Help with downloading "Adobe Download Assistant"

Heyy,
I was downloading the free trial of Adobe Photosho CS6 and I clicked "Download Now" to get Adobe Download Assistant.
Abdobe Download Assistant shows up in my downloads folder but I can't open it, no matter how many times I click on it.
On the website, it says it would open immediately but it didn't.
My laptop is Windows Vista.
Is there another way to open this file?
Any help is appreciated,
Thank you.

  • Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

    I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
    When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
    So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe.  When I start the download I get this on the screen:  The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068."  The memory could not be written.  Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug.  So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer.   A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
    I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it.  I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
    I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
    So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance, for your reply.  Jim R.

    Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy.  A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." 
    Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief. 
    It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C.  no joy. 
    Sigh...Jim R.

  • 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...

  • I am facing difficulties downloading with the Adobe Download Assistant.

    I'm having the same troubles... can not install Flash Professional.. had no issues installing many others packages a couple weeks ago.
    been trying since yesterday to get this installed and just keep getting errors in Adobe Download Manager.
    I think you guys are having problems with Akamai ... that's my 2 cents.
    why aren't they fixing this?

    actually Jeff, it was the Adobe Application Manager.. my mistake.
    however, I get the same error as others have been seeing:
    "retrying..."
    "unable to reach adobe servers. Please check your internet connectiviity, firewall settings, and try again."
    sometimes it will get to 1% sometimes it will get to 2% and continues with the error messages.
    the pdapp logs show these.. alot:

  • Problems downloading with the Adobe Download Assistant behind a proxy

    I'm attemtping to use Adobe Download Assistant from behind a proxy (specifically, one created by an IronPort data appliance).  Is there a way to set proxy information within Adobe Download Manager?  It doesn't seem to be pulling my system's settings, so attempting to download a product results in 101 errors no matter the destination.

    Branched this out to a separate discussion.
    The Adobe Download Assistant will use the proxy configuration for your computer.  If it is being blocked then please ensure that your proxy is configured to allow the Adobe Download Assistant to connect to the Internet.
