+Brent Burzycki Been like that for ages. I thought it was because i already had lightroom when i subscribed to CC but just installed CC on a new computer and its the same. I manually update lightroom
Strange part is it is not like I installed LR seperate first then cloud… Did it all from cloud… But not must think I still have seperate installs… Strange
Adobe's installer/ updater is a mess. Adobe has multiple definitions for "update". Sometimes it means overwrite the existing version with a new rev. other times it means leave you with two versions. Then, at still other times, it means erase OTHER software {i.e. non-cloud Lightroom} as if that is a favor to you, after promising you it would never go away.
And, there is no way to tell in advance which "definition" adobe is using for any given download 🙁

Yes I'm seeing this too on Mac
That's excellent…. because there is nothing I like more than buggy software and installers.. when i pay good money for things to work properly…
Not sure why i am complaining thou as most everything is this way these days…
Played an xbox One game the other day – crashed 5 minutes into gameplay…
you would think someone would catch that…
Yes, but just with lightroom. The other adobe apps I have update as we'd expect.
Which is interesting… I too owned Lightroom separately in the past
I get the same, and I had LR before CC too – clicking 'install' seems to update things ok though

It will no longer allow me to manually update Lightroom – I had to reinstall through CC. And CC is so damned slow!
Just Lightroom. I just told CC to install it. It installed, and now I have 5.7. All the other apps were either updates, or already up to date.
