CS2 The Adobe Updater could not be started...

go into
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe

Look for the updater folder, make sure it's not "updater5"

If it is, take the 5 off the folder name and it'll work after that

Unfortunatly that didn't work. Updater still fails to start.

You can bypass the Adobe Updater by getting updates from the Adobe site. (If you know what you are looking for it helps.)

Taking the "5" off of the Updater folder worked for me.

its working fine on mine side

u can find that file here

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Updater

file name = AdobeESDGlobalApps

data in file =

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <AdobeUpdaterRegistrationManager>
<Application appID="photoshop9-en_US-RET"> <DisplayName>Adobe Photoshop CS2</DisplayName> <InstallPath>C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\</InstallPath> <PreAppPath></PreAppPath>
