Unable to install Camera Raw 9.1.1 in CS6 [was: No Camera Raw filter in CS6]

Ok... so I downloaded the Camera Raw 9.1.1 and installed it.  But it still doesn't show up in filters in CS6.  I searched the computer for it to try and manually add it, but I can't find it anywhere.  I tried installing it like 3 times, but nothing.

The discussion I read on here said it should show up in filters next time I opened PS, but it doesn't.  Please help.

What makes you say that?

When you open a Raw file from a supported digital camera, the Camera Raw plugin inside Photoshop launches automatically and opens the Raw file. Camera Raw presents you with a dialogue box with various editing tools. When you click Done in Camera Raw, it then opens the image in Photoshop.

Your Action requires Camera Raw as a Filter (not a plug-in but a filter - a CC only feature). Totally different.

I suspect you're expecting all plug-ins to appear in the Filter menu (like Topaz). Camera Raw only acts as a filter in CC. In CS6 and below, Camera Raw is a processing engine which opens when a Raw file is detected.

Camera Raw installer for Adobe Photoshop CC and CS6

This would suggest that I can have the filter in CS6.  It downloaded and installed (apparently), but I can't find.  I have read online here where others have made it work, but I can't seem to.

Adobe Camera Raw and the Camera raw filter are two different things.

ACR is a plugin for Photoshop, primarily designed to work with raw files.

The camera raw filter is a filter that will work with any file, and is not part of CS6, it was introduced in Photoshop CC.

But you should have the camera raw plugin installed, and I'm confused by your screenshot of the Help menu, because it doesn't include About Photoshop and About Plugins. I'm a Windows user myself - is it possible that these items are in the Photoshop menu on a Mac?

    In Photoshop, go to Help>About Plugins>Camera Raw. This will tell you which ACR version is installed.

    I read this question as looking for Camera Raw in the Filter menu which is a Cloud only feature

    Correct. ACR as a filter was add in Photoshop CC. ACR is not a filter in CS6. CS6 ACR updates were only for new camera support.
