Problem installing PSE 8 free trial - Power Archiver error

Hi,
I've been trying to download the 30 day free trial of Photoshop Elements 8.
The Akamai Download was successful, both the .exe and the .7z file completed 100% and have been saved to the same folder.
When I try to launch the .exe file I get the following error message:
"An error occurred while opening Power Archiver 7-zip SFX."
I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me what I need to do to complete the installation process.
Thanks in advance for your help,
N

Hi,
It seems to me as the problem with the Adobe web download...there have been cases where other users have reported problem with running the downloaded files, but there issue got resolved in a day or two. I believe you must have already reported the issue on the tech support or customer support. If not, please do that. Otherwise< i would just request you to try again after a day or so and it should get working as sometimes web team themselves figure out the issue and they fix it before anyone reporting them to the support team.
So sorry that you have been running into these issue, preventing you from using the product.
Regards,
Ankush

  • Problem installing the free trial for Illustrator on Creative Cloud

    Has anyone had any problem installing the trial apps on Adobes Creative Cloud? I've been trying to install it but everytime I click on download, the page loads and it says "xx is downloading..." but it's not doing anything. I thought it may be to do with the internet connection and so have tried it at a couple of places now, but it's the same thing. Anyone come across the same problem? I just want to get illustrator and photoshop on my laptop for some work but it seems like the most economically friendly or even only way is through the Creative Cloud....
    Stressed and confused!

    Nobody can help you without proper technical information such as system specs and what Internet connection you are actually on. Trivial things like using a different W-LAN can make all the difference.

  • I am having problems installing the free trial download of CS4

    I dound the free trial page and downloaded CS4.  However, I see no .exe file in my downloads.  I have Windows 8 and every time I go to my downloads and click on any of the files it asks what application I want to open them with.  I am currently trying to download all the files again, but I am still not seeing any .exe file, only the .7z file.  Help!

    Download 7zip or WinZip to extract the file and then run the setup.exe.

  • I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

    I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

    When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

  • Has anyone had a problem installing PSE Elements 8.

    I have installed PSE Elements 8 from a new boxed CD onto a new Dell running Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit).
    PSE has loaded without any warnings and I get to the welcome screen OK. Organiser works fine but if I try and start Edit it just circles around back to the Edit prompt. I have tried getting in via Fix in Organiser which then advises Loading Elements workspace but then drops me back to menu.
    I have tried all the Tech Note suggestions but after hours of trying am still no further forward.
    I even downloaded and installed the trial version but I this performs in the same way.
    All suggestions welcome.  Thanks

    No luck.
    PE Editor does not open with Ctrl/Alt/Shift nothing...zilch
    Running PE Editor from this point using Open produces error message. PE Elements has stopped working - Close Program.
    Thanks anyway.
    Problem has now been escalated to senior tech team within Adobe.

    The only other suggestion is try re-setting the Editor preferences as this often fixes conflicts. You will also be able to check that this part of the application installed correctly.
    Hold down the windows key to the left of Alt and press the letter E to launch Explorer
    In the left side pane click on Computer
    In the right pane double click on Program Files, then double click Adobe, then double click Photoshop Elements 8.0
    Use the right hand  scroll bar to move down the list of files and locate Photoshop Elements Editor With one hand holding down all three keys CtrlShiftAlt right click on the Editor file in the list and select open.
    You should see a pop up box with the words Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way.
    Please let us know if that works.

  • Want to install a free trial

    I downloaded a free trial for Adobe InDesign today on my Mac (OS X 10.9, Mavericks). I wasn't able to install the free trial as it only gave me a perpetual beach ball. I trashed the file and now I can't download the free trial for Adobe InDesign at all. I need to try it before I decide whether to buy/subscribe. Can you help?
    Katherine

    No, I login to my Adobe account and downloaded free trial directly. Is it my OS 10.9.4 the problem?

  • I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.

    I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.
    I am getting very frustrated with this. When I try to install the Creative Cloud thing it asks me to pay even though it says try for free.

    Hi Mirrormonolith,
    Please try the following steps assuming its a MAC:
    1) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
    2) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
    3) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    Please let me know of that worked.

    I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'.  That was the first window.   Heres the second: After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup  I paid for the month subscription of 29.99. It claims it is downloading again?! Am I missing something here? Why is this process so complicated? I need to get this resolved asap and start working.

    I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
    I'm baffled....

    Hi Tim Winker,
    I understand your frustration of not able to get Adobe Acrobat installed on your machine. I would request you to kindly download Acrobat XI Pro trial from the link below:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/APRO/11/win32/AcrobatPro_11_Web_WWMUI.exe
    At the time of installation, you need to select 'Trial' as a option and follow the onscreen instructions.
