Hey, I download the 30-day trial version of cs4-extended from adobe, the .exe and the .7z were 100% downloaded, everything fine, I extracted them and began the installation, but just at the last part where the installation is supposed to begin it wants me to put the cs4 cd in.

Why? How can I solve this? I’m not good at using computers actually, do I need to copy the 2 downloaded files to a cd first and run them off of it?

Please help me

Same problem here, albeit it with more complications. The hoops I had to jump through just to get the damn installer were downright insane – I eventually managed to get a trial version from a third party after the spectacular failure that is the download manager.

Anyway, the trial version keeps on whining me to put in the CD. I can’t, obviously. My operating system is Windows Vista, Service Pack installed. What’s up? I’ve spent two days trying to get the damn thing working, looking for answers from forums and FAQs, all for nought. Incidentally, RaMoX, I tried copying all the files to a separate CD, just to see if that might work as the required disk. It didn’t work for me, at any rate.

What’s really interesting in this is that the trial version is basically a sales pitch and a bloody important one too – I’m not going to spend 600 euroes on a program the quality of which is entirely unknown to me.

Let’s jot down my experiences:

a) Adobe Download Manager utterly failed to DO ANYTHING
b) The trial version refuses to activate AT ALL

Let’s see if customer services work a little better. I should hope so – I’m quite willing to pay up cash for the program, but I need at least some guarantee that I won’t be trading my money for a piece of crap, and so far my experiences with Adobe have been *awful*.
