Successful install but can't open program

[cglenn7777]

Using a MAC to install ADE 3.0.

Successfully downloaded, I clicked on the .dmg file, and it appeared to install correctly.  It left an icon on my desktop called ADE 3.0, a red record-player looking disk.  But when I click on it, it just opens the installer and not the program.  I even dropped it into the Applications folder, but it still just opens the installer.

Also, there was a download of some sort of manual, and when downloaded, it is called welcome.epub.epub.  But my MAC does not recognize .epub and asks what do I want to use to open it.  I had expected it to automatically launch ADE and to display its 'getting started' instructions.

I'm doing all this so I can read an ebook (.pdf format) which I want to download from a publisher who says I need this program to read it.

I can't see how to delete this post, so PLEASE IGNORE.

After I unloaded the ADE 3.0, it *then* created useable icons.  But I'm screwed as I have V10.6.  Why does this not work until one has 10.7?!?

Here is a link to an earlier version Adobe Digital Editions downloads

Actually, when I went to uninstall it, it appears it was never loaded into my system.  I assumed that was because I have 10.6.  I'll try an earlier edition per your suggestion.

I installed V2.0 successfully, and it opened as expected.  I'm not sure why the specs for V3.0 say Mac OS 10.6 is okay...it was not okay on my system.

Thanks Michael, problem solved!
