  • InDesign CS6 trial download: "Installer failed to initialize"

    Hi, I have successfully downloaded Adobe InDesign CS6, using the Download Manager Software. When I click on 'Install", a window appears with a progress bar ("Adobe Installer"), and the bar gets about 2/3 through, then I get an error message saying "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." Then a link to download Adobe Support Advisor, or button to Quit.
    So, I downloaded and ran Adobe Support Advisor. After initializing, the software tells me "no issues detected."
    - My machine meets the system reqs for InDesign CS6
    - Obviously I have tried restarting my machine and running all these steps again. Still getting the error.
    Please help!!! Thank you.

    Okay, Mylenium, here are my system specs:
    Mac os x version 10.6.8, 4gigs memory, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 470 Gigs of available hard drive space.
    I have run all of Apple's software updates up to today, and I have also run cleanup and Disk Utility repairs just in case these are a factor. Still getting the error message with the "Failure to initialize install."
    Also: I have installed on my machine InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Dreamweaver CS5.
    Can you help me?

  • I have CC Indesign CS6, but client has CS3 and wants CS3 files.

    I have CC Indesign CS6, but client has CS3 and wants CS3 files. Can I access earlier versions through CC to do the 'downsave' thing? Any workarounds?

    You're a bit of a bind.
    To save backwards you need to File>Export and choose IDML
    But you will need to find someone with InDesign CS4 or CS5 as that is the versions that will allow to File>Export and choose INX.
    INX is the only version that can be opened in CS3.
    To be clear - the client should really update to the same version as you - as with each version the text engines are different, so there will be different line endings and perhaps even overset text depending on the layouts etc.
    Plus any new feature in CS6 that was not in Cs5.5 or earlier versions will be stripped out - and going back to CS3 there are a few things which could alter the layout significantly.
    I suggest the client upgrade to the latest version. Or if you can find a CS3 version online to purchase for yourself - either way - you should both work on the same version of the software.

    if you're using a dvd to install:
    copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
    if you're using a mac:
    1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
    2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
