OLD PHOTOSHOP 4.0 and 6.0 install in Windows 8.1

I have an OLD PHOTOSHOP 4.0 CD and a PHOTOSHOP 6.0 UPGRADE CD.

I am running Windows 8.1

I had no problem in Windows 7 installing the 4.0 CD - then the UPGRADE 6.0 over that.

But Windows 8.1 would not allow an install of PHOTOSHOP 4.0 but probably would accept a full PHOTOSHOP 6.0 install...... but I only have the 6.0 UPGRADE.

So I have a Catch 22.

If I try to install the 6.0 UPGRADE CD first it wants to look through my HDD for the 4.0 install first.

But - it isn't there cause it wouldn't install on Windows 8.1.

WHAT TO DO ???????

    You should not need to have 4.0 installed, you should only need the serial number from it to confirm the upgrade installation of CS6.  When you are activating CS6 it should provide the option of specifying the serial number for 4.0 when it is unable to find a qualifying version on the machine.
