Hello,

I have been attempting to install the Adobe Director 30-Day Trial to test out
the program. Each time I attempt to run the program (Setup.exe), I receive an
initialization loading message. Click
http://xs126.xs.to/xs126/08146/adobeinitprob616.jpg to see it.

And that loads fully. Once that is finished loading the message disappears
and nothing happens. I've checked the CPU requirements, and my computer meets
all of them. Any idea of what the problem could be?

Thanks!

Find yourself an extracter that supports 7Zip files and extract the
contents of the installer.
Here's some detailed instructions:
<quote>
a little hint for anybody who likes to test the trial version on win xp,
but doesn't want it to mess with the registry and overwrite existing
file type associations for DMX2004 etc. (yet): here a little tutorial
how you can run it without "real" installation. tested on win xp pro
sp2, logged in as admintrator.


1. either run "Director_WWE.exe" and let it extract everything to a
temporary folder (and then quit the installer), or, much faster, use the
"7-Zip file manager" (or any other uncompress tool that supports 7-zip
compression) and only extract the folder "\Adobe Director
11\payloads\AdobeDirector11en_US\" from "Director_WWE.exe"


2. move the folder "AdobeDirector11en_US" to C:\ (otherwise there might
be problems with too long pathes), (and delete the rest of the extracted
files if you expanded the complete exe)


3. open a DOS box in "C:\AdobeDirector11en_US" and enter


msiexec /a AdobeDirector11en_US.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\dir11tmp


this will extract the Adobe Director 11 folder to
"C:\dir11tmp\program files\Adobe\Adobe Director 11"


4. done! now you can put the "Adobe Director 11" folder whereever you
like (and delete C:\dir11tmp) , e.g. to "C:\Adobe Director 11", and just
run "Director.exe" by double-clicking.

Thank you for your response.

I've gotten up to task three, and am trying to enter the following into my
Command Prompt:
msiexec /a AdobeDirector11en_US.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\dir11tmp

Whenever I try to do this, I receive
http://xs226.xs.to/xs226/08140/adobedosprob612.jpg. I have tried several times
and have checked my spelling.

Whenever I enter this:
msiexec /a AdobeDirector11en_US.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\dir11 tmp (space between
dir11 and tmp)

I receive http://xs226.xs.to/xs226/08140/adobedosprob2119.jpg. I click 'OK'
and the message disappears and no other directory appears in my C:/ drive.

Any idea of what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks!

Try creating the target folder 'C:\dir11tmp' before running the DOS
command. If that fails, you might very well have a corrupt installer -
try downloading it again.

I've re-downloaded the program twice now and have tried creating the
C:\dir11tmp before using Command Prompt, and the error persists whenever
clicking 'Director.exe'.

Any other advice on why the error could be occurring?
