Hi 규보이67937828,As you have mentioned you are unable to install the Adobe CS5 trial on your computer as it fails with an error message "installer failed to initialize".Could you please help us with few more details, like what is the operating system of your machine with its version?Also are you using the following link to download the product? Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products.Awaiting your response.

If you have a Mac, read below... also, did you know that CS5 is no longer sold, so you will only have a trial period?

CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan or later operating systems

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

-Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or Sierra

--Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility

--READ HERE https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916 for an Adobe solution to installing old programs, including a link to installing the old Java runtime that is required
