All,

recently we run into a bug in Extension Manager CS5 and CS5.5 that prevented extensions from being installed on Mac OS 10.7. The problem had to do with accessing the system root keychain on MacOS. While we are working on making an update to Extension Manager available in the next 2 weeks through Adobe Update Manager (AUM), we are making a fix available today to developers and end users. Attached are two zip files that contain the fix and instructions on how to apply it:
exman50.zip – applies for Extension Manager 5.0 users
exman55.zip – applies for Extension Manager 5.5 users

Note 1: Applying the manual fix is not necessary. You could still wait until the update through AUM is available.
Note 2: The fix we make available is different than the one that will be available through AUM.
Note 3: No update is necessary for CS Extension Builder or the CS SDK.

You can also find the entire thread on the Adobe Forums here.

Thank you for your patience. For any questions, please reply directly to the thread above.

    Unfortunately it was after the update through the Adobe Updater not possible to load the appropriate extensions to the system. The Photoshop Extension Manager reported again and again “The extension has no valid signature and the installation is aborted.” I have tried the Fotolia.zxp.

      the update to Extension Manager that fixes this issue is not currently available. The only way to address this issue on Lion is so far is to use the zip files mentioned in the blogpost.

    I can’t find an Adobe Update Manager anywhere on my computer. Where is this located? I’ve done every search I could think of.

      Mona,
      as i mentioned in my reply above the update to Extension Manager (through Adobe Updater) is not yet available. Still you can access the Updater from Help > Updates in any Creative Suite application.

    Unfortunately, the update doesn’t fix anything. For me it’s made things worse. I don’t understand how a company as large as Adobe can let an issue like this continue to go on.
    This has been going on since October and it’s now February! Just fix it already.

    I’m actually trying to figure out why the menu bar icon for AUM is missing on workstations after upgrading from 10.6.8 to Lion.

    In the past, the AUM / Extension Manager icon was there, with a number indicating how many updates were available on our local AUM server.

    Thanks

    Victor
