      <description>&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyStart:c5748eec-2896-4806-91a1-31ca174f6fe9] --&gt;&lt;div class="jive-rendered-content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hate that terrible Application Manager. Or the Update Manager. Or Installation Manager. Or whatever name it wants to have that pretends a functionality it doesn't do very well. After some initial fuss with the CC installation back in the summer, it seemed to be running fine for a while. But the recent December 11 update brought it back to the usual state of cluelessness and helplessness that I'm used to...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This time it was partially my fault. I truly thought I had not downloaded the Photoshop and Illustrator updates yet, so it seems to have done that automatically. So when I frantically tried updating them (through the menu), the AAM showed no available updates. Trying to download and install the updates manually from Adobe's Product Updates webpage was also -obviously- in vain. The installation said "This update is not for you" or something vague like that. (I would thankfully have accepted it if it told me "You already have it, dumbo".)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But looking further into the parade of these updates, I noticed that the Edge Animate and Muse updates were NOT installed ! AAM didn't have a clue and Edge Animate didn't warn me. Only Muse prompted its update (upon opening) and swiftly installed itself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;These processes would be much easier and more comfortable if that stupid AAM would be clearer and less error-prone. It could at least show some version numbers and dates, so I can see what versions I have and what might be available. BTW, why aren't the Edge and Muse updates mentioned in that Product Updates webpage at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.adobe.com/nl/downloads/updates" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.adobe.com/nl/downloads/updates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And why not inform users properly at the Creative Cloud page at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://creative.adobe.com/apps" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;https://creative.adobe.com/apps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; ? I have to go through a carroussel of banners at the top of the page, to find this crucial update information. And again, some version numbers and dates would be helpful here, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:c5748eec-2896-4806-91a1-31ca174f6fe9] --&gt;&lt;img src='/beacon?t=1415899365370' /&gt;</description>
