Download ADE 2.0 for Windows—Not working?

Hi,

I've downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 for Windows thrice from the Adobe website link. It is 5.6 MB and downloads in seconds (as in 3-5). Nothing I do makes it run. I'm logged in as Administrator.

An aside, though it should not make any difference, I am doing this over Teamviewer 7.0.14563 on my father's computer.

Any advice?

Thanks

I have just managed to solve this problem.

On the application (.exe file):

Right click, select properties

At the bottom, beneath 'Attributes' I found a security warning which was preventing it from running. Click the button and voila.

Hope that helps.

I have the exact same issue.

I'm on Vista 64, I have already 1.7.2.1131.

The exe after being downloaded just cannot be run. I have an Admin account, and even if I right-click and choose Open as Administrator, it does not work..

I don't normally have antivirus issues, but for the record I have AVG free. I have downloaded on 2 separate browsers.

I have tried installing before and after having uinstalled ADE 1.7.2, but that seems to make no difference. I have several Adobe apps (trial editions and regular editions) on my machine, with nothing giving me problems except this one.

Pete, that solved my problem. Thanks. (Note: on my machine, there was a button which said "Unblock" which I needed to push.)

Thanks, Jeff, but it's a Windows 7 machine. Pete (Win8) answered my issues.

Thanks TdeV1.  I was mainly posting this for future users facing this difficulty under Windows Vista similar to I believe Idiotprogrammer2 experienced.
