IneptDesign

While trying to patch Adobe InDesign earlier today, I ran into the following error:

I checked Task Manager and confirmed the obvious. No prizes for guessing which program is the ‘Patcher Application’.

Morons.

(The workaround is to extract the update using something like 7-Zip and running the enclosed PatcherApplication.exe manually).

    Excellent. I hate Adobe Reader products with a passion – utter rubbish.

      After years of abusive addiction I’m currently trying to kick my Adobe habit. Have only GIMP and Inkscape installed at work, but haven’t quite got as far as uninstalling Photoshop at home yet… *twitch*

    There are so many…

    That is “Corel Draw cached previews ” whilst using roaming profiles … definitely toilet material.
