A fix to successfully apply the Photoshop G5 Update

I ran into the same problem a few other folks have reported: Adobe's Photoshop 7.0.1 G5 Update would quit after complaining that I needed to update Photoshop 7.0 to 7.0.1 ... even though I already had. Running the 7.0.1 updater again didn't resolve the problem. Here's what did the trick:
- Back up your copy of the Photoshop 7.0 file.
- Control-click on the file and choose "Show package contents" from the context-sensitive menu.
- In the Contents folder, open the file Info.plist in the Property List Editor application.
- Twirl down the "Root" triangle to reveal the various properties.
- Change the string for CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion from 7.0 to 7.0.1, and save the file.
- Launch the G5 updater and either (a) revel in your success, or (b) curse me for getting your hopes up.
[robg adds: I don't have the full Photoshop, so I can't test this one ... though I hope Adobe releases an enabler for Elements (but I'm not holding my breath!].
