Additional information
This error indicates that you have only downloaded one of the two files needed for a successful download and installation of a Windows product. For example, if you're downloading Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection for Windows, you download MasterCollection_CS5_LS3.exe and MasterCollection_CS5_LS3.7z. If you only downloaded MasterCollection_CS5_LS3.exe, then the Adobe Support Advisor Download Module indicates that MasterCollection_CS5_LS3.7z is missing.
