How to download a ADA(Adobe Download Assistant)

Note: This only help those who had trouble in downloading a ADA.
I was trying to download a trial version CS5.5 Master Collection.
But each time I follow the steps to click "try" button in the downloads page, I got directed to a product page with no indications, no alerts, no any kind of pop up, and no Download Button neither.
I've tried on Mac 10.7.2 and Windows 7, on browsers Chrome, Firefox, IE(windows only) and Safari(mac only), with all firewall etc shut down.
If anyone meet the same situation, there's one more way worth trying.
1. Get a Chrome (tried on v17.0.942.0)
2. Go to downloads page, find master collection CS5.5, click the little "Try" link
3. After the page loading complete, right click on page -> "Inspect Element".
4. In the "Elements" tab, (press Ctrl+F) search for "dmg" for mac(or "exe" for windows). There could be several results, read them one by one and finally there is a valid link like:
"http://download.macromedia.com/tdrc/ADA/production/AdobeDownloadAssistant.dmg"
"http://download.macromedia.com/tdrc/ADA/production/AdobeDownloadAssistant.exe"
5. Download the file you need, choose the product you want in ADA, then start product downloading.
Currently(2012/2/8), this is still working. If you found this not working, prabably because Adobe changed the page

You can snag it from their FTP site at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_U S.exe .
It's more than 26MB though....

    AMelie Eliabeth the Adobe Download Assistant can be dragged to your trash can.  There is no separate uninstaller or any other application files to remove.

  • I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    This was so annoying!! It took me a good couple of hours but i figured it out, you need to do the following: Go to the folder where you saved the download (in my case i saved it in My Downloads) -> click on 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 12' -> click on 'PSE 12' -> click on 'Setup' (select the icon which is a box with a shield) -> follow instructions and....voila! You will need to restart when it suggests so save anything else first, then when it reboots you should see the icon on your desktop....hpe this helps!

  • How safe is the Adobe Download Assistant

    I am very wary of installing software that I don't think I need.
    If I wish to download a trial of Elements 12 I have to also install Adobe Download Assistant?
    Does this software do anything other than just let me download the trial; I do not want to find my email boxes full of Adobe offers/questions. I just want to trial software. I will then make my mind up whether to continue to purchase or not.
    Any advice please?

    There is nothing associated with the ADA but after installation you can set your own options in the Organizer preferences. Click image:

  • How can I get the Adobe Download Assistant?

    Simply download a trial version of the Adobe Software.  The Adobe Download Assistant will download automatically when you begin downloading the trial software.
    For more information about downloading Adobe trial software please see our discussion on "How do I download a trial version of Adobe's Creative software?" or the document  "Adobe Download Assistant FAQ."

    You are correct Bill_Lindsay not all of our trials are currently using the Adobe Download Assistant.  Some of our software also utilizes the Akamai Download Manager and others have direct download options.  The majority of our trial software is utilizing the Adobe Download Assistant however.
    As for Audition from your description it does sound like it is still utilizing the Adobe Download Assistant.  Part of using the Adobe Download Assistant is the need to initially install the software.

  • How to download things to Adobe Download Assistant?

    I read in an adobe community article (link:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1266865) that to download adobe download assistant you need to click on the trial on the download page of the thing you want to download and then it will open up in the assistant.Except I already tried that and it only opened up in creative cloud.How do I open it up in the assistant.The reason being I want to be able to pause my downloads and you cant do that in creative cloud.

    With perpetual product download like CS6 or previous version, the Adobe download assistant is used, with Creative Cloud the CC desktop App is used as interface to download the complete range of products of CC.
    In Adobe sites CC desktop download is available for trial too. After the trial if you decide to purchase it then the download has the option to serialize / subscription it .
