downloading and installing previously purchased Premiere El w/out using Akamai

[mc96435940]

I had to return my computer to factory settings and need to reinstall my previously purchased PrEl. This time I want to install it without using the Akamai....installer as it caused me no end of problems in the past. I actually helped another person download and install the same version on their computer and the downloader gave a choice to install it through Akamai (sp?) or not. I don't remember that happening when I installed it a year earlier on my computer. I have downloaded the pages of the program (Ad Pr El) to install, but have not installed yet, because I don't want to run into the previous problems. Will this give me the choice, or am I locked into the necessity of using that other horrible program (Akamai)? It was constantly using my computer for its own ends, adding spyware, and stalling everything no matter how many times I uninstalled it. Thank you ahead of time for the answer.

Isn't there a custom install option to avoid that?

OK. That's what I was asking about. If that's right, as the star and "correct answer" implies, then I will go ahead and try it.

Thanks!

No, no, no.

The star and "correct answer" is a button for you to mark it correct if in fact you find it to be the correct answer.

Hopefully it will be.
