I can't update with these software ARD 3.5

After a ARD client update my ARD Admin 3.5 does not open, I download the ARD update 3.6 but it says "Can't find Apple Remote Desktop"

Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Just double-checking here, but is your version of Remote Destop.app the retail box version that requires a serial number for activation or is it from the Mac App Store?


It won't matter from which directory you open the install package from. It only matters that Remote Desktop.app is in /Applications (and not an Applications folder in your home directory).

I had the same problem and found this discussion. I had downloaded the 3.6 update, and the installer couldn't find ARD anywhere I put it.


The problem seems to be that the 3.6 updater is only able to locate version 3.5.2 of ARD. I was running 3.5.1.


Check your ARD version and, if necessary, run the 3.5.2 updater first.
