Download assistant doesn't work

When I try to start the download assistant all i get is:
What do I do?

Hi TJohansen,
The error, "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance" is an error sometimes related to the Adobe Download Assistant.  You can find details under the Known issues section of Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assista nt.html#main_Known_issues.
If however you have the Adobe Download Assistant successfully installed then please complete solution 1 in the same document to reset the download experience.  If you continue to experience difficulties then please initiate a direct download by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

  • The Adobe Download Assistant doesn't work!

    So, whatever happened to a direct download link? hmmmm too easy lol.  this download assistant does not work at all.  I turned off all firewalls, downloaded the (***) and got to the license agreement and ok'd it and it wouldn't start download.  Yes I did download to Desktop for all so that it has full permission.  Now I had to go to support, receive 2 files that I have to download, combine in one folder, then unzip and then install.  Just for a trial.  I would be scared to handover $100-$600 for a full product and have to jump through this many hoops!! Why did Adobe make downloading such a pain in the behind with it's (***)! lol here's a thought:: KISS keep is simple...shall I say silly just to be nice

  • Download assistant doesn't work and has caused system problems

    Download assistant jumps to the halfway point and just sits there.  I'm using Win7 and have run it as adminsitrator.  Now, my machine will not shutdown correctly, and it's new!  I'm very unhappy.  What is going on?

    I have responded to your previous post at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1152167.

  • Download Assistant won't work.  Error 107.

    Download assistant doesn't work.  Login works okay but then I get "Error communicating with Adobe.   Error 107.  Restart download assistant."  I'm on Windows XP 32 and restarting the assistant or the machine doesn't help.  This worked fine last night but I had to clear some disc space, so I couldn't download last night.  I'm trying to get AE 6.

    The tech specs for After Effects CS6 say that we need a 64-bit system. http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/tech-specs.html
    That's probably the reason why Adobe Download Assistant is not letting you download.

    link to migration assistant doesn't work. Where can I find it?

    Do you mean the link in the article to Apple Support Downloads?  It works for me, now, and should take you here:
    If not, try this one:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1557
    Sometimes an Apple server won't find the article you want immediately.

    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!

    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

  • Download! Doesn't work anymore

    Hi,
    my app Download! doesn't work on my E75 anymore.
    What did I do:
    - I installed an update for my Ovi Store Client (I was prompted for that)
    - This installation wasn't successful and I couldn't even launch the Ovi Store Client anymore
    - I removed the Ovi Store Client from my E75
    - After that every time I try to launch my Download! application I just got a system error.
    So my questions are:
    - What can I do to correct this?
    - Where can I download the Ovi Store Client?
    Thanks a lot so far.

    Sign in at OVI from a PC or laptop and Reinstall Ovi Store on your device.
    ‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

  • After Mavericks download iCal doesn't work, still - sending calendars to server.... nothing more, please help what to do Tx

    after Mavericks download iCal doesn't work, still - sending calendars to server.... nothing more, please help what to do Tx

    I had some initial problems with iCal too. At least for me deleting the prefs file solve them. The file is: com.apple.iCal.plist  and it is in your Library/Preferences folder
    The other thing your problem appears to be connecting to the server is to quit Calendar and then open System Preferences, select the Internet Accounts, and toggle off the Calendar checkmark of each of your calendar accounts. Quit System Preferences. Start the calendar. Since you've turned off the calendar server accounts there should be no beachballing. Quit, return to System preferences and re-enable one calendar account at a time. (This assumes that you are using more than iCloud Calendar) and then start Calendar again. And finally, for one particularly obnoxious iCloud issue I wound up deleting my iCloud account in System Preferences and then recreating it. (Same account name, etc, I just killed the account on my computer so I could start out with fresh preferences).

  • Adobe Download Assistant doesn't open

    I'm hoping someone can help me. My PC runs Vista. I cannot seem to install a trial version of Acrobat XI. I download the trial, using Chrome, and the Adobe Download Assistant file is shown on my download bar at the bottom of my screen. When I click on it to open and run it, it doesn't open and the file disappears. It doesn't open when I go to my Downloads folder and try to open it from there either. I thought it may be because I don't have an Adobe ID, so I created an account, but that didn't help either. I'm really interested in this software, but if I can't even get it to install, I'm wondering whether Nitro Pro 9 isn't a better bet. Is there anyone who can help me?

  • Adobe Download Assistant has stopped working (CS6/5 trial)

    Sorry if this has already been posted elsewhere but i could really use someone’s help. Also sorry if it's slightly in the wrong forum.
    My operating system is Windows 8
    I've been trying to download the trial version of Premier Pro (CS6) and I am having a problem with the Download assistant as the title suggests. I have attempted to download the file at least 10 times now, the download process bar will get so far (it varies from near the start to the middle or right towards the end of the download). The Download Assistant will then bring up a message saying that the programme has stopped working. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Download Assistant and have tried restarting my computer various times. I have read some people saying that they think it could possibly be lack of memory however this cannot be my cause as I am installing on a brand new computer with a mass amount of free memory.
    Would fully appreciate any help anybody could give me.
    Thank you
