Adobe CC plugin installation

Adobe has removed support from extension manager. As a result, extensions installed using Extension Manager do not appear in the Adobe apps. So, for installing the Zoom plugin in Adobe CC apps, follow these steps for Windows and Mac respectively:

Windows

  1. Close Adobe Extension Manager if it is open.
  2. Navigate to Zoom’s plugin installer folder on your machine. As a default, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Evolphin\DAM\plug-ins\pluginInstaller.
  3. Double click the AdobePluginInstaller_win.bat file to execute it. A window opens up displaying the installation progress.
    Installer_progress

  4. Click Yes on the popup alerting about the new installation. The plugin will continue installing. Once the plugin is installed, the status will be displayed.
    Installer_completed

  5. Press any key to close this dialog.
  6. Open any of the Adobe CC apps. The Evolphin Zoom plugin should appear under Window -> Extensions.Plugin in Photoshop

Mac

  1. Close Adobe Extension Manager if its open.
  2. Navigate to Zoom’s plugin installer folder on your machine. As a default, the path is /Applications/Evolphin/zoom/Resources/plug-ins/pluginInstaller.
