Installation Failed - Free Trial of Premiere Elements 2018

[triciaes]

When I try to install the free trial of Premiere Elements I got the error shown below. "Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure". Since I downloaded the software directly from Adobe, there should not be any trouble with the verification. I have already tried the limited troubleshooting tips that Adobe offers and now I am hoping that someone here will have a different idea. I was hoping to test this program out & decide if it would be a good fit for me, but so far I'm thinking Adobe is not good.

Did you extract the Zip file before you started your installation or did you try to install from within the downloaded Zip file?

Also, do you have any other versions of the program installed on your system?

Yes, I did extract the Zip file.
