I would also like to know something about this update?

Judging from past experiences details are hard to come by.  Usually they just say fixed misc. bugs.

If there are major fixes the official notice will be several days away.

From what I can gather CSXS is part of the CS Extansions system. When I installed this update this morning it was listed as being part of pretty much every CS application. As for what this patch in particular does... No idea. This post is the first thing that comes up when I search for information on the update, and Adobe has no security buletins released today, so Curt Y's "misc. bugs" prediction seems accurate.

As to why you need to restart, if any part of Adobe's startup helpers/daemons were using the extension system while the update was running, then the update may request a restart. I did not need to restart on my Windows Vista or OS X 10.7 machines, so it may be a Windows XP "feature".

Well, I can tell you that I think part of it related to a Creative Cloud subscription was to install a "Adobe Content Viewer" that has the same little purple book icon as seen on the page for the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite: http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-single/features .html

And it views "folios" - I just noticed it there suddenly and I'm pretty sure it didn't come with the CS6 install of InDesign/Photoshop, etc.. as part of my Cloud subscription prior to this. I noticed it immediately after the upgrade ran and went "What's that?"

I could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing it before this.

This should be helpful.. at least a little.

Isn't it obvious?  [Ps] was updated! 

I applied the update yesterday (or maybe it was the day before; it's all a gaussian blur).  All went well and everything still seems to work.

"1-n Adobe products", that's a new term/concept for me.  Off to Google it.

Not a technical term, really.  Read it in context as "one to several Adobe products".

R Kelly, Kind of my whole point... If the program is using an auto update or an update feature, then it should be able to tell what version of the software you are using. If it is NOT part of the update regime, then DON'T try and update. It is within the Adobe undate manager.  It also took three goes at updating before it allows the error message to be read. Could be an interface issue with ???  

Managing how software updates are going to work across multiple versions is more difficult than you might think.  Add in a public beta and things get even more complicated.

I assume people are still using the public beta until such time as it expires, so as to delay the start of a 30 day trial of the released version.

For those who are:  It's a beta - you're on your own now, since the product has been released.  Isn't it kind of silly to report problems with it?  Non-applicable update or not, you're getting more value than you paid for.

I don't mean to be critical, but I'm also quite aware that things like "beta tests" require a certain additional wherewithall that not everyone possesses.  I also know my own limitations.

There are just things - in life, and on computers - that you have to be willing to take responsibility for.

If you walked up to a ski slope as a beginner and there was a big sign that said Beginners -> pointing to one slope, and another slope off the other way with just little sign with just a black diamond on it but no big letters, would you just go merrily down the black diamond slope and assume that someone will have set everything up to protect you from danger?

Some of us have had no problems whatsoever navigating the betas and releases and understanding what's happening.  Is it because someone is there holding our hand, or is it maybe because we have worked to gain knowledge that allows us to participate with sufficient situational awareness to get things right?

Let me put it simply, and I'm sorry if this seems blunt:  If you don't have the technical prowess to deal with the additional integration responsibilities needed to try beta software, maybe you shouldn't try beta software.

-Noel

Honestly, I'm having trouble understanding just what's being argued, and I'm sorry if I've stepped on toes with my "education beats guardrails" views.  It's not my intention to insult anyone.

I appreciate your feedback, and I promise to try to be less of a smarta** fanboy/guru/almighty know-it-all.

Just curious, why are you all so mistrustful of Adobe? It's not as if they are installing spyware on your computer. You should always keep any software you use up to date, especially Acrobat/Reader because by not updating you expose yourself to vulnerabilities for malware, which you really do need to be worried about.

CSXS 3.0.2 ... fixes none of the reported bugs in CS6.

With all due respect, you can't know that.  It fixes none of those you reported, perhaps.

In the particular case of 3.0.1 (the original subject of THIS thread) Adobe finally did document that the fix was to make it possible for people with certain special characters in their Adobe ID to actually use the CS6 software.  I'm a bit miffed they didn't bother to document why 3.0.2 was released, though.  Edit:  I see SG has clarified that in the other thread.

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you.

If this did not appear along with the update please let me know.

The dialog did not put up any substantive info.  This is all I saw.  Should I have pressed the [About] button?  I neglected to do so.
