InDesign Trial won't Install

I have been trying to install the trial version of InDesign for several days now. The download is successful, but nothing happens when I click Install. I have tried both Download manager and manual download - the same thing happened both times.
There is nothing in the Application folder, and there are no Adobe logs in the Logs folder. The download is going into the default User folder.
I am trying to install InDesign on a Mac computer that was given to me. I'm not a Mac person, and I don't even know where to start trouble shooting. It is a Mac 10.4.11 with 20 gigs hd and 2 gigs SDRAM.
For the manual download, the file extension is .dmg - which suggests "damaged" to me, but I don't know what the file type should be. There are no error messages and no indication about a problem with the download.
I am tearing my hair out. This is taking so much time away from my work. How to try these products when you have to keep downloading over and over and over, and the logs aren't where the instructuctions say they should be?

No, forget it. It's simply too old. All the info you provided points to a first generation intel MacBook or iMac that doesn't support the required stuff. Read the system requirements:

And DMGs are simply Disk Images.

  • INDesign CS3 won't install

    I've been searching threads for days now and nothing i try works
    I am trying to install CS3 on a G5 Mac, OSX 10.4.11. I have CS on this computer, tried the CS4 trial, decided to stay with CS3 which I am had on a deceased computer that din't have any Adobe on it except things like reader, and whatever comes with the Mac OS. When I try to load, I get everything but INDesign won't install. Tried multiple time, tried it on another computer (a G4) with similar history and the same result. I've done an uninstall on INDD4, I've cleaned preference files, tossed Colorsync profiles. At first, when I tried to install i would get an message asking for theINDD4 disk. I got rid of that when I dumped the color sync files. and now it installs everything except INDD. I'm afraid to try the clean script.
    What do you suggest?

    Hi Mylenium
         After updating the adobe license didn´t work any longer for the
    second time, since I bought. First time CS3 cleaning tool was the
    solution. But this time it is not possible just to open the
    CS3cleaning tool document(PDF)- not with adobe reader, also not with
    foxit for example. I removed all adobe stuff to install again, but
    installation doesn´t work for  the important components- photoshop
    etc. At first also adobe reader didn´t work (System told me, to
    install photoshop before:-) But after some deinstallation and
    reinstallation now just the new downloaded adobe reader X happily
    works again. Only solution to reinstall the whole system?? (medion

    Hi Abhijit,
    I am able to install InDesign CS6 manually on the machines from the CD/DVD however when trying to install it via GPO or running the msi using the msi exec commands it doesn't install and leaves the above errors in the event log.
    The installation was made using the same CD/DVD and the installation works on the Windows XP clients and software other than InDesign CS6 will install to the Win 7 64-bit machines via GPO.
    Cheers,

  • Flash CS4 Trial won't install

    Hi There!
    I've been trying to install Flash CS4 Trial since its release
    but always get the same error message.
    The package is uncompressed and install process begins, goes
    to 100% and then a message box comes on asking to check disk space
    (I've got plenty) and permissions and privileges (I'm using the the
    admin account). Firewalls down, no good.
    Tried on 3 different machines with plenty of disk space,
    memory, etc, both on XP and Vista. Doesn't work.
    I have also downloaded the same file 3 or 4 times. No good.
    I wonder if anybody else has faced the same frustrating
    problems.
    I had previously installed CS4 suite (beta) and it all worked
    fine.
    Please, help!

    What in the World? Is there anyway to get FLaSH CS4 trial
    version to install? OK. I have Service Pack 3, it keeps telling me
    to disable my Firewall, (which I have done over and over, after
    re-booting...) I even tried to install after checking off
    everything in the msconfig in the Run it won't do anything
    different... Also, I still haven't seen hide nor hair of any
    'FLEXnet' file or app ANYWHERE. Honestly, what is with this crazy
    'install' routine Adobe? Help! I really want to be working with
    this new prog!!! Please do away with this insane install thing
    please... (ASAP) ...thanks.
    UPDATE: Ok, now i've gotten to the next problem: the Install
    stops at 8% (Dynamiclink Support) no matter what... I was able to
    install the CS4 of Photoshop though. I'm going to try removing my
    licensed copy of Flash MX2004 in case it is interfering with the
    CS4 Flash install... Other options may be try installing the
    Premiere so that it can get the Dynamiclink Support installed ...?
    maybe CleanScript...? no way to find the simple solution on any
    support pages or forums though? hmm...
    SOLVED:
    I managed to put off some bills and purchased the upgrade
    from MX2004 and the install worked fine... go figure! (This also
    allowed for the phone tech support assistance i apparently needed
    too. I got a nice person after a 15 minute wait.) The purchased
    upgrade download worked as far as the install went: good; but: I
    went click on the FLaSH icon to open the program after a reboot and
    it said "the Licensing is no durn good no more." So I said,hmmm...
    Here's what was likely a problem: the FLEXnet folder (had to
    do an Explorer search to locate these) had been duplicated from a
    previous install attempt a few days earlier and the duplicate AS
    WELL AS the 'non-duplicate' had a 'read only' status that need to
    be un-checked and permissions had to be set on the FLEXnet folder
    for Admin, etc. That was pretty much the culprit. Hope this may
    help someone. This tech file was a help: kb405970

  • CS5.5 Indesign upgrade won't install "update is not applicable" error

    Upgraded to Yosemite, reinstalled legit CS5 InDesign successfully, need to download the upgrade to 5.5 for essential "shared content" plug in... the update won't install "update is not applicable" error w no serial code request, just doesn't install. Indesign 5.0 was working fine, i just need a couple extensions

    you can update cs5:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    but you can't upgrade to cs5.5.
    you can upgrade to cs6 or cc (for money).

  • Creative Cloud trial won't install

    I want to download an Indesign trial, but in order to do so I have to download Creative Cloud. I downloaded the setup file but when I run the installation it keeps on saying " the remote server is not responding in a proper manner". What is wrong? What am I supposed to do?
    Thank you!

    I've been having nothing but problems getting indesign installed. after a month of tech support run-around, i just gave up.

  • InDesign Trial won't open

    I just downloaded and installed the InDesign trial with no problems, until the very end when I hit the "Launch" button, it showed the pink intro thing for a bit and then just quits and says "InDesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  The same thing happens if I try and start it from the Start menu.  I tried restarting the computer, and uninstalled and re-installed it twice.
    Using Windows XP.
    Any ideas?

    It says:
    installer program     cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred.
    licensing program     cpsid_83578r3: Error, "Validate license at Pre-chrome" when installing- Creative Suite 5.
    The first error popped up when I was downloading it the first time, but I've already uninstalled and re-downloaded it since then so I don't think that's it.
    Searching for the licensing error gives me this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/install-log-error-validate-license.html  which is pretty much not helpful.

    Sounds as though you're trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on
    Mac OS X
    10.3 or earlier. CS3 requires OS X 10.4 as a minimum. It
    won't install
    on earlier versions.

  • Indesign CS5 won't install

    Background:
    I had been using InDesign CS5 for a couple years on my Win7 Ultimate x64 machine.   A year and a half ago, I reloaded the OS and didn't reinstall InDesign as I didn't need it then.  It's used for a once-yearly project near year-end. My InDesign CS5 is the Pagemaker upgrade, - the install is from the download file gotten via the download manager when licensed from Adobe in 2010. I think it had updated to CS5.5 during that period but I don't have any files to install CS5.5,
    Problem:
    Tried to re-install it now, and the installer fails.  It accepts the serial number but does not complete:  ***I've attached the complete list of error messages at the end of this post.  I've tried the install multiple times - initially with all the InDesign bells and whistles, then reboot and retried, and then again after rebooting a second time with none of the InDesign extensions chosen (thinking maybe one of those might be the cause) but no changes in symptoms.
    Discussion:
    I am thinking it is either something fundamental with InDesign CS5 conflicting with some Win7 update since the time when InDesign CS5 worked, or an interaction with the other Adobe products. 
    Other Adobe products on the machine:
    Added after the time InDesign had worked
          Lightroom 3.6, Lightroom 5.7, and Adobe DNG converter. 
    Had been on, back when it all worked fine:
    Photoshop CS5, Dreamweaver CS3, Acrobat 8 Standard and Adobe Reader XI.  Helper apps are: Bridge CS3 and CS5, Extension Manager CS3 and CS5, Extendscript Toolkit 2 and CS5 and Device Central CS3 and CS5.
    Any help and suggestions would be most appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sorry I didn't get back with you.  Thanks for your help.  I tried using compatibility mode - no change.  Needed to then go through your CCleaner process.  Uninstalled everything, did the CCleaner and then reinstalled in release order (most recent versions last).   At that point, all the programs worked fine but would not update.  To get update working again, needed to find the link to the current standalone Application Manager exe file.  Ran that and now all is right as rain.
    Thanks again.

  • Acrobat XI Pro trial won't install under Yosemite

    I've downloaded a trial version of Acrobat XI and launched the installer but I get the spinning wheel after clicking on "Install" and it becomes unresponsive and I have to Force Quit. I don't get an error message. I've just noticed that Adobe Reader won't run now either, so there seems to be an underlying problem with Acrobat-related software. I have InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5 running perfectly fine. Hopefully someone has an idea! Thanks in advance.
    OS X 10.10.2
    3.2 GHz Intel Core i5

    Hi abc_print,
    Please try installing in the root user account and check.

  • InDesign & Dremweaver won't install

    I had a Dreamweaver trial and an InDesign CS3 upgrade on my computer that I trashed after buying the whole Creative Suite Premium the other day. When I went to install the programs from my disc everything downloaded fine...except those 2. In the installer's upper dialog box both inDesign and Dreamweaver are gray with type in captions that says "already installed"...which is impossible. I can't click the boxes to install them and they wont reinstall. This is so bizarre. Has anyone had this problem or know what to do?

    you need to uninstall the CS3 apps trashing just won't work anymore.
    What you need to do now is run the CS3 clean script.

  • CS6 Mast Coll Trial won't install - wierd error

    I'm trying to install CS6 MC and am having one devil of a time just getting it to install.  Environment:  Win 8.1, brand new out-of-the-box HP 500-214 with 8gB RAM 2tB HDD.  Completely new. 
    First I went and installed some software to begin including Adobe Reader.
    Next, I went and downloaded the CS6 MC install package.  The install package gives me this:
    I right-clik and Run as Admin on the Application.  An extraction occurs at the end of which I get this:
    Ok, so do some reading.  Is the download pacakge corrupt.  Go back and redownload the entire kit, erasing the old one.  Reboot.  Repeat the sequence.  Same deal as before.
    More reading.  Use the CS Clean Tool, actually called the CC Clean Tool but it says it will work on anything.  I get a DOS box, answer some prompts and I get what appears to be a succesful clean.  Reboot.   Now I move back to the folder into which the D/L package was extracted (\Desktop\CS Trial DL) and there's a setup.exe.  Right-clik and Run As Admin.  See error above.
    OK, one more try.  Go back and use the Clean Tool then erase the extract folder (it might be corrupted).  Reboot a third or fourth time.  Re-download the entire kit again.  Same error.  OK, so let's use this thing called The Adobe Support Advisor (ASA).  Run that and I get this cryptic little wonder:
    Ignore the one at 14:40 hrs.  I know I've rebooted/restarted.  See the "licensing program" entry.  Clik on the link and be taken to:
    This is pointing at something aout CS5 when I'm trying to do CS6.  Maybe they're both the same in this context.  Don't know, nothing's giving me much help.
    And, by the way, if I repeat this whole sequence from rebooting and cleaning and re-downloading then run the ASA, I find that the same error with the same dates is showing.  ASA won't show me the report from today's running.  So somehow I need to find out how to "clear" the ASA data.
    So, good people, what other suggestions can we make here for me as I try to mount this trial copy on the premise that if the customer lilkes it he'll buy it?  I'm out of ideas...

    no, you can download suite trials.  here's cs6:
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Free Trial won't install

    Last week I downloaded the free trial version of Adobe InDesign but my computer's operating system was too old to install/run the program. Today I upgraded my operating system from Mac OSX 10.4 to 10.6 and attempted to re-install the InDesign program but I was unable to. First the install assistant said that it was already running on my computer but I couldn't find the application anywhere on my harddrive. Then I uninstall the program in the hopes that I could reinstall it but even then it no longer gave me the option to install it. What can I do to make it work? I'm unable to re-download the free trial because it says I already have the program registered to my email/computer.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try again.

  • InDesign CS5 won't install Mac OSX Mavericks

    I am currently trying to re-install InDesign CS5 (part of CS5 Design Standard) on an iMac at work because of a problem it was having. I now can't get it to install at all on the mac. I have tried from both the original DVD and from the download from the adobe website.
    I have updated the Java but no success with that.
    I have uninstalled the whole suite and re-installed but Indesign is the only application that fails.
    This is the error I am getting:
