Many times when you see an old thread like this on the first page of a forum, it's because a spammer posted and the post was deleted.

Spammers target old threads for some reason.

Probably, Kglad, but Savannah stated she had bought the newest Photoshop.

If you are trying to install an older version of Photoshop, Savannah, then see https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install-discussions/download-non-subscription-adobe-software/td-p/11919842 for information on how you can download non-subscription software from your Adobe account. This would include older versions of Photoshop if they are available.

Good point; we will be switching to a new engagement engine soon. I wonder if it will still display 10-year-old discussions as current.

Savannah, sorry you are unable to install Photoshop. Can you post the exact version of Photoshop you are trying to install? I don't see any recent purchases or active memberships under the e-mail address you used to post to this public discussion forum.

Can you also confirm that you are using Mac OS 10 and not a more recent version, Savannah?
