I just opened this file from 2006 in CC 2020:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ra5e8gwlkqd58r6/3DTxt.aep?dl=0

It was created with AE version 8.0.2 and that was CS3.

It was converted on import to the latest version but opened up just fine:

You should be able to open a CS5 file in any current version of After Effects. 

 

If you don't have AE, you have a problem, but if you do, the project should open up just fine. Feel free to download the sample project and give it a try.
