    Adobe Application Manager Stopped working

    malcolangelo Community Member

      I have had the same problem as in many discussions, in which there seems to be few solutions. My AAM stopped working no specific error, I followed the idea of uninstalling all my creative cloud apps and started again only to have the AAM do exactly the same thing once downloaded and installed , now I have a paid subscription and no apps. Now when i click on AAM exe download file I get , "we've encountered the following issues: Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect problem." I have found this and will try to see if int gives any further information. It seems I have the AAM exe file somewhere but now cant find it.

      My system is Windows XP SP3.I have used the Adobe cleaner.

          Download the latest version of AAM here and install it:

            Hi Mylenium,

             

            Tried that and same result “Download Error”, Download error. Press retry to try again or contact Customer support. May have to try phone support tomorrow. This has been going on  for  a week trying various things so as a last resort i did the total uninstall and my fears were realised, no app or access. I tried chat last week and got put over to tech support for no response. Thanks for trying to help though.

              Back to this problem,

              After some time for no reason AAM decided to work again, can't remeber quite when now as have used a Windows Vista, Wndows 7 and windows 8 laptops I have acces too which all seem to work fine however they are not my computers and would like to use my windows XP desktop for the majority of my apps and unfortunately even though my AAM started working again as in it comes up and shows updates the updates do not work and the message says,  "There was an error installing this update. Please try agaiin later or contact customer support (U44M1I216)".

              Previously I reloaded all apps as trials and then licensed with my Adobe ID.

                The U44M1I216 error indicates that the update did not apply correctly.  Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to review the install logs for the update.  You should be able to determine the exact cause of failure by looking within the log files.

                    The DW063 error indicates that you have a file permission issue with the indicated directories.  I would recommend going to a parent directory adjusting the file permissions and applying the permission change to all child objects.  You can find details on how to adjust your file permissions at Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html.

                        Hi Jeff,

                        No succes unfortunately, still the same error. What about the fact that the log does not seem to be updating to todays date?

                        Becoming a little frustrated.

                          The log files are appended so you would want to search from the bottom of the document up to find the updated logs.

                           

                          You may also want to try creating a new local administrator account and see if the file permissions are compromised under the new account.

                            The logs only show the creation date throughout the log on rhe left side nothing relating to the dates I have tried to update the application.I would expect the 27th of March yo show up if anything was happening to the log. I will try the new administrator.
