PS has only been subscription based since 2013. Your version required a subscription. If you no longer pay for that, you no longer have access to the program.

CC versions of Photoshop should be installed using the CC application. Provided you have a valid subscription it will allow you to install v26, v25 or v22.2.

I am not into cc and stuff. I just clicked on PS installer. Exe and got the blocking.

What should I do instead?

I just clicked on PS installer.

It won't work that way. The CC desktop app is the installer. Best case, clicking the .exe will try to open the CC app, but if that's not functional it will just stop.

You can't use Photoshop without the CC app.
