I have CS5 (I got the DVD directly from Adobe), and have been using it for some time with no problems. Now that I have a new camera, I want a more recent version of RAW, so that my camera's RAW files can be read. But inside PS, under Help, the "Updates" tab is grayed out . . . I cannot access it. I tried closing down PS and opening it under "run as administrator" (I have Windows Vista as my OS). Still grayed out.
By hunting around on DPreview.com, I was able to find a direct link for the download. Downloaded the .zip file. Extracted all the files, but there's no .exe file in there. Tried clicking on everything there, just to see if anything would work. Nothing. Downloaded again the Adobe Application Manager. The Manager does not show Camera RAW as one of the 14 available programs to download and/or try.
What's my next step?
