Hi, Try the Check for Updates button and see where it takes you. If you need an update, it should take you to the Adobe site where you’ll probably download something similar, if not the same, as you already have. We’ll see how it goes from there.

When I press this, the advanced tabe is automatically selected. I don't see anywhere what version I've got installed. There's just an check for updates button. the adobe installation helper area says content is empty. It's totally weird. Please can you tell me how to check for my version? I downloaded the dmg file last week so I suspect I'm trying to install the latest one. Thank you.
