CS3 Update error

I recently had to do a complete reinstall of my PC and prior to doing so used the Deactivate function. Following the reinstall of my system I installed CS3 once again from the CD and the install went without problems. Of course I now had the original version (10) installed and so used the update facility from within CS3. Following this I was presented with an error message advising that there was a problem installing 10.0.1 and Camera Raw. Despite running the installer again via the ‘Try Again’ button the problem persisted and so I pressed Cancel.

Following this I went to the Adobe site and downloaded the 10.0.1 update outside of CS3 and the install/update went without any problems. I also did this with Camera Raw. Now whenever CS3 starts up I get the splash screen indicating version 10.0.1 and from within CS3 (Help – about plug-ins) I see that Camera Raw 4.3.1 is installed.

However, a few moments ago the installer once again appeared indicating that version 10.0.1 was ready to be installed and so just to get rid of the pop up I clicked ‘Install’. Of course I received back could not install message and I suspect that this is going to pop it’s ugly head up on future ocassions as well.

Does anyone know where the fault/error lies and how I stop this pop up advising me that 10.0.1 is ready to be installed when it seems that it already is. Thank you.

The updater is broken.

Just go to Help > Updates and when the updater appears, select Preferences and uncheck "Automatically Check for Adobe Updates".

I always get my updates the way you did.

OK thanks for the info John. I guess in the absence of the auto updates option one has no way of knowing when updates are available other than to periodically check the web site.

And here of course!

If you are worried about missing an update you can always use the Help > Updates… method to have a look and then cancel out and download and install manually.

You have more control and usually get a bit of information from the web site too.
