CS6 Master Collection main data file download is .TXT format

After recent computer changes I went to re-load Master Collection CS6. The download offering at Adobe contains two files:

MasterCollection_CS6_LS6.exe  (1031 KB)

MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.txt    (6,504,448 KB)

The text format designation of that second seems a bit odd to me. Not surprisingly the first file will not extract it and it doesn't seem to matter if I change the suffix to .7z, .exe or other usual suffix.

Win 10 64bit.

Thanks for any input

    Just followed that link and it seems to be the same location as I attempted download from.

    When I point on the file to download it still labels it with a .TXT suffix.

    I have downloaded that a number of times in the last hours with no luck.

    Seems to me that there are two likely answers to this.

    1. That my machine is now somehow incapable of reading the 7z suffix and places .txt in its stead.

    2. That Adobe has miss labelled that particular file.

    I did try previously to change the suffix to .7z but that yielded the same result. Essentially the loader file didn't see it as materially helpful and noted that the data file should be in the same folder as itself (which the .txt suffixed file was)

    Thanks again for your reply, any other thoughts?


    Have you tried using a different Internet Browser to download the 7z file? The MIME type recognition issue might be browser-specific.
