'nother brick to your skull...
So last night, I had cause to use Illustrator CS3. I keep both CS3 and CS4 on my drive, as I have to support users with both versions. The Adobe updater launches.
"The Adobe Updater needs to be updated"
"Okay, go ahead"
"Authenticate please"
"Sure, have fun"
"The Adobe Updater needs to be updated"
"Okay, go ahead"
"Authenticate please"
"...Okay"
"The Adobe Updater needs to be updated"
"Okay, go ahead"
"Authenticate please"
"...Didn't I just...<sigh> okay, fine"
"The Adobe Updater needs to be updated"
"Okay, go ahead"
"Authenticate please"
"...I.said.go.ahead"
"The Adobe Updater needs to be updated"
"Okay, go ahead"
"Authenticate please"
"FUCK OFF, I'M NOT UPDATING YOU, EAT SHIT AND DIE"
Yet another, another, another reason why Adobe's overcomplicated installer philosphy is bad. I had no idea what the problem was, there was never an error. It would auth, download, and bam, goto 10.
Logs? We don't need no steenking logs! If it doesn't install, it's your fault! Why you run other software besides CS?
I wish I could bill them for all the hours I've wasted with this kind of shit.

Warning for Notes users: The commenting system uses HTML.I know this will be scary for some of you, especially Notes fans. However, open standards, rah-rah.
If you want to use less-than or greater-than signs, or other similar charachters that HTML reserves,
you'll simply have to learn to do it the HTML way. Luckily, HTML is kind of popular, no matter what
your re-educators have told you, and you can easily find help on the intertubes.
