Adobe Download Assistant Buttons Frozen

I couldn't find my CS5.5 Master Collection disks, so I tried to download it. At first the Download Assistant came up and showed a screen with a picture of some product boxes but would take no input.
I removed AIR and the Adobe Download Assistant from Programs and Features on Win 7 x64. I downloaded new versions and installed.
Now it comes up and displays a license agreement. The scroll bar and the hyperlinks work. However the Quit, Accept, Help, and SignIn buttons don't work.
What could be the problem?
Thanks,
David

It is an AIR application. Perhaps there is some other application interferring. I would recommend trying the steps listed in Disable startup items, services | Windows and then trying to use the Adobe Download Assistant again.

Adobe Download Assistant, Photoshop Elements 11

Altho' I've tried many times over the past few days, I've been unable to download Photoshop Elements 11 using the Adobe Download Assistant.
I received an email from Adobe inviting me to download Elements 11, with a key to convert the trial version to a full version, which is an upgrade for me. I think this is because I wa never able to download a workable Elements 10. It constantly crashed, and sometimes brought my computer down with it.
I'd love to do download a working version of Elements 10, and have spent many hours trying, but nothing ever results from the Adobe Download Assistant.
Now it's telling me (in tiny grey letters on a black background) "The download product installation appears to be corrupted. (Error 108) Use the 'reset product download button' to try to download it again." Unfortunately, there is no reset product download button to use. I have clicked on a down arrow which produced a selection of whether to restart the download or continue trying with the download already started. I've chosen to restart the download. Unfortunately, nothing has changed on the window, and it is still telling me about the corrupted download.
I have no idea what the next step is or where to go to determine whether this whole thing is a hoax or whether it will download Elements 11. If it does, will Elements 11 work?
Can anybody out there help?

Key please see solution 3 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_3 for information on how to reset the Adobe Download Assistant.
If you continue to face difficulties then you may wish to initiate a direct download of the software. You can find directions on how to accomplish this at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

Adobe Download Assistant not working after bluescreen

I like to get the trial for Photoshop Elements 10 but the ADA is broken:
Under Windows 7 I already used the ADA to download and install Adobe Premiere 10 successfully a week ago.
Then I tried to get Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 but my system crashed with a bluescreen. The computer is fine again but ADA is not working anymore:
- after startup it doesn't list any (!!!) product to download. The list is just empty
- I can enter my username and password and click login. Then the buttons are greyed out and nothing else happens. I have to kill the application with the task manager then.
- I can apply for a new user account but it greys out and gets stuck like as the login.
- The help buttons lead to empty Pages in the web browser.
I tried to uninstall ADA and reinstall it (two times) but the behaviour stays the same.
I tried to find direct download links (the FAQs told me that there should be some) but every download page will use the ADA. I'd be fine with a plain ftp page for the trials. :-)
I'm an IT professional but I've no idea how to get ADA working, wiped from disk to get it reinstalled or to download the trials on another way. Please help.

I will try to install at a different location this afternoon.
The other thread handles a different situation: "... the Adobe Download Assistant launches, asks me to sign in ... I get a nice "Welcome, Steve" message ... and a list of related products below with links to download their trials ... The Help link takes me to an Adobe Download Assistant FAQ page ..."
- I cannot sign in and don't get a welcome message.
- I don't see a list of products.
- The help link takes me to an empty page.
BUT: where does the ADA get the list of products from? Is it online or local? If everything is online where I am blocked (sign in, list, help), I'll check the firewall. Perhaps the bluescreen crash changed something.

Downloading a trial - problem with the Adobe Download Assistant

Q: What is the Adobe Download Assistant?
A: Trial versions of Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Premiere Elements are downloaded using the Adobe Download Assistant — a small application that is meant to improve download reliability and avoid issues that commonly occur during large downloads, such as frequent disconnects. After the trial product is downloaded, Adobe Download Assistant should automatically start installing the product.
Q: I installed the Adobe Download Assistant, but my trial didn't download?
A: Under certain conditions, the Adobe Download Assistant installs but does not immediately start downloading the trial product. If this happens:
1. Quit the Adobe Download Assistant.
2. In your browser, return to the product trial download page on Adobe.com. Refresh the page, then click the Download now button again and follow the prompts.
Important: When you start the download, be sure to select your User folder or Desktop folder. A common cause of errors are due to attempts to download the Adobe Download Assistant to the Program Files/Applications folder. The Adobe Download Assistant only downloads the trial application files. Once the download is complete it will launch the application installer; when the installer is launched you can then choose to install the actual trial application into the Program Files/Application folder.
For more info, see
Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
or
Adobe Download Assistant FAQ
Q: I've have a problem on Windows 7. The download manager just sits there, and does nothing, even after I navigate back to the trial page. It turns out that you can't install Flash in the Programs folder. You have to pick a different folder for ADA to actually work?
A: You are correct, the Adobe Download Assistant does not have sufficient permission to save files to the Program Files folder. If you run the Adobe Download Assistant as an administrator, or save to a different location (for example, in your Users folder), this should resolve the issue.
Q: When I try and download the Creative Suite Design Premium the Download Assistant opens and I log in. On the top it says "Welcome, User" but on the bottom right below the action bar for the download it says "Sign in ith your Adobe ID to continue" and the action/download bar just sits there. I have quit and restarted numerous times and even left it running all night. Nothing is working though. I have Windows 7 Home Premium and see no error messages.
A: Try opening your browser by right-clicking in the start-programs menu and select "Run as Administrator".
Q: I am trying to download the Premiere trial version onto Windows. I had no issues installing Adobe Download Assistant, however when I tried to log in, it came up with error 100, claiming it could not communicate with the internet.
A: Many of the errors which forum users are experiencing with the download process is due to trying to download to the Program Files/Applications folder. This seems to cause Error 100, 101, 107, and even problems with being able to extract the install files after the download completes. The Adobe Download Assistant is only downloading the install files. Once the download is complete it will then launch the installer. Once the installer itself is launched you can then install to the Program Files/Application folder.
Q: I've tried everything and nothing works. I'm really frustrated and I don't know what else to do. How can I download a trial?
A: Another way to get trials of Adobe software is to sign-up for a Free Creative Cloud Membership. With Creative Cloud Membership you can download full, downloadable 30-day trials of all our CS6 Master Collection straight to your desktop, and store up to 2GB of files. Alternately, you can review http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 which provides information on how to obtain direct downloads.

I have suddenly become computer illiterate... that's the only conclusion I can draw from my total failure to install the Premiere Pro CS6 trial version for Mac.
Step1: I downloaded the Adobe Downloader Assistant installer and installed ADA in the default location (/Applications), which then was followed by said ADA launch. I logged in, selected PP and started a 2 hrs download of a 1.7 GB file.
Step2: I come back after a while and find a nice DVD icon on my Desktop, reading PP CS6: Great! I quit ADA and open that folder, to find another folder in it, with 3 subfolders and an "Install" application. Click on it. Nada. Reclick on it. Same + an error -1704 "can't open application".
Step3-30: I am cutting a long story short, but after reading all the support threads I could find, trying to reinstall ADA on my desktop, relog on the website, restart and cancel PP CS6 download a few times (without ADA noticing that there was already a 1.7 GB corresponding to that same file), and repeatedly failed to launch the install.app, I decided to act stupidely and remove all files and go to:
Step 31: reinstall ADA, re-download PP CS6.
Step 32: I waited after the install, nothing happened so I went to the new PP CS6 "DVD" and found the "install" app, which reliably did not start anything.
Step 33: I rebooted. After the reboot, the DVD was gone, replaced by an empty folder of the same name...
Step 34: me typing all this... I am using a 2011 iMac running Lion and Creative Suite CS 5.5. Thanks for any pointers...

Adobe Download assistant won't download CS5.1? error 106?

I click download and chose to put it in the program files (x86) -> adobe. I click ok then it doesn't do anything. i click download again and it says there is already a program waiting to be downloaded (error 106). I removed the assistant and tried again and got the same thing.

Soccermaverick25 I would recommend choosing a different location to download the install files too. You typically only want fully installed applications to be within Program Files (x86). It is also probable that you are having problems with being able to write to that location using the Adobe Download Assistant.
Beyond changing the download location I would also recommend the following steps:
Error 106 occurs if you have previously initiated a download and then started a second download of a different trial product before the first download finishes.
Click OK to dismiss the Error 106 message.
In the Adobe Download Assistant, check the products in your download queue. Click the Resume button if the original download is paused.

Adobe Download Assistant won't let me accept the Terms and Conditions, freezes computer.

I downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant today, and when the Terms and Conditions pops up, it won't let me click the Accept or Quit button. I'm trying to accept so I can download the trial of Photoshop CS6/CS6 Extended and the program freezes after the Terms and Conditions comes up. Therefore, I can't accept and move on to download.
I tried going to the troubleshooting page for the program and it doesn't have anything relating to this problem.
Thanks in advance!

that would be a firewall setting so if your firewall is disabled, that setting is irrelevant.
you could use a direct download of ps cs6, if you follow all 7 steps: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
if you see a dl error page, you did not follow all 7 steps.
you can also, uninstall adobe download assistant and try reinstalling.

Where is CS 5.5 Design Standard in Adobe Download Assistant?

Hi,
First my platform is Mac. And I am user form UK (Europe).
I am traing to upgrade CS 5 Design Standard to CS 5.5 . I cant finde any direct download so I decide I will download trial version and after that I will bay upgrade key for $ 299 from adobe store online. When I go to Adobe Dwonload Assistant I cant finde CS 5.5 Design Standard is only CS 5.5 Designe Premium version in there.
Am I looking in wrong place? I use help and it says it should be there. Is it any easyer way to upgrade ? Please help?
Many Thanks
Bartek

Jeff,
Thanks for the prompt and informative reply. I have now resolved my problem and successfully downloaded (and installed) CS 5.5 Design Standard.
If you want to investigate in order to help other customers, here's the full story.
I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on a brand-new high-performance laptop (HP Pavilion dv7t). My default browser is Firefox (version 9.0.1).
When I clicked the Download button on the CS 5.5 Design Standard page (the one you provided the link to, which I had already found & used), the Adobe Download Assistant was downloaded and subsequently installed. But when I ran it, there was no download of the product queued up:
Logging in didn't change that situation:
After reading your reply (and now armed with the knowledge of what behavior to expect), I decided to try again. To eliminate any potential artifacts of my previous failed attempt, I first uninstalled Adobe Download Assistant, and then did the download again. Unfortunately, the result was exactly the same as before (i.e. as shown in my screenshots above).
So then (while holding my nose) I tried doing the download using Internet Exploder Exploiter Explorer 9 instead of Firefox. [As before, I uninstalled Adobe Download Assistant to start wilth a clean slate.] The first time I clicked on the Download button, a message appeared that said my download would start soon, but after waiting 10 minutes, nothing had happened. So I reloaded the page and clicked the button again. This time it worked properly (exactly as you had described) and I was able to download the product.
BTW, I began my evaluation of the trial product by using the new Photoshop, and I can see (and appreciate) many improvements and new features (I had been using CS4 previously). I expect I will be purchasing an upgrade.
Again, thanks for helping me get beyond a frustrating situation.

Adobe Download Assistant doesn't show me CS6 Design Standard as an option. Why?

Adobe Download Assistant doesn't show me CS6 Design Standard as an option. Why?

Hi Elliot, the link that I had no longer works. Apparently we are not alone in this. I got the link by going to Adobe Support and starting a chat with an Adobe rep. I believe that I went through a series of windows under CS6 Design Standard and clicked a button that said, "I still need help." I think that started the chat. Good luck!

While trying to install the trial version of Adobe Illutratotor, i encounter the problem of adobe download assistant being unresponsive when i try to click accept or even when i try to close the program. The only way to close the program is to close it via ending its process in task manager.
I have tried trying to tab to accept and i can see the outline around the button but nothing happens when i hit enter.
Im using Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
Here is a picture of what it looks like.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Downloading a trial version - Adobe Download Assistant queue not showing

At first the download for the trial (for Illustrator) didn't even start and when I went to the solutions, I followed the instruction to simply restart ADA but it gave me the Error 106 that a download was already underway. Unfortunately, the queue is not showing up when I sign in at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I've already been to this page:
Solution 4
Error 106 occurs if you have previously initiated a download and then started a second download of a different trial product before the first download finishes.
Error 105 occurs if you have started to download a product that is already downloading in the ADA queue.
Click OK to dismiss the Error 105 or Error 106 message.
In the Adobe Download Assistant, check the products in your download queue. Click the Resume button if the original download is paused.
The problem is that I cannot see my download queue at all to do anything related to the download.

Can't start Adobe Download Assistant correctly

When I start ´the Download Assistant, a text box with legal terms appears. In this box there are two buttons that I can press. None of these works and at the same time it is impossible to shut down the program... I have tried to reinstall but nothing works ... Please help me. I want to start with CS6!
And yes, I am running on Windows 7.

From the behavior you are describing it sounds like a software firewall is preventing the Adobe Download Assistant from connecting to the Internet. Please try configuring your software firewall to allow access.
Alternately you can initiate a direct download by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

Mac CS6 Suite Adobe Download Assistant Error 110, 109, 108

Hello,
I am the IT Director for a Small College Campus and we are having problems with the Adobe Download Assistant in regards to downloading the Mac Adobe CS6 Trials. Regarding specifically the Design and Master Suites. I was able to download the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI trial as well as the Photoshop CS6 trial without problem, but when downloading the full Suite trial, I consistantly first get the 110 error, then if I try to restart the download from where it left off, I get an error 109 or 108. The download typically goes fine until the last couple percent, but near the end I get the error and can not restart the download short of starting over completely, in which case the cycle repeats.
I've done everything in Solution 1 of http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html, with no success. I am also able to download the Windows version of the trial suites, inside a Parallels virutal machine running Windows 7 without error, on the same machine that gives me the error for the Mac version. It seems to only affect the Mac downloads. I tested the same download on the same machine, but off-campus and was able to complete the download, so I think it may have to be a communication error in regards to our firewall, but I'm not sure why it would only effect the Mac Suite downloads. Taking down our firewall completely is not an option.
I have tried multiple browsers to start the ADA install from, as well as multiple machines running different operating system versions (Mac 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.7 Lion/10.6 Snow Leopard - I'm not sure exactly which previous version it was) with no success. Both computers were on an Ethernet, hardline connection; no wireless. Any suggestions would be appreciated as our production department is starting a Creative Cloud account and would like to be able to use the download manager instead of the direct download links, from another support topic, I have provided them with for the time being, as they can be difficult to find at times, as well as less reliable.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Creative Cloud uses the Adobe Application Manager as opposed to the Adobe Download Assistant. You are right though the error messages which you are posting indicate a failure of the network connection. Since the same computer works off your college network it does sound like a configuration problem with your firewall configuration.
I would recommend working with the manufacturers of your firewall to determine how to properly allow access. You may also want to review Sign in or activation errors | CS6, CS5.5 Subscriptions, CS6 Perpetual - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html which does provide some guidence for general system related errors.

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine?

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine. When i try to start it i get a message saying "Sorry an error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." Any ideas what to do

Are you using Mac OS? If so please try removing the Adobe Download Assistant from your Applications folder and try again. This issue is documented in the Known Issues section of Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html.
