I am trying to install Adobe Digital Editions

[rosamama]

I've been trying unsuccessfully to install Digital  Editions for 3 days and ended up with Creative Cloud, which I do not want.  Please help. [private info removed]  Thank you.

What kind of problems have you been getting that stopped the install working?

What operating system?

One thing that might be worth trying is to install the older version.

That often helps with Digital Editions problems, but without more information impossible to know if it will help for you.

There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.

(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)

Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172

Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 

It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.

Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.
