Downloaded and installed CS5 trial version

Question

I downloaded Adode Download assistant and was able to do installation of Download Assistant and did an apparent download and install of CS5 trial version.  However, the Download Assistant did not start the application as promised.  What I got was a "Finish" screen that suggested I start out with tutorials on Adobe TV.  They all appeared unrelevant to CS5 and CS5 itself could not be started even by going to the folder CS5 had created in my user file.  What do I need to do to actually run the CS5 trial version? My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, the computer is a Toshiba Satellite E305-S1990 that has worked fine on other dowloads though none were from Adobe.  How do you expect people to purchase your programs if they can't run the trial versions?

Answer 1

The trial I was attempting to install was the Photoshop CS5.1trial.  No, I didn't receive any error messages while doing the download or install.  I have tried installer several times.  It does not indicate that the trial has already been installed, but goes through what looks an installation process as follows.  Each time it says it has completed installation and shows me a page with a finish tab at the bottom of the installation steps listed on the left side.  In the center of the page is a message which says something like "Continue on to the next step to learn about CS5" or something to that effect.  If you click on the message you are taken to "Adobe TV' which appears to have little to do with CS5.  If instead to hit the 'Continue' or 'Next' tab at the bottom of the page it does something I can't remember at the moment (and the PC I loaded onto is packed away for a trip I'm leaving on tomorrow).  In any case, yes there are files in my user
folder and I have clicked on the file marked CS5 to no avail.  If there is a secret to actually running the program, I obviously don't know it.
