How do I re-install Bridge CS6 Mac?

Nov 26, 2012 3:11 PM

Having issues with Bridge CS6 on my IMac.

I deleted the files out of the application folder since there was no "uninstall" feature. I also deleted the Bridge CS6 extensions out of the Library.

To re-install Bridge, I uninstalled Photoshop CS6 & then re-installed it - no luck. Tried the same thing with InDesign - no luck. Flash - no luck.

 

So, how do I get Bridge CS6 back on my Mac using Creative Cloud online?

 

thanks

    PS:

    I also did the "command-option-r-p" restart before reinstalling any of the major CS6 components

    Have moved your post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum. They will be able to help you here.

    @morfius007 - I moved the post from the Creative Cloud forum. I do not know the solution to your issue and want the issue to get resolved.

    ah, so you had already moved it when I saw your response

    I saw the bread crumb trail at the top of the post showing I was already in Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum

     

    thanks

    Morifius007 have you tried uninstalling the applicatons using the uninstallers in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers?  In your original message you indicated you dragged the applications to the trash as opposed to utilizing the uninstallers.  This is likely what has lead to your current difficulties.

    This is correct.  Bridge is installed as part of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver.  Please run the uninstaller for each of the applications you have removed and then try reinstalling.  You can also install from the trials available on http://www.adobe.com/ to prevent the need to download the install files again via the Adobe Application Manager.

     

    If you are still facing difficulties then I would recommend removing all currently installed Adobe Creative Software and running the Cleaner Tool.  You can find details for the use of the Cleaner Tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation -problems.html. 

     

    The regular uninstallers may have difficulty uninstalling due to the applications previously being manually removed.  I am recommending the complete removal of Adobe Creative software prior to it's use to prevent additional difficulties from arising if you should need to run the Cleaner Tool.

    ok, will probably try the Cleaner tool - already tried uninstalling/reinstalling InDesign & Photoshop before I deleted the Bridge files & that didn't work

    Ok please make sure to use the available uninstallers prior to using the Cleaner Tool.  The Cleaner Tool is designed to work in conjunction with the standard uninstallers.
