I am sure that Ashraf is correct in thinking the problem might be on your end. Several of the comments are from people that were successful in installing, activating, and running the software. It seems to work as it claims. You should try it again; you are missing out on one of the better ones we have seen being offered at SoS.
If your computer is having issues installing the software and others are able to successfully install the software without issues, why do you think Soft Xpansion is to blame?
If you still cannot install the software, get a good computer tech to install it for you, and also check out your system to see why it cannot install the software. It doesn’t matter if the computer tech is older or younger than the programmers of the software; it is what the tech knows and whether they can diagnose a system that matters, and they should know the difference between a trail and a trial.
As for your response to Gene, getting the Adobepdf.dll file in the right place is only the first step. Regardless of being able to install the Adobe Creative Suite, there is no way to activate Adobe Create Suite CD3 or CS2 or below (and probably other versions). Adobe will not accept phone call activation either. Effectively, Adobe has been able to turn those older versions into a subscription that has ended. I think it is very wrong because they were not purchased as subscriptions; they were purchased with the expectation they would work indefinitely the same way they were originally distributed. I have no quarrels with Adobe not having free updates or upgrades on those earlier versions, but they should not have killed them totally. If Soft Xpansion ever follows a similar route, I will be just as outspoken.
