In Creative Suite times we could distinguish 64 bit from 32 bit version of Photoshop during installation. This way we could install either both of them, or only 64 bit v. There was no option to uninstall 32 bit version to keep 64 bit one. If we did not install 64 bit version in no time, then we had to uninstall both to install 64 bit only.

Now by Creative Cloud application when I install Photoshop CS6 Extended it automatically install 32 and 64 bit versions.

How to do it installed 64 bit version only?

Sorry, but I'm at a loss to help you hear. Seems you are wanting to use outdated, unsupported software and want it to do something that it can no longer do because of it being outdated. Goo luck on your quest.

When you open CC app you have 8 releases of Photoshop, the first is CS6 and latest CC 2019. I know CS6 like CC 2018 and all that are between are not supported, but that is no matter. It works very well and satisfy my expectations.

I don't know what you mean saying I want to do with it something that it can't be longer used for? However that is outdated it's avilable by CC app, so the only I wanted to get to know is whether there's chance to install 64 bit version singly.

And the reason why I want specifically to use CS6 is that it's only one version that never disappointed me.

The newer doesn't mean better in this case Anyway thank You for your help and time!

Don't they come up separately in Windows Programs and Features? Can't you uninstall the 32 bit version from there? I don't see any reason this has to be uninstalled by the CC app.

There will not be any updates to CS6 as it is no longer supported by Adobe at all. So no need to worry about updates.

This time you are not correct Install CS6 by CC app, and you will see it prompts you then to update it from 13.0.0 to 13.1.2

Yeah. They did do a few security updates to it, but other than that, it is no longer supported for new or improved features as of some time in late 2017. The main reason is they are not developing it for any newer operating systems. It won't run on some of the newer ones already.

Adobe Just Stopped Selling Creative Suite 6 Entirely - Here's Why

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to install the 64 bit version of CS6 through the Creative Cloud application. Correct? And when you do so, It installs the 32 and 64 bit versions, but you only want the 64 bit version installed. Correct? After a bit of research, it seems that you can't ever differentiate them in the current model of the Creative Cloud because it no longer supports 32 bit versions of Photoshop on either Mac or PC. So the ability to differentiate is missing it seems. You would be better off to just install the CS6 version on its own, leaving out the Creative Cloud application in order to get what you are looking for.

Yes you are correct. But if there really is no way to install 64 bit version only maybe there is some 'hack' to install both of them and uninstall 32 version? If there is not, then that's good reason CC app team allowed us to differentiate which version we would like to install.

Regarding the tip, so installation of CS6 not by CC app, if I do it can it be later recognised by CC app as its own application in order to update it?

You can still download the CS6 installer by itself and try to install 64 bit only if you still have a serial number.

Download Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications

Totally uninstall CS6 and do not use the CC app.

Run the Photoshop CS6 installer.
Enter your serial number. Click Accept.
On the right side of the Options panel under the 64-bit heading, deselect the option for Photoshop CS6. Leave the "Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64-bit)" option selected.
Finish the installation.

Thank you for answer, but when you read my post once again you will see I am aware of it. I mean that I can install 64 bit version using Creative Suite account. That I asked was how to do the same by the Creative Cloud Application. Or at least how to (do that was not possible with CS, so) uninstall 32 bit only when both versions are already installed by CC app?

The problem when I checked was that CS6 would install directly using the CC app with no choice to select 64 bit only. You would get the 32 and 64 bit versions and no way to uninstall the 32 bit one. If there is, I have not seen it anywhere in these forums.

You could try Creative Cloud Download & Install and see if someone there knows.
