How do I reload Photoshop elements 2 from my CD. It will not install ?

Question

I uninstalled the old copy of Photoelements 2 and tried to reinstall the program using the CD. The CD runs but no download occurs. Anybody with a solution?

That is old enough that I **think** it will not activate even if you do get it to install

CS2 + Acrobat 7 + Audition 3 (AND EARLIER) Activation Server is gone, so read below

You MUST use the special version and serial number on the page, not your original disc or serial number

NOTE that CS2 will not install at all on a "modern" Mac with an Intel CPU

When you install the special version of PPro2 on a Win7 or Win8 or Win10 computer, you MAY need to right click the program icon and select WinXP compatibility from the option popup

copy the cd contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory. if you have win os you may need to use compatibility mode.
