Question

Can't download ColdFusion Builder 3 without Akamai Download Manager??

Hello, everyone,

Based upon the recommendation of someone that I respect, I would like to give ColdFusion Builder 3 a shot.

However, every time I try to download ColdFusion Builder 3, I get a pop-up that says I have to install the Akamai Download Manager, first.

Primary:  I am at my work computer, and I don't have the necessary permissions to install a download manager.

Even if I did have permissions, I don't like download managers (or, really, ANYthing by Akamai).

I need to download it for my DEV system (on which I do have install permissions.)

Secondary:  I am not going to submit a request to the PTB/admins for them to download it.

It would take forever to get a decision, and then there's a 99% chance the answer will be 'no'.

Tertiary:  I have downloaded many things from Adobe without using a download manager by Akamai.

Why, all of a sudden, is this so necessary?

V/r,

^_^

    Be calm my friend. Hope you already sorted this but if not, and for anyone else.. The "File 1 of 1" link in the popup has your answer. Didn't work for me when clicking on it either but if you look at the link you will find http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CB/3/win64/ColdFusionBuilder_3_WWEJ_win64.exe

    Thanks for the suggestion.  But in both IE10 and FF, it takes me to the same page that has a form on the right side that has the download link.. this opens a pop-up (in both IE and FF) prompting me to download the Akamai Download Manager.

    V/r,

    ^_^
