Error extracting the product installer for trial downloads

Hi-- I tried to download the trial version of Creative Suite Design Premium last night. Waited the two+ hours for the process, and at the end I got the message "Error exracting the product installer (Error 101). Check for available disk space on your system and try downloading the product again." Because it was by then late, I left it and came back to it today. I assumed that the CS was too big for my system, so I decided to just install the two products I really want, Photoshop CS Extended, and Illustrator, separately. Unfortunately, I got the same error messages. Tried the troubleshooting advice to no avail. My computer has plenty of disk space available (1.34 TB of free space -- clearly enough!). Any other advice you can offer me?

I found my answer in a previous thread on the Forum -- it worked for me.
Here it is:

  Re: CS5.5 Download Assistant Error 101     
  Ok, the problem is solved! 
Go to: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html.  This is the direct link that downloads any Adobe CS5.5 file without the help of the Adobe Download Assistant software.  Read and follow the instructs exactly on this site.  Very Important:  MAKE SURE TO SIGN IN or CREATE A FREE ADOBE ID IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO.  If not, you will get a message saying "access denied" or "resume your download", and thus, preventing the connection.
Once the files have downloaded (2 files in total), extract the files to your desktop. 
Once the extraction process has been completed, click on the "Setup Bootstrapper Application" installer file in the extracted folder and that should manually open the Installation screen.  Just follow the installation instructions, and everything should work!  Good luck!

  • What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?

    What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?  You click on "Download free trial" and it takes you to a page that takes you to a forum… nothing happens.  I've done this about 6 times on two browsers.  Of course, there's no help from Adobe, so I'm trying this forum.  Thanks!

    Thanks very much for a prompt reply!  Much appreciated. Unfortunately, that's exactly the page I was on. And I used both Firefox and Safari and got the same page, with the same nothing...
    As this forum doesn't allow attachments, I'll cut and paste the page here (there's not much):

    Hello,
    Thanks for your post. I am jotting down few steps to get the Bing search account key (you may have completed many/all of these).
    To add Bing Search Service, go to
    https://datamarket.azure.com/account/datasets and search for "Bing Search API". After you have subscribed to the service, navigate to "My Data" and click on Use. Click on Show and copy the
    Primary Account Key information.
    Note if your key contains a special character like / or = then double clicking on the content will copy the key partially.
    Make sure you have copied the full key correctly. If the is incorrectly pasted in Siena's Primary Account Key field, you will get the error below:
    This is similar to the error you have posted. Since the Primary Account Key is masked you can never be sure the contents are correct. It's best to clear the field and paste the key again.
    If you still face the issue, please post your machine configuration (x86/OS) information.
    Hope this helps,

  • Error installing Office 2013 on Server 2012 R2 RDS - Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine

    Hi there,
    I really hope someone can help me as I am tearing my hair out trying to get this resolved!
    I am working on a Server 2012 R2 server with RDS running. Before it was turned into a RDS server it had a copy of Office 2010 running as a trial to see would it work for the accounting package that is running for users via Remote Desktop. Trial worked ok
    so it was converted into a RDS server. Now, as its a RDS it needs to run Office under a volume licence, which I have. However when trying to install I get the message: "Error 25004: the product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. this is most
    likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed on the system."
    In summary I have tried everything I can think of and find to remove all traces of the old Office from the machine but still this message persists. I have run the Fix It For Me uninstall from MS and it cannot find any Office installed. i have manually searched
    through all of the Windows directories including Program Files and AppData and removed all traces of Office from there, I have searched the registry and removed all I can find from there.
    Where or what file does the installer look at to see that a previous version was installed? 
    I cannot scrub this machine which I would have done long ago because there is another SQL Server based application running on it.
    Really really appreciate anyone that can help me on this,
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have definitely heard your frustration, and I’ll try my best to help you.
    Since Office 2010 installed on it before, you need to remove Office 2010 completely.

  • After having had to upgrade to windows 7 i cant find the product key for my photoshop elements 8

    i kept the download for my photoshop elements 8 but after the windows 7 upgrade i cant find the product key for the PSE8

    This isn't the PSE forum Edward, but you might be aware of that.
    PSE8 is going to be fairly old I'm thinking?  Like I said... this is not the PSE forum so people don't tend to know much about it.   The reason I make that point, is that if you have previously registered your copy of PSE8, you will be able to log on to your Adobe ID, go to My orders, and find both a link to download the installation file, and your serial number.
    Other than that, I am not sure how you will find it.

  • How Can I Get the FULL Installer for Flash Player 11.1.102.63?

    When I try the "Download now" button at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, I only get a stub installer that then requires downloading the remainder of the installer.  I maintain both my own PC and my wife's PC.  I want to install Flash Player 11.1.102.63 twice but download it only once. 
    When I instead try the link for "Flash Player for other browsers" under "Windows 32-bit", I get the full installer for Flash Player 11.1.102.62, not the full installer for Flash Player 11.1.102.63. 
    The latest version of Adobe Reader is available via FTP at ftp.adobe.com.  Why cannot the latest version of Flash Player also be available there? 

    at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 the link for downloading "flash player 10", "for other browsers", still results in the OLD version of FP 10 being downloaded, not the newly updated version, build 10.3.183.16..
    in adobe's security bulletins, it says that you can download the updated versions of "flash player 10" on the "archives" webpage but there are no direct downloads for FP 10 on the webpage, except for downloading the zipped packages, with the "debuggers".. it would be good if there were direct downloads for the updated versions of FP 10..
    also, when i go to the "download center" page, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP , if i go there with "firefox 3.6", it recognizes that i am running "firefox 3.6" and offers to install "flash player 10.3", but if i go there with "internet explorer 6", it is not recognized and so i am not offered "flash player 10.3", for installing.. in this situation, i need some other way to get "flash player 10.3" for "internet explorer 6"..
    adobe should make things easier for everyone by providing direct downloads for flash player..in my case, i use "flash player 10", so i need direct downloads for it.. yes, it is nice that the downloads are posted in the forum, but why not do it right and have in on some webpage, like on the "archives" webpage where adobe says that "flash player 10" can be downloaded, except that there are no links there for downloading it..
