how do i open project rome???

[nathan0]

I downloaded it but it is just a .zip file full of what I assume are the files for the program but it is not clear on how to actually start the program

What is project rome?

[nathan0]

go to rome.adobe.com it is like a free piece of software but it is now retired but still downloadable

[John T Smith]

Did you UN-zip the file into a folder so you could see if there is "something like" setup.exe or a text/doc with instructions?

[nathan0]

yes but there was nothing

[John Waller]

It is an Adobe Air application.

Do you have Adobe Air and Flash player installed?

[nathan0]

yes, I do but I found nothing

Hi Nathan0,

As you mention, Project Rome was retired in 2010 (Project ROME Retirement‌), and it is no longer supported by Adobe. As such, there is no guarantee you will be able to successfully install, particularly on a newer operating system. That said, Project Rome's installer is an .air file so you need Adobe AIR‌ to open it.

If you do not see the .air file, your download may be incomplete. In that case, please try removing the existing files and re-downloading from the links provided here: Project ROME | All-in-one content creation and publishing.‌ Instructions on getting started with the software are also available by following that link.

Let us know if we can provide further assistance.

Best,

Del

thanks for the reply. I tried to reinstall as I did not find any .air files but even when reinstalled multiple times I can still not find it. would you mind following the links that you gave me and try to download for yourself and see where I went wrong if you don't mind.

Did you see this?

I seriously doubt that an Adobe employee is going to be allowed to provide any further help
