Downloading WITHOUT Adobe Download Assistant

Is there any way to download AE CS6 Trial WITHOUT this damn Adobe Download Assistant? :/

Adobe After Effects *CS5 AND CS6* are for 64-bit only. If you would like to install Adobe After Effects, you will have to either install Adobe After Effects CS4, or a lower version than that.
Also, you didn't want Adobe download Assistant because you had been getting a error when attempting to download Adobe After Effects, right? This is simply because you are running a 32-bit Operating System! (You were at the time...).
If you do not wish to have CS4 version of Adobe After Effects, THERE are possible ways of switching to a 64-bit Operating System, and there are many tutorials available at www.YouTube.com.
Although, you will need to re-purchase a copy of Windows. I recommend Windows 7 Home premium, enterprise or professional, IF you meet the below requirements:
*0.99/1GB RAM,
*Atleast, 1.60ghz,
*Any processor higher than, or a Atom processor.
Microsoft, and your manufactorer MAY say you need more GB than 0.99GB RAM, or 1GB RAM, and more ghz than 1.60, however, you shouldn't listen to them.. I have a Acer Aspire One which has 0.99GB RAM, 1.60ghz, and a Atom Processor, and it is specially designed for Windows XP. I updated to Windows 7 Professional yesterday, and it runs extremely fast.
Anyway, hope you get After Effects, and successfully achieve whatever you were excited to create on it.
Hope I helped!

  • 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.

  • Trouble Installing Adobe Download Assistant! Please help!

    Hi, I'm trying to download Adobe Download Assitant of my Mac so I can get my free trial of Photoshop. I can open the .dmg thing and double click on "Install Adobe Download Assistant" but when the bar that reaches the end on the installation window, nothing happens. Please help.

  • Adobe download assistant not supported on this architecture on a mac?

    I saw this was posted by someone in march and it was not answered and I have the same error message?

    i am running a mac 2.8 GHz i7 with OSX ver 10.7.4 and all other mac software (safari etc) up to date as of today.
    I purchased nearly $600 worth of adobe products that I canot install. Specifically, the Akamai download assistant (net session installer) will not install. I have also tried the alternate (direct file download) method, again without being able to install. I am not a novice user, however I wonder how much experience is necessary to overcome poorly executed software.
    thoughts?

  • Adobe download assistant download not complete

    adobe download showed download completed but every next time i open my system and check for acrobat it again shows download in process..what to do?

    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 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.

  • 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...

  • Error 103 on Mac 10.7.4 having downloaded PS CS6 using the Adobe Download Assistant. Why?

    I let the assistant do and chose everything that happened (is there another way?) and yet I am getting this error 103. I have found and read all the other questions on error 103 but none of the contain and actual solution. Plase HELP!

    I think I might have to resort to downloading the program from an illegal torrent, just so that I can use my legitimate-purchased product key on it. Would that constitute a form of intellectual property irony?
    I am in total agreement with PeterBFreeman. I download 20-30 GB of data per week from other sources at a fast rate, with no problems. Obviously my internet connection speed is not the issue. Nor is my ISP--like PeterBFreeman above, I have tried to do this at two locations with different ISP providers. Could it possibly be that the download-speed problems are on Adobe's end? Because that would make way way way more sense...
    And by the way, Manish in comment #3 posted a solution to every error EXCEPT error 103. Exactly which of the 10 or so solutions he provides applies to error 103? Or do I just blindly follow them all, hoping that one will work? Do you really know if any of these will work, or are you just blindly throwing solutions at me hoping that you might get lucky?
    FYI, like i clearly stated earlier, I also did a direct download...four times...each of which failed miserably (error 4960--failure mounting dmg file). I wish I could just walk away, but I absolutely depend on Adobe products to survive. So I am stuck. I feel like a battered spouse.
    After sifting through a number of forums and double speak--the real problem seems to be that both the Adobe Download Assistant and the direct download links have a very hard time producing an uncorrupted file. The download assistant is supposed to smooth out this problem--and under ideal circumstances, it should be able to peice together a workable file. But alas, download assistant can't seem to do the one thing it is supposed to do--and getting an uncorrupted file seems more like a crapshoot than anything else as PeterBFreeman suggests.
    The direct download links also have problems because I can never seem to get a decent download speed--and either it times out or my browser cancells the downloads due to slow download speeds (this happens when I have no other problems with download speed for other applications, programs, media). The four times I did finally download the entire file (twice via direct download and twice via download assistant) I got errors 4960 and error 103 respectively.
    Yet, the answer we keep getting from Adobe is, "keep doing the same even though you get the same crappy result every time". This is literally insane. Or I get just straight aversion of the question--either blaming my ISP, or my internet speed or by calling my problem "Rare" when it clearly isnt that rare.
    Error 103 is an adobe error. This means that someone at Adobe came up with the number (103) which corresponds with whatever the error is. Telling me that it is rare without indicating what the error is seems just like bad customer service. The problem is clearly beyond your customer service unit. Please please please, go find a person who knows what error 103 is and ask them the following:
    1) What is error 103? (i.e. can you give me a semi-coherent definition of what error 103 is?)
    2) What causes error 103? (other than it being rare?)
    3) Can you give me some step by step instructions to fix or avert this problem? (instructions for error 103. Not error 100, 101, 102, 104, etc)
    4) If the causes can be many, what are they and can you give me step by step instructions for each of the possible causes?

  • I am BEYOND ANGRY with installing the trial of Adobe Download Assistant so that I can THEN DOWNLOAD MY ELEMENTS 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is so rediculous I have tried to install the trial version of elements 12 so that I can install the full version I purchased, I have tried to intall the download assistant over 6 times today; it WILL NOT MOVE ANY FURTHER THAN THE BAR fully loaded and says its downloaded!!!!!!!!!! wont do anything else? How the hell can I install anything if it wont freaking move?????  I have a PC windows 7; I have every element required for this software I purchased several weeks ago from Amazon.  I am a photographer, not a technical support person, I dont care HOW IT WORKS?  I JUST NEED IT TO WORK!!!!!! I am so pissed off because I have wasted so many hours on this; talked to technical support 3 times today and was disconnected 3 times PERFECT!!!!!!!  PISSED OFF PATTI (at ADOBE)

    If you are having trouble with the download assistant you can try going without it by downloading thru the site linked below.  In case there is some misunderstanding, you do not have to install anything more than the trial version.  You use your serial number from the purchase to convert the trial to full usage.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Adobe Download Assistant: Error 0

    So I've been trying to download the trial for Illustrator, but every time the assistant shows about half way through installation, it crashes and says there was an error (error 0). I have yet to see anything written about such an error and it offers no advice.

    The solution is NOT adobe air!! Do you have the Download Assistant still on your pc? Choose that one instead! I did the same. Run fixit and let it check Adobe Air again  It first it asks if youh ave issues with the installation or remove right? You choose installation and after this you select adobe Air and then when it asks you to remove confirm. AFTER THIS run fixit again and this time you select DOWNLOAD ASSSTANT. And again when it asks you to remove  confirm. It will take a bit longer but after this your issues should be gone. When you retry to download a program it will work without any problems!! Let me know if it worked. For me it worked.

  • Why is the Adobe Download Assistant so small and NOT functional? I want to download a trial version of Acrobat Standard XI to no avail???

    What's wrong with the Download Assistant? Does it really need to exist? Another layer that wastes more time that Adobe's luck they're not paying for... Why isn't Acrobat XI standard trial available?

    If you have issues with the Download Assistant, you can download trial versions of Adobe software without the Download Assistant thru the following site, but there is no trial version for Acrobat Standard versions (I cannot answer why that is).  ‘DDL’ Articles at ProDesignTools

  • In Adobe Download Assistant I keep getting message saying 'Installation failed to initialize'.

    I have a Dell computer running Windows 8.1 on which I had Photoshop Elements 11 installed without any difficulty. I uninstalled 11 as I have now bought Elements 13 and have downloaded the Download Assistant but it keeps telling me that 'Installation failed to initialize' so I can't install either the new 13 OR re-install my old 11. I have tried re downloading the Download Assistant and restarting my computer with firewall etc disabled but to no avail. I need to use Elements on a regular basis and I am really disappointed that I have just spent £80 on some software which I cannot install. I have very limited computer skills and I am fast running out of hair as it is nearly all pulled out. Please help!

  • The Adobe Download Assistant is stuck at extracting software

    Trial download has been stuck on extracting (several hours).  Clearly something is wrong.  How does one stop this? and reinstall software?

    Utahjude this often can occur if you chose a directory/folder which the Adobe Download Assistant does not have sufficient access too.  You will want to cancel the download if possible.  If not then please complete solution 2 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_2.
