32bit Photoshop on 64bit Windows

I need to use the 32bit version of Photoshop on 64 bit Windows because I use a plugin that was never updated to 64bit.  When the Creative Cloud App stopped installing the 32bit version I found this site that had direct download links.  Now they are saying there are no more direct downloads.

Is there a way for me to install the 32bit version of Photoshop 2015.5?

    Yay.  Adobe released the downloads like they have in the past.

    Keep Adobe Photoshop up to date

    I made a plug-in that will allow you to run most of the 32 bit plugins inside 64 bit photoshop. It is called plugin bridge and you can find it on Mediachance site.

    Thanks, looks like that could be a helpful plug-in. Does it work with Photoshop CC, e.g., the latest version? The page doesn't say.

    Yes, happy to say there has been some good progress made with Photoshop – but we are still waiting for cohesiveness in how the ESD packages are handled, including providing standard installers for all the other CC applications.

    Another point is that for some reason the CC Desktop App won’t completely recognize when the new install is performed outside of it; at present, it will still show an “Update” button for Photoshop, even after the new version is installed via direct link.

    So you might want to hold off on using that for the moment, until Adobe learns more about why the direct link install isn’t working 100% perfectly (and fixes it)… Also to pull in the new releases of all the other CC tools.

    Lvthunder Photoshop CC 2015.5 will work on 32-bit operating system.  You can find the update system requirements at Photoshop system requirements .  What specific error do you receive when you install Photoshop through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application?

    For details on how to install the update Photoshop CC 2015.5 see Update Adobe Creative Cloud apps .

    I don't get an error.  I'm using 64 bit Windows, but I need 32bit Photoshop for my old plugin to work.  The Creative Cloud App doesn't have the choice to install the 32bit version of Photoshop only the 64bit version.
