Trying to install CS5 and have received the same errors on a MacBook Pro and an iMac: "Install" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

I downloaded this installation package from Adobe:

Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products

    IF Mac El Capitan read below

    CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated to run on Mac El Capitan

    -which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems

    -you may get CS6 and earlier programs to install and run, or you may not (some do, some don't)

    -Java https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html may help

    That is most likely a false error message

    Install CS5 on Mac 10.11 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2003455 may help (also for other than CS5)

    -also a TEMPORARY security change https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2039319
