The Adobe Download Assistant doesn't work!

So, whatever happened to a direct download link? hmmmm too easy lol. this download assistant does not work at all. I turned off all firewalls, downloaded the (***) and got to the license agreement and ok'd it and it wouldn't start download. Yes I did download to Desktop for all so that it has full permission. Now I had to go to support, receive 2 files that I have to download, combine in one folder, then unzip and then install. Just for a trial. I would be scared to handover $100-$600 for a full product and have to jump through this many hoops!! Why did Adobe make downloading such a pain in the behind with it's (***)! lol here's a thought:: KISS keep is simple...shall I say silly just to be nice

The Adobe Download Assistant has been already downloaded but after klick on it it doesn't launch. I try to start it with Win 8.1.

Why does the Download Assistant doesn't work properly with Win 8.1?

Hi,
After Adobe Download Assistant is installed, you can start it at any time and select a product to download at the bottom of the window. The list updates as new products become available to download with the Adobe Download Assistant.

I need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

i need to find a working file for the Adobe Download assistant?

I was going to recommend Brother becasue they held OS9 support longer than just about anyone, but their current printers are now supported back to Mac OS10.3 to 10.4, depending on printer model.
If you can do with a b/w laser, the recently discontinued HL5250DN is very nice and OS9 drivers are still up on Brother support site (just checked). We have that model networked at home and its happily serving five Macs plus any visitors who bring their own computer.
This printer has been absolutely reliable and trouble-free. It has both USB and ethernet connectivity (I prefer the latter), does duplex (two-sided) printing, and 1200 dpi res. If you Google the model HL5250DN, you should turn up some of the model still in stock someplace.
If you need color, I'm at a loss for a recommendation there.

Adobe Download Assistant doesn't show me CS6 Design Standard as an option. Why?

Adobe Download Assistant doesn't show me CS6 Design Standard as an option. Why?

Hi Elliot, the link that I had no longer works. Apparently we are not alone in this. I got the link by going to Adobe Support and starting a chat with an Adobe rep. I believe that I went through a series of windows under CS6 Design Standard and clicked a button that said, "I still need help." I think that started the chat. Good luck!

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine?

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine. When i try to start it i get a message saying "Sorry an error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." Any ideas what to do

Are you using Mac OS? If so please try removing the Adobe Download Assistant from your Applications folder and try again. This issue is documented in the Known Issues section of Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html.

Adobe Download Assistant doesn't open

I'm hoping someone can help me. My PC runs Vista. I cannot seem to install a trial version of Acrobat XI. I download the trial, using Chrome, and the Adobe Download Assistant file is shown on my download bar at the bottom of my screen. When I click on it to open and run it, it doesn't open and the file disappears. It doesn't open when I go to my Downloads folder and try to open it from there either. I thought it may be because I don't have an Adobe ID, so I created an account, but that didn't help either. I'm really interested in this software, but if I can't even get it to install, I'm wondering whether Nitro Pro 9 isn't a better bet. Is there anyone who can help me?

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.

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...

Error 103 on Mac 10.7.4 having downloaded PS CS6 using the Adobe Download Assistant. Why?

I let the assistant do and chose everything that happened (is there another way?) and yet I am getting this error 103. I have found and read all the other questions on error 103 but none of the contain and actual solution. Plase HELP!

I think I might have to resort to downloading the program from an illegal torrent, just so that I can use my legitimate-purchased product key on it. Would that constitute a form of intellectual property irony?
I am in total agreement with PeterBFreeman. I download 20-30 GB of data per week from other sources at a fast rate, with no problems. Obviously my internet connection speed is not the issue. Nor is my ISP--like PeterBFreeman above, I have tried to do this at two locations with different ISP providers. Could it possibly be that the download-speed problems are on Adobe's end? Because that would make way way way more sense...
And by the way, Manish in comment #3 posted a solution to every error EXCEPT error 103. Exactly which of the 10 or so solutions he provides applies to error 103? Or do I just blindly follow them all, hoping that one will work? Do you really know if any of these will work, or are you just blindly throwing solutions at me hoping that you might get lucky?
FYI, like i clearly stated earlier, I also did a direct download...four times...each of which failed miserably (error 4960--failure mounting dmg file). I wish I could just walk away, but I absolutely depend on Adobe products to survive. So I am stuck. I feel like a battered spouse.
After sifting through a number of forums and double speak--the real problem seems to be that both the Adobe Download Assistant and the direct download links have a very hard time producing an uncorrupted file. The download assistant is supposed to smooth out this problem--and under ideal circumstances, it should be able to peice together a workable file. But alas, download assistant can't seem to do the one thing it is supposed to do--and getting an uncorrupted file seems more like a crapshoot than anything else as PeterBFreeman suggests.
The direct download links also have problems because I can never seem to get a decent download speed--and either it times out or my browser cancells the downloads due to slow download speeds (this happens when I have no other problems with download speed for other applications, programs, media). The four times I did finally download the entire file (twice via direct download and twice via download assistant) I got errors 4960 and error 103 respectively.
Yet, the answer we keep getting from Adobe is, "keep doing the same even though you get the same crappy result every time". This is literally insane. Or I get just straight aversion of the question--either blaming my ISP, or my internet speed or by calling my problem "Rare" when it clearly isnt that rare.
Error 103 is an adobe error. This means that someone at Adobe came up with the number (103) which corresponds with whatever the error is. Telling me that it is rare without indicating what the error is seems just like bad customer service. The problem is clearly beyond your customer service unit. Please please please, go find a person who knows what error 103 is and ask them the following:
1) What is error 103? (i.e. can you give me a semi-coherent definition of what error 103 is?)
2) What causes error 103? (other than it being rare?)
3) Can you give me some step by step instructions to fix or avert this problem? (instructions for error 103. Not error 100, 101, 102, 104, etc)
4) If the causes can be many, what are they and can you give me step by step instructions for each of the possible causes?

Missing a file in the Adobe Download Assistant?

I use Windows 7.
Hello (Sorry if this question has been asked before; I made a search and nothing came up that could answer my question)
I tried to download the Premiere CS6 trial. I saved it on my desktop. Then I tried to run the file (I opened it up and clicked "Set-up")
It then brings up the Adobe Installer and it said "Initializing Installer". It finishes loading and then the box comes off and nothing happens.
I then open the Adobe Download Assistant and I realise that the exe file is missing. (The 7z is there)
So, where can I re-download the exe file? Or do I have to download the Adobe Download Assistant again?
Thank you!

Still didn't work. The Adobe Installer finishes loading and then does nothing, again!
Here's a screenshot of the inside file of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. I'm I missing something?:

How can I download InCopy CS6 trial version in the Adobe Download Assistant?

There's no selection of the application for InCopy CS6 trial version in the Adobe Download Assistant.

That is correct. Once the Adobe Download Assistant is installed you will need to initiate the download from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=incopy&loc=en_us. If this is not working for you then please utilize a different web browser.

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.

Adobe Download Assistant isn't working

I am running Windows 8. I am currently using the CS5 master coll w/no issues. I have downloaded the download assistant, However when I double click it nothing is happening. I have tried to run the compatability tool etc... w/no effect.

Please check your firewall settings to see if the Adobe Download Assistant is listed as an exclusion. Alternately you can initiate a direct download of the software by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

Under the download or application file I only have the Assistant program

Isabellasf have you ran the installation files which were downloaded? By default they are downloaded to the download folder within your User folder.
