error 16 with windows 7

Hi,

I've donloaded AE CS6 Trial a number of time but each time after a while I get the "error 16" message and will then will reload trial.

I've followed the documented fix which starts off as making the Adobe PCD folder able to be written to as it listed as read only.

I've attempted to change the attribute from the properties general tab to untick read only. This doesn't make the change.

I've confirmed I'm logged  in as adminitrator.

I've went to the Microsoft site and found that Windows 7 doesnt allow you to change the folder attribute from the properties general tab.

I then used the cmd "attribut -r path folder" and that did not work.

I can't believe that I am the only only person runing Windows 7 (Home) and AE CS6. (Or am I?)

Is there anyone out there using W7 and AE CS6 sucessfully? If so, how in the heck did you get it to run?????

Thx in advance.

    Hi 1032tony,

    Might try download and installing the AE trial when logged in with the built in Administrative account.
