I did follow the instructions (see below) and now have the software, but the instructions above are not complete and the wizard has 2 extra screens that ask unclear information.
For example I had to register online, which I did with my HOME address. Yet the screen of eth wozard asks for my department and the address. It was not clear do I put my home address (which I did) or my departmental address). I think you need to test this better so that the instructions match what you see for version 10.2.
The instructions here talk about Net 3.5 yet there are 3 later versions of .net on the microsoft site, Why not build the software to work with those versions too? And at the same time update the installation files?

Dear Marcus Petz,
Please follow the steps below to download and install ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop.
Uninstall any previous versions of ArcGIS that you may already have on your machine. For best results, please download and use the ArcGIS Uninstall Utility below.
Download ArcGIS for Desktop, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, and the other files you would like to install. Please note that ArcGIS Data Interoperability, ArcGIS Data Reviewer, and ArcGIS Workflow Manager require ArcGIS for Desktop.
When downloading with the Esri Download Manager, you can select and download multiple products. However, only one product should be launched at a time when the downloads are complete.
Make sure you have write access to your download directory location as well as your ArcGIS installation directory location, and that no one is accessing it.
Install the Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 below.
Install and authorize ArcGIS for Desktop
Select a destination folder to extract the install files to. If you choose, you can automatically launch the setup after the files have been extracted
When prompted, select ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced Single Use.
When prompted, accept the default, I do not wish to authorize any extensions at this time. The extensions will be authorized automatically.
Enter your authorization number: EVA672873064.
Assistance, FAQs, and support for the ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop trial software are available on the online resources page.
