The application Install Adobe Download Assistant quit unexpectedly

When downloading a trial version of Adobe Acrobat on a MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.5.8, I get the following error message:  "The application Install Adobe Download Assistant quit unexpectedly".  How should I proceed from here?
Thanks!

Hi mojito44,
Please refer the solution in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html
If you continue to face difficulties you can try downloading from the direct download links available at : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
I would also like to point out that the minimum system requirements for Acrobat is
Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7.4, or v10.8
Please check the tech specs at : Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
Regards,
Rave

  • Getting "the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly' error message when trying to

    When trying to install flash player update on my mac running osx 10.5.8.   I get error message "the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly"  I've tried uninstalling the application and restarting my computer. But when I click the install icon  it quits unexceptionally every time.
    Please help!

    Hello,
    Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8.  The last version to support OS X 10.5.8 is Flash Player 10.3.  Flash Player 10.3 is available for download from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html.

  • "the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly"

    when trying to install flash player update on my mac running osx 10.5.8 i get error message "the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly"  is my mac sabotaging the install or what? is there a setting i need to change in order for my mac to play along?

    Which installer are you using?  Can you try rebooting your system and try uninstalling and installing using the steps below:
    1. Close all browsers
    2. Run the Flash Player uninstaller
    3. Run the Flash Player installer
    Thanks,

  • Installing snow leopard, got "The application Install Mac OS X quit unexpectedly"

    Installing show leopard from the install disk on white MacBook (2,0 GHz), got "The application Install Mac OS X quit unexpectedly".  What's wrong?

    Haven't a clue, but the machine didn't like something. Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try reinstalling again.

  • Install Adobe Flash Player quits unexpectedly

    I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player v. 17 on my  mid 2011 iMac with 3.4 GHz Core i7 running 10.10.2.  Every time I double click on the Install Adobe Flash Player.app, I get a crash notification saying that Install Adobe Flash Player quit unexpectedly.  I have downloaded the file several times with the same result.

    What's the problem with Adobe Downloader Assistant? It's making it impossible to download a trial version of PS 5 extended. I can see that I'm not the only one experiencing difficulties with this so........what's the story Adobe?!!!! If you don't want people to download trial versions of your products then just say so! Or do something about the problem and remove this faulty download.I have a brand new Mac,so it shouldn't be a problem. The Adobe Downloader has been extracting for 2 days now, and I can't shut it off. Very irritating!

    If you are having problems with extracting it is likely that you have customized the location of your download.  I would recommend downloading to your User folder or Desktop folder.  When the download and extraction process are complete you can then install to your Program Files folder.

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    you probably have an incomplete/corrupt download.
    to confirm check the file size against the expected file size.
    then re-download perhaps with a different browser.

    Bonjour,
    Je souhaite installer la version d'évaluation Adobe CS6 Master Collection et je me heurte à un problème depuis quelques jours. Je m'explique, après avoir téléchargé le Install Adobe Download Assistant depuis la page dédiée, je rencontre ce message d'erreur à chaque tentative.
    J'ai ré-installé Adobe AIR dans le doute, téléchargé à nouveau l'installateur, mais le message d'erreur persiste. Je ne trouve pas d'explication à ce problème, et je souhaiterai savoir si certains d'entre-vous l'ont déjà rencontré ; quelqu'un peut-il m'éclairer à ce sujet ?
    Sincèrement,
    Jules

    Problème résolu, il s'agissait bien d'un problème entre deux instances du Adobe Download Assistant ; j'ai supprimé proprement l'ancienne à l'aide de AppZapper, vidé la corbeille et tenté de lancer ADA à nouveau : tout fonctionne… ! Voilà, un grand merci pour ton aide.
