anwiii 17 Report post Posted December 5, 2009 i wanted to try out dreamweaver, but what happened is that i had to download the little installer program from akamai technologies. what a piece of crap as i am unable to connect. is there somewhere where i can just download it without the installer? an exe file or zipped file?i don't know why this installer is giving me connection problems. when i double click the installer, it will act like it's connecting and getting ready to install, and then go dead.

inverse_bloom 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Is that the Java based installer which loads up from Adobe? I had some troubles with it even with an ultra fast connection at the local college, it still took over 5 minutes to kick in. I tried it about 4-5 times to get it working. You could try a torrent but it will probably be tampered with and may contain a Trojan. (people always like to go for the Adobe products and MS OS's). Sorry i don't have any other suggestions.

mahesh2k 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2009 Yes, IB is right. You have to try torrent and find OEM based installers. I don't think there is any way other than web based installers from official adobe site.I have similar issues from MSDN, as even they started web based installers. >_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Sky- 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2009 Yeah well, Adobe's Download Manager sucks..it's the same as McAfee's download manager... They both seem the same software/application but edited in some way to make them different from each other.Ah well. I hope it works for you anwii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
