Re: Can"t install Photoshop CS5 mac

I just tried this on Mojave and it says "Install" can't be opened.  I tried double clicking and even open in terminal.  Is there a way to use my CS5?

    Since this was branched, here are some instructions

    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

    --Also read for more information https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2458382

    --and https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/install-or-run-applications-new.html

    I have NO IDEA of the above will work with your even later Mac
