I know this is probably beating a dead horse but I haven’t had much luck searching.   Is there an easier way to deploy updates to all of the CS6 applications that are a part of the Masters Collection or is the only option to download each update individually, import them, and designate them as updates for The CS6 Masters Collection package?

Thanks,

Brian van Stokkum

Which actually does a poor job of solving the problem. There's no way to get a list of what's going to be updated, so you can't warn users to close affected applications.

If you run the updates, and users have affected applications open, the updates will fail.

So "fine," you say, "I'll just run RUM when no-one is logged in -- that way no affected applications are open!"

But a number of Adobe updates fail to install properly when no-one is logged in...
