hi, That file is the Installer package and thus should not be placed in the Applications folder. You can either run it from the dmg or copy and paste it to your Desktop and run it from there. Once you open it, Adobe is less than perfect with respect to accessibility so there are some tricks that you'll need to use. Instead of using VO navigation, use your tab key and the spacebar. That is, tab through the dialog and VO will read the button or element that is focused, then just press the spacebar to activate the button or checkbox. Once everything has been installed, there will be a Done button that you can press and all is good.
