Trouble downloading InDesign trial. "Unable to access critical file/directory"

When trying to download a trial of InDesign I keep on getting the following error message: Installer was unable to access a critical file / directory. (Error code 46).

I've moved your question to the downloading, installing and setting up forum.
Which version of ID are you trying to install? What OS?

    SAngye.IJ are you currently logged in under a restricted account?  If not and you are logged in under an administrator account then it is likely the file permissions under your current User account have become compromised.
    I would recommend reviewing your installation logs to determine the location where the file permissions have become compromised.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.
    You can also find details on how to adjust your file permissions at Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html.

    Please try the following steps:
    Windows:
    Please go to C:\Users\(your own user)\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE and rename opm.db file.
    MAC:
    /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE and rename opm.db

  • When i drag and drop an image on my site. it gives the following error. "Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follo"

    I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
    Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
    I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks kumars ,
    I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
    "(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
    Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
    Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

    This means?
    This is fun BTW. Two days and two different silly errors applying themselves arbitrarily. Yesterday was the network, today its this.

    heres the fix i used for on a Mac
    1. While in the Finder, select the menu command Finder > Preferences.
    2. In the General panel, ensure the option "Connected Servers" is selected under the heading "Show these items on the desktop:", then close the preferences dialog box.
    3. Choose the menu command Finder > Hide Others.
    4. Close all open Finder windows to ensure you can see all items on your desktop.
    5. If you locate what appears to be a mounted volume with the name "Users", Control + Click on its icon and choose the contextual menu command Eject "Users".
    6.  Add or update your article(s).
    7.  Cross fingers
    8. If doesn't work ask for a refund

  • How can we access the file/directory system in the server

    Hi friends,
    I have made a text editor attached with an audio player for my project.
    Both text editor and audio player are implemented in applet and put in to a
    jsp page using jsp:plugin. Text editor and player are separate applets running
    in the same page and from same server.A client who is using this editor may
    want to save the edited text files to the server as well as hear audio files from
    directories in the server.
    My question is how can we access the file/directory system in the server
    like we do in the local machine.When the user cliks save or openfromserver button
    in the editor, folder/files in the server must be displayed as we do with FileChooser.
    I am using Apache Tomcat 5,wiindows 2000 server, jdk1.5.
    manu

    You can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.

  • Downloaded indesign trial, yet it says it's expired, despite the fact that I've not even started the trial!

    Need a bit of help! I've just downloaded the trial version of Indesign CC, and after waiting ages for it to install it's telling me my trial has already expired when I haven't even managed to open Indesign. I've tried logging in/out, reinstalling both Creative Cloud CC and Indesign itself (and restarting my laptop), and also have tried the Creative Cloud Cleanup tool but to no avail! I have paid for versions of Photoshop & Premiere Elements...maybe that's interfering with the trial? :/

    great! well unless my antivirus is interfering with it, I haven't done any of those things....I've never used it this is the first time....  I can't even just buy Indesign, because of this creative cloud nonsense wanting to charge ridiculous amounts per month! Looks like I'll be forking out for the bus instead and using the computers on campus...Thanks anyway!
