installed aam6 onto cs5, need aam for cs5 win please

[jmichae1]

I didn't want to have to reinstall cs5. was having problems with updates on xp. I must have misread the download that was linked to a cs5 article that's linked to a cs6 aam (there's even one with cs7 aam I think). now I need to backrev aam to the cs5 version so things might update again.

and articles like it

can anyone please supply me with a download link to the aam for cs5 for windows? I just need to get things working again, and I can't seem to find it on the adobe site amid the thousands of links.

thanks.

I don't think the aam is involved, but you can acquire the trial version of CS5 from the page linked below as long as you first follow the Very Important Instructions...

CS5: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html

You can then use your CS5 serial number to activate it to full use.

I said I don't want to reinstall cs5 master collection. it takes 1-2 days to do that + time to reconfig everything (weeks).

all I wanted to do was reinstall aum or aam for cs5, whichever was the original program.

if I could do it from the discs I have, I would, but I can't find it on the discs.

it's nice to be able to download cs5 if I need it for whatever reason, but I have original discs.

I suppose you are telling me I should just reinstall from scratch that there's no other way to reinstall the orignal aam/aum for cs5? it would make sense. I just had such an AWFUL time trying to even get cs5 to reinstall on this xp box after windows died from filesystem corruption(bit rot) and I there was no way to "deactivate" - or delete all of the old files off the hard drive, even with booting a linux livecd.

cs5 must embed itself deeply into the filesystem or something. there were several files and therefore several dirs I could not delete.

cs5 would therefore mess up during installs onto a different drive because it "detected that it was installed already" or would throw some error.

all I wanted was some way to reinstall the AAM/AUM for cs5 (whatever it's called) itself. with some install instructions, because the instructions for aam6 were pretty detailed and manual if I remember right (memory isn't too good past 2 weeks, and this was months). I wish I will  had the link for that page. I think it got dropped by a very familiar browser bookmarks bug nobody knows how to reproduce.

from some reading I am doing, apparently I should be installing aam7. so that's what I am trying now until a better answer comes along. maybe there were no more updates beyond .04
