Participating Frequently

I fixed this very inappropriately by downloading and installing an older version of the software because I could not find a full, offline, installer package to solve my problem.

After installing, the updater fetched the latest version and installed it.

Should never need to take such a roundabout means of installation, especially with a company as big and well known as Adobe. That's using hacker tricks to gain the correct install.

For posterity, you don't actually have to install an older version.

If we had known the operating system up front, we would probably have directed you to the appropriate installation troubleshooting guide, which would have solved this for you without requiring you to install an older version.

If you're running across this thread and have the same problem, you can find those guides here:

Also, if the guides don't help (or the offline installer is necessary), posting copies of your installation logs will help us understand why the installation was failing.
