Fireworks CS5 11.0.1 Update
I keep getting this

Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

yeah download it form adobe.com, it worked for me too.

Concuerdo absolutamente con la solución que señala rdayaustin512, para instalar se debe realizar lo siguiente:

1.- Actualizamos Adobe Air

2.- Ingresamos al siguiente link: http://www.adobe.com/support/fireworks/downloads_updaters.html y descargamos el archivo necesario para mac o pc.

• Download the Windows updater (5.87MB)
• Download the Macintosh updater (11.1MB)

Ditto. Updated Air, did everything described by earlier posters, to no avail. (Similar issues trying to update Acrobat 9.4.4 to 9.4.5 earlier today).

Why can't Adobe write an updater that works? They're as bad as Microsoft these days. Worse, actually.

Hi All,

We have investigated the update failure on Mac. For Mac users, if update failed the first time, we would suggest following the steps mentioned below before updating the patch again.
  -        Launch Extension Manager CS5 and check whether the AIR Export Extension has been uninstalled from your machine.
  -        If so, please reinstall this extension /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fireworks CS5/Preinstall/REMOVED/AIR Export using Extension Manager CS5
  -        Try updating the patch again.

This should install the update successfully.

Thanks

The approach described below had the same result; installation failed, error code U44M1P7.

Does not install, same problems as above.

Just as long as the update doesn't crash my computer, which Adobe has been known to do in the past!

I can't seem to locate the AIR Export Extension.

However, I do see the Adobe AIR Extension for Fireworks.

Is this the extension that should be removed?

The AIR Export extension is here:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fireworks CS5/Preinstall/REMOVED/AIR Export

The Adobe AIR Extension for Fireworks is the one you see in Extension Manager

this does not exist on my machine.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fireworks CS5/Preinstall/REMOVED/AIR Export

it stops at:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fireworks CS5

there is not Preinstall ...

Just got off the line to Adobe Support and they were able to fix the issue.

This is what worked for me.

1. First of all, don't use the Application Update Manager - it doesn't work for Fireworks. Use the standalone update from

http://www.adobe.com/support/fireworks/downloads_updaters.html

2. Find the folder AAMUpdater at /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater and drag it to the desktop.

3. Do a search for "adobepatchfiles" using the Search area in a Finder window.

4. Move all of the found folders to the trash.

5. Update Fireworks using the standalone updater you downloaded.

6. Move the AAMUpdater folder back to its original location.

This did not work:

  Adobe Fireworks CS5 11.0.1

  Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7

I followed the first part of yachts999's reply and downloaded the updater from the Adobe site. Then, I moved the AAMUpdater folder at /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater and draged it to the desktop as suggested. However, I did not trash the adobepatchfiles as suggested after finding three different folders in three different directories.

When I clicked on the Fireworks updater, the update worked. Fireworks and all the other CS5 other apps are working as well.

It really should not have to be this hard...

Hope this helps.

Adobe's history of making updaters that work has never been that good.

When Macromedia owned Fireworks and Dreamweaver, their updaters ALWaYS WORKED.

Adobe seems to blame their customers when something doesn't wor, when it is they who should to taking the blame>

Quality control seems to be non existent at Adobe>

The only updaters we seem to continuously have trouble with is Adobe, never Apple, Corel, even Quark does a better job and making updaters that work.

have tried everything mentioned in this thread and nothin works.

ADOBE FIX YOU UPDATERS, If you can't then hire an outside vendor to do it correctly

Hello everyone,

     Sorry to note that you are facing problems while updating patch for Fireworks. Could you provide the log files associated with the installer, so that we can analyze the issue? The installer logs are available at the following location:

• On Mac: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/Adobe Fireworks CS5 11.0.1  <date>.log.gz
• On Windows XP: <installdrive>:\Program Files\CommonFiles\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Fireworks CS5 11.0.1  <date>.log.gz
• On Windows Vista / Windows 7: <installdrive>:\Program Files (x86)\CommonFiles\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Fireworks CS5 11.0.1   <date>.log.gz (64-bit Operating system)

                                                       <installdrive>:\Program Files\CommonFiles\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Fireworks CS5 11.0.1   <date>.log.gz (32-bit                    Operating system)

In case of reinstallation, you need not reinstall whole Creative Suite, you can reinstall only Adobe Fireworks and check whether the Update works fine.

Thanks,

FW Team

Yes, Paolo. I agree with that. Uninstalling/Reinstalling entire CS is not an optimum solution.

Is it possible for you to share the log files with me? It is present at the following location: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/Adobe Fireworks CS5 11.0.1  <date>.log.gz.

Pri Herur,

I could not find a specific log for Fireworks, nor in the /Library/ or in ~/Library/ path. What I could find was an Adobe Setup Error.log.gz file, with the same date and time of the latest effort of updating the app. Please find it in your personal mail.

Best regards,

Paolo

Please! Does anyone know why Adobe continues failing? It's getting very worrying when you depend on their software.
