Problems with CS2 download from Adobe.

Please bear with me, I am not computer literate.  I attempted to download CS2 from discs onto my new computer - everything legitimate, but I couldn't get the serial number validated.  I then saw that I had to uninstall it and re-install direct from Adobe, using the new serial number provided. 

I did all of that.

I printed off the PDF that showed me what to expect.  The actual process bore little resemblance to the written description. 

The PDF mentioned I should 'select the following disk images: CS_2.0_UE_Ret_D2' and a list of similarly titled disc images, but what I have sitting in my downloads are files called things like 'Creative Suite CS Disc 2' - seems between the PDF and the downloads they can't even agree how to spell disc! 

When it came to the prompt, 'Insert disc two,' I could not find a way to carry Creative Suite CS Disc 2 from downloads to the installation programme.  Eventually I had to close the installation part and now I can't seem to recover it and keep trying.

Disc one appears to have installed as I now have ImageReady CS2 and Photoshop CS2 working, but all the other files are sitting in my downloads and I can't install them. So, the present situation is this: when I click on Creative Suite CS Disc 2 InstallShield Wizard starts unpacking it then says, 'oh look it's already unpacked, do you want to overwrite the existing file? I decline and I get no further.

I REALLY need InDesign for a University project, I need to get started as soon as possible too.  I am a mature student and I can't seem to get help anywhere with this.  Can anyone assist an older lady out of her depth, please?

    New computer? CS2 is completely unsupported under any new operating system whether it be Mac or Windows.

    I'm afraid you are very much on your own.
