V4, V5, V6 clarification #82

First of all, thanks so much for this work...had been looking for several years for a method to get older installers for Adobe apps, for which I am paying the full monthly subscription but wish to run on older hardware.

It worked great for me, but it might be helpful for other users to clarify that when you are initially choosing which method to use (V4, V5, V6) that those version numbers refer to the matching version number of the Adobe "Desktop app" that is needed to complete the installation. Couldn't figure out why the same installer packages worked perfectly on my setup but not on a new computer I was setting up, but it was because I used the V4 xml to download them, and was trying to install them using Adobe Desktop App v6.something on the 2nd Mac.

The choice of V4, V5 or V6 also dictates which application versions are offered, e.g. older Lightroom 10 is not available when you choose V6, but is available when you choose V4.
