Yeah, right.  I spent an hour trying on 'chat' and got nowhere.  They don't seem to know anything about the dl assistant.

I tried to install from here:

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flash

the dl assistant comes up and it downloads cs5 flash pro and then prompts me that my system is due for a 'restart' which I select 'ignore'.  Then it starts the installation and part way thru it prompts me to terminate ie and chrome.  Okay, soon as I do that the installation terminates altogther and I have to start all over.  Since it takes a long time to dl each time, all i want to know is where did the 'exe' go.  when the install starts it seems to be running something called pdapp.  i can't find the trial exe.  i did this yesterday with the flash builder and everything worked as expected but it looks to work completely diff with flash pro.  Why???  Where is the exe?

Thanks for nothing.  I figured this out on my own.  The download assistant puts flash pro in the 'program files' folder.  So why did it prompt for a dl folder and why does it do this??  geez
