I have downloaded the entire CS6 Master Collection and now I get a message that i have not enough disk space, the minimum disc space I have is 186 GB - how big is this thing?

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...

Jeff,

as I said, I read the support threads and discovered this "Applications Folder" subtlety and tried to work around it as described. BTW, as I mentioned, the default folder the ADA seems to want to install itself in is "Applications"... So unless Apple is providing zero flexibility to third-party installers, maybe that would be a first fix to apply to the ADA, don't you think?

Basically, you are telling me I wasted my time downloading the 1.7 GB twice as instructed using the tools provided by Adobe, and there is no fix to it except for just ignoring that "recommended" approach and using the alternate one...

Will try and report any problems.

Thanks.

I did download directly. That worked. Now I am reading this thread, as I was welcome by a "serious error" crash right in the middle at the start of my first project...

Hello.

I have tried to install CS6 trial twice, with each attempt connected to an independent download of the 5.9GB installer to a different location.  I'm getting the same error with both the default destination (users folder) and a different location (dowloads folder).  When the installer opens the .dmg file, the checksum verrification fails.  I can still mount the installer by skipping the verrification, but then when I try to install just one of the applications, speed grade, for example, the installer fails with this error:

Exit Code: 15

-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------

- 0 fatal error(s), 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

ERROR: ASU has quit unexpectedly.

ERROR: Media DB Error : 18

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------

I have tried the 5-hour download twice with the same results.  What is wrong with the installer download data?

Thanks,

Ben Hopkins

I also received the Error #101.  It is very frustrating.  I thought I would try Adobe because I was having trouble with Roxio and AVS locking up or shutting down.  I have a Very robust new computer, iCore 7, 16GB ram, 1 TB hard drive.

I guess I will go back to Roxio, at least is has downloaded successfully to my computer.

I have tried over and over to download adobe acrobat and cannot do it.   free trial   WHY????     kimpan       please help

I have LITERALLY spent all day TWICE now trying to install the trial version of CS6. I got an error message both times, even after I shut down everything on my computer during the install.... I still get a message after waiting while it installs and initializes, etc. which says, Installation Failed.Installer failed to initialize. Try again after shutting down your anti-virus and firewall (WHICH I HAD DONE AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT GAVE ME THIS ERROR.) I am BEYOND frustrated and aggravated.... can you help me???

PLEASE HELP ME: I did the direct download for Adobe Premiere free trial and just as it was in the last stages of installing it (this is after waiting 40+ minutes for the folder to download) it just completely vanished. I tried downloading it again, waiting another 30-40 minutes, where it told me "another adobe installer program is already running, close all adobe installers and retry". Now it won't let me open anything, and there is NO adobe installer program running. I am absolutely aggravated after waiting an hour and a half for nothing, and I'm about ready to give up on adobe. Thanks for the waste of time...

where can i find the direct download option? 

i just downloaded what i wanted through the creative cloud. i don't intend on using the Assistant anytime soon.

Thats what i think they are doing. Making it so hard to use the download assistant that we are forced to go to the cloud...

I'm trying to download the cs6 master collection and when trying to download the download assistant I get this error "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."

iam trying to download adobe after effects cs6 from adobe Assistant but it keeps saying (error 107)
