As of April 10 and 11, the Adobe Digital Edition 4.5.8 download link is still downloading 4.5.7.  Why?

    Well I tried the download link and it's pointing the 4.5.7 exe.  But if you go to their FTP site, I was able to download 4.5.8.

    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/

    Hope that helps.

    THIS STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

    Thanks for the link.  I am starting to think that Adobe doesn't actually look at these forums and that they really don't support the Digital Editions product.

    As of around 15 minutes ago, the Windows installer for Adobe Digital Editions version 4.5.8 linked to from

    https://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html is actually for version 4.5.7.182628 and is being flagged by Belarc Advisor as having a critical security vulnerability.

    Is the posted version patched and up to date and someone at Adobe forgot to update its internal version number? Or did someone at Adobe forget to update the download link? Or is the patched Windows version not actually available yet?

    There's been no response from Adobe to this problem report -- again, relating to an ostensibly critical security vulnerability -- in 3 days.

    Going on day 4 and still no word from Adobe.  Don't they monitor this forum???  They don't offer any support other than the forum and they don't post here????

    Where are you finding version 4.5.8?  I go to the adobe digital editions page and click on download and it takes me to a page where I can select to download the windows or macintosh version of the program.  I download and install the windows version and it is still version 4.5.7.

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Im also trying to install the pgm to get books onto a sony ereader. The .exe file downloads and starts then stops with the message that microsoft? is being notified and will close the pgm if solution not found.  Not OK.

    I also tried to download version 4.5.8 for Windows today (2018/04/12) and got what was labelled the 4.5.7 installer when I opened it.  The installed executable that results from running the installer also shows that it is version 4.5.7.

    When is this going to be fixed?

    Der Text des Download-Links ist irreführend, denn der dort hinterlegte Installer 4.5 hat die korrekte aktuelle Version von 4.5.8.(182857)

    The site still has the wrong version.  I clicked on the download link and installed the software and it is version 4.5.7 182628.  Please if there is a way to get 4.5.8, let us know how.

    Thanks,

    Bill
