Last week after reading about Flex Builder updates in Artima.com, I decided to update my Flex Builder 3.  So I fired up my Flex Builder 3 and go to:-

Help->Search for Flex Builder Updates...  

However, nothing happens.  After googling for a while, I found out that the Adobe Updater is not installed, you need to execute Setup.exe in the following directory:-

{YOUR_FLEX_BUILDER_INSTALL_DIRECTORY}/AMT\AdobeAUM5.1All.win.installer/Setup.exe

Once it's setup, select again (try restart Flex Builder if it doesn't work):-

Help->Search for Flex Builder Updates...

The update process should be started.

Just wonder why it is not installed during installation of Flex Builder 3?

<p>Thanks for the tip on where to look to solve this problem.&nbsp; Interestingly enough, the 'Search for Flex Builder Updates...' worked for me last night, but I decided not to update last night, so I shut it down.&nbsp; I then went and uninstalled my CS3 suite (I hadn't uninstalled it yet, after installing Design Premium CS4) and went to bed...&nbsp; So tonight, I went back to update Flex Builder, and the update didn't work.&nbsp; After following your instructions, the setup.exe file caused the CS3 software manager to reinstall, which in turn caused the Flex Builder update to work...&nbsp; So, (in my case at least) it looks like the update feature is tied to CS3 somehow.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks for the tip!</p> <p>Heath</p>

<p>I didn't have CS3 suite installed before, I believe that explains why my Adobe Updater was not installed too.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; :D</p>
