Adobe Download Assistant does not respond

I have been racking my brain for days attempting to fix this. I am attempting to download a trial, but the installtion process of Adobe Download Assistant will not complete. After I click "Agree" on the Adobe AIR Licensing Agreement, the screen closes and nothing happens. I have downloaded Adobe Download Assistant to my desktop, I have disabled all firewalls/protection programs, and pretty much EVERYTHING suggested online, but still nothing. If I attempt to download a trial, the Adobe Download Assistant opens, attempts to install, and then once I get to the Adobe AIR Licesnsing Agreement, I hit "AGREE" and the download assistant closes and will go no further. PLEASE help me! I am using Windows XP 2007.

After following the steps found in the link above, a window popped up stating that my computer was currently running the most recent update of Adobe AIR. Yet the Adobe Download Assistant will not open past the Adobe AIR Licesnsing Agreement box, which I have "Agreed" to. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe AIR three times. I have downloaded everything to my desktop, as suggested, ran as the administrator, but still NOTHING. Any other suggestions? I have downloaded content from Adobe before successfully without using the Adobe Download Assistant, never had any issues at all. I have uninstalled and re-installed all of the necessary applications, and still no luck. I have been messing with this for 4 days! I am the administrator of the computer I am downloading to, there should be no restrictions.

  • Re: Downloading a trial - Adobe Download Assistant does not respond

    Pretty much the same problem as everyone else:
    OSX 10.6.8 and FF 9.0.1 (also tried Safari) trying to download trial of PS Elements, no Automatic Graphics Switching in my Energy Saver settings, the Troubleshoot advises to retry the download... done this a few times over, turned off wi-fi connection just about every time to make sure that's not an issue either. No luck.
    Like others have said, this "small application that is meant to improve download reliability" is obviously the problem. Download managers remind me AOL and K-Mart. Let's just get a direct download of the file.

    What exact error do you get, if any? Where are you reying to download to? did you follow al lthe suggestions laid out in the troubleshooting guide?

  • Adobe Download Assistant does not begin or give an option for InCopy trial download

    I've downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant four times. It does not immediately begin my InCopy trial download, and there is no option within the assistant to begin this download. (I only want InCopy, not InDesign). What now?

    The download will be initiated from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=incopy&loc=en_us and wil still utilize the Adobe Download Assistant.  If this is not working for you then please try a different web browser.

  • Mac OSX 10.9.4 - Adobe Download Assistant does not display any products to download

    I am attempting to download the free 30 day trial of Acrobat XI Pro, and I downloaded and installed Adobe Download assistant to do so.  I successfully created an Adobe ID and have verified it.  However, when I log in with my ID into the Adobe Download Assistant, no products display as being available for download (or display - period - before or after logging in).  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but no luck.  The screen I am looking at is as follows:
    Is there something I'm missing?  I can go to "Select product" and select either "Photography", "Video" or "PDF", but when I click any of the options, nothing happens.
    I couldn't seem to find a comparable problem on the forums.  Any help would be appreciated, especially insofar as I am trying to evaluate whether to purchase the product in question.

  • Adobe Download Assistant does not work

    Hi everyone!
    I have very big problem with Adobe Download Assistant. I tried download Adobe Premier Pro CS5 trial. I downloaded ADA, and there is not a list of trials... It looks like:

    It is polish version of ADA.
    Could someone help me? It is very important for me

    I would recommend implementing solution 1 listed in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_1.

  • Adobe Download Assistant Will Not Recognize My Adobe ID

    I've been an Adobe customer / forum user since before ID's were tied to email addresses.  My product registrations going back to 1996 through CS 5.5 apps are recorded under that ID.  Since I have to change my email address every couple years to escape spammers, I do not want to change my Adobe ID (and go through the hassle of re-recording the record of registered apps) to a "fluid" ID like an email address.
    Automatic registration and now Adobe Download Assistant will not accept an Adobe ID that is not an email address, yet I can still use it to 'manually' register new / upgrade product purchases.  The problems this poses are two-fold:
    Since I can only manually register new / upgrade products, I cannot obtain any "registration bonus" downloads.
    I cannot download trial versions of apps I want to check out.
    Adobe needs to get its act together and tell its gen-X / Millenials / Kid Web and software development staff that not all Adobe IDs are email addresses, but might also be a unique user ID string.
    Further, due to an individual's email address volatitility (virtually everyone in my email address book had their email address change every 2- 3 years due to ISP demise, merger, personal relocation, job change etc.), Adobe should return to - or at least give precedence to - the model of UID / PW authentication instead of email address / PW authentication.  This would lower Adobe maintenance effort / cost for user accounts as one could simply sign in with UID + PW and change email address for the account as necessary.  As it is now, Adobe CANNOT deal with a user whose email address changes. 
    When Adobe changed from UID precedence to email precedence, I could not register Acrobat Pro (2007) during registration so I used my email address at that time to register the product.  When that email address ceased to exist, I tried to get Adobe to transfer that registration to my old [non-email address] Adobe ID, and, over several months of email exchanges, they ended up admitting they could not do it.  I could not make the change as the SN was already marked as used in there system so simply re-registering it to my existing account wouldn't work either.
    This has been an ongoing issue with "legacy" users since 2006 at least, and NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP!!!!

    There you go MISSING THE POINT AGAIN!! My Registered products WILL NOT FOLLOW MY UID IF I CHANGE IT, NEVER DID SINCE 2007.  Saying the will is false information which I alerted Adobe to back in 2007 and is a problem y'all never fixed.    
    Just a little over a week ago, I got I got LightRoom 4 ug from a LR 3 I had purchased in March.  Signing on with my legacy UID (non-email) allowed me ADD those registrations to my account, as I had cor CS 5.5, 4, 3, etc. etc.  Now, isn't it odd that the very day after I posted here, when I sign in to my account it shows NO REGISTERED PRODUCTS!!!  If I look at my order history, it has orders from Adobe store from last weeks CS6 MC purchase back to 2007 when I started buying from Adobe directly after the local brick and mortar resellers disappeared. 
    So I try to register CS6 MC, it tells me the SN is already in use.  I try open a PDF document and it tells me I have to first register and agree to the Acrobat Pro X license before I open a doc - and it was an UPGRADE FROM CS 5.5 MC.  I try to run CS 5.5 apps and they tell me I have to purchase a license since the trial period is over - HUH!  Until I posted here it was working FINE.  I go back to my acccount (non-email UID sign in) and check my profile - Lo and behold SOMEONE (not me) has changed the UID to an email address instead of the non-email UID I sign in with AND DELETED ALL MY PRODUCT REGISTRATIONS!
    Naturally, your software does not let me put it back to the same UID I use to sign on with so THE LINK TO ALL MY REGISTERED PRODUCTS IS GONE, I CANNOT REGISTER NEW ONES (which was no problem just a day or two before posting here) WHICH PROVES WHAT I WAS TOLD IN 2007 - WHEN YOU CHANGE UID'S YOUR LEGACY REGISTRATIONS WILL BE LOST!!!
    So, in summary you (Adobe at least, and I suspect you personally) went in and messed with my legacy account, deleting all my registrations, as I was told in 2007 would happen and advised to keep the old UID if I did not want to blow away those registrations, when I explicity did NOT want to make such changes.  And, should I need an SN for some upgrade offer or to install an update for an older product that I did not transition to the new facility, I have to HOPE that I had I can find the original purchase invoice and that there is a copy of the SN / Reg card attached to it.
    THANKS A PANT LOAD!!

  • 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.

  • Adobe Download Assistant will not install.

    I'm attempting to install the trial version of Design Premium CS5.5, but the Adobe Download Assistant will not install. It appears to be installing after I click on the installer--a window loads that says "Installing"--but then nothing happens. Nothing loads. Nothing shows up in the Applications folder. After trying this many, many times (with different browsers and after many refreshes and computer restarts), I'd sometimes get an error message that I need Adobe Air. When I try to install Adobe Air, I have the same issue: nothing happens. What can I do? I am using a brand new MacBook Pro.

    I had a very very similar issue on my MacBook Pro as well with ADA. Solved it about 30 minutes ago. I found a post from late December that suggested trying the following:
    System Preferences
    Energy Saver
    Uncheck "Automatic Graphic Switching" at the top of the page.
    Install Adobe Air
    Profit.
    Hope it works for you too, I was ready to throw this box out the window.

  • Windows 8 - Move Elements to New PC - Does Not Download - Download Assistant Does Not Pop Up

    I just switch to an Asus N550 which runs Windows 8. I have no need to subscribe to creative cloud at this time as I feel that I have still a few months/years of joy to get out of my Elements 11 purchase from last year.
    I also have Premiere 10 which I would like to migrate over to my new computer.
    Here is what I have tried thus far:
    I logged onto my Adobe account and tried to download from "My Products". I have noticed that the Adobe Download Manager does not install at that point or turn on. I almost immediate receive an error message stating that Elements Archive is not on my computer and thus the software cannot download.
    I have also tried to download the trial versions, but once download is complete (after hours of waiting again), nothing happens and there are no temporary files or anything in my System Files folder.
    I am at a loss and am not sure where to turn to next. I have the Lightroom CD and was able to install Lightroom with the CD without any hick-ups.
    What is going wrong during my download attempts that need fixed? I cannot seem to find the answer on Adobe.
    Thank you!

  • 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.

  • Adobe Download Assist will not connect - multiple attemps

    I've successfully downloaded a trial version of photoshop, yet when I try to download after effects the ADA will not connect.  I have removed the program twice with reinstallation, and still no luck.  Advice??

    Yes we don't have direct links for the trials.  You might try a different web browser as well as a selective start up.  What type of virus protection software and software firewall are you using?  Did you disable them or direct the software firewall to allow connections from the Adobe Download Assistant?

  • Download Assistant does not show Creative Suite 6 Design Standard for download.

    I've run this before on my Macbook Pro, so it meets/exceeds the specs.  I'm troubleshooting some problems with Photoshop CS 6 and I'm trying to do a fresh install.  I downloaded the Creative Suite 6 Design Standard trial a few weeks ago through the same manner and have since bought it.  Why isn't the Suite showing up now?
    Thanks

    This is correct Creative Suite 6 Design Standard is not available to download directly in the Adobe Download Assistant.  You will want to initiate the trial download from the download page at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=design_standard.  The download request will then be sent to the Adobe Download Assistant.  If this process is not working then please try a different web browser.
    If you purchased Design Standard from Adobe directly and choose the download option then there is no need to download the trials.  Please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download your purchased software from your account.
