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.

  • 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 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 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?

  • Adobe Download Manager will not install when installing Flash Player

    I recieve the following error after selecting to install the Active X ADM install.
    I am running Windows XP Professional and Internet Explorer 7.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi J, Unless you think there is some reason you need the DLM or GetPlus, I would suggest you Remove them from Add/Remove. Both of those are causing problems. You don't need them to uninstall/install Flash Player. Reboot after
    removing them and then use the following links to Uninstall/Install.
    Download and put the Uninstaller on your Desktop http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Download and SAVE this Installer to your Desktop http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    Read over the Uninstall instructions and be sure to follow the last 2 NOTES. Check your security settings and the Anti-Virus info-Norton. You don't want any Flash programs running while Uninstalling, so this would be your Anti-Virus/Spyware that runs in realtime; also check the system tray. Since you don't want to Disable your Security while online, disconnect from the Internet after you have the Uninstaller and Installer on your Desktop. When you are off line
    then Disable the Firewall as well as any Anti-Virus/Spyware. Then Run the Uninstaller, Reboot & follow that last NOTE per the Uninstall instructions. Then Run the Installer, Reboot. Then Enable your Firewall & Security, connect back to the Internet. Test here http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about

  • 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.

  • Adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install

    adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install?

    Hunt
    What you just wrote may have revealed the Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integration consideration. If you have Premiere Elements 11, you need Photoshop Elements 11 for the integration between the programs to produce the DVD version of the Photoshop Elements Slideshow.
    All along I was picturing Meyerswalter already in Premiere Elements 11/Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and being told to install Premiere Elements to get the burn to disc accomplished.
    But, if Meyerswalter is using Premiere Elements 11 and a non integrated version of Photoshop Elements for this matter, that could very well fit.
    So, Meyeswalter, so that we can dispel those thoughts
    a. What versions of Photoshop Elements are you using with Premiere Elements 11? And, are you in the Photoshop Elements Slideslide Show Editor using the Output of Burn to Disc DVD or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor and getting the load software message somewhere along the line?
    b. To prove this point, if you have not already, what happens if you take Photoshop Elements out of the equation. Import some media into Premiere Elements 11 and try to burn to disc from there Publish+Share/Disc/DVD?
    If that is the core of the issue, I will post a list of Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integrated combos as a guideline for you.
    If this is the core of the issue, you could always keep the non Photoshop Elements 11 version that you have, output the slideshow to a wmv file sized for DVD and then import that into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media. More on that later if necessary since right now I am speculating on an explanation for what you are encountering.
    Thanks.
