Downloaded trial of Illustrator, it seems to be there, but it does not start

I downloaded a trial of Illustrator into Adobe Download Assistant.  It created a folder called Adobe Illustrator CS6, inside which is a file called Illustrator_16_LS16.dmg.  By clicking on which opens the following window:

A double click on the AI icon gives us this window:

Screen Shot 2012-12-09 at 19.08.17.png

And a double click on the Setup icon does absolutely nothing. No error, just nothing at all.  Am I a fool?  How to start?

If I click on install in the Finder, I can see that it is version 6.0.335.0

I'm on a MacBook Air, run OSX 10.7.5.

I finally solved it myself.  The figure should be documented as I can't be the only person who ever has this problem.

Essentially, a reboot solved the above problem so that I could actually run the app install, but it wasn't the end of the story.  I had problems with 'Media DB Error 18' and finally short - cut a very short story - the solution is to restart in Safe Mode (which means now the SHIFT key as soon as you hear the startup tone).  Then you can get the installation to proceed with the installation.  Restart again to return to normal mode.

    I'm having the same problem I download widevine video optimizer for windows 8 using ie, but it will not be installed.  does anyone know how to get this plugin to install?

    Hi Tracey,

    I understand that you can not install the optimizer Widevine video plugin in Internet Explorer.

    To better understand the issue, please send us the following information:

    1. What is the exact error that you have found when trying to install this plugin?
    2. Is the problem occurs when you attempt to install another plugin or is it specific to this?

    If you try to download plugins for other browsers and install it on Internet Explorer, it will not work then I suggest you download the plugin which is developed for Internet Explorer.

    Please, try to reinstall the correct plugin from the link below and see if it helps:

    I downloaded the movie player app on the app store, but it does not open? I just want to be able to convert ts to MP4 video to watch on my ipad

    If the video isn't an article purchased on iTunes Store (such as a movie or TV show), you can convert it in iTunes (on Mac) in a format that works with iPad.  The video must be in your iTunes library, so you can select it.  The command is in the iTunes menu bar, file-> create new-> Create iPad or Apple TV Version.

  • Downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CC, but it does not work.

    I downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CC, but it does not work. When PS is launched, I get a message that PS has stopped working and it will be closed. It's as if the program has not been downloaded correctly. For LR, I had a shortcut, not for the PS and certain elements seem to be missing.

    Hello

    Thanks for the update.

    I can't see the accident report

    P3: 55af6140

    P4: aticaldd64.dll

    P5: 6.14.10.1589

    It clearly means the graphics card of your Photoshop plant.

    If the update doesn't fix the problem

    Update graphics of the website of the manufacturer or try workarounds mentioned below card

    This may disable the use of the graphics card in Photoshop CC.

    • With Photoshop closed navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 and rename the file to Sniffer.exe.old Sniffer.exe (this will bypass the test of the minor flaws in your graphics card and can stop Photoshop down). On the other
    • Open the Device Manager and disable the use of your graphics card. In your name card case beginning will be AMD *.

    Now Photoshop restart once the graphics card is disabled (* this is sufficient to determine if your graphics card is the cause of the crash or not)

    • Contact manufacturer for fixed map if above does not solve the issue.

    Let us know if this helps
