustrator is damaged" when double clicking on a smart oject. I Uninstalled the Iustrator Beta, now it's saying "smartobjectxy.ai could not be found" when double clicking a smartobject, even though Illustrator 23, 24 and 25 are installed. How do I tell Photoshop to open them with another Illustrator version?

@bheindnp you probably need to uninstall and reinstall Illustrator

It's probably the usual problem of lost file associations. It's possible you can just reassign in the operating system, but if not, then yes, an uninstall/reinstall should fix it.

 

Make sure to follow version order when installing and uninstalling. Think of it as tennis balls in a plastic tube - oldest at the bottom, newest on top.
